skylight_list_frame_members

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

Without annotations, the description only says 'list members', implying a read-only operation. It does not disclose authentication needs, error handling, or pagination, but for a simple list tool this is minimally acceptable.

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 sentence, which is concise, but it lacks structure and could benefit from additional context. It is not verbose but also not optimally informative.

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 parameter and no output schema or annotations, the description is very minimal. It does not explain return values, error conditions, or any edge cases, leaving the agent under-informed.

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 adds no explanation of the frameId parameter beyond its name. No information about format, required status, or default behavior is provided.

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 members (frame_users) of a Skylight frame' clearly states the action (list) and resource (members of a frame), distinguishing it from siblings like skylight_get_frame and skylight_list_frames.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or exclusion criteria. The description only implies usage but does not explicitly help the agent decide.

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