action1_list_endpoints

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

No annotations exist. The description describes a read operation without side effects. It does not disclose potential permissions or rate limits, but the tool's simplicity minimizes risk.

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 concise sentences: first states purpose and return fields, second gives a usage hint. No unnecessary words.

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?

The description lists key return fields and mentions the prerequisite. It could mention limit pagination behavior, but the schema already details the limit parameter. Adequate for a simple list 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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minor value by referencing 'action1_list_organizations' for the organization_id, but does not elaborate beyond the 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 states 'List all endpoints' with a specific verb and resource, and lists return fields. It implies distinction from sibling 'action1_get_endpoint' which likely fetches a single endpoint, but does not explicitly differentiate.

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?

It provides a prerequisite: 'Use the organization id from action1_list_organizations.' However, it lacks guidance on when not to use this tool or alternatives for filtering or detailed queries.

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