pmg_ruledb_rule_to_list

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

Describes as read operation, gives HTTP method GET, and notes config requirement. No annotations provided, but description compensates with useful behavioral 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?

Two short paragraphs, no fluff. Front-loaded with purpose, then config, path, parameter. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Covers purpose, config, path, and parameter well. Output schema handles return values. Minor missing: no mention of pagination or typical usage sequence, but adequate for a simple list 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 coverage is 50%; description adds meaning for id_ (positive integer string, example) that schema lacks. proximo_target already described in schema. Overall adds value.

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 'List the to objects attached to a PMG RuleDB rule (read)'. Specific verb + resource + read nature distinguishes from siblings like from_list, to_attach.

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?

Mentions config requirement and path, but no explicit when-to-use or comparison with siblings. Context is clear enough for inference.

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