webhooks.get

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure but only indicates this is a read operation via the verb 'Get'. It fails to mention authentication requirements, rate limits, what constitutes a valid Ryft ID format, or what happens when the ID is not found.

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 extremely concise at six words with no wasted space, appropriately front-loaded with the action and resource. However, it verges on underspecification given the lack of annotations and output schema.

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?

For a simple single-parameter retrieval tool without output schema or annotations, the description provides the minimum viable context to invoke the tool. However, it lacks completeness regarding return value structure, error scenarios, and parameter details that would make it fully self-sufficient.

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 schema has 0% description coverage (the 'id' parameter is undocumented in the schema). The description mentions 'by id', establishing the parameter's purpose as the lookup key, but does not describe the ID's format, constraints, or provide examples to compensate for the schema gap.

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 provides a clear verb ('Get'), resource ('Ryft webhook'), and scope ('by id'), which effectively communicates the tool's purpose. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling 'webhooks.list' tool (which retrieves multiple webhooks) beyond the implicit singular verb form.

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 offers no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when you have a specific ID vs. when to scan with webhooks.list), nor does it mention prerequisites or error conditions such as 'webhook not found'.

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