trello_get_my_boards

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

No annotations provided; description describes a read-only operation implicitly. No details on rate limits, pagination, or authentication. Adequate but minimal.

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 sentence, no unnecessary words. Front-loaded with key action and resource.

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?

Without output schema or parameters, description is sufficient for a simple list operation. Could mention it returns only boards the user is a member of, but not critical.

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 to describe; schema coverage is 100% vacuously. Description adds nothing beyond the schema, but baseline for zero parameters 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 verb 'get' and resource 'boards' with scope 'all for authenticated user'. Distinct from sibling tools like trello_get_board (single board) and trello_create_board.

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?

Implied usage for listing all boards, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to compared to alternatives like trello_get_board. Context is clear but lacks guidance.

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