List leases for an environment

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds value by specifying the exact HTTP method (GET) and endpoint path, plus the authorization class. No contradictions with annotations.

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 extremely concise—two sentences that front-load the primary purpose. No extraneous words, and every sentence provides useful information.

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 presence of an output schema and helpful annotations, the description is adequate but lacks explanation of the required parameter. For a single-parameter tool, this is a noticeable gap, though the output schema compensates for return value details.

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 description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain what the required 'id' parameter represents. The parameter name and context from sibling tools imply it is an environment ID, but the description itself fails to clarify that.

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 'List leases for an environment' which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like pc_get_environment_leases_by_lease_id (which retrieves a specific lease) by focusing on listing all leases for an environment.

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 includes authorization class information, but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to list all leases vs. get a specific lease). No exclusions or context cues are present.

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