List all space comment replies

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint as true, indicating a safe, non-destructive, and possibly incomplete result set. The description adds no additional behavioral details (e.g., pagination behavior, sorting, rate limits). It merely restates the action without enriching beyond the annotations.

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 very short: one sentence plus the endpoint. It is front-loaded with the core purpose. While concise, it could include more context without becoming verbose. No wasted words.

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 list tool with good annotations and full schema coverage, the description is adequate. However, there is no output schema, and the description does not clarify the return structure (e.g., array of reply objects). Given the low complexity, it meets minimal requirements but lacks helpful details about the response.

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 coverage is 100%, so parameters are fully documented in the schema. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the parameter names. The 'body' parameter is mentioned as optional query parameters, but no further context is given. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 clearly states the action: 'List all space comment replies.' It includes the HTTP endpoint, which reinforces the purpose. The verb 'list' and resource 'space comment replies' is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_comment_reply_in_space (singular) and list_comment_replies_in_change_request.

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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when to prefer listing all replies versus getting a single reply, or when to use the change_request variant. The context of usage is entirely implicit.

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