review_submissions__items__list

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

Annotations already declare it is read-only and non-destructive. The description adds context that it reveals the state of each item and what Apple will see, plus the exact API path and method. It does not disclose pagination behavior, but annotations mitigate safety concerns.

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?

A single, efficient sentence plus the API endpoint. No fluff, front-loads the action and resource, and every word contributes.

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?

The tool is simple with strong annotations and a complete schema. The description explains the purpose and what the response contains (items and their states), which is adequate. Could mention pagination but not critical given schema.

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 parameters are fully described in the schema (100% coverage). The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

Clearly states it lists items inside a review submission and their state, with a specific use case. This differentiates it from siblings like review_submissions__list (lists submissions) and review_submission_items__create/update/delete (mutations).

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?

Provides clear context: use it to inspect the contents of a review submission before submission. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the purpose strongly implies when to use it.

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