sophos_list_tenant_admins_paged

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic purpose and pagination support, but lacks details on authentication requirements, error handling, response format, or rate limits. The input schema partially covers pagination behavior via the page_key description, but overall behavioral transparency is insufficient.

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 with two sentences. The first sentence states the purpose, and the second explains the alias relationship. No redundant information. However, the parameter naming mismatch slightly detracts from clarity.

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?

Given the absence of an output schema, the description should provide some indication of the return format or pagination metadata. It does not. The tool's three parameters are well-covered by the schema, but the description lacks completeness regarding expected response or error conditions. It adequately differentiates from siblings but could be more thorough.

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% with each parameter described. The description adds the context of pagination support but uses different parameter names ('pageSize' and 'pageFromKey') than the schema ('page_size' and 'page_key'), causing a minor inconsistency. No additional semantic value beyond the schema.

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 administrators for a specific tenant with pagination support. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'sophos_list_tenant_admins' by being its alias that exposes pagination parameters. This provides a clear purpose and differentiation among many 'list' siblings.

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 implies that this tool is for paginated listings while the non-paginated version (sophos_list_tenant_admins) is for simple listings, but it does not explicitly state when to use which. No exclusions or alternatives are mentioned beyond the alias relationship.

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