list_groups_ai_providers_settings

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

No annotations are provided, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits (e.g., read-only, authentication requirements, side effects). The description only repeats the tool name, offering no behavioral context.

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?

While the description is very short (one sentence), it is under-specified rather than concise. It fails to convey essential information, making it insufficient for an agent to use effectively.

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?

Despite having an output schema, the description does not explain what the tool returns or how the output relates to AI provider settings. With one optional parameter and no usage context, the description is incomplete for effective tool selection.

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 input schema has one parameter ('accept-language') with 0% description coverage, and the tool description does not mention or explain this parameter. The description adds no value beyond the schema's existence.

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?

Description 'Get Ai Provider Settings' essentially restates the tool name 'list_groups_ai_providers_settings', using a different verb ('Get' vs 'list') without clarifying the specific action or resource scope. It does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'update_groups_ai_providers_settings'.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks any context about prerequisites, filters, or relationships with other tools such as 'update_groups_ai_providers_settings'.

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