telegram_get_inline_buttons

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

The description indicates a read-only operation ('List') and mentions that the result contains row and column values, adding some behavioral context. However, it does not disclose potential errors, edge cases, or output format details beyond the annotations' readOnlyHint.

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 concise, using only two sentences with no redundant information. It is well-structured and immediately communicates purpose and follow-up usage.

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?

For a simple two-parameter read-only tool, the description provides sufficient context: what it lists, that it relates to a single Telegram message, and how the result feeds into a sibling tool. It does not fully describe output structure, but the reference to row and column values covers the essential need.

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% and the description does not explain the parameters chat_id or message_id. While their names are somewhat self-explanatory, the description does not compensate for the lack of schema-level documentation, especially given the low coverage.

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 the specific resource ('inline buttons attached to one Telegram message'). It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools like telegram_get_messages by focusing on inline buttons and explicitly linking to telegram_click_inline_button.

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 clear context for when to use the tool: to obtain row and column values needed for telegram_click_inline_button. It stops short of explicitly mentioning when not to use it or naming alternative tools, but the follow-up instruction provides strong usage guidance.

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