bookshelf_list_release

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, so safety is already covered. The description adds no behavioral context beyond the query params, such as pagination, return array shape, or optionality. No contradictions with annotations.

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 with minimal fluff, earning a high conciseness score. It could be considered under-specified, but it is not verbose and stays on topic.

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?

With an output schema present, return values need not be explained, but the description omits whether the query params are optional, what a 'release' is, and how this tool differs from related list/search tools. It is incomplete for aiding correct selection and invocation.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It lists 'bookId, authorId' as query params but provides no meaning or usage detail; moreover, it uses camelCase while the schema uses snake_case (book_id, author_id), which could mislead.

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 the verb 'List' and the resource 'release', making the basic purpose clear. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'bookshelf_search_releases', and the meaning of 'release' is assumed.

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 like 'bookshelf_search_releases' or 'bookshelf_list_releaseprofile'. The description does not mention context, filters, or exclusions.

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