List all meta links for a revision page

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, so the description need not repeat these. However, it adds no additional behavioral context, such as whether results are paginated or what the return format looks like. The description does not contradict 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 a single sentence plus the URL, with no unnecessary words or repetition. It efficiently conveys the core functionality.

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 lack of an output schema and the existence of sibling tools, the description should provide more context about return values (e.g., structure of meta links) and usage notes. It does not do so, leaving the agent with gaps in understanding what the tool returns or how to use it effectively.

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% coverage but each parameter description is minimal ('Path parameter: ...'). The tool description does not add any semantic meaning to the parameters beyond their names, which are self-explanatory but could be clarified (e.g., that spaceId refers to a GitBook space). The description fails to compensate for the schema's lack of detail.

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) and the resource (meta links for a revision page), making the purpose unambiguous. The title reinforces this, and the name differentiates it from sibling tools like gitbook_list_space_page_meta_links. However, it lacks any elaboration on what meta links are or how they differ from other link types.

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. For example, it does not explain when to use this over gitbook_list_space_page_meta_links or gitbook_list_change_request_page_meta_links, leaving the agent to infer based on context alone.

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