Get all Umeng apps

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

Mentions pagination and normalization, but no annotations are provided. Doesn't disclose whether it's idempotent, rate limits, or error handling behavior. Could be more explicit about the safety limit and page iteration.

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?

Single sentence that is front-loaded and efficient. Every word serves a purpose. No fluff.

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, but description implies it returns a list of apps. Could benefit from specifying output fields or normalization details. With 1 simple parameter, it is mostly adequate but not fully comprehensive.

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?

Only one parameter (maxPages) with schema already describing it as safety limit. Description adds no additional semantic value beyond schema. 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?

Description clearly states it fetches all apps via pagination and normalizes fields. It distinguishes itself from search/filter tools like umeng_find_apps and raw app list tools.

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 explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. Does not compare with sibling tools like umeng_find_apps or umeng_uapp_get_app_list. Assumes bulk retrieval but lacks context for selection.

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