List Nodit Multichain APIs

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

Annotations already declare it read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive, so safety is covered. The one added behavioral fact, that chain names travel in the request body, genuinely helps an agent act on the results, but nothing is said about the shape or naming of the listed operations.

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 filler, with the core purpose stated first and the distinguishing trait second. Every clause contributes something.

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 zero-parameter listing tool, this is adequate but stops short of the one thing that matters most: what the returned entries look like and how to go from a listed multichain operation to invoking one. The absence of an output schema puts that burden on the description, which doesn't carry it.

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?

There are zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate and the baseline is 4. The note about chain names appearing in the body is a small bonus, not a substitute for parameter documentation.

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?

A specific verb plus resource, 'Lists available Nodit Multichain API operations', and the second sentence scopes it further by explaining that each operation spans several chains in one request. That implicitly separates it from single-chain siblings like list_nodit_node_apis, though no sibling is named explicitly.

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 description implies this is a discovery step and nothing about when not to use it. It never points to the natural next step, call_nodit_multichain_api, nor explains why an agent would pick this over list_nodit_data_apis or list_nodit_webhook_apis.

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