get_doc

Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch the FULL text of one indexed Canton-ecosystem documentation page (Canton/Daml/Splice and integrated partner docs) by its numeric id. Canton-specific. Use this AFTER search or semantic_search returns a doc id, to read complete commands, flags, and full sections a search snippet truncates. Requires an id. Not a discovery tool; use search/semantic_search first.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesDoc page ID from a search/semantic_search result, e.g. 3242 or "doc:3242". Not a forum topic id: those go to get_discussion.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it returns the FULL text (vs. truncated snippets), requires an id, and is Canton-specific. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the primary purpose, followed by workflow and exclusions. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words or repetition of schema details.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a single-parameter read-only tool with rich annotations and full schema coverage, the description covers purpose, usage order, exclusions, and scope. No output schema exists, but the return value is adequately implied ('full text'). Complete for its complexity.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the schema description already details the id format, examples, and exclusion of forum topic IDs. The tool description adds only 'Requires an id' and 'numeric id', which is redundant and slightly inconsistent with the schema's allowance for a string variant like 'doc:3242'. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 opens with a specific verb ('Fetch') and resource ('FULL text of one indexed Canton-ecosystem documentation page') plus a clear method ('by its numeric id'). It also explicitly differentiates from siblings by stating it is not a discovery tool and distinguishing from get_discussion for forum topic IDs.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Provides explicit when-to-use guidance ('AFTER search or semantic_search returns a doc id') and when-not-to-use guidance ('Not a discovery tool; use search/semantic_search first'). Also names the alternative get_discussion for forum IDs, making the usage context unambiguous.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Many tools have overlapping search/retrieval functionality (search, semantic_search, full_context, search_community, search_github_issues, etc.), and the CIP-specific variants (get_cip, get_cip_history, get_cip_votes, get_cip_mentions, get_cip_citations) are numerous and subtly differentiated. Despite cross-references in the descriptions, the boundaries are fine-grained and an agent is likely to misselect among the 8+ search tools or the 8+ CIP tools.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (get_x, list_x, search_x, find_x). Mixed styles or camelCase are absent, and the verb choice (get, list, search, find, detect, compare) is semantically appropriate to each action, making the naming highly predictable.

Tool Count1/5

With 88 tools, the surface is extremely overgrown for a single server, far exceeding the 25+ 'too many' threshold and approaching the 50+ 'extreme mismatch' category. Even for a comprehensive ecosystem knowledge base, this creates a massive selection burden and makes the tool set unwieldy for agents.

Completeness5/5

The server covers the full Canton ecosystem: docs, forum, mailing lists, GitHub, CIPs, governance, validators, versions, deprecations, security, and media. There are no glaring gaps in the knowledge domain; every major resource type has retrieval and analysis tools, making the coverage exhaustive with no obvious dead ends.
