retrieve_user_list

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds essentially nothing beyond that: it does not mention pagination behavior (despite page/size params), result ordering defaults, rate limits, or result size limits.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the verb and resource, with the endpoint annotation providing a useful mapping. Very little waste, though the bracketed endpoint duplicates information an agent rarely needs to act.

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?

Not applicable — description is fine for a straightforward list tool, though it omits pagination defaults and result ordering behavior that an agent calling a nine-parameter list endpoint would benefit from knowing. With a 100%-covered schema and full annotations, this is a minor gap.

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% across all nine parameters, including the filter semantics for email, owner, default, enabled, search, and orderBy syntax. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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 users', 'List and filter all your users') and maps it to the underlying endpoint GET /v1/users. It is clearly a collection-listing tool, distinguishable from single-resource siblings like retrieve_user, though it never names those siblings explicitly.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this versus alternatives such as retrieve_user, list_user_accounts, or retrieve_user_client. A reader can infer it is for listing, but no conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions are stated.

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