samsara_list_webhooks

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states a read operation ('list'), but does not disclose potential limitations (e.g., pagination, rate limits, whether it returns both created and system webhooks). A simple list operation with no params is straightforward, but the description adds no safety or behavioral context beyond the implicit read.

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 one short sentence, which is concise for a simple tool. It front-loads the purpose. However, it could be slightly improved by adding 'for the organization' or 'all' is already included.

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 zero parameters and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It tells the agent what the tool does but does not explain the return format (e.g., list of IDs, URLs) or any relationships to other tools (e.g., using webhook IDs for deletion). For a simple list tool, this is acceptable but not exhaustive.

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% (no parameters), so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by confirming the operation lists 'all configured webhooks', which implies no filtering. This clarity is helpful since there are no parameters to explain.

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 'List all configured webhooks' clearly states the verb (list) and resource (webhooks). It is distinct from siblings like samsara_create_webhook and samsara_delete_webhook, which do different operations. It could be improved by specifying the scope (e.g., 'for the current organization') but is clear enough.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like samsara_list_webhooks (no sibling with similar purpose, but no mention of prerequisites or context). For example, it does not indicate if this lists webhooks from all sources or just user-created ones, or if authentication is required.

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