v0.2.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false. The description adds a valuable security caveat that contents are untrusted data, not instructions, but it does not explain pagination behavior or returned content structure.
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 two sentences, front-loads the core purpose, and adds the security warning without wasted wording. Every sentence carries useful information.
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 schema coverage is 0%, yet the description does not explain what an entry looks like or how contains/pagination affect results. Annotations cover safety, but the description is too thin for correct invocation of a four-parameter listing tool.
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%, and four parameters are undocumented in the schema. The description hints that 'one package' maps to the package parameter and 'paginate' maps to limit/offset, but it does not explain contains, pagination semantics, or required-package behavior.
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?
It states a specific verb and resource: 'List/paginate entries in one installed .gro ZIP package.' This makes clear it operates on entries inside a single package rather than listing packages, though it does not explicitly name the sibling alternatives.
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 explicit when-to-use or when-not guidance, and it does not mention when to use editor_read_entry or editor_read_member instead for single-entry reads. Usage is only implied by the stated purpose.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
