search_modules_channels

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

No annotations are provided. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the input schema; it mentions 'undocumented session endpoint' but does not disclose rate limits, access restrictions, or stability implications.

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?

Description is a single, concise sentence with no unnecessary words. However, it could be slightly more structured to improve scannability.

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 presence of many sibling search tools and multiple parameters, the description lacks guidance on when to use this tool and does not explain its role relative to alternatives. The 'undocumented' nature is mentioned but not elaborated.

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 100% with parameter descriptions in the input schema. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, meeting the baseline expectation.

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?

Description clearly states 'Search channels by name or topic', providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes this tool from many sibling search tools targeting other resources like messages or files.

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 alternatives such as conversations_list or other search_modules_* tools. The description lacks context for proper selection.

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