github_apps_list_accounts_for_plan

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

No annotations are provided, so the description should disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention that the operation is read-only, whether authentication is required, rate limits, or that results are paginated (though pagination parameters exist in schema). The description lacks transparency beyond the schema.

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 extremely short and to the point, but it lacks structure (no paragraphs, bullet points, or emphasis). While concise, it could be more informative without being verbose.

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 the absence of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not indicate what the response looks like (list of accounts), that pagination is available, or how this tool relates to the stubbed variant. The description is minimal and leaves out important context.

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 has 100% description coverage for all parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides. It does not explain the relationship between parameters or provide usage tips.

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 'List accounts for a plan' clearly states the verb (list) and resource (accounts for a plan). However, it does not distinguish from the sibling tool 'github_apps_list_accounts_for_plan_stubbed', missing an opportunity for differentiation.

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 the stubbed version. There is no mention of prerequisites, such as requiring a valid plan_id, or context about the scope (e.g., marketplace plans, GitHub Apps).

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