abx_get_all_versions

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds nothing beyond that – no pagination behavior, no default page/size semantics, no note on whether versions are returned newest-first, and no auth context for the projectId requirement.

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 content is short and front-loaded, but the three lines are near-verbatim restatements of the same fact, with the raw path adding little for an agent. Two of the three lines could be dropped without information loss.

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 paginated read with full annotation coverage, a fully documented schema, and no output schema to explain, the description supplies enough to call the tool correctly. Missing pagination/default-size hints are minor gaps rather than blockers.

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% and all four parameters (id, projectId, page, size) are documented in the schema, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description contributes no additional meaning about parameter usage or interactions.

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 gives a specific verb and resource ('Fetch all versions of an action') and even names the underlying endpoint, so an agent can distinguish it from sibling version tools such as abx_create_action_version, abx_delete_action_version, and abx_release_action_version. It does not explicitly name or contrast any alternative, but the name-plus-scope is unambiguous.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus related tools, no preconditions, and no mention of the non-system vs system action distinction implied by the projectId parameter. The only signal is the implied 'list version history', which the agent must infer.

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