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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful behavioral context beyond that: the exact response shape (id, destination URL, active flag) and the full enum of subscribable event types, plus the backing GraphQL query name.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the action and return fields. The long parenthetical event list is the bulkiest element but earns its place by telling the agent the exact value vocabulary it will see in results.

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-argument read tool with no output schema, the description carries the return-value burden well by naming the returned fields and event values. Only minor gaps remain (whether results are ever paginated, and whether the destination URL may be truncated/masked).

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 per the baseline there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. It correctly does not waste text inventing input semantics.

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 configured webhooks") and immediately enumerates the fields returned, so the agent knows exactly what it gets. No sibling tool lists webhooks, so differentiation is implicit but 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 implied by the name and the read-only listing framing, but there is no explicit guidance on when to call this versus other discovery tools or what prerequisites exist (e.g., account scope). No exclusions are offered, though none are obviously needed for a catalog tool.

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