Returns:
    List of dicts with keys: ``name``, ``root_path``, ``method_count``,
    ``endpoint_count``.
    Empty list if no repositories have been indexed yet.

Behavior4/5

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

The description transparently details the return value (list of dicts with keys) and the edge case of an empty list if no repos are indexed. No annotations are provided, but the description is clear.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise: one sentence for purpose, one for return format. No unnecessary information, front-loaded with the core action.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given zero parameters and the presence of an output schema, the description covers all necessary information: action, return format, and edge case. Completely sufficient.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters exist, so baseline score of 4 is appropriate. The description does not add parameter info (none needed).

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description explicitly states 'List all indexed repositories with their stats,' providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools (e.g., list_branches, list_endpoints) by focusing on repositories.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives. However, the description clarifies its scope (all repos) and return format, which implicitly suggests using it for a broad overview.

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