merit_list_banks

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals the HTTP verb (POST) and that there are no filters, but it does not describe response format, pagination, authentication requirements, or whether banks and payment methods are returned together. For a simple read-only list operation, this is adequate but not rich.

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, front-loaded sentence that conveys the resource, endpoint, and filtering behavior with no wasted words. Every element 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?

For a zero-parameter list operation, the description provides the essential details: the resource, endpoint, and lack of filters. It is slightly thin on return-value details, but given the tool's simplicity and the absence of an output schema, nothing critical is missing.

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 tool has zero parameters and schema coverage is 100%, so there are no parameter ambiguities. The description reinforces this with 'No filters,' which adds practical confirmation that no input is needed.

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 a specific verb ('List'), a clear resource ('Merit Aktiva banks / payment methods'), and includes the exact API endpoint (POST /api/v1/getbanks). It also notes 'No filters,' making the scope explicit and distinguishing it from filtered list operations.

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 clearly implies when to use this tool: whenever an unfiltered list of Merit Aktiva banks or payment methods is needed. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusion conditions, but the zero-parameter, no-filters context makes usage unambiguous.

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