pre_release_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/mutation profile, no pagination behavior, no authentication or scope requirements, no notes on the include/filter semantics that make this endpoint non-trivial.

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 the brevity is under-specification rather than conciseness — the single 'sentence' is the endpoint path duplicated in parentheses, which conveys no information an agent could not infer from the tool name.

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?

For a 15-parameter collection endpoint with no annotations, no output schema, and no guidance, the definition is completely inadequate. The agent has no way to know what it will receive (a list of pre-release versions with optional included builds/app relationships?) or when the call is appropriate.

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% across all 15 parameters, so the schema alone documents sort, limit, include, and every filter and sparse-fieldset option. Per the rubric that yields a baseline of 3, and the description adds nothing on top of it.

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 nothing but the HTTP path repeated twice: 'GET /v1/preReleaseVersions (GET /v1/preReleaseVersions)'. It restates the tool name and endpoint without saying what a pre-release version collection is, what it contains, or how it differs from siblings like pre_release_versions_get_instance or pre_release_versions_builds_get_to_many_relationship.

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 when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative is mentioned. An agent cannot tell from this text whether to use this collection endpoint versus the app-scoped relationship endpoint (apps_pre_release_versions_get_to_many_relationship) or the single-instance getter.

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