D1.7/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, and it discloses nothing. It does not mention pagination behavior (relevant given the 'limit' param), the read-only nature of the operation, return shape, or any permission requirements.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The text is short, but it wastes its entire length duplicating the same path string twice inside parentheses. It is under-specified rather than concise — there is no front-loaded purpose statement, just a repeated route.

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

Completeness1/5

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

With three parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should explain what the endpoint returns and how it behaves. It provides none of this, leaving the agent with only the raw path to work from.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents id, limit, and fields_betaGroups, giving a baseline of 3. The description adds no additional parameter meaning beyond the schema, so it neither helps nor hurts.

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

Purpose2/5

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

The description is a verbatim restatement of the tool name in HTTP-path form: 'GET /v1/apps/{id}/betaGroups'. It names a verb (GET) and resource (betaGroups), but adds nothing an agent couldn't derive from the name itself, and offers no differentiation from the many sibling get_to_many_related tools.

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

Usage Guidelines1/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Siblings like apps_beta_groups_get_to_many_relationship, beta_groups_get_collection, and beta_testers_beta_groups_get_to_many_related are not referenced, and no condition for selecting this endpoint is given.

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