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

Annotations already disclose read-only, idempotent, open-world, and non-destructive behavior, so the description does not need to repeat those. It adds value beyond the annotations by stating the HTTP method, category, and especially the required scope `migrations:read`, which is authentication context not present in the annotation fields. It does not describe the response body or warn that a sensitive credential is returned, but the safety profile is already well covered.

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 short and front-loaded, beginning with the one-sentence summary before compact metadata. HTTP method, path, category, scope, and the read-only flag are each directly relevant to selecting and invoking the tool, with no meaningful filler.

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, read-only endpoint, the description gives enough to invoke it: method, path, category, required scope, and safety profile. The main omissions are a hint about the response body, such as whether the actual password is returned, and explicit handling guidance for a sensitive secret; these are minor gaps given the tool's simplicity and strong annotations.

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 the empty input schema already tells the agent that no arguments are required. With 100% schema coverage and no parameters, the description has nothing meaningful to add, and the zero-parameter baseline is 4.

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 opens with a specific action and resource: 'List mysql root password', backed by the exact HTTP method and path. The 'Migrations' category and 'mysql-root-password' resource distinguish it clearly from sibling migration endpoints such as cloudflare credentials and site export, so an agent can identify it without guessing.

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 no guidance on when to choose this tool over sibling migration endpoints, and it names no alternative or exclusion condition. The stated required scope is a useful prerequisite, but the 'when to use vs. when not to use' information is left entirely to inference.

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