List Comments

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. 'Get All' only implies a read operation and gives no information about pagination behavior, default ordering, response shape, authentication needs, or side effects. It is not contradictory, but it is almost completely silent on what the tool actually does.

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 short and front-loaded, but brevity here is under-specification, not conciseness. 'Get All' does not earn its place because it fails to communicate the tool's resource, scope, or parameter behavior.

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 8 parameters, an output schema, and a large set of sibling tools, the description is far too sparse to be complete. An agent cannot determine what list_comments returns, how pagination works, what filters are available, or how this differs from other listing tools, so the definition is inadequate for correct invocation.

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 0%, and the description adds no meaning to any of the 8 parameters. Parameters like page, perPage, orderBy, queryFilter, and paginationSeed are completely unexplained by both the schema and the description, placing the full burden on the agent to guess their semantics.

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' is too vague to stand on its own; it does not explicitly state that comments are the resource being retrieved. The tool name and title supply the resource, but the description itself merely restates the notion of listing without specifying scope or behavior.

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 list_comments versus related tools such as list_recipes_by_slug_comments, get_comments_by_item, or create_comments. The description provides no context about filtering, pagination, or the distinction between listing all comments and scoped comment operations.

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