explore_cookbooks_get_all

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

No annotations exist, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It only states 'Get All' and the HTTP method, implying a read operation. It does not mention pagination defaults, filtering capabilities, or any side effects, leaving the agent uninformed.

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 extremely brief (two lines), which might seem concise, but it lacks essential details for a 9-parameter tool. It front-loads 'Get All' but does not earn its place due to missing behavioral and parameter context.

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?

Given the tool has 9 parameters, no output schema, and no parameter descriptions, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain pagination, search, ordering, or the response format.

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%, but the description adds no meaning to any parameter. The URL path hints at 'group_slug' being a parameter, but no clarification is given for the other 8 parameters.

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 indicates the tool retrieves all cookbooks for a group, through the path '/api/explore/groups/{group_slug}/cookbooks'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'explore_categories_get_all' by specifying 'cookbooks'. However, it could be more explicit about the result (e.g., 'List all cookbooks in a group').

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no when-not-to-use advice.

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