List Checklist (Inspection) Comments

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

Annotations correctly indicate a read-only, idempotent operation. The description adds pagination context but misrepresents the return type as 'Inspections' instead of comments, reducing transparency. No information about rate limits or other behavioral traits is provided.

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 concise but contains inaccuracies ('enumerate Inspections', 'array of Inspections'). It includes an API reference, but the misleading statements reduce clarity. It could be restructured to avoid confusion.

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?

Given the complexity and no output schema, the description should clarify the return structure (comments on checklist items). Instead, it incorrectly states it returns inspections. It fails to provide a complete and accurate context for the tool's purpose.

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 parameters are already well-documented. The description adds context for page and per_page and mentions required project_id, but does not explain other filters. This is a baseline 3, with minor additional value.

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 states it returns 'Checklist Comments' but then says it 'enumerate Inspections' and returns 'an array of Inspections', which is contradictory and misleading. It does not clearly distinguish from sibling tools like list_checklist_inspections or list_checklist_inspections_items.

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 suggests using it to 'enumerate Inspections' but it is for comments. No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_checklist_comments or list_checklist_inspections. It lacks explicit when-not and alternative recommendations.

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