ci_mac_os_versions_get_collection

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 — no read-only nature, no pagination behavior, no auth/permission requirements for App Store Connect CI resources.

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?

It is short, but brevity here reflects under-specification rather than economy — the duplicated endpoint string is pure noise and carries zero semantic content.

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 no annotations, no output schema, and five parameters including relationship-include semantics, the description is completely inadequate; an agent cannot tell what this resource is or how it differs from sibling CI endpoints.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all five parameters (limit, include, limit_xcodeVersions, fields_ciMacOsVersions, fields_ciXcodeVersions). The description adds nothing, but the baseline of 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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?

The description is the tautology 'GET /v1/ciMacOsVersions (GET /v1/ciMacOsVersions)' — it merely restates the endpoint path with no verb+resource explanation of what it retrieves or returns. An agent gains nothing beyond what the tool name already implies.

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 whatsoever on when to call this versus the many sibling collection/list tools (e.g. ci_xcode_versions_get_collection, ci_mac_os_versions_get_instance, ci_mac_os_versions_xcode_versions_get_to_many_relationship). Nothing indicates it lists available macOS versions for CI.

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