sophos_list_tenant_permission_sets

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 does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, permissions required, rate limits, error handling for invalid tenant_id, or pagination. For a read-only listing tool, this lack of transparency is a significant gap.

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?

Two concise sentences with no filler. Every word adds value. The sentence structure is clear and front-loaded with the core action.

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 low complexity (1 required parameter, no output schema, no nested objects), the description covers the basic purpose and usage. However, it lacks behavioral details and does not describe output format or potential constraints, making it somewhat incomplete for an agent without annotations.

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 the parameter description 'Tenant UUID', so the schema already documents the parameter. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline of 3.

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 all permission sets at the tenant level, using the verb 'List' and specifying the resource 'permission sets' scoped to 'tenant level'. The purpose is further clarified by explaining that returned IDs are used when creating custom roles, which adds value and distinguishes it from sibling tools like sophos_list_permission_sets (likely at partner level).

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 provides a downstream use case ('Use the returned IDs when creating custom roles') but does not explicitly guide when to use this tool over alternatives like sophos_list_permission_sets or sophos_list_roles. The 'tenant level' qualifier implies differentiation but no explicit when-not or alternative references.

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