get_sync_changes

Read-only

Fetch bounded changes and tombstones since cursor. Follow has_more; retain returned cursor.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`tag`	No	Lowercase slug; use an existing topic or tag.
`limit`	No	Maximum items per page. Follow next_cursor until absent.
`topic`	No	Lowercase slug; use an existing topic or tag.

A3.6/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context beyond annotations: it discloses that results are bounded, include tombstones, and require honoring has_more and retaining the cursor for continued sync. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

Two short sentences deliver the core operation and the key sync protocol with no filler. The main action is front-loaded, and every phrase ('bounded', 'tombstones', 'has_more', 'retain cursor') contributes essential information.

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?

Given the rich input schema, output schema, and read-only annotations, the description is mostly complete for a sync-pagination tool. It captures the essential cursor and has_more behavior; missing only a bit of higher-level context about when a sync session begins or how this relates to other sync-like tools.

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 each parameter already has meaningful descriptions (e.g., cursor says 'Copy returned next_cursor unchanged, keeping filters'). The description adds a high-level sync intent ('since cursor') but does not materially improve on the schema's parameter documentation, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the verb ('Fetch') and resource ('bounded changes and tombstones since cursor'), and the cursor-based sync intent is evident. It does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools like get_space_changes or list_knowledge_changes, but the 'sync' and 'cursor' focus make the purpose reasonably distinct.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description gives procedural guidance ('Follow has_more; retain returned cursor') but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_space_changes or list_knowledge_changes. No exclusion criteria or alternative tool names are mentioned, leaving selection decisions to the agent.

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