clickup_chat_channel_followers

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

No annotations provided. Description correctly indicates it's a read operation returning user objects, but does not disclose permissions, rate limits, or any side effects. Adequate but minimal.

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?

Two sentences, no extraneous information. Action is front-loaded with 'List the users...' and the key distinction is provided succinctly.

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 list tool with two parameters and no output schema, the description covers purpose, parameter origins, and what to expect in the return. Could be improved by mentioning if pagination is supported, but overall sufficient.

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?

Both parameters are described in the schema with 100% coverage. The description adds valuable context on how to obtain the IDs from other tools (clickup_chat_channel_list, clickup_workspace_list) and notes the default workspace behavior.

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?

Clearly states the verb 'list', the resource 'users who follow a ClickUp Chat channel', and distinguishes from the sibling tool 'clickup_chat_channel_members' by noting that followers are a subset of members.

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?

Provides context that followers are a subset of members, helping distinguish from the sibling tool. However, lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance beyond this comparison.

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