sitebay_list_ready_made_sites

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool returns a list with descriptions, which is helpful, but lacks critical details such as whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires authentication, any rate limits, pagination behavior, or error handling. For a tool with no annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.

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 concise and front-loaded, with the first sentence clearly stating the purpose and the second providing return value information. Both sentences earn their place by adding value beyond the tool name. However, it could be slightly more structured by explicitly separating purpose from returns, but overall it's efficient with zero waste.

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's simplicity (0 parameters, no annotations, but with an output schema), the description is somewhat complete. It explains what the tool does and what it returns, but lacks behavioral context like safety or performance details. The output schema likely covers return values, so the description doesn't need to detail those, but it should address usage guidelines and transparency more thoroughly for a tool with no annotations.

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 input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter information is needed. The description doesn't add any parameter details, which is appropriate here. Since there are no parameters, the baseline score is 4, as the description doesn't need to compensate for any gaps in schema documentation.

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's purpose: 'List available ready-made sites for quick launches.' This specifies the verb ('List'), resource ('ready-made sites'), and context ('for quick launches'), making it easy to understand what the tool does. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'sitebay_list_sites', which might list all sites rather than just ready-made ones.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions 'for quick launches', which hints at a use case, but doesn't specify when to choose this over 'sitebay_list_sites' or 'sitebay_create_site', nor does it outline any prerequisites or exclusions. This leaves the agent without clear usage direction.

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