vk_photos_get_albums

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

With no annotations, description should disclose read-only nature, pagination, or authentication needs. Only states it 'returns a list', insufficient for behavioral understanding.

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?

Single sentence is concise and to the point. No wasted words, though it could be structured with front-loaded key info. Slight deduction for lack of additional structure.

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?

No output schema; description only says 'list of albums' without return field details. Adequate for a basic list but incomplete given the many sibling tools and lack of output structure.

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 coverage is 100% with inline descriptions. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, warranting baseline score of 3.

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?

Description clearly states it returns a list of photo albums for a user or community, distinguishing it from siblings like vk_photos_get (photos) and vk_photos_get_albums_count (count). Verb 'Returns' and resource 'list of photo albums' are specific.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like vk_photos_get_albums_count or vk_photos_get. Lacks context about typical use cases or exclusions.

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