LicenseKeyInstances_Listalllice

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

No annotations exist. Description merely says 'List all' without disclosing pagination, rate limits, or any behavioral traits. Minimal transparency for a list operation.

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?

Extremely concise single sentence with no wasted words. However, given the tool's simplicity, this is appropriate. Slightly more structure (e.g., noting it returns all instances without filtering) could improve, but not required.

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?

Lacks output schema and annotations. Description should provide context about what a license key instance is or the response format. For a simple list, this might be borderline, but compared to siblings, it is incomplete.

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?

No parameters, so the description does not need to add param meaning. According to rules, 0 params sets a baseline of 4. The description is sufficient for the parameter-less 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?

Description clearly states 'List all license key instances', specifying the verb and resource. However, the name has a typo ('Listalllice'), which could cause confusion, but the description itself is unambiguous.

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 on when to use this tool vs. alternatives like 'LicenseKeyInstances_Retrieveali' or 'LicenseKeys_Listalllicensekeys'. No context or exclusions provided.

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