verychic_list_deals

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose all behavioral traits but only mentions the default limit and that offers are 'current'. Important traits like pagination behavior, maximum limit, ordering, or rate limits are omitted.

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 of fewer than 10 words, stating the core functionality and default. No wasted words and efficiently communicates the primary action.

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 the tool is simple (1 parameter, optional, with output schema), the description covers the basic action and default. However, it lacks information on how to handle large result sets or the meaning of 'current', which moderately reduces completeness.

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 description adds the default value of 20 for the limit parameter, which is also in the schema, but does not explain the parameter's purpose (e.g., 'maximum number of offers to return'). For a single parameter with 0% schema coverage, this is minimal added meaning.

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 clearly states it lists current VeryChic offers and mentions a default limit of 20. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like verychic_offer_details (specific details) and verychic_search_offers (search functionality).

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, nor does it mention any prerequisites, exclusions, or context for selecting this tool over its siblings.

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