whodb_platform_app_components

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, covering the safety and idempotency profile. The description adds that workspace targeting is per-call without changing defaults, which is useful behavioral context beyond annotations, but doesn't describe output structure, pagination, or rate limits.

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?

Three concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, followed by usage guidance and a parameter note. No waste, well-structured.

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?

Covers purpose, a usage trigger, and per-call workspace behavior. For a read-only list tool with rich annotations and full schema coverage, this is nearly complete. Missing minor details like output shape (no output schema, but list tools typically return arrays) or pagination behavior.

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%, so the schema fully documents both parameters including the nested workspace object. The description's note about workspace being per-call targeting without changing defaults adds slightly beyond the schema but is largely redundant. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: 'List exact app component documentation categories from the hosted builder.' This is distinguishable from siblings like whodb_platform_app_component (singular) and whodb_platform_app_components. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with those siblings, keeping it from a 5.

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?

Provides one conditional guideline: 'Call before using unfamiliar component types.' This implies usage context but gives no explicit when-not-to-use, no mention of singular sibling tool whodb_platform_app_component as an alternative, and no prerequisites.

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