zia_get_atp_security_exceptions

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

The annotation readOnlyHint=true aligns with the 'Get' verb, making the read-only nature transparent. However, the description doesn't specify the output format or structure of the allowlist, leaving minor ambiguity about what exactly is returned. Overall, it is transparent enough for a simple getter.

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, concise sentence that conveys all necessary information without any redundancy. It is well-structured and directly to the point.

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 provides enough context by identifying the product (ZIA) and the specific resource (ATP security-exception bypass URL allowlist). It doesn't explain the contents or use case, but given the simplicity of the operation and the tool's read-only nature, this is sufficient. Slightly more context about the allowlist's purpose could enhance completeness, but it's not critical.

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 tool has no parameters, so there is nothing to describe. The empty parameter schema is fully covered by the description, which requires no further explanation. This is trivially complete.

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 clearly states the tool retrieves the ZIA ATP security-exception bypass URL allowlist. The verb 'Get' and specific resource 'ATP security-exception bypass URL allowlist' make the purpose unambiguous.

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 description indicates a direct read operation for the allowlist. While it doesn't explicitly compare with sibling tools, the specific resource and lack of parameters make the usage context clear. It could benefit from mentioning when this is preferred over other ZIA list tools, but it's still functional.

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