agy_get_agents

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

The verb 'retrieve' implies a read-only operation, but the description does not disclose potential caveats such as exhaustiveness of the list, authentication requirements, or performance characteristics. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and only partially covers behavioral transparency.

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 a single, clear sentence that directly states the action and object with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the verb and immediately conveys the purpose.

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 zero-parameter list tool, the description adequately conveys what is returned (all subagents and specialized profiles) and the environment (Antigravity CLI). It does not describe the output structure, but given the tool's simplicity, this is not a critical gap.

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 has zero parameters, so there is nothing to explain. The schema is empty, making the 100% coverage trivial, and the baseline of 4 for no-parameter tools applies.

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 uses the specific verb 'retrieve' and clearly identifies the resource as 'the list of all available subagents and specialized profiles' in the Antigravity CLI. This makes the tool's function unambiguous and distinguishes it from siblings like agy_get_models.

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 offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention scenarios, prerequisites, or alternative tools to consider, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the name.

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