bookshelf_get_config_ui

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

The annotation readOnlyHint=true already indicates a safe read operation, but the description adds no further behavioral details (e.g., whether the result is paginated, what the response shape is, or any constraints). It does not contradict the annotation, but contributes no additional context.

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 short sentence, which is concise, but it is under-specified, leaving the reader to guess what 'config ui' means and what the tool actually returns. It is not overly verbose, but it does not earn its place by providing enough detail.

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 tool is simple with no parameters and an output schema is present, the description could be minimal, but 'List config ui' is too thin. It does not clarify the resource scope or how it differs from related config tools, making the context incomplete for effective tool selection.

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 zero parameters, the schema is fully covered (100%), and the baseline for 0 params is 4. The description does not need to explain parameters, and it does not add anything beyond the schema, but the empty schema means there is nothing to explain.

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 states a specific action ('List') on a resource ('config ui'), but to what this refers is vague and there is no distinction from sibling tools like bookshelf_get_config_ui_by_id. It is a full phrase but lacks clarity on what 'config ui' encompasses.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as bookshelf_get_config_ui_by_id or bookshelf_update_config_ui. It provides no context on prerequisites, exclusions, or preferred scenarios.

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