list_modifications_by_body

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

No annotations provided. Description includes cache behavior ('Cached 7d') but lacks other behavioral traits (e.g., read-only nature, rate limits). With no annotations, description leaves some gaps.

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, second adds caching info. No redundancy or wasted 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?

For a simple list tool with two integer params, the description covers purpose and caching. No output schema, but the context is sufficient for basic use. Minor omission of return fields.

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 100% with descriptions for both parameters. Description adds cache info but no additional parameter semantics beyond what schema provides.

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?

Description clearly states the verb 'list', resource 'modifications', and scope 'restricted to a body type' and 'generation'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tool 'list_modifications' which likely returns all modifications.

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?

Implied usage: use when modifications for a specific body type are needed. No explicit comparison or exclusion of alternatives like 'list_modifications'.

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