sdcloud_list_tenant_pops

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

No annotations provided; description only says 'List', implying a read operation. It does not disclose pagination behavior (defaults, limits) or any other traits like rate limits or permissions. Adds little beyond the schema.

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?

One short sentence, no redundant words. It front-loads the action but could be slightly more structured to include output hints. Still, efficient.

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?

No output schema, and the description does not explain the return format (e.g., list of objects). For a listing tool with pagination, it should describe output behavior. Incomplete given the tool's complexity.

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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description mentions 'optional spec.size/spec.from pagination', which adds context about their purpose, but the schema already covers their individual meanings. Marginal value.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'List' and resource 'tenant points-of-presence', making the tool's purpose obvious. The pagination detail adds specificity, but there is no explicit differentiation from sibling tools, though the resource is unique.

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 over alternatives or when to avoid it. The description simply states the function without contextual usage advice.

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