Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the organization-scoping behavior, which is useful multi-tenancy context, but says nothing about result ordering, pagination mechanics, or volume limits beyond the word 'pagination'.
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?
Two short sentences, front-loaded with the resource and scope, with zero filler or redundant restatement of the title.
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 two-parameter read tool with annotations covering safety, the description is adequate but thin. With no output schema present, an agent gets no signal about the returned post shape or pagination continuation behavior, which the description could have supplied.
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 100%, so both parameters (limit with max/default, status enum) are fully documented in the schema. The description only restates that status filtering and pagination exist, adding no syntax or default detail beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is correct.
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?
States a specific verb and resource ('List posts') plus the scope constraint ('for the current organization'), which distinguishes it from get-post's single-item retrieval. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from the other listing tool (list-brands), but the resource is unambiguous.
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?
'Supports filtering by status and pagination' hints at how to narrow results, and the resource scope implies the use case. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to use this versus get-post or a search-style sibling, and no stated prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
