Listing Deployers

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

Annotations already specify readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, indicating a safe, idempotent read operation. Description adds 'Perm: manage_endpoints', which is a behavioral constraint not covered by annotations, but does not contradict them.

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?

Description is concise with two sentences. The first sentence is slightly redundant with the title, but overall no wasted words. Could be more structured to front-load the purpose and permission.

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?

Despite 12 parameters including pagination, filtering, sorting, and output format, the description offers no high-level guidance on how to effectively use these. With an output schema present, return values are covered, but the description lacks completeness for complex parameter interactions.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all 12 parameters are already defined. The description does not add any additional meaning or usage context for parameters like os, filter, or cursor beyond what the schema provides.

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 'Lists all Action1 Deployer services in the specified organization' with verb 'Lists', resource 'deployers', and scope 'organization'. This distinguishes it from siblings like get_deployer (single item) and delete_deployer (destructive).

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_deployer for a single item or other list tools. No mention of pagination, filtering strategies, or prerequisites beyond the permission line.

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