ghl_product_price_list

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful context that annotations do not: the Authority level ('Requires an Agency or Sub-Account token'), OAuth scope 'products/prices.readonly', and the v3 version header. It still says nothing about the response shape or rate limiting.

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?

Purpose and endpoint are front-loaded, and the auth/scope/pagination lines each carry real information. There is some redundancy in restating the title and quoting the API name in the lead sentence, but nothing is bloated.

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 read-only list tool with full schema coverage and complete annotations, the description supplies the credential and scope requirements an agent needs before calling. The only gap is that with no output schema, it never describes what a returned price record or pagination envelope looks like.

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 all five parameters are already documented in the schema, making 3 the baseline. The description adds only the framing that limit and offset are the pagination pair for paging through full result sets, and mentions filtering generally, which is marginal value over 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 names a specific verb and resource ('retrieving a paginated list of prices associated with a specific product') and states the endpoint GET /products/{productId}/price, so the agent knows exactly what it returns. It does not explicitly contrast itself with the sibling ghl_product_price_get (single price) or ghl_product_price_create/update, so it falls short of full sibling differentiation.

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 says results can be customized by filtering prices and paged via limit/offset, which implies the intended read/list use case. But it gives no explicit when-to-use versus ghl_product_price_get or ghl_product_list, and no exclusions or prerequisites beyond the token/scope line.

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