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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry behavioral disclosure. It states that the tool only returns tool names/descriptions and explicitly disclaims being a prerequisite, strongly implying a non-mutating metadata lookup. It stops short of explicitly saying 'read-only/no side effects,' but the discovery-aid framing covers the main behavioral traits.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the core action and return value, followed by a clarifying disambiguation sentence. There is zero filler and every sentence earns its place.

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 one-parameter, no-output-schema discovery tool, the description covers what it does, what it returns, and its relationship to other tools (non-prerequisite). Given the low complexity, nothing essential is missing.

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%: the only parameter 'domain' has an enum with a detailed description for each value. The tool description adds no parameter-level information beyond 'by domain'/'selected domain,' so the schema carries the semantic weight — baseline 3 applies.

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 'Discover' and resource 'available Abnormal Security tools' scoped by domain, and specifies the return value ('tool names and descriptions'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools, which are operational (list/get/manage) rather than meta-discovery.

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?

Explicitly frames itself as a 'help/discovery aid' and states 'All tools are callable at any time' — making clear it is not a prerequisite. This gives useful context for when to call it and an explicit exclusion, though it does not name specific alternative tools or elaborate on when not to use it.

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