List webhooks

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

Explicitly discloses that the signing secret is never returned and is only shown at creation, which is important security behavior not captured in 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?

Two concise sentences, each carrying essential information without redundancy or unnecessary 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?

Complete for a parameterless tool with no output schema; the caveat about the signing secret is the only relevant contextual detail an agent needs.

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?

No parameters exist, so the description adds no parameter-specific info; schema coverage is trivially 100%, making this a neutral baseline.

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?

States a specific verb ('List') and resource ('webhooks') with scope ('on this account'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling webhook tools like 'add_webhook' and 'delete_webhook'.

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?

Provides clear context for listing webhooks, and the sibling names make the distinction obvious, though it doesn't explicitly say 'use this when you need to see existing webhooks'.

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