acedatacloud_list_proxy_usage

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden, but it only adds the 'caller-owned' scope qualifier. It does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, whether special permissions are needed, or how pagination and filtering behave beyond the schema definitions.

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 with no filler or redundant wording. Every word contributes to the core purpose.

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?

The output schema and parameter descriptions cover the mechanics, and the description conveys the core purpose. However, the lack of annotations and the absence of guidance around related sibling tools leave the description somewhat under-contextualized for a 5-parameter list operation.

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 the schema already documents all five parameters. The tool description adds no parameter-specific meaning, which places this at the baseline for this dimension.

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' and identifies the resource as 'caller-owned proxy usage records,' clarifying both the action and ownership scope. It distinguishes from sibling tools like acedatacloud_get_proxy_usage and acedatacloud_list_usage through the proxy-specific and caller-owned qualifiers, though it does not explicitly name alternatives.

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 about when to use this tool versus closely related siblings such as acedatacloud_list_usage or acedatacloud_get_proxy_usage. The description simply states the operation and lacks any when-to-use or when-not-to-use context.

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