Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the basic behavior (list, filter) but fails to mention that it is a read-only operation, does not describe pagination behavior (despite limit/offset parameters), and does not disclose any side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits. The word 'optionally' is vague and does not specify how filtering works.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently communicates the core purpose. It is appropriately sized for a simple tool, though it could include brief parameter descriptions without losing conciseness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the presence of an output schema, return values need not be explained. However, the description does not address pagination, the meaning of parameters, or differentiation from sibling tools. With 3 undocumented parameters and no usage guidance, the description is incomplete for effective agent invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the parameters. The description only indirectly references the 'query' parameter ('filtered by a search query') and completely omits 'limit' and 'offset'. The schema provides defaults but no explanation of their meaning or usage. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('list'), the resource ('Telegram Bot API methods'), and the optional filter ('by a search query'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_method' (singular) and 'search_bot_api' (broader search).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The usage context is implied through the description (listing methods optionally filtered), but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'search_bot_api' or 'list_types'. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.

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