list_charts

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered. The description adds only scope detail ('50+', ApexCharts and SVG) and discloses nothing about pagination, result size limits, or filtering behavior beyond 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?

Two compact segments with no filler, and the identifying alias is front-loaded. The bracketed stage tag is slightly cryptic but does not waste much space.

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 read-only list tool with complete parameter documentation and rich annotations, the description is broadly adequate; no output schema exists so return values need not be explained. It stops short of noting result volume or filtering combinations, leaving minor gaps.

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% and one enum is documented, so the schema already carries the parameter burden. The description adds no syntax, format, or aliasing detail (e.g., the query/search and id/componentId alias relationships) beyond what the schema spells out.

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?

States a specific verb+resource ('List and filter ... ApexCharts and SVG data visualization blueprints') and identifies itself as an alias of sibling basecoat_list_charts, which helps the agent distinguish it from basecoat_get_chart_blueprint. The odd '[STAGE 3]' prefix is scaffolding rather than purpose, but the core statement is clear.

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 when/when-not guidance. 'Alias of basecoat_list_charts' implicitly routes the agent, but there is no indication of when to pick this over get_chart_blueprint, search_components, or basecoat_list_charts, nor any prerequisite or workflow condition.

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