get_profile_school_interests

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It reveals pagination ('up to 50 results per page'), which is valuable. However, it omits whether the operation is read-only, requires authentication, or what happens if no interests exist. The description adds some transparency but could be richer.

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 concise sentence that immediately conveys the tool's purpose and key constraint (50 results per page). No unnecessary words, front-loaded effectively.

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 partially fills the gap by stating the result limit, but lacks details on output structure, pagination mechanism, or implicit profile context. An agent may need more information to use the tool confidently.

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 no parameters, so coverage is 100%. The description adds meaning by indicating the result count and pagination behavior, which goes beyond the schema. It compensates for the lack of param detail with useful functional context.

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 clearly states the tool retrieves 'profile's school interests' with a specific resource and action. The mention of 'up to 50 results per page' distinguishes it from other similar tools by indicating pagination behavior, and it is unambiguous among sibling tools like get_profile_company_interest.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_profile_group_interests or other interest tools. It does not specify prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name alone.

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