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 behavioral burden, and it discloses nothing. It doesn't mention that results are paginated (despite a limit param), the read-only nature, or the response shape.

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?

It is short, but the parenthetical just duplicates the identical path string, which is pure waste rather than useful compression. Nothing is front-loaded because nothing informative is present.

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?

For a relational GET endpoint with no output schema and no annotations, the description should at minimum say what collection is returned and how it relates to the parent pre-release version. It provides none of that.

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_builds. Per the high-coverage baseline, 3 is appropriate since the description contributes nothing further about parameter meaning.

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 just the raw HTTP path repeated twice, 'GET /v1/preReleaseVersions/{id}/builds (GET /v1/preReleaseVersions/{id}/builds)'. It restates the tool name rather than stating in plain language that it fetches the builds belonging to a pre-release version, so it adds no meaning beyond the name.

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. Notably the sibling pre_release_versions_builds_get_to_many_relationship exists, and nothing here explains the 'related' vs 'relationship' distinction an agent must resolve.

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