get_products

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

Annotations already mark as read-only. Description adds permission requirement, data inclusion detail (data block product info if compatible), and HTTP method/endpoint – all beyond 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?

Very concise: one sentence with permission and key details, plus endpoint. 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?

Simple tool with one optional param and no output schema; description provides core purpose, permission, and data inclusion. Lacks pagination details but schema covers that.

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 covers the only parameter (page) with description. Description adds no parameter info beyond schema, meeting baseline for 100% 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?

Description clearly states verb 'Gets' and resource 'products available to this account', distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_contacts or get_addresses.

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?

Specifies required permission and context (products assignable to service lines). While it doesn't explicitly list when not to use, the sibling set implies specialization; could be improved with alternative references.

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