Get Permission Level Options

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

Annotations already indicate safe, read-only behavior. The description adds value by specifying that the response 'id' is used as permission_level_id in other API calls, and it provides the API endpoint, enhancing transparency beyond annotations.

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 mostly concise, but the third and fourth sentences about Resource Planning records and the endpoint are somewhat extraneous and could be removed or integrated more cleanly.

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 explains the response's 'id' field usage, but lacks details on pagination and overall response structure. With no output schema, some gaps remain, though annotations partially compensate.

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?

All three parameters are well-described in the schema (100% coverage). The description adds minimal additional meaning beyond mentioning company_id is required, which is already in the schema.

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 retrieves permission level options within a company and explains the usage of the response's 'id' field. However, it includes confusing sentences about fetching Resource Planning records, which detracts from 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?

The description notes required parameters but does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it specify when not to use it. The endpoint information implicitly hints at usage context.

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