list_sprite_atlases

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

The description implies a read-only list operation, which is sufficient for a simple tool with no parameters. However, no annotations are provided to confirm behavior, and the description lacks details about scope (e.g., project-wide vs. folder-specific) or return format.

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?

A single sentence that is clear and concise with no superfluous information. It is appropriately front-loaded.

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 parameterless listing tool, the description is complete: it names the asset type and file extension. No output schema exists, but the return value is self-explanatory.

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 no parameters, and schema coverage is 100% (empty schema). The description adds context by stating what the tool lists, fulfilling the baseline 4 expectation for zero-parameter tools.

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 the tool lists Sprite Atlas (.spriteatlas) assets, specifying the resource type and file extension. This distinguishes it from sibling list_* tools that target other asset types.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many sibling list_* tools, the description should indicate typical use cases or exclusions (e.g., 'use this to find all Sprite Atlas assets').

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