list_webex_rooms

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses default and max for max_results and mentions a standardized response, but does not detail pagination, rate limits, or sorting defaults.

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 well-structured with Args and Returns sections, but includes some redundancy (e.g., 'List Webex rooms' in both title and description). Could be slightly more concise.

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?

For a simple listing tool with 4 optional parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description provides adequate context: purpose, parameters, and return format. Minor gaps in pagination details and error handling.

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 0%, but the description provides clear, detailed explanations for each of the 4 parameters, including defaults and filtering options, adding significant value beyond the raw 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 'List Webex rooms that the authenticated bot belongs to', using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_webex_spaces by specifying 'rooms'.

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 explains parameters but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_webex_spaces, list_webex_teams). Usage context is implied but no exclusions or when-not-to-use advice.

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