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

Annotations already establish readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the underlying endpoint (GET /user) and notes that company and status are included in results, but says nothing about pagination defaults, result caps, or the volume of data returned — relevant given the 2000-per-page limit.

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 compact clauses, front-loaded with the resource and its scope, followed by the API endpoint. Nothing is redundant, though the parenthetical list is slightly dense.

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 read-only listing tool with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description is minimally sufficient. It would be stronger if it mentioned that results are paginated and capped at 2000 per page, since that affects how an agent should call it.

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 seven parameters (name, page, limit, isTech, search, status, companyId) are already documented. The description adds no filter semantics of its own, making baseline 3 the correct landing point.

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 users) and enumerates the user categories covered (technicians, sales staff, office staff, customer contacts), which is more than the name alone conveys. It is clearly distinct from the get_* siblings, though it never explicitly contrasts with servicetrade_get_company or servicetrade_list_companies.

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 way to enumerate users, but nothing says when to use it instead of, say, pulling users via a parent company record. No prerequisites or exclusions are given.

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