Single tool with minimal definition quality. Tool name 'get_topic' follows verb_noun convention (+), but description is extremely terse (12 chars, well below 20-char minimum). Input schema present but parameter description is generic. No output schema documented. No error handling guidance. No pagination support despite fetching external API data. Tool returns raw API response text rather than structured output.
Get topic by id
Description too short (12 chars). Current: 'Get topic by id' provides no context for when/why to use this tool, no mention of what data is returned, no prerequisites.
No output schema documented. LLM cannot predict response structure. Tool returns raw response.text (unstructured string) instead of parsed JSON with typed fields. Baseline: 100% of A+ tools document return types.
Parameter description is generic ('The topic identifier'). Does not specify format, constraints, or examples. Should state: expected format (UUID? numeric? slug?), valid range, and how to discover valid IDs.
Error handling returns raw HTTP status codes without recovery guidance. 'Error fetching topic 123: 404' tells LLM nothing. Should return: 'Topic not found. Try search_topics() or list_available_topics() to discover valid IDs.'

No pagination or result limits. Tool fetches external API but returns entire response. If topic data is large, wastes tokens. Should document expected response size and cap if needed.
