list_managed_cluster_addons

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states 'List', implying a read-only operation, but fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as permission requirements, pagination, or the effect of the optional 'cluster' parameter. The description is minimal and adds little beyond the name.

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 very concise (one sentence, 9 words) and front-loaded, which is good. However, it is overly brief and omits important details, making it less helpful than a slightly longer but more informative description.

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 presence of an output schema and the simplicity of the tool, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the relationship between the two parameters, nor does it clarify the tool's role among many sibling list tools. An agent would need to infer or experiment to use this tool correctly.

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%, yet the description only vaguely references 'on a specific managed cluster', which maps to the required 'cluster_name' parameter. It does not explain the optional 'cluster' parameter or provide any usage details for either parameter. The description adds minimal semantic value beyond the parameter names.

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 action (list) and resource (ManagedClusterAddons) with a specific scope (on a specific managed cluster). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_managed_clusters, though it could be more explicit about the exact resource association.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it differs from similar list tools among the many siblings.

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