node_plugin_get_all_configs

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only implies read-only via the 'Get' verb, and says nothing about pagination, filtering, result volume, or whether it returns configs versus plugin records.

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?

It is short and front-loaded, but the raw HTTP path and 'Tags: Node Plugins Controller' line are structured-metadata noise that adds no value to an agent deciding how to call the tool.

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 endpoint with no output schema and no annotations, the description leaves the agent without return-shape or scoping information. It is not complete enough to call confidently beyond guessing from the name.

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 has zero parameters, so the baseline of 4 applies. There is nothing for the description to compensate for.

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 states a clear verb+resource ('Get all Node Plugins'), which is better than a tautology. However, it doesn't differentiate from close siblings like node_plugin_get_config_by_uuid or node_plugin_get_all_shared_lists, and the tool name ('get_all_configs') vs. the stated resource ('Node Plugins') is not reconciled.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives. The agent must infer from the name alone that this is the list-everything variant.

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