reddit_domain_posts

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It mentions 'normalized public posts' but omits behavioral details such as pagination (after token usage), default/clamped limit (25/100), or sort/time parameter effects. Adequate but lacks depth.

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?

Two concise sentences with no wasted words. Critical information is front-loaded ('List Reddit domain posts'), followed by a clarifying detail. Optimal length for quick comprehension.

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 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is minimally complete. It covers the action and basic scope but lacks details on pagination, return format, or parameter interactions. Could be enhanced with output structure or pagination hints.

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%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional semantic meaning beyond the schema: it does not explain the 'after' token's role in pagination, domain format requirements, or sort/time behavior.

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 action ('List'), resource ('Reddit domain posts'), and scope ('normalized public posts submitted from a linked domain'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like reddit_post and reddit_subreddit_posts by focusing on domain-linked posts.

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 implies usage for listing posts from a linked domain but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like reddit_search or reddit_subreddit_posts. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.

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