zia_list_auth_exempt_urls

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

The description explicitly states 'read-only', consistent with annotations (readOnlyHint=true). It discloses JMESPath filtering as a behavioral trait beyond annotations. No contradictions. Could mention if there are any rate limits or pagination, but adequate.

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 sentence that conveys purpose, read-only nature, and filtering support. No unnecessary words. Highly concise and structured.

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?

Given the simple tool with 2 optional parameters, read-only annotation, and presence of output schema (not shown but indicated), the description is fairly complete. It could mention what the output contains or if pagination exists, but overall sufficient.

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%, and the description adds little beyond schema descriptions. The query parameter description in schema is already detailed. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 verb (List), resource (ZIA authentication exempt URLs), and read-only nature. It distinguishes itself from sibling list tools by specifying the exact resource type and JMESPath filtering capability.

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 implies usage for listing auth exempt URLs and mentions JMESPath filtering for client-side filtering. It does not explicitly compare with alternatives, but the tool name and context make its purpose clear. A slight improvement would be to state when to use the query parameter.

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