okf_registry_list

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

The description discloses the core behavior: listing all bundles registered under @slug aliases. However, with no annotations available, it carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure and does not mention read-only guarantees, sorting, pagination, or other potential behaviors. The output schema helps, but the description alone is thin.

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 front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundant phrasing. It is concise and immediately communicates the tool's purpose.

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 zero-parameter list tool with an output schema, the description is mostly sufficient. However, it leaves the concept of '@slug aliases' unexplained and does not clarify how this differs from the sibling okf_list_bundles_tool, which could matter for tool selection.

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 tool has zero parameters and the input schema is empty, so there is no parameter semantics for the description to add. This matches the baseline of 4 for parameterless tools.

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 ('all bundles registered under @slug aliases'), making the operation immediately understandable. It also distinguishes itself from sibling registry operations like add/remove/resolve by focusing on enumeration.

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?

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus the closely related okf_list_bundles_tool or other lookup tools. The phrase 'List all' implies an enumeration use case, but no alternatives or exclusions are mentioned.

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