get_dashboard_embeddable

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only reveals an admin access requirement, but omits other important traits such as output format, pagination, rate limits, or authentication needs. This is insufficient for a mutation-free listing tool.

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 a single sentence of six words, directly stating the tool's action, resource, and access restriction. No superfluous information is present; every word earns its place.

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 (listing, no output schema, minimal parameters), the description covers the core purpose and access constraint. However, it lacks information on the return format (e.g., list of dashboard objects) or any filtering capabilities, which would improve completeness for an agent.

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 a single parameter 'input' with no defined properties, and the schema description coverage is 0%. The description adds no explanation of the parameter's purpose or expected structure, leaving the agent with no useful guidance beyond the schema itself.

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 verb (List), resource (dashboards available for embedding), scope (all), and access restriction (admin only). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list_dashboards (all dashboards) and list_embeddable_cards (cards, not dashboards).

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 implies usage context by specifying 'admin only' and the specific purpose of listing embeddable dashboards. However, it does not explicitly mention when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_dashboards or get_embed_dashboard, leaving some room for ambiguity.

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