list_foods

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

No annotations are provided, and the description discloses no behavioral traits. The tool has 9 parameters for pagination, search, ordering, and filtering, but the description is silent on how the tool behaves or what side effects it has.

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 it fails to be useful. While it is concise in length, it sacrifices necessary information, making it under-specified rather than efficiently informative.

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?

Given the complexity (9 parameters, many siblings, output schema exists), the description is grossly incomplete. It does not explain the tool's capabilities, parameters, or how it fits into the broader toolset.

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 'Get All' adds no meaning to any of the 9 parameters. The agent receives no insight into parameter purpose (e.g., 'page' for pagination, 'search' for filtering) beyond what the JSON schema provides.

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 a tautology of the tool name 'list_foods'. It does not specify what resource is being listed or provide any meaningful verb-resource combination, and it fails to distinguish this tool from numerous sibling list_* tools.

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?

The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many sibling list tools, the absence of usage context leaves the agent without any criteria for selection.

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