Get Contributing Behavior Filter Options

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds that it returns a JSON array of filter values, which is useful but does not disclose pagination behavior or limits beyond the schema. It provides adequate supplementary context.

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 contains a confusing and incorrect sentence about fetching incident details, which should be removed. It is not concise and includes extraneous information that misleads.

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?

The description specifies the return type (JSON array of filter values) but omits pagination details and how to use the values. The misleading sentence further detracts from completeness. Without an output schema, more clarity would be beneficial.

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 coverage is 100%, so the description adds no extra meaning beyond what is already in the schema. The only addition is restating 'Required parameters: project_id,' which is redundant.

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 begins clearly by stating it returns contributing behaviors for filtering incidents, but then misleadingly says 'Use this to fetch the full details of a specific Incidents by its identifier,' which contradicts the tool's actual purpose as a filter options endpoint. This confusion reduces clarity.

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 get_contributing_condition_filter_options or other filter options. The description does not specify context for use or exclusions.

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