list_quota_groups

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

Annotations already indicate read-only nature. The description adds context about membership and multiple-match behavior but fails to mention pagination behavior despite pagination parameters (pageSize, skipToken) existing in the schema.

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?

Single, concise sentence that is front-loaded with the core action and includes relevant details. No 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?

No output schema is provided, so the description must convey the return value. It mentions 'complete quota-group definitions' but lacks specifics on the structure or fields, leaving the agent partly uninformed.

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 has 100% description coverage, so parameters are already documented. The description does not add further semantic detail beyond what the 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 tool lists complete quota-group definitions for a survey, including membership and multiple-match behavior, differentiating it from siblings like list_quotas and get_quota_group.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_quotas or get_quota_group. The context among siblings implies its purpose, but direct comparisons are missing.

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