list_announcement_notify_scopes

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

No annotations are provided, and the description only states that it retrieves a list. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, pagination, response shape, or whether any side effects occur. While a GET list is typically safe, the description itself provides no such assurance.

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, front-loaded sentence that directly states the operation and endpoint. Every part is useful and there is no redundant text.

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?

This is a zero-parameter list operation with no output schema and no annotations. The description provides the essential invocation information (operation + endpoint). It does not mention what the response contains, but given the simplicity of the tool, the description is largely sufficient for an agent to select and call it.

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 input schema has zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to explain. The description adds no parameter semantics, but with 0 parameters, the baseline of 4 applies.

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 tool gets a list of announcement notification scopes (獲取公告通知範圍列表) and provides the exact endpoint (GET /v1/common/announcement-notify-scope). This specific verb+resource fully distinguishes it from siblings like list_announcement_notify_types and list_announcement_notify_levels.

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 description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many sibling list tools. It lacks any context about use cases, prerequisites, or alternatives, so an agent must infer when to select this among similar list endpoints.

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