ncloud_wms_list_monitors

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

The description discloses this is a listing operation and mentions 'all' scenarios, implying no filtering. The readOnlyHint annotation already covers the safety profile, so minimal additional behavioral context is added beyond what the annotation provides.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence with no redundant information. Every word contributes to understanding the tool's purpose.

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?

For a zero-parameter, read-only list operation, the description conveys the primary purpose adequately. It lacks notes on pagination, return format, or permission requirements, but given the tool's simplicity, the description is reasonably complete.

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 tool has zero parameters, so the schema is trivially complete. The description adds the nuance that it lists 'all' scenarios, which is the only semantic detail beyond the empty 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?

The description clearly states the tool lists all Web Service Monitoring (WMS) scenarios, using a specific verb-resource pair. It distinguishes from sibling get/update tools like ncloud_wms_get_monitor and ncloud_wms_set_status.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like ncloud_wms_get_results or ncloud_list_monitor_groups. It simply states the action without context, exclusions, or alternative references.

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