Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=false, so safety and repeatability are covered structurally. The description adds only the scoping fact that results are limited to the current community, with no word on pagination, ordering, or result size.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler, which is the right shape for a no-argument list tool. It is arguably too terse to be maximally useful, but there is no wasted 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?
For a zero-param read tool with annotations carrying the safety profile and no output schema, the essentials are present. However, an agent is left guessing about result volume, pagination, and whether archived or inactive webhooks are included, which matters for a listing operation.
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?
The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description cannot and need not document parameter syntax, and nothing in it misrepresents the empty schema.
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 (List) and resource (webhook endpoints) and scopes it to 'this community's', so the agent knows exactly what is returned. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from adjacent siblings like list_webhook_deliveries or get_webhook, but the verb+resource pairing 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?
Usage is only implied: an agent can infer this is the enumeration tool for webhooks. There is no statement of when to prefer it over get_webhook (single fetch) or list_webhook_deliveries (delivery history), and no exclusions or prerequisites are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
