v1.0.4Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears the full burden. The word "List" and "saved" imply a non-mutating read of persisted state scoped to the active project, which is useful context, but it says nothing about ordering, result size, or whether an unselected project causes an error.
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?
A single short sentence with the scope qualifier front-loaded at the end of the phrase; no filler. Slightly under-specified rather than verbose, but structurally sound.
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?
There is no output schema and no annotations, so the description is the only source of truth about this tool. For a simple zero-param list it is adequate to identify the call, but it leaves the return shape and the dependency on an active project unstated.
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 tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline 4 applies. The description correctly implies no filtering inputs are accepted.
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?
Specific verb ("List") plus resource ("saved test suites") and a clear scope qualifier ("under the active project"). It distinguishes itself from suite_save/suite_load/suite_delete by naming the read/list action, though it does not explicitly reference those siblings.
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?
Usage is implied by "List all saved test suites under the active project" — an agent can infer this is the inventory call before suite_load or suite_delete. However, there is no explicit statement of when to use this versus suite_load, nor any prerequisite such as needing a project selected first.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
