dataNoOne row per custom domain — id, domain, verification status, and the DNS records (type, name, value) the user has to add at their registrar.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safe read-only nature is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context by noting the list is account-scoped and includes DNS verification records, but it does not address other behavioral aspects such as pagination, result limits, or authentication requirements. This is adequate but not rich.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It states the action, scope, and an important output detail in under fifteen words, and every element earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter read-only list tool with annotations covering safety and an output schema covering return structure, the description is complete. It identifies the resource, scope, and a notable output inclusion (DNS verification records), leaving no critical gap for an agent to call it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters, so the 100% schema coverage is trivially complete and there is no parameter meaning for the description to add. The 0-parameter baseline of 4 applies, and the description further clarifies the result scope by mentioning 'registered on the account'. No parameter documentation burden exists.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb ('List') with a clear resource ('custom domains') and adds useful scope ('registered on the account') plus a distinguishing detail ('including DNS verification records'). This separates it from sibling tools like add_domain, remove_domain, and list_email_domains without needing to inspect schemas.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage: call this when you need the account's custom domains and their DNS verification records. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools such as list_email_domains or verify_email_domain, nor does it state when not to use it, leaving some selection inference to the agent.

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