docuseal_list_submitters

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

The description says 'List all submitters' but the schema implies a default limit of 10, so it may not actually return all. It does not disclose pagination, return format, or authentication requirements. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden but fails to clarify key behaviors.

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 a single sentence with no unnecessary words, making it highly concise. However, the phrase 'all' may be slightly misleading, but that's a correctness issue rather than conciseness. It is well-structured and 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?

Given no output schema and no annotations, the description should explain the return format, default limits, and the meaning of 'all'. It fails to mention that limit defaults to 10, which is critical for an agent. The description is too sparse to be considered complete for this tool.

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?

The schema already covers all parameters with descriptions, giving 100% coverage. The description only reiterates 'optional filtering' without adding semantics beyond the schema. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 uses the specific verb 'list' and resource 'submitters', clearly indicating a read-only listing operation. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_submissions by focusing on submitters. The phrase 'with optional filtering' adds scope clarity.

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 like get_submitter or list_submissions. The description does not mention exclusions or preferred scenarios. An agent must infer usage from the tool name alone.

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