learningsuite_list_popups

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Get all popups,' which implies a read operation but provides no details about pagination, ordering, inclusion of inactive popups, or response format. This is a significant gap for a tool with optional pagination parameters.

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 a single short sentence with no unnecessary words, making it easy to parse. It is front-loaded and concise, though it may be too terse to cover all necessary context, but that is addressed in other dimensions.

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 simple list tool with two optional pagination parameters and no output schema, the description is minimal but functional. It does not explain pagination semantics (e.g., default limit, whether 'all' includes pagination), nor does it mention any prerequisites. Given the low complexity, it is adequate but could be more 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?

The input schema fully documents limit and offset with descriptions ('Maximum to return' and 'Offset for pagination'). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so it meets 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 'Get all popups' clearly states the action (get) and the resource (popups), indicating a list operation. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_popup which likely retrieves a single popup. However, it lacks explicit mention of the list nature or any filtering, so it is clear but not maximally informative.

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 such as get_popup or trigger_popup. No context or exclusions are given, so the agent must infer usage solely from the tool name and sibling names.

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