+]Output schema / titleRemoved value: -"get_pr_contentOutput"v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description doesn't need to repeat that. The description adds no extra behavioral details (e.g., output includes title, body, status) beyond the annotation safety profile.
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 sentence and front-loads the purpose, but it is too brief for a tool with 3 parameters and no schema descriptions. It could be expanded with parameter guidance without losing conciseness.
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?
With an output schema present, the description doesn't need to detail return values, but it fails to define what 'content/details' includes in relation to siblings. Combined with no parameter help, the completeness is poor.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description offers no explanation of the three required parameters (repo_owner, repo_name, pr_number). The user receives no hints on what values to provide, which is a critical 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 clearly states the verb 'fetches' and the resource 'content/details of a specific pull request'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_pr_diff' which fetches only diffs, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from 'get_pr_linked_issues'.
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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_pr_diff' or 'get_pr_linked_issues'. No when-not-to-use or context for selection is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
