digikey_list_mylists

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety and reach are covered structurally. The description adds the useful detail that results are scoped to the authenticated user, but says nothing about pagination behavior despite the presence of a limit parameter, nor about ordering or what happens when the user has no lists.

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 filler or redundancy. It is appropriately sized for a simple list operation, though brevity here edges toward under-specification rather than disciplined conciseness.

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?

An output schema exists, so return value shape need not be explained, and annotations cover the read-only profile. What remains missing is any treatment of the limit parameter and pagination, which for a list endpoint with a default page size is a meaningful gap.

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%, so the single 'limit' parameter (default 50) is undocumented in both the schema and the description. The description never mentions limiting or pagination, leaving the agent to guess what the parameter controls and whether more results can be fetched.

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?

States a clear verb+resource (list MyLists) and scopes it to the authenticated user, which is more precise than the bare name. However, it offers no differentiation from the closely named sibling digikey_get_mylist, so an agent cannot tell from the description alone which one to pick for a single list vs. all lists.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus digikey_get_mylist or the other mylist siblings (validate, preview, apply, update_line, remove_line). The only implied context is that the user must be authenticated, which is inferred from 'authenticated user's' rather than stated as a precondition.

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