get_audit

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry all behavioral disclosure. It only states a retrieval action with no mention of side effects, permissions, or return characteristics. The term 'complete' is vague and does not reveal what fields or structure are returned.

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, short sentence with no filler. It front-loads the action and resource, making it easy to parse. There is no redundant information.

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 absence of an output schema and annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not describe the return value's structure, possible errors, or the meaning of 'complete audit.' For a simple retrieval by ID, some context like typical usage or response format is expected but missing.

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?

The input schema has 0% coverage—audit_id is defined only by its runtime type and title. The description does not explain what audit_id refers to or how to obtain it, beyond the implication from the tool name. It relies on the property name to carry meaning, which is minimal but not entirely useless.

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 'Retrieve' and the resource 'one complete automation audit,' which distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_audits that likely return multiple audits. The word 'one' and 'complete' make the scope specific and unambiguous.

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 given about when to use get_audit versus alternatives such as list_audits or save_audit. An agent is left to infer that this retrieves a single audit, but there is no explicit statement of conditions or exclusions.

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