printix_list_workstations

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It does disclose paging behavior and the data category, but it does not mention whether results have defaults, ordering, rate limits, or any authentication requirements. For a simple read-only list this is adequate but not rich.

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 entire description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the resource and action, then adds scope and pagination. There is no wasted text.

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?

This is a low-complexity list tool with fully described parameters, no required arguments, and no output schema. The description names the resource, tenant scope, and paging behavior, which is sufficient for an agent to select and invoke it correctly. A default page-size mention would have made it fully complete.

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?

The input schema already fully documents both parameters (page and pageSize) with 100% coverage, so the description does not need to add parameter detail. The word 'paged' reinforces the schema but adds little beyond it, matching the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 a clear verb ('List'), a specific resource ('Printix workstations'), and an explicit scope ('for the tenant'). It also clarifies that the data is 'client-device monitoring data,' which distinguishes it from other list operations and from the singular get_workstation sibling.

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 tenant-level scope and paging behavior imply when this tool would apply, and the list/get sibling pattern makes the intended general usage inferable. However, the description does not explicitly say when to choose this over printix_get_workstation or mention any exclusions.

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