hedera_get_network_nodes

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

No annotations provided. Description only states basic purpose, omitting details like pagination, rate limits, or output format. Minimal transparency beyond the operation.

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?

Single, clear sentence with no extraneous words. Front-loaded with purpose. Efficient and to the point.

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 zero-parameter tool with no output schema, description hints at output (list of nodes and stake) but does not specify structure or potential limitations. Adequate but could be more complete.

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?

No parameters, so description adds no param info. Baseline 4 as schema coverage is 100% and no param details needed. The mention of 'from the Mirror Node' provides contextual source but is not parameter-related.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'List' and resource 'network's consensus nodes and stake' with source 'Mirror Node'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like hedera_get_network_stake which likely focuses on overall stake.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as hedera_get_network_stake or other network queries. Simple tool but lacks explicit usage context.

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