list_app_store_version_localizations

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden. It only describes what the tool lists without disclosing behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, or side effects. As a read-only listing operation, the lack of explicit safety cues is a minor gap.

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, well-structured sentence that front-loads the verb and resource and includes specific examples of the data returned. Every word is informative, with no redundancy.

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 absence of an output schema, the description provides a useful list of fields but does not clarify the response format (e.g., an array of objects) or pagination behavior. It adequately covers the core functionality but lacks full completeness for an agent needing to parse results.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds context by listing the fields included in the localizations, but it does not elaborate on parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides. The 'limit' and 'version_id' parameters are adequately described in the schema.

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 lists per-locale localizations for an App Store version, specifying the verb 'list' and the resource 'app store version localizations'. It also enumerates the included fields (description, keywords, what's new, etc.), making the purpose distinct from sibling tools like 'get_app_store_version_localization'.

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 implicitly conveys usage context by requiring a 'version_id' from 'list_app_store_versions' (as noted in the schema), but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_app_store_version_localization' for a single localization. No exclusion criteria or examples are provided.

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