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

Annotations already establish read-only, open-world, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful context that logs are fetched over SSH from the project server, but omits auth requirements, rate limits, log time range, and whether logs are streamed or returned as a snapshot.

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?

The description is compact and front-loads the action and resource. The '[scope: read]' tag is slightly redundant with annotations but does not disrupt clarity or add meaningful waste.

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 read tool with rich annotations and a fully documented schema, the description covers what is fetched and how it is accessed. It does not describe return format, log timeframe, or limits, but the tool is simple enough that these are 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?

The single parameter is fully documented in the schema, including that project_id comes from cloudhosting_list_projects. The description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond the project server context, so the 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 (Fetch) and resource (container logs), plus the source (project server over SSH). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling status, project, deploy, and pricing tools that do not return logs.

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-to-use guidance or alternatives are provided. It does not say whether this should be used for debugging, auditing, or how it relates to tools like cloudhosting_get_project_status or cloudhosting_list_deploys, so the agent must infer usage from the name.

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