domains_get_records_list

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile needs no restating. Beyond that the description adds nothing: no pagination behavior despite limit/offset, no default page size, no statement of result ordering or whether large zones are truncated.

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 text is short and front-loaded, but its brevity is under-specification rather than efficiency; the second line merely restates the operation as an HTTP route. Nothing is wasted because almost nothing is said.

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 five-parameter listing tool with no output schema and zero schema description coverage needs the description to carry pagination, filtering and sorting semantics. It provides none, so an agent cannot call it correctly beyond the required domainId.

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 0% and the description mentions only domainId via the URL template. The four optional parameters (sort, limit, filter, offset) are completely undefined — not their accepted syntax, filter fields, sort keys, nor units — leaving the agent to guess.

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?

'Domains get records list' names a verb and resource, and the appended 'GET /domains/{domainId}/records' confirms it returns the DNS records belonging to one domain. However, it offers no differentiation from siblings like domains_get_record or domains_get_record_types, so the agent must guess which one returns the collection.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites (e.g. domain must exist / be owned), and no mention of when to prefer domains_get_record or domains_get_record_types. The endpoint path weakly implies listing all records for a domain, but nothing is stated.

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