get_albums

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

No annotations provided. Description mentions ordered result and failure capture, but does not disclose read-only nature, authentication needs, or rate limits.

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?

Single sentence that is front-loaded with purpose and efficiently conveys key behaviors (ordered results, failure handling). No unnecessary words.

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?

With output schema present, return value explanation is not needed. Lacks details on pagination or input size limits, but sufficient for a straightforward list fetch 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?

0% schema description coverage. 'Many albums at once' implies 'values' parameter is list of identifiers, but does not specify what values represent (e.g., album IDs) or format requirements.

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?

Description clearly states the action 'Fetch many albums at once' with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling 'get_album' by indicating batch processing.

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?

Implies use for multiple albums via 'many at once', but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives. Siblings include single-fetch tools, so context helps.

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