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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered elsewhere. The description adds no behavioral context of its own: nothing about default page size (schema default 30), cursor-based pagination flow, ordering, or the absence of results when no filters are supplied.

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?

A single short sentence with no filler, and the date scoping is front-loaded. Its economy comes at the cost of under-specification rather than verbosity, so it is efficient but thin.

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?

With 6 optional parameters, pagination via cursor, and no output schema, the description should at least convey that results are paginated and what a log record represents. The well-annotated schema covers most parameter meaning, leaving the description minimally adequate but with clear 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?

Schema description coverage is 83%, so the schema already explains to/from/project_id/cursor/search, and the description only echoes the date-range and project filters without adding format or interaction detail. Baseline 3 applies when the schema carries the explanatory load.

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?

The sentence identifies the resource (daily logs) and the primary scoping axis (date, optional project), but it is a verbless fragment that reads close to a restatement of the title 'List daily logs'. It never says that it returns a collection nor contrasts itself with the sibling get_daily_log, which retrieves a single log.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance: no mention that this is the discovery step before get_daily_log or update_daily_log, no statement that all filters are optional, and no exclusion of other list tools. The agent must infer usage entirely from the name and schema.

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