Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The only added detail, "inside the project directory," essentially restates the tool name and says nothing about return format, recursion, ordering, or whether the listing is filtered.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. It is efficient, though brevity here shades into under-specification rather than disciplined conciseness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description should explain what a listing entry looks like and whether results are paginated or scoped; it does neither. Combined with undocumented parameters and no sibling routing, an agent would be guessing at call semantics.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% across three parameters (requestId, sessionId, expectedRevision), and the description mentions none of them. In particular, an agent gets no hint about what expectedRevision means for a read-only listing operation, which is a genuinely non-obvious parameter.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ("List") and resource ("saved project files") plus a scope ("inside the project directory"). It is reasonably distinguishable from siblings like list_layers, list_assets, and list_timelines, though the term "project files" is never defined and could overlap with list_assets.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No when-to-use guidance and no named alternatives among the ~50 sibling tools. An agent cannot tell from this description whether to call list_projects versus list_assets or list_sessions when looking for stored content.

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