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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered elsewhere. The description adds tenant scoping and notes pagination support, but does not explain pagination semantics (e.g., that page_token comes from next_page_token in the response) or result ordering.

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, no filler, with the core action and scope front-loaded before the optional capabilities. Every clause earns its place.

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 an output schema present and all parameters documented, the agent needs little more; the tenant scope and pagination note round out what the annotations and schema don't say. Only minor behavioral detail like pagination flow is missing.

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%, so all three parameters are documented in the schema itself; the description merely echoes the slug prefix filter and pagination. Baseline 3 applies since it adds no meaning beyond the structured fields.

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 the workflows') plus its scope ('belonging to the authenticated tenant'), which lets an agent separate it from get_workflow or mutating siblings like patch_workflow. It stops short of naming the alternative tools that handle single-workflow retrieval, so it is clear but not sibling-differentiated.

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?

The tenant scoping implies when this tool applies, and the mention of a slug prefix filter hints at a narrowing use case, but there is no explicit guidance such as 'use get_workflow for a single workflow' or when to prefer filtering over fetching all.

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