d365fo_get_profile_names

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

With no annotations, the description bears full transparency burden. It correctly indicates a read operation ('Get list'), but does not disclose any additional behavioral traits such as authentication needs, performance implications, or return format beyond a vague 'Dictionary with profile names'.

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 very short and to the point, with two efficient sentences. It could be slightly more structured, but for a simple no-parameter tool, it is appropriately concise.

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 tools related to profiles, the description lacks context about how this tool fits in. It does not clarify its uniqueness or relationship to 'd365fo_list_profiles'. The output schema exists but its details are not visible; the description's vague return type is marginally adequate.

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 input schema has no parameters, so the description cannot add value beyond the schema. Baseline score of 4 is appropriate as there are no parameters to explain.

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 the tool retrieves all D365FO environment profile names, which is a specific operation. However, the sibling tool 'd365fo_list_profiles' also deals with profiles and the description does not differentiate between them, slightly reducing clarity.

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 is provided on when to use this tool over alternatives like 'd365fo_list_profiles' or others. The description lacks context for appropriate usage.

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