get_objects

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavior. It does state the return value (list of objects plus a screenshot) which is helpful, but it does not explicitly say whether the operation is read-only or whether there are side effects, permissions, or other caveats. For a getter, this is a moderate disclosure.

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 concise, front-loaded with the main action, and includes a clear Args/Returns structure. Every sentence provides useful information without redundancy.

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?

With only one parameter, an existing output schema, and a straightforward purpose, the description is complete. It explains what to expect and how to invoke the tool. No critical context is missing.

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 schema has 0% description coverage for parameters, but the tool description includes an Args section explaining 'doc_name: The name of the document to get the objects from.' This fully clarifies the only parameter and exceeds 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?

The description clearly states 'Get all objects in a document' with a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes from sibling tools like get_object (singular) by indicating it returns all objects. It also explains the purpose ('to see what you can check or edit'), making it 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?

The description provides a clear use case: use this tool to retrieve objects for inspection or editing. It does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, but the context is sufficient for a simple tool with obvious applicability.

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