describe-batch-tables

Retrieve detailed schema information for multiple Firebird database tables concurrently, improving performance compared to sequential requests.

Instructions

Gets the detailed schema of multiple tables in parallel for improved performance.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
tableNamesYesArray of table names to describe
maxConcurrentNoMaximum number of concurrent operations (default: 5)
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description must carry the burden. It mentions parallel execution but omits side effects, error handling, permissions, or that it is read-only. Insufficient disclosure for a batch operation.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Single sentence efficiently conveys purpose and key differentiator. Front-loaded with verb and object, no extraneous content.

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?

Missing essential details like return format or error behavior, especially since no output schema exists. The description does not fully inform an AI agent about what to expect.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. Description adds no deeper meaning beyond what schema provides, achieving baseline for high coverage.

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?

Description clearly states 'Gets the detailed schema of multiple tables in parallel for improved performance', specifying verb, resource, and the parallel aspect that distinguishes it from the sibling tool 'describe-table'.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Implies usage for multiple tables when performance is key via 'for improved performance', but does not explicitly state when not to use or directly name alternative 'describe-table' for single tables.

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