get_playlist_videos

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Get all videos' and does not mention pagination, response format, authentication needs, or behavior when the playlist is invalid or 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 a single active sentence with no filler or redundant detail. It front-loads the verb and resource, making the tool's core purpose immediately visible.

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?

For a one-parameter read operation, the description plus schema is minimally sufficient for an agent to know what to pass. However, the lack of output schema, pagination details, and sibling routing leaves notable gaps in fully understanding the tool's behavior and selection context.

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 already covers playlist_id with a clear type and description ('Playlist ID or URL'), so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no additional parameter semantics, but the baseline of 3 applies because the schema carries the necessary 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 states a specific action ('Get all videos') and a specific resource ('a specific playlist'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like search_videos, get_video_details, and list_playlists. The intent is immediately understandable and unambiguous.

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?

There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool instead of alternatives such as search_videos or list_playlists. No preconditions, exclusions, or selection criteria are provided beyond the core statement of what the tool does.

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