get_imports

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

Without annotations, the description implies read-only behavior via 'List', but does not explicitly confirm side-effect-free operation. It does not disclose potential performance impact, permission requirements, or error conditions (e.g., if module not found).

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, efficient sentence that front-loads the purpose and key details. No filler or repetition.

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?

While the output is partially described (DLL name, function name, ordinal, IAT address), the description lacks details on ordering, pagination, or the exact structure of the response. Given no output schema, more comprehensive description of return format would be beneficial.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no extra meaning to the parameters beyond what the schema already provides; it only mentions output fields, which are not input parameters.

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 it lists imports for a module, specifying the output fields. It is specific about the resource (imported functions for a module) and verb (list), but does not differentiate from sibling tools like get_exports, though the tool's name already implies a focus on imports.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_exports or list_functions. The description does not mention prerequisites like ensuring the module is loaded or that sessionId must be valid.

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