list_request_comments

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

It discloses the read-only nature, default values, pagination via start/limit, and boolean filters. No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden, which it handles adequately.

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 sentence for purpose plus a bullet-style argument list. Every sentence provides value; no fluff.

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?

Parameters are fully documented, pagination and filtering explained, and an output schema exists for return values, making this complete for a list tool.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds full meaning for all 5 parameters, including format, defaults, and behavior, far exceeding schema-only info.

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 verb 'list', the resource 'comments on a customer request', and the filtering capability by visibility, distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_request_comment or add_request_comment.

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 comments with filters but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like getting a single comment.

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