list_entity_submissions

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

Description adds 'recent' implying ordering but does not clarify ordering criteria or pagination behavior. Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so minimal added value.

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?

Single sentence, no fluff, but omits important details about parameters and behavior. Conciseness should not come at cost of completeness.

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?

No output schema, so description should indicate return structure. Does not mention pagination, ordering, or what 'recent entities' includes. Incomplete for a list tool with pagination parameters.

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?

Only 'entity_type' is implicitly explained as the filter. 'limit' and 'offset' are not described despite being crucial for pagination. Schema description coverage is 0%, so description should compensate but does not.

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 verb 'list', resource 'entities', filter by 'entity_type', and scope 'for the authenticated user'. It distinguishes from sibling 'list_entity_types' but not from similar list tools like 'retrieve_entities'.

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 like 'retrieve_entities' or 'submit_entity'. No when-not-to-use or prerequisites mentioned.

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