list_webex_webhooks

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

The description discloses that returns are a 'Standardized response dictionary with success/error information,' but it does not clarify behavioral aspects like pagination, rate limits, or the fact that max_results actually imposes a limit (contradicting 'list all'). With no annotations, this is insufficient.

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 concise with a single sentence for purpose and a brief Args/Returns section. It avoids unnecessary verbosity and is easy to parse, though the main description could be more precise.

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 operation with one parameter, the description covers the basic functionality and parameter. However, it lacks details about the response structure (e.g., format of each webhook) and could be more complete for an agent to understand the output.

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 description adds information about max_results (default 100, max 100) beyond the schema's minimal definition, but it contradicts the schema default of null. This discrepancy reduces clarity and reliability.

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 all webhooks registered to the bot', which is a specific verb-resource combination. However, the mention of 'all' is slightly inconsistent with the max_results parameter that limits results, causing minor ambiguity.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_webex_webhook for a single webhook or create_webex_webhook for creation. The description lacks any context about prerequisites or exclusions.

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