list_kubeconfigs

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries full responsibility. It only states the basic listing action and that a list is returned, but does not disclose read-only nature, potential errors, requirements, or any side effects. The behavior is implied by 'list' but not explicitly stated.

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 concise with a single action sentence, but the 'Returns' line 'kubeconfig文件列表' is redundant with the first sentence, slightly reducing efficiency. Still, it is front-loaded and appropriately sized.

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?

For a simple list tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description is adequate. It specifies the resource scope ('all saved kubeconfig files') and return type, but could mention where the files are located or how they are referenced, though that is likely domain knowledge.

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?

The tool has zero parameters and the input schema is empty, so schema coverage is trivially 100%. The baseline for 0 parameters is 4, and the description adds no parameter-related meaning because there are none to describe.

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 clearly states the tool lists all saved kubeconfig files, using a specific verb ('列出') and resource ('kubeconfig文件'). It distinguishes from siblings like load/delete/get_kubeconfig_info by focusing on listing all, not individual operations.

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 such as load_kubeconfig or get_kubeconfig_info. The description simply states what it does without any contextual hints or exclusions.

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