get-bookmarks-in-list

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

No annotations are provided, and the description is inaccurate about a query parameter. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, rate limits, or what happens when list is empty.

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 short but contains a typo ('a specific a query'). It is not overly verbose, but could be more accurate and structured.

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?

Without output schema or annotations, the description fails to explain return values or behavior. It is incomplete for a tool with one parameter and potential search functionality.

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 parameter 'listId' is described minimally, but the description contradicts the schema by implying a query parameter. While schema coverage is 100%, the description adds confusion rather than clarity.

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 says 'Search for bookmarks matching a specific a query' but the input schema only has 'listId', no query parameter. This is misleading and does not clearly state the tool's function of retrieving bookmarks within a list.

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 on when to use this tool versus siblings like 'search-bookmarks' or 'get-bookmark'. The description does not differentiate usage context.

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