keycloak_get_client_sessions

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already establishes that this is a safe read operation. The description adds the 'active' qualifier, indicating it returns only live sessions, but it does not disclose pagination behavior or output shape beyond what the schema provides.

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?

A single sentence with no filler or redundancy. It communicates the core operation immediately and efficiently.

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 read-only list operation with a fully documented parameter schema, the description is sufficient to guide invocation. The main gap is the lack of any stated return-value shape, but that is somewhat mitigated by the simple 'list sessions' semantics and readOnlyHint.

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?

All four parameters have schema descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no extra parameter semantics beyond reinforcing clientUuid as the scoping identifier.

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 verb and resource: 'List the active user sessions for one client.' It clearly differentiates the client-scoped focus from user-focused tools like keycloak_get_user_sessions, though it does not explicitly name any sibling alternative.

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 wording implies this tool is for retrieving active sessions for a single client, but it provides no explicit when-to-use guidance, exclusions, or alternatives. Given the large sibling set, more direct routing would be helpful.

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