log_time

Create a single time entry on a subtask for the current user. Requires permission to log time.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`date`	Yes	Date of the work (ISO 8601 format, e.g. 2026-01-15).
`text`	No	Optional description of the work performed.
`hours`	Yes	Number of hours worked (greater than 0 and at most 24).
`start_time`	No	Optional start time of day in 24-hour HH:mm (e.g. "12:00"). Set this when the user gives a specific time or a time range (and put the range length in 'hours'); the entry then runs from this time for 'hours'. Defaults to 09:00 when omitted.
`subtask_id`	Yes	Id of the subtask to log time against. All time entries are recorded at the subtask level.

A4/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It states the tool creates a time entry and requires permission, but does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, rate limits, or side effects like conflict handling. The description is adequate but not comprehensive.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise with two sentences that front-load the key action and resource. Every word serves a purpose with no redundancy, making it highly efficient for an agent to parse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description covers the main purpose, permission requirement, and target (subtask). However, it lacks information about the return value (no output schema), which would help an agent understand the result of the operation. Given the tool's simplicity, it is fairly complete but has a minor gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, and the schema already provides clear definitions for each parameter (e.g., date format, hours constraint, default start_time). The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already states, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action 'Create a single time entry', specifies the resource 'subtask', and identifies the scope 'for the current user'. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'start_timer' and 'bulk_create_time_reports' by focusing on a single entry on a subtask.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description mentions a prerequisite ('Requires permission to log time'), but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or what alternatives exist (e.g., 'bulk_create_time_reports' for multiple entries). The usage context is clear but lacks exclusion guidance.

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

B3/5.0

Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tools have overlapping purposes, e.g., create_time_report and log_time both create a single time entry with near-identical descriptions. There are also many similar getter/list tools that blur together, making it hard for an agent to select the right one.

Naming Consistency2/5

Most tool names use snake_case, but verbs are inconsistent: 'list' vs 'get' for similar operations, 'manage' combines create/update/delete, and 'use_favorite' is an outlier. This pattern reduces predictability.

Tool Count1/5

With 114 tools, the set is extremely large and far beyond a well-scoped server (typical 3-15). This overwhelms agents and suggests many tools could be consolidated or removed.

Completeness3/5

The tool surface covers a broad domain including customers, projects, tasks, time tracking, invoicing, and user management, but there are gaps like no list_users or direct user listing, and some operations seem redundant rather than filling missing functionality.
