B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds that the output covers configuration fields and notification URLs, which is useful scope context. However it does not say whether the fields are returned per integration type or as one flat list, nor anything about freshness or caching.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

One short sentence with no filler and the subject (available configuration fields) front-loaded. It is written in French while all sibling names and titles are English, which slightly hurts scanability but not length.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a zero-parameter introspection tool with no output schema, the description must carry the burden of explaining what the returned structure looks like and how it feeds configure_connection. It names the two content categories but not their shape or the downstream workflow, so it is adequate rather than complete.

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 takes zero parameters, so the schema has nothing to document and no compensation is required. The description correctly implies the result is scoped internally to 'each integration'.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description says it exposes the fields available to configure each integration plus the URL of its notifications, which is a resource-plus-attribute statement rather than a specific verb. It never says it describes/returns a schema, and it does not distinguish itself from the adjacent list_connections or configure_connection tools. An agent can guess the domain but not precisely what it gets back.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no when-to-use guidance at all: nothing says to call this before configure_connection, or how it differs from list_connections. The only implicit hint is that it is about configuration fields, leaving the agent to infer the call sequence from the name alone.

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