Get All Equipment Statuses (Project)

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds little beyond noting pagination. The internal contradiction about returning all versus specific records creates confusion about the tool's actual behavior.

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 relatively short but includes a redundant sentence repeating the title and a misleading statement about fetching a specific record. It could be more concise and accurate by removing the inconsistent part.

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?

No output schema is provided, so the description should clearly explain the return structure. It says 'Returns a paginated JSON array of Equipment records' but the tool name and endpoint refer to 'statuses,' not equipment records. The filtering parameter (filters__is_active) is not mentioned, and the purpose is unclear.

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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description lists required parameters (per_page, project_id, company_id) and mentions page and per_page for pagination, but it does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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 starts by restating the title ('Get all equipment Statuses (Project)') but then contradicts itself by saying 'fetch the full details of a specific Equipment records by its identifier.' This inconsistency muddles whether the tool returns all statuses or a specific record. The endpoint suggests a list of statuses, but the description mentions 'Equipment records.'

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings like get_all_equipment_statuses_company or get_equipment_by_id_project. The misleading claim about fetching a specific record could lead an agent to incorrectly select this tool for single-record retrieval.

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