get_group_info

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

No annotations are provided, so the description is fully responsible for disclosing behavioral traits. The description only states it gets information but does not indicate whether the operation is read-only, what data is returned, or any side effects. This lack of detail leaves significant uncertainty.

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, very concise, and front-loaded with key information. It avoids unnecessary words, making it easy to parse. However, it may be too brief given the lack of detail elsewhere, but that is more a completeness issue.

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 that there is no output schema, no annotations, and only two parameters, the description should provide more context. It fails to explain what 'detailed information' includes, leaving the agent to guess the return value. For a simple tool, more completeness is expected to ensure correct invocation.

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% (both parameters have descriptions in the schema). The tool description does not add any additional meaning beyond the parameter names and types. Following the rule, a baseline of 3 is appropriate since the schema already documents the parameters adequately.

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 uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('detailed information about a group'), clearly indicating the tool's action. However, the phrase 'detailed information' is vague and does not specify what aspects of the group are returned, slightly reducing clarity.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_groups or get_page_item_info. There is no mention of prerequisites, such as requiring a group to exist or that the group is within a page, leaving the agent uninformed about appropriate contexts.

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