get-organization-devices-statuses-overview

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

Only discloses 'read-only' behavior. Does not explain that the overview aggregates counts, or that the 'fields' parameter restricts to counts only. No annotations provided to compensate.

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?

Extremely brief single sentence, but under-specified. Lacks important details that could be added concisely, such as what the overview includes.

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?

Incomplete for a tool with 4 parameters and many siblings. Does not explain the nature of the overview, filtering effects, or expected output format. No output schema.

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 covers 100% of parameter descriptions, so baseline is 3. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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?

Clearly states it returns an overview of current device statuses, but does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'get-organization-devices-statuses' which likely returns detailed statuses.

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 like 'get-organization-devices-statuses' or 'get-organization-devices'. Missing context for selection.

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