Retrieve searchable property descriptions for a given class to enable targeted property queries.

:param class_symbolic_name: The symbolic name of the class to retrieve searchable properties for

:returns: A list of CachePropertyDescription objects for properties that are searchable

Input Schema

class_symbolic_nameYes

Output Schema

resultYes
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full burden. It mentions the return type (CachePropertyDescription objects) but does not disclose read-only behavior, authentication needs, error conditions, or side effects. The verb 'retrieves' weakly implies non-destructiveness but 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise with a single sentence plus a structured parameter and return description. It is front-loaded and avoids unnecessary words, though the docstring format adds slight verbosity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the existence of an output schema, the description adequately covers the return type. It compensates for 0% schema coverage by explaining the parameter. However, it lacks information about errors, permissions, or behavior for invalid classes.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description provides a clear parameter explanation: 'The symbolic name of the class to retrieve searchable properties for'. This adds meaning beyond the bare schema definition.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it retrieves only the searchable properties of a class. The verb 'retrieves' and target 'searchable properties' are specific. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'get_class_property_descriptions' by limiting to searchable ones.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for retrieving searchable properties but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_class_property_descriptions'. No exclusions or prerequisites are given.

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