hires_list_webhooks

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'List' clearly indicates a read-only operation with no side effects, which is an important behavioral disclosure. However, it does not mention pagination, ordering, or the exact nature of return values, but for a simple list operation this is adequate.

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, concise sentence that front-loads the action ('List') and includes the essential scope. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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 simple list tool with one well-documented parameter and no output schema, the description is nearly complete. It clearly states the resource and scope, which is sufficient for the agent to select and invoke the tool correctly. It falls short only in not mentioning potential nuances like pagination or response details, but these are not critical for basic usage.

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 input schema already provides full coverage (100%) with the parameter 'id' described as 'Company ID.' The description adds no further meaning about the parameter, so it does not exceed the baseline provided by the schema.

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 the specific verb 'List' with the resource 'webhook subscriptions' and clearly specifies the scope as 'at company scope.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like hires_list_job_webhooks, which would be at the job level.

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 clearly conveys that this tool is for company-scoped webhooks, implying it should be used for company-level configuration rather than job-level. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or provide exclusion criteria, but the scope information gives sufficient context for when to use it.

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