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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds useful behavioral context: results are newest-first and are summaries rather than full requests. It also points to get_webhook_request for full detail, giving the agent a sense of the data shape without repeating annotation info.

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 sentence packs the action, scope, ordering, summary nature, and an alternative tool reference with no filler. The most important information is front-loaded and every clause earns its place.

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 simple read-only list operation with readOnlyHint and limit defaults in the schema, the description is mostly sufficient. The main gaps are the unexplained token parameter and the lack of any detail about what a 'summary' contains, but the reference to get_webhook_request partially compensates.

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 coverage is only 50%: limit is documented with min/max/default, but token has no description and the tool description does not explain it. The description adds no parameter-level meaning, leaving the required token parameter ambiguous.

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 description clearly states the action ('List'), the resource ('requests captured by a webhook URL'), and key characteristics ('most recent', 'newest first', 'summaries'). It also distinguishes itself from get_webhook_request, so an agent can tell them apart immediately.

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?

The description explicitly tells the agent when to use a different tool: 'use get_webhook_request for one full request.' This is a clear alternative and helps the agent decide between list and detail retrieval.

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