beta_app_localizations__list

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint as true/true/false, covering safety and idempotency. The description adds no behavioral context beyond what the schema and annotations provide, such as pagination or filtering behavior, so it does not exceed the baseline set by annotations.

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 concise with two sentences, front-loading the purpose and endpoint. Every word adds value, though it could be slightly improved by including context about scope or typical usage without adding significant length.

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 tool has no output schema and 5 parameters, the description lacks essential context about the response structure, pagination behavior, and when to use filters. It does not explain the difference from the sibling tool that lists beta app localizations for a specific app, making it incomplete for an agent to fully understand its usage.

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 100% with clear descriptions for all 5 parameters. The description does not add any further meaning or context beyond what the schema already provides, so it meets the baseline without additional value.

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 clearly states 'List beta app localizations' with the HTTP method and endpoint, providing a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'apps__beta_app_localizations__list', which also lists beta app localizations but scoped to a specific app, leaving ambiguity about when to use this tool versus that one.

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 like 'apps__beta_app_localizations__list'. It lacks any context about scope or filtering, and does not mention prerequisites or conditions for use, leaving the agent without decision support.

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