list_webex_team_memberships

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the bot membership requirement and error condition, and mentions the return format as a standardized dictionary. However, it does not discuss other behavioral aspects like rate limits or read-only nature, leaving some gaps.

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 very concise: two short paragraphs with clear sections (main description, bot note, args, returns). Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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 list tool with 2 parameters and no output schema, the description covers all necessary context: purpose, prerequisites, parameter details with defaults, error conditions, and return format. It is complete for an agent to use correctly.

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%, so the description must compensate. The Args section clearly explains both parameters: team_id as required, and max_results with default (100) and max (1000). This adds significant meaning beyond the schema's basic titles.

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 members of a Webex team' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_webex_memberships (general membership list) and add_webex_team_membership (add action) explicitly by focusing on team scope.

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 includes a 'Bot access note' that explains the prerequisite of bot membership and the error behavior if not met. This provides context for when the tool can be used. It does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use, but the note is valuable enough to warrant a high score.

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