getAccountsByStack

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It indicates a read operation ('Get all'), which is useful, but it does not disclose error behavior, pagination, or any side effects. Basic transparency is present but lacks depth.

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 that front-loads the core action and purpose. Every word earns its place, with no unnecessary detail or repetition.

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?

The tool is simple (one parameter, no nested objects) and an output schema exists, so return values are presumably covered. The description is adequate for a basic lookup, though it lacks explicit usage guidance and potential edge-case behavior (e.g., empty results). Overall, it is reasonably complete for the tool's complexity.

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 schema has 0% description coverage for the parameter, and the description only says 'by stack name', which adds minimal semantic value beyond the parameter's title 'Stack Name'. No format, examples, or additional context are given, leaving the single parameter under-explained.

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 uses a specific verb 'Get' with a clear resource 'accounts/environments' and scoping 'in a stack by stack name'. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like listAccounts (which presumably returns all accounts) and getAccount (which returns a single account).

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 phrase 'by stack name' implies the use case of filtering accounts by stack, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over listAccounts or getAccount, nor does it mention any exclusions. Usage context is implied rather than articulated.

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