le_get_db_rows

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

The description mentions 'Read rows' implying a read-only operation, which is positive, but it lacks detail on limitations like pagination, ordering, or whether the default limit of 50 is a maximum. With no annotations, this minimal disclosure is insufficient.

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, concise sentence with no redundant information. It efficiently conveys the core purpose and a key default, but could benefit from structural elements like bullet points for clarity.

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 tool's simplicity (2 parameters, no output schema, no annotations) and the complexity of sibling tools, the description is too sparse. It fails to specify that the tool returns multiple rows, how to control pagination, or any sorting behavior, leaving significant gaps for an agent.

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%, so the description must compensate. It mentions a default of 50 for the limit parameter, which adds value, but provides no information about the required 'table' parameter or its expected format. Overall, it marginally improves parameter understanding.

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 'Read rows from a database table', which specifies a verb and resource. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like le_get_db_fields or le_get_db_tables, missing an opportunity to clarify scope.

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 such as le_get_db_fields for specific columns or le_search_players for filtered queries. The description offers no usage context or exclusions.

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