merit_list_fixed_assets

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the operation type and explicitly says 'No filters,' which is helpful, but it does not mention pagination, response format, authentication requirements, or the potential size of the returned dataset. For a simple read-only list this is minimally adequate but not fully transparent.

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 states the action, resource, endpoint, and a key constraint. Every word earns its place, and there is no redundancy or wasted context.

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 tool with no output schema, the description is nearly complete: it names the resource, gives the endpoint, and explicitly states the lack of filters. It could add a note about response shape or pagination, but the absence of those details is a minor gap given how simple this tool is.

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 is empty, and the description reinforces this by stating 'No filters,' which explains why no parameters are accepted. With zero parameters there is little semantic work to do, and the description adds just enough meaning beyond the empty schema.

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 uses a specific verb ('List') and a clear resource ('Merit Aktiva fixed assets'), and also includes the exact endpoint ('POST /api/v2/getfixassets'). It is immediately distinguishable from sibling tools like merit_list_fixed_asset_locations and merit_create_fixed_assets.

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 phrase 'No filters' clearly tells the agent that this tool returns the full, unfiltered set of fixed assets, which is useful context for when to call it. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, but the resource-specific naming and clear scope make the usage context fairly clear.

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