ListKeywordsAlarmRules

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It fails to state that this is a read-only list operation, whether pagination is involved, or what the response contains. The description reveals no behavior beyond the name, leaving the agent without critical operational context.

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 sentence, but it is severely under-specified rather than concise. It repeats the tool name and provides 'Huawei Cloud LTS operation' as boilerplate, offering no unique information. Every word is wasted because none of it helps the agent understand the tool's function.

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 a simple list operation with optional parameters and no output schema, the description is still completely inadequate. It fails to state the resource type (keyword alarm rules), the list semantics, or any relation to sibling tools like CreateKeywordsAlarmRule or UpdateKeywordsAlarmRule. The agent is left without enough context to correctly select or invoke the tool.

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% for the two parameters, both with clear 'Overrides' descriptions. The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics, but the baseline of 3 is appropriate because the schema already fully documents the parameters and their override behavior.

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 is a tautology: it merely restates the tool name as 'Huawei Cloud LTS operation ListKeywordsAlarmRules.' It does not specify that the tool lists keyword alarm rules or what that entails. The name itself hints at the function, but the description adds no clarifying verb or resource distinction beyond the title.

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 tool versus alternatives. It does not mention related operations like ListSqlAlarmRules or describe context such as listing alarm rules for monitoring. No exclusions, prerequisites, or alternative recommendations are provided.

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