dynadot_server_list

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

No annotations are present, so the description bears full burden. It only indicates a read operation ('List') but omits details about required permissions, rate limits, data freshness, or response structure. The pagination mention hints at behavior but does not disclose handling of large result sets.

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 a single front-loaded sentence, but it is overly brief given the lack of schema descriptions and output schema. While concise, it sacrifices clarity on parameters and behavior.

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?

With no output schema, the description should describe return format (e.g., list of nameserver objects, pagination metadata). It does not, leaving the agent guessing about the response structure. The tool is simple but the description is incomplete.

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 0%, and the description does not explain the two parameters (pageIndex, countPerPage). It only mentions 'paginated', which implies their usage but does not clarify valid ranges, defaults, or behavior when omitted.

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 explicitly states the tool lists all nameservers in the account with pagination. The verb 'List' and resource 'nameservers' are clear, and the scope 'in the account' distinguishes it from sibling tools like dynadot_get_ns (which likely gets nameservers for a specific domain) and other mutation operations.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like dynadot_get_ns or other listing tools. There is no mention of prerequisites, pagination behavior, or comparison with sibling tools.

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