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 safety behavior is covered. The description adds that returned comments include their website and article summary, but does not mention pagination behavior, ordering, or rate limits; with annotations present, this is an adequate but not rich disclosure.

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?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence. Every clause either names the resource, describes returned summary fields, or maps to specific filter parameters, with no redundant sentences or filler.

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 list tool with no output schema, the description usefully says each comment carries its website and article summary, and it explains the filter set. It still leaves out pagination semantics and any ordering or total-count behavior, which are relevant for an 8-parameter listing tool.

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 must carry parameter meaning. It documents the four filter dimensions (website id/uuid, article id/uuid, comment type, and text substring), including the paired id/uuid alternatives and a type example, but it completely omits page and per_page, which are present in the schema and affect pagination.

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?

The description uses a specific verb and resource ('List article comments') and clarifies that each comment includes website and article summary data. It is clear what the tool returns, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with nearby list tools such as list_comments_inbox or list_post_comments.

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 description indicates that comments can optionally be filtered by website, article, type, or text substring, which implies when the tool is useful. However, it gives no guidance on when to choose this over sibling tools like list_comments_inbox or list_post_comments, and no exclusions or prerequisites are stated.

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