List the preset packs

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It explains the semantic nature of the returned items ('a preset overlays extra rules on the standard profile') with concrete examples like cleaver and plain, which is genuinely useful domain context. It does not explicitly state the operation is read-only or describe listing behavior, leaving a small gap for a no-annotation tool.

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, front-loaded with the core purpose, then a single sentence of domain explanation that earns its place by defining what a 'preset' actually is. Zero waste.

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?

With an output schema present, return values need not be explained, and a zero-param list tool is simple enough that the description plus schema is nearly complete. Only a brief note on when to reach for this versus the siblings would make it fully self-contained.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline 4 applies. The description correctly does not invent parameter details.

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 the built-in preset packs') and immediately ties the resource to the sibling tools that consume it ('the chop and check tools accept'). An agent can distinguish this from chop/check/drift without opening any schema.

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?

By naming chop and check as the consumers, it implies this tool is a discovery step before invoking them, but it never states when to call it versus those siblings or any preconditions/exclusions. Usage is inferable rather than explicit.

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