+]Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that only public requests are returned, which is real context, but says nothing about pagination behavior despite cursor/limit/since existing in the schema.
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 tight sentence with the resource and filters front-loaded and no filler. It is efficient, though efficiency here comes partly at the cost of the missing detail noted elsewhere.
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?
With six parameters, zero schema descriptions, and three pagination-related fields, the description is under-specified for an agent that must page through results. The output schema covers return values, but the calling semantics for limit/cursor/since remain a gap.
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 0%, so the description carries the full burden, yet it explains only kind and status. Four parameters (sort, limit, since, cursor) — including the entire pagination mechanism — are left undocumented in both schema and description.
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 public requests") plus the two filter axes, which is enough to distinguish it from get_request. It does not, however, differentiate itself from adjacent siblings like request_feature or get_source_request_status.
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?
"Optionally filtered by kind or status" hints at usage but never states when to choose this over get_request for a single item, or over the request_* mutation siblings. 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.
