devops_wiki_page_get_by_url

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

The description indicates a read operation ('retrieves'), but does not explicitly state it as read-only or disclose any authorization requirements or side effects. Given no annotations, it carries the burden but partially meets it.

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, well-structured sentence that conveys the core functionality without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and efficient.

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?

The tool has an output schema, so return values need not be explained. The description covers both parameters and the dual retrieval capability. It lacks mention of error conditions or prerequisites, but is sufficient for a simple get operation.

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 description adds meaning to both parameters: `wiki_url` is identified as the URL, and `include_content` controls content retrieval. However, it does not specify URL format or default behavior beyond what the schema provides. With 0% schema description coverage, it compensates partially.

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 'retrieves', the resource 'wiki page metadata and/or content', and the method 'using its URL'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create/update/delete and other get tools by specifying the unique URL-based retrieval.

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 description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of when not to use it, prerequisites, or comparisons with sibling tools such as `devops_repository_item_content`.

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