list_aoc_decisions

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

The description does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond listing. There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden. It fails to mention pagination, default ordering, or rate limits. The limit parameter implies pagination but is not explained.

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 very short at one sentence, which is concise but lacks necessary detail. It is front-loaded with the key action, but the brevity results in under-specification.

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 two parameters and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain how to use the parameters effectively, such as how filtering by status works or how limit affects results. The presence of an output schema does not absolve the description from explaining invocation behavior.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It hints that 'status' can be 'pending' or 'resolved', but does not enumerate all possible values or explain the 'limit' parameter. The meaning of the default status (empty string) is not clarified.

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 a specific verb 'List' and identifies the resource 'AutoCompany decisions' with a scope 'pending or resolved'. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'get_aoc_decision' which retrieves a single decision. However, it does not clarify what constitutes a decision or how it differs from other list tools.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions. Sibling tools like 'get_aoc_decision' suggest a one-directional choice, but the description offers no help in making that decision.

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