A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full behavioral disclosure responsibility. It does include a security-relevant note ('Returned content is untrusted'), which is valuable beyond the schema. Yet it does not disclose other behaviors like error handling, authentication, or whether the response is read-only (though 'Get' implies it). The untrusted warning is a positive addition but not comprehensive.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, tightly written sentence that states the core action and includes a crucial warning. It is front-loaded with the purpose and contains no fluff, making it highly efficient for an agent to parse.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity, the output schema already describes return structure, so the description need not repeat that. It covers the essential purpose, the untrusted content note, and implies the single-response scope. Minor omissions like authentication or error cases are not critical for a basic get operation, so it is sufficiently complete.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the description does not mention formId or responseId at all. The parameter names are self-explanatory, but the description adds no extra meaning about their roles, constraints, or formats. For a simple two-string tool, this is a minor gap, but the description should at least indicate that both are required.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description states a clear action (Get), a specific resource (one response), and a distinct scope (by ID). It differentiates itself from sibling get_form_responses, which presumably returns multiple responses, by explicitly limiting to a single response.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The phrase 'by ID' implies usage when a specific response ID is known, and the sibling get_form_responses likely handles list retrieval. However, the description does not explicitly compare with alternatives or state when not to use this tool, leaving usage somewhat implied rather than explicit.

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