dotloop_list_tasks

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

No annotations; description only states 'list', implying a read operation but does not disclose pagination, ordering, or empty result behavior. Minimal behavioral disclosure.

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 extremely concise (one sentence), but it lacks necessary context. It is not front-loaded with useful information beyond the action.

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?

With 3 required parameters, many siblings, and no output schema description, the tool description is incomplete. It does not explain what a task list is, how to use the IDs, or what the response contains.

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 0%; description adds no meaning to parameters (profile_id, loop_id, tasklist_id). Does not explain how to obtain these IDs or their role.

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 states it lists tasks in a task list, which is a clear verb+resource. However, it does not distinguish from siblings like dotloop_get_all_tasks_in_loop or dotloop_get_completed_tasks, making the purpose slightly ambiguous.

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. The description lacks any context about prerequisites, filtering, or when not to use it.

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