get_global_section_element

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It adds context by listing the return content, which indicates read-only behavior via the verb 'Get', but it does not disclose error behavior, prerequisites, or any hidden side effects. The listing of returned fields is helpful but not comprehensive for behavioral transparency.

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, focused sentence that front-loads the purpose and lists specific details in parentheses. Every word contributes value, with no redundancy or filler.

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?

For a simple 2-parameter read tool, the description covers the purpose and return scope well, and the sibling context helps differentiate. However, without an output schema, the description could be more precise about the structure of the returned detail, and it omits potential caveats like failure modes. Still, it is largely complete for the tool's complexity.

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 description coverage is 100% for both parameters (element_id and global_section_id). The description does not add additional parameter semantics beyond the schema, so the baseline score of 3 applies.

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 a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('full detail of a single element inside a global section'), enumerating the included details (style, config, specials, events, bindings, responsive bp1..bp4, children IDs). This distinguishes it from siblings like get_global_section (section-level details) and search_global_section_elements (searching).

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?

The scope ('inside a global section') and detail level ('full detail') imply when to use this tool, but there is no explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives. The description lacks direct sibling differentiation or exclusions, so it's merely implied usage.

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