get_data_table_rows

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

No annotations are provided, placing full burden on the description. The description only states the basic read operation without disclosing any behavioral traits such as idempotency, safety, performance implications, or side effects. It fails to indicate that this is a read-only, non-destructive operation.

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 a single, concise sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the primary action. However, it is somewhat terse and could be expanded slightly without losing conciseness.

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?

Given the lack of parameter documentation and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not clarify what a 'Data Table asset' is or how to locate the path. Although an output schema exists, this does not compensate for missing parameter context.

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 description coverage is 0% (no description for 'data_table_path'), and the tool description adds no meaning beyond the parameter name. It does not explain what format the path should be, how to specify it, or provide examples, leaving the agent to guess.

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 the verb ('Get'), resource ('all rows and their field data from a Data Table asset'), and scope ('all rows'). This distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_data_table_row' (single row) and 'get_data_table_schema' (schema only).

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. Siblings like 'get_data_table_row' exist for retrieving a single row, but the description does not mention this or any context for choosing this tool.

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