Get SPT Versions

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

No annotations provided; description only lists outputs. Does not disclose traits like read-only nature, required permissions, rate limits, or behavior when no versions exist. For a simple list tool, minimal transparency is given.

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 sentences with zero fluff. First sentence states what it does, second provides context on utility. Efficient and front-loaded.

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 output schema, the description covers returned data (versions, counts, links) but omits parameter details. Schema provides pagination params, but since descriptions are missing, it's a gap. Adequate for a simple list tool but not fully complete.

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 description does not mention the parameters (page, per_page). The name 'per_page' is somewhat self-explanatory but 'page' is not; description adds no value beyond schema 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?

Clearly states 'List available SPT versions' with included data (mod counts, release links) and a specific use case (determining version constraint for filtering mods). Distinct from sibling tools like get_mod_versions or list_categories.

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?

Explicitly mentions a use case: 'determining which SPT version constraint to filter mods by.' However, it does not provide when-not-to-use guidance or mention alternative tools.

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