List Drawing Areas

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds context about paginated JSON array and endpoint, but does not disclose beyond annotations. No contradictory information. The description adds modest value over 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?

Description is four sentences, front-loaded with purpose. It includes endpoint info which is slightly extraneous but not overly verbose. Overall efficiently written with no wasted words.

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 no output schema, the description covers main points: purpose, pagination, required parameter, filtering. It could detail response structure more, but it's sufficient for an agent to understand what to expect. Context signals show simple parameter set, so completeness is adequate.

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 baseline is 3. The description mentions page and per_page for pagination and filters__id for filtering, but these are already described in the schema. The description adds no significant new semantic information beyond what the schema 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 clearly states the tool returns a list of all Drawing Areas in a specified Project, using strong verb 'Returns' and resource 'Drawing Areas'. It distinguishes from siblings like create_drawing_area, update_drawing_area, and delete_a_drawing_area by explicitly mentioning listing, pagination, and filtering.

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 gives explicit when-to-use: 'enumerate Drawings when you need a paginated overview, to find IDs, or to filter by query parameters.' It does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives, but the sibling context implies listing vs. CRUD. Slight room for improvement but clear overall.

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