Vorim AI — Agent Identity & Trust

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool lists delegations with optional filtering, but doesn't describe key behavioral traits such as whether it's read-only, what the output format looks like (e.g., list structure, pagination), or any rate limits or authentication requirements. This leaves significant gaps for a tool that likely involves sensitive credential data.

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 extremely concise and front-loaded, consisting of just two sentences that directly state the purpose and usage. Every word earns its place, with no redundant information, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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 complexity of credential delegations and the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what a 'credential delegation' entails in this context, how results are returned, or any behavioral nuances. For a tool in a security-sensitive domain with no structured support, more detail is needed to ensure safe and correct usage.

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 description adds minimal value beyond the input schema, which has 100% coverage for the single parameter 'agent_id'. It mentions the optional filter by agent_id, but doesn't provide additional context like format examples or edge cases. With high schema coverage, the baseline is 3, as the schema already documents the parameter adequately.

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 the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('List') and resource ('credential delegations'), making it immediately understandable. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'vorim_list_agents' or 'vorim_list_permissions' by focusing on delegations. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with all siblings, such as 'vorim_export_audit' which might also involve delegation data.

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 provides clear context for usage by mentioning the optional filter parameter ('Optionally filter by agent_id'), which helps the agent understand when to apply this tool. It implies usage for viewing delegations, but lacks explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives like 'vorim_list_agents' or 'vorim_export_audit', and doesn't specify prerequisites or exclusions.

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