list_case_filesList all documents attached to a case: file name, document type, description, upload date, and a time-limited SAS download URL. Each file also carries downloadUrlExpiresAt (UTC) — when the download URL stops working, so a cached URL can be refreshed in time. Use upload_case_file to attach new documents.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint. The description adds behavioral details like time-limited SAS URLs and downloadUrlExpiresAt for cache refresh, which adds value beyond annotations.
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 sentences, efficient and front-loaded. Includes purpose, key details, and sibling reference without redundant text.
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?
Given the simple tool (1 param, clear annotations, no output schema), the description covers return fields, caching behavior, and attachment option, making it complete for an agent.
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% (caseId already well-described). Tool description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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?
Clearly states 'List all documents attached to a case' with specific fields, and distinguishes from sibling 'upload_case_file' by referencing it explicitly.
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?
Provides clear context for usage and mentions alternative tool (upload_case_file), but does not explicitly state when not to use or exclude other siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool targets a clearly distinct resource and action: case vs. tasks vs. files vs. messages vs. payments vs. account summary. The get_case_* family is broken out by specific sub-resource (activity, contract status, messages, payments, tasks), and preview_case is explicitly distinguished from create_case. list_tasks vs. get_case_tasks are scoped differently and the descriptions call out the difference.
All tool names follow a consistent lowercase verb_noun pattern: create_, get_, list_, send_, upload_, preview_, ping. Even the standalone 'ping' is a common health-check convention and does not break the pattern. No camelCase or mixed verb styles appear.
At 16 tools, the server is slightly above the typical 3-15 well-scoped range, but the breadth of the domain (case lifecycle, tasks, files, messages, payments, team management) justifies each tool. The count feels reasonable rather than bloated, earning a 4 rather than a 5.
The core workflow is well covered: preview, create, monitor (list/get, activity, payments, messages, contract status, files, tasks), communicate, and attach files. Missing operations like update_case, delete_case, or explicit task resolution are gaps, but they are often not needed in this domain since tasks auto-resolve and the partner drives legal processes. Overall, the surface is complete enough for typical agent workflows.
