List projects in a company

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, establishing safety and idempotency. The description adds the authorization class 'board_or_agent' and the HTTP method GET, providing some behavioral context beyond annotations. However, no further traits like pagination, rate limits, or side effects are disclosed.

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 short (two sentences) and front-loaded with purpose. However, it is under-informative for the tool's needs, omitting parameter details and response expectations. While not verbose, it sacrifices completeness for brevity.

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 tool has an output schema and nested objects, the description could be more complete by mentioning the nature of the response or any defaults. It does not address that it returns all projects or any filtering. The openWorldHint suggests large output, but no pagination context is provided.

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 parameter 'companyId' in the input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not explain what it represents or how to obtain it. With no compensation from the description, the agent lacks the necessary context to correctly provide this parameter.

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 title and description clearly state 'List projects in a company', providing a specific verb and resource. Among sibling tools like pc_get_projects_by_id (single project) and pc_post_companies_by_company_id_projects (create), this tool is uniquely positioned as the listing endpoint, making its purpose 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?

The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks prerequisites, when-not-to-use context, or differentiation from sibling tools for project operations. Only the authorization class is mentioned, which is not usage guidance.

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