guides.get

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a full application guide by its slug. Returns sections, action items, and linked principles. Use when you have the slug from prior tools.

Instructions

Get a full application guide by its stable slug (e.g. 'security-application', 'observable-evaluation'). Returns sections, action items, and linked principles. Use this when you already have the guide slug from guides.list or guides.search. Prefer guides.search when the user describes a topic in natural language; prefer guides.list when you need the full inventory.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds 'Returns sections, action items, and linked principles,' which provides behavioral detail beyond annotations. No contradictions.

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?

Two sentences, no wasted words. The core action is front-loaded, followed by usage guidance. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Given the existence of an output schema (not shown but noted), the description covers all needed aspects: purpose, when to use, parameter guidance. No gaps for this simple getter tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100% (slug parameter well-described). The description adds examples and notes the slug is 'stable', adding meaningful context beyond the schema. Baseline 3 with added value.

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 clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'full application guide' with examples of stable slugs. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like guides.list and guides.search by specifying the input (slug) and context.

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?

Explicitly provides when to use this tool ('when you already have the guide slug') and when to prefer alternatives (guides.search for natural language, guides.list for full inventory). No ambiguity.

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