Api task templates per status retrieve

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing about behaviour beyond a misleading mention of CSV/XLSX exporting, and says nothing about what the per-status grouping returns or how it aggregates.

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 short, but brevity only counts if the sentence earns its place. Here the single sentence is boilerplate that does not describe the tool, so the structure is efficient but content-free.

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 an aggregate/grouping retrieval endpoint with no output schema and no parameters, the description is the only source of information about what comes back, and it supplies none of it. An agent cannot form a correct expectation of the response.

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 tool takes 0 parameters and schema coverage is 100%, so per the baseline this would be a 4. However, the description implies export-format semantics (CSV/XLSX) that have no corresponding parameter, which is misleading rather than additive, so it is docked one point.

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 reads 'Generic export mixin for CSV/XLSX exports', which is an internal code docstring, not a description of what this endpoint does. The tool name says it retrieves task templates grouped per status, and separate siblings (task_templates_export_csv_retrieve, task_templates_export_xlsx_retrieve) already own export behaviour, so the description actively misdirects.

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 indication of when to call this vs the many sibling task_templates endpoints (retrieve, list, status_retrieve, per_status_retrieve, export_csv/xlsx). An agent has no basis to choose this tool over the alternatives.

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