list_uploaded_chapters

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states it lists chapters, implying a read operation, but lacks details on pagination, ordering, or any side effects. The description does not address potential constraints or response behavior.

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 concise, consisting of two sentences that state the purpose and parameter. It front-loads the main action. However, it omits useful details without becoming overly verbose, earning a high score for brevity.

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?

Although an output schema exists, the description lacks completeness for a list operation. It does not specify ordering, filtering, or whether all chapters are returned. Given the absence of annotations and the tool's complexity, more contextual information is needed.

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 sole parameter 'publication_id' has no schema description (0% coverage). The description adds 'Publication UUID', which is marginally more specific than the schema's title 'Publication Id', but does not clarify format, validation, or usage context beyond the basic type.

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 'List all chapters uploaded to cwbe for a publication.' This specifies the action (list), resource (chapters), and scope (for a publication), effectively distinguishing it from sibling tools like delete_chapter or download_chapters.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks any indication of prerequisites, exclusions, or context for selection among siblings such as chapter_status or list_books.

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