get_track_routing_info

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It states it returns 'complete input/output routing info', which suggests read-only, but does not mention prerequisites (e.g., track existence) or side effects. The brief description does not adequately compensate for missing annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but it omits important information. It is appropriately front-loaded but not sufficiently detailed for a tool with no annotations and many siblings.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the presence of an output schema, the description does not need to detail return values, but it lacks guidance on when to use this tool among many similar siblings. The tool is simple, yet the description is minimal and does not cover necessary context for an AI agent to select it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0% and the description provides no extra meaning for the only parameter 'track_index'. While the parameter is self-explanatory, the description fails to add value beyond the bare schema, such as clarifying the indexing base (0-based) or validity requirements.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'get' and the resource 'complete input/output routing info for a track', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like set_track_routing (set) and get_available_routing (available vs current).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_available_routing or set_track_routing. The description implies a read operation but lacks context for selection.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
