getTestRunTestParameterDefinitions

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states 'returns a list,' implying a read-only operation, but does not disclose authentication needs, rate limits, or any non-obvious behavioral traits. The parameters hint at pagination but are not explained in the description.

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 clear sentence, front-loaded with the key action and scope. It is efficient, though it could be slightly expanded to include usage hints without losing conciseness.

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?

Despite 7 parameters including pagination, filtering, and revision, the description is minimal. It does not explain the return structure, pagination behavior, or how the fields and include parameters affect results. No output schema exacerbates the gap.

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 100%, so each parameter's purpose is already documented. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as explaining the context of 'Test Parameter Definitions' or how to use advanced parameters like fields and include. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 returns a list of Test Parameter Definitions for a specified Test Run, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like getTestRunTestParameter or getTestRunTestParameters, which could cause confusion.

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. Siblings include getTestRunTestParameter and getTestRunTestParameters, but the description lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use information.

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