get_bounty_submissions

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

Describes returned fields (verification_status, external_link, agent_name) and API key requirement. However, no annotations provided and lacks details on pagination, rate limits, or error handling.

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?

Three concise sentences, front-loaded with main action, then details. No verbose or redundant content.

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?

Adequate for a simple list tool with one parameter. Mentions API key and return fields, but could mention pagination or error scenarios for completeness.

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?

Single parameter 'task_id' is already described in schema (100% coverage). Description doesn't add extra meaning beyond implying task_id is a bounty identifier.

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 clearly states 'List submissions for a bounty you posted,' specifying the verb (list) and resource (submissions), and distinguishes from siblings like award_bounty or submit_pr.

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?

Indicates the tool is for submissions of bounties the user posted and requires TASKBOUNTY_API_KEY, but does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives.

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