uipath_get_schedules

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It clearly implies a read-only operation ('Get', 'Shows'), but does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as pagination details, authentication requirements, or response format specifics.

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 two short sentences with no redundant content. It front-loads the core purpose and then adds valuable details about what is shown, making it highly concise.

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?

For a simple read/list tool, the description is reasonably complete. It states what information is returned (cron expressions, next execution times), complements the schema, and requires no complex behavioral explanation. A small gap is the lack of explicit mention of list/pagination behavior, but the schema covers skip/limit.

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 covers all four parameters with descriptions, so schema coverage is 100%. The tool description does not add any additional parameter-level meaning beyond the general purpose, so it meets the baseline of 3.

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 uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('process schedules/triggers from UiPath Orchestrator'), making its purpose immediately clear. It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools that deal with queue items, jobs, releases, etc.

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 clear context that this tool is for viewing automation schedule information, including cron expressions and next run times. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or list exclusions.

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