List Admin Backups

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral disclosure burden. 'Get All' discloses nothing about authentication requirements, response format, pagination, ordering, or whether this operation has side effects. With zero annotation coverage, this is a serious gap.

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?

The description is extremely short, but this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. It conveys no usable information and does not earn its place as a meaningful instructional sentence.

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?

Although the output schema exists and may define the return shape, the description is too incomplete to enable correct selection and invocation. An agent must rely on the tool name and sibling context to infer that this lists admin backups, and it still receives no guidance on output semantics or usage context.

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?

The schema has one optional parameter, accept-language, with 0% schema description coverage. The description does not mention this parameter or explain its purpose, so the agent receives no semantic guidance beyond the parameter name and type.

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 'Get All' essentially restates the list operation implied by the tool name and title. It provides no specific verb-resource clarity beyond the title, and does not distinguish this from the closely related get_admin_backups_by_file_name or create_admin_backups operations.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many sibling backup tools, such as get_admin_backups_by_file_name or create_admin_backups. The 'Get All' wording implies a list-all purpose, but the description never explicitly states it or excludes alternatives.

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