get_group_member_list

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits like caching, permissions, rate limits, or whether the list is real-time. For a read operation, minimal transparency is given.

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 very short and front-loaded with the main purpose. However, it is too sparse; a bit more structured detail (e.g., list format) would improve it without becoming verbose.

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?

Given no output schema and no annotations, the description should explain what the function returns (e.g., list of member IDs). It does not. Related siblings suggest this is a core tool, but the description is incomplete for full understanding.

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 description adds only a one-word description for the parameter (group_id: 群号). Schema coverage is 0%, so the description carries the burden, but it fails to explain format, constraints, or examples. It is barely more informative than the schema.

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 '获取群成员列表' (get group member list), which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings like get_group_member_info (single member) and get_group_list (list groups).

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There are many similar sibling tools (e.g., get_group_member_info, kick_member), and the description lacks any context about prerequisites, limitations, or when not to use.

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