list_functional_objectives

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

With no annotations provided, the description bears full responsibility for disclosing behavioral traits. It does not mention whether the operation is read-only, destructive, or requires specific permissions. The description is too minimal to convey any behavioral context.

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 at one sentence, which is positive for brevity, but it sacrifices essential information. It earns a middle score because the structure is front-loaded but incomplete.

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?

The tool has two required parameters, no schema descriptions, and no annotations. An output schema exists, but the description offers no context about it. The minimal description does not sufficiently cover the tool's semantics or usage, leaving significant gaps for an agent.

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 provides zero information about the two required parameters ('model_id' and 'server_version'). Given 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but fails entirely, making it impossible for an agent to understand how to use these parameters correctly.

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 states the verb 'List' and the resource 'functional objectives' with a clarifying parenthetical. However, it does not differentiate from similar sibling tools like 'list_capabilities' or 'get_functional_objective', leaving ambiguity about exactly what this tool returns differently.

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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_functional_objective' for a single objective or other list tools, nor does it mention any prerequisites or context.

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