okta_list_user_sessions

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

No annotations. Description implies a read operation but does not confirm non-destructiveness, disclose authentication needs, rate limits, or behavior when no sessions exist.

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?

Very short (one phrase) but lacks necessary detail. Conciseness is not justified by under-specification.

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 one required parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too sparse. It does not cover what constitutes a session or expected output, leaving gaps for an AI agent.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, description must elaborate on parameters. It mentions 'for a user' but does not explain what userId is (e.g., email or ID) or how to obtain it.

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?

Clear verb (list) and resource (active Okta sessions) with scope (for a user). Distinguishes from siblings that list other entities like okta_list_users or okta_list_groups, though no explicit sibling differentiation.

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?

No usage guidelines or context provided. Does not indicate when to use this tool vs alternatives such as okta_search_user_system_logs or okta_get_user.

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