list_dex_colos

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

With no annotations, the description bears the full burden, and it only restates the operation. It does not say whether this is account-scoped or zone-scoped despite requiring account_id, nor does it disclose pagination, filtering, or what a colocation record represents.

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?

It is one short sentence with no redundancy, so it earns points for brevity, but it is closer to under-specification than deliberate conciseness; there is no front-loaded context.

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?

A single ambiguous phrase with no output schema, no annotations, and no behavioral context is inadequate. An agent cannot tell what DEX colocations are, what data comes back, or how this relates to the dozen other DEX tools.

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% and the only parameter, account_id, has a straightforward 'The account ID' description. The tool description adds nothing beyond the schema, but because the schema already fully covers the single parameter, the baseline 3 applies.

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 'List DEX colocations' gives a verb and a resource, but 'DEX colocations' is domain-specific and never expanded. Among many sibling list tools, I cannot tell what a colocation is here (Digital Experience monitoring locations? Magic Transit sites?), so it does not distinguish this from list_dex_tests_overview, list_dex_rules, etc.

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 choose this over the many other DEX-related list endpoints or the equally terse sibling tools. It does not mention account/zone scope, prerequisites, pagination, or alternatives.

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