v1.0.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only restates the operation. It does not mention pagination behavior, default limits, ordering, return format, or whether 'all' is truly unbounded despite the page/limit parameters.
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, front-loaded sentence with no filler or redundancy. It states the operation and resource as efficiently as possible, earning its place despite being minimal.
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 paginated list operation with no output schema and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It fails to clarify pagination semantics, return structure, or the relationship to get_experience, leaving an agent without enough context to know whether 'all' respects the limit parameter.
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 0%, so the description must compensate for undocumented parameters. It does not explain how 'page' and 'limit' affect the result or reconcile 'all' with pagination. The parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, but the description adds no semantic value beyond 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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'List all work experience.' It is clear this is a collection operation, and the word 'all' loosely distinguishes it from the sibling get_experience, though it does not explicitly name that alternative or clarify the difference.
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 about when to use this tool versus get_experience or the other list tools. An agent must infer usage solely from the name and the word 'all'; there are no exclusions, conditions, or alternative recommendations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
