List VNyan node graphs

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

No annotations provided, but description discloses source (disk) and behavior (always readable). It does not mention rate limits or auth, but for a read-only list, this is adequate.

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?

Single sentence, front-loaded with action, no wasted words. Perfectly concise.

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?

With no output schema, the description could elaborate on return format, but it covers purpose and source adequately for a simple list 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?

No parameters (0 params), so baseline 4. Description adds no parameter info, which is acceptable given no parameters to document.

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 verb 'Lists' and resource 'node-graph tabs', specifying the file pattern and returned fields (name, active flag, node count). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like vnyan_graph_read.

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?

States 'Source: disk, always readable', implying no special permissions needed. While it doesn't explicitly compare to siblings, it provides sufficient context for a simple list operation.

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