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 states 'List all tasks' which implies a read-only operation, but doesn't specify permissions required, pagination behavior, rate limits, or what 'all' entails (e.g., across organizations). For a tool with no annotations, this lacks critical behavioral context.

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, efficient sentence with no wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action ('List all tasks'), making it immediately clear. Every word earns its place, achieving maximum clarity in minimal space.

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 no annotations, no output schema, and a simple input schema with one optional parameter, the description is minimally adequate. It states the purpose but lacks behavioral details (e.g., read implications, scope limitations) and output information. For a list operation in a security/incident context, more context on permissions or data sensitivity would be beneficial.

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 100%, with the single parameter 'organizationIds' documented in the schema as filtering tasks by organization IDs, defaulting to 0 if empty. The description doesn't add any parameter details beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage without compensating value.

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 'List all tasks in the system' clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('tasks'), with 'all' indicating scope. It distinguishes from siblings like 'list_cases' or 'list_organizations' by specifying tasks, but doesn't differentiate from other task-related tools like 'get_task_by_id' or 'list_asset_tasks_by_id' beyond the 'all' qualifier.

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. It doesn't mention when to use 'list_tasks' instead of 'get_task_by_id' for a specific task, 'get_task_assignments' for assignments, or 'list_asset_tasks_by_id' for asset-specific tasks. No context or exclusions are provided.

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