Search product templates by page

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds one genuinely useful behavioral fact beyond the annotations: no authentication is required. It says nothing about pagination mechanics, result caps, or rate limits.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core operation and the distinguishing pagination trait, then the access constraint. No filler or repetition of the title.

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?

There is no output schema, and the description says nothing about what a page returns, page size, total counts, or how an agent knows it has reached the last page. For a paged search tool, that leaves a real gap, though the parameter schema and annotations cover the rest.

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 100%, so the schema already documents page (1-indexed), query format, and the account label. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond the word 'pagination', so the baseline 3 applies.

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 specific verb and resource ('Search product templates') plus the distinguishing modifier 'with pagination', which separates it from siblings like search_product_templates and search_product_templates_grouped. It stops short of explicitly contrasting the paged vs. non-paged variants, but an agent can still identify the operation.

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 gives no when-to-use guidance and never references the numerous sibling search/list variants (search_product_templates, search_product_templates_grouped, list_product_templates_paged). It states only that the endpoint is public, which is context, not selection guidance.

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