A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true already tell the agent this is a safe, externally-scoped read, so the description adds little behavioral context. The parenthetical field list is mildly useful but largely duplicates the output schema that already exists; nothing is said about pagination, result size, or ordering.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One compact sentence with the resource and scope front-loaded and zero filler. Nothing is redundant or buried.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema covering return values, annotations covering safety, and a trivial single-parameter schema, the description is nearly sufficient. The only real gap is that it never positions this as the entry-point discovery tool for the rest of the Overleaf toolset.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and the single parameter include_archived is fully described in the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description does not mention the archived-projects behavior at all, leaving the schema to carry it.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ("List the Overleaf projects") and adds a scoping constraint ("this account can access"). It is unmistakable against the file-level siblings like overleaf_list_files and overleaf_read_file, though it never names a sibling explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied: an agent would infer this is the discovery step for obtaining project ids before calling overleaf_list_files or the write tools, but nothing states that. There is no when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative mentioned.

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