apps__build_uploads__list

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, and the description ('List') aligns with them. The description adds only the endpoint reference and no further behavioral context (e.g., pagination, includes behavior), which is acceptable given the strong annotation coverage.

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?

Two short clauses, zero waste. The verb-led statement is front-loaded, and the endpoint inclusion is a valuable technical addition without bloat.

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?

For a read-only list tool with rich schema descriptions and strong annotations, the core purpose is fully conveyed. It lacks explicit sibling differentiation and a note about pagination, but the schema covers the next_url parameter, so the description is adequately complete.

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?

All 10 parameters are documented in the schema (100% coverage), so the description need not repeat parameter details. The description adds no parameter-level meaning, which is fine per the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 uses a specific verb ('List') with a clear resource ('build uploads') and scope ('belonging to an app'), and includes the exact API endpoint. This cleanly distinguishes it from siblings like apps__builds__list and build_uploads__get.

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 app-scoping provides clear context for the call, but there is no explicit when/when-not guidance or named alternatives (e.g., when to use build_uploads__get vs this list). Usage is implied by the resource name and endpoint rather than stated.

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