Api pmbok generic collections list

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only the internal detail that serializer context is enriched with 'optimized data' — it does not say what the enriched payload contains, whether results are paginated, or what access constraints apply.

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?

It is a single sentence, so it is short, but that brevity is under-specification rather than conciseness; the one sentence conveys an implementation detail an agent cannot act on.

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 17-parameter read tool with no output schema and no parameter documentation, the description is grossly inadequate. Nothing an agent needs to construct a correct call — filter semantics, defaults, response shape — is present.

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?

17 parameters with 0% schema description coverage and the description is silent on all of them. Filters like folder, policies, documents, filtering_labels, max_pages, search, and ordering are completely undocumented, leaving an agent to guess at types, formats, and semantics.

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 is an internal implementation note ('Override the list method to inject optimized data into the serializer context') rather than a statement of what the tool does for a caller. It never says it lists PMBOK generic collections, what those are, or how it relates to the sibling create/retrieve/object_retrieve/status tools. Only the name hints at the resource.

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 at all on when to use this versus the many sibling list/retrieve tools (e.g. pmbok_generic_collections_retrieve, _object_retrieve, _cascade_info_retrieve). There are no exclusions, prerequisites, or alternative pointers.

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