odoo_list_translatable_fields

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 discloses the output structure (translate type, field type, label, help) but does not explicitly state that it is read-only or mention potential side effects. The behavior as a listing tool is generally safe, but more explicit transparency would improve this score.

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: first states purpose and output, second provides usage guidance. No redundant information, well-structured for quick comprehension.

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 simple input schema (2 params, 1 required) and no output schema, the description adequately explains what the tool does and returns. It could mention error handling or non-existent models, but for its complexity it is fairly complete.

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 50% (only 'model' described). The description adds value by explaining the model parameter context (e.g., 'blog.post') and the overall purpose, but does not add information for the 'connection' parameter. It partially compensates for the schema gap but not fully.

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 translatable fields on an Odoo model, specifies the per-field return values (translate type, field type, label, help), and provides model examples, distinguishing it from sibling tools like odoo_fields_get (all fields) and odoo_get_field_translations (existing translations).

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 explicitly says 'Use this to discover which fields...can be translated,' giving clear usage guidance with concrete model examples. It does not mention when not to use or alternative tools, but the context of sibling tools provides differentiation.

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