get_notifiers

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 'Get all notifiers', which is a read operation. Lacks disclosure of potential side effects or permissions needed, but as a getter, it's likely safe. Minimal transparency.

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?

Extremely concise with no wasted words. The single sentence is front-loaded and clear. Ideal for a simple 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?

Given no parameters and presence of an output schema, the description is mostly complete. It could briefly explain what a 'notifier' is, but sibling tools and context suggest a common domain. Adequate for a straightforward list operation.

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?

There are no parameters (100% schema coverage). The description adds no parameter information beyond the empty schema. According to guidelines, with high schema coverage, baseline is 3. No additional value from description.

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 'Get all notifiers', specifying the verb (Get) and resource (notifiers). It effectively distinguishes from the sibling 'get_notifier' (singular), which implies getting a specific notifier.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The sibling list includes 'get_notifier' and many other get tools, but the description does not mention when to use this over others. Usage is implicitly clear for a simple list operation.

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