List ProdPad User Stories

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds no behavioral context of its own — no pagination, result-size limits, or ordering — which is the main unknown for an account-wide list call.

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 lead sentence is front-loaded and short, but the Args block is pure duplication of the input schema with no added value, which dilutes the definition without costing much length.

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 three-optional-filter list tool with no output schema and full annotation coverage, this is minimally viable. It still omits pagination/result-cap behavior, which an agent needs to know before issuing an unfiltered account-wide list.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The Args block restates the schema descriptions verbatim, adding no new meaning such as expected ID formats, URL matching semantics, or whether filters are ANDed.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('List user stories') plus the scope ('across the account'), which distinguishes it from the get/create/update userstory siblings. It does not explicitly differentiate from prodpad_get_idea_userstories, but the account-wide scope is clear.

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 notes filters are optional but gives no when-to-use guidance, no conditions for choosing it over prodpad_get_idea_userstories or prodpad_search, and no exclusions. The agent must infer the routing itself.

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