Retrieve a list of all antenna designs currently defined in the NEC2 simulation session.
List all antenna designs in the current session.
This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

v0.2.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only states functionality without revealing traits like return format, side effects, or whether it is read-only.
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?
Single short sentence that is concise and provides the key information. Could be considered slightly under-structured but adequate.
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?
No output schema or annotations; description lacks details on what 'antenna designs' means or what the output includes. Agent may not know how to interpret the list.
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?
No parameters exist; schema coverage is 100%. Description does not need to add parameter meaning. Baseline for 0 params 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?
Description clearly states 'List all antenna designs in the current session', specifying the action (list) and resource (antenna designs). Distinguishes from sibling creation tools and nec2_list_antenna_types.
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?
Implies use when a list of current session antenna designs is needed, but does not provide explicit when-not or alternative guidance, such as differentiating from nec2_list_antenna_types.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
