Read run timeline

gate_run_timeline
Read-only

Returns one run's call metadata, approvals and approver names, recovery outcomes and delegated children; use it to reconstruct that session instead of gate_audit's project-wide calls or gate_run_tree's permission state. No bodies or query values. One run only; the project-wide log is gate_audit.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety is covered; the description goes further by enumerating the returned categories and disclosing an exclusion ('No bodies or query values'), which is meaningful privacy/scope context. It stops short of describing pagination behavior or result ordering, and the 'before' paging semantics live only in 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Two dense sentences, front-loaded with what is returned, followed by the exclusion and the sibling routing. Nothing is repeated from the schema and no sentence is filler.

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?

With no output schema, the description usefully enumerates the returned content, which is exactly what an agent needs to decide whether to call it. Pagination behavior and the meaning of the cursor are left entirely to the schema, so it is strong but not fully self-contained.

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 coverage is 100% and every parameter carries a description, including admin_key handling and the 500-event page cap, so the description adds little. The phrase 'One run only' reinforces run_id scoping but the cursor parameter 'before' is not elaborated on in the description.

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?

Opens with a concrete verb and resource ('Returns one run's call metadata, approvals and approver names, recovery outcomes and delegated children') and explicitly names the two siblings it is not, gate_audit and gate_run_tree. An agent can select this over its neighbors without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives an explicit use case ('use it to reconstruct that session') plus named alternatives and the conditions that select them: gate_audit for the project-wide log, gate_run_tree for permission state. The closing sentence repeats the scope boundary, leaving no ambiguity.

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