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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered without the description. The description adds only the 'paginated' trait and the underlying GET path, which is modest value; it says nothing about ordering, total counts, or how paging behaves at the boundary.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the purpose, with no padding. The raw endpoint path is largely redundant with the tool name, which is the only minor 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 paginated read tool with no output schema, the description should say something about what paging returns or how to iterate; instead it only repeats 'paginated'. Annotations cover safety and the schema covers two of three params, so it is minimally viable but leaves the agent guessing about page semantics and response shape.

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 67%: hookId and limit are documented in the schema (including the max-100 cap), but the required 'page' parameter is undocumented anywhere. The description does not compensate, adding no semantics for page indexing or default behavior, so the baseline 3 for partial schema coverage 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+resource ('Get paginated data logs of a data hook'), which is more precise than the bare name and distinguishes it from the sibling get_log_data_paginated by scoping to a single hook. However, it never explicitly contrasts itself with the hook-less or signal-hook log siblings, so differentiation is implied by the name rather than stated.

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 prerequisites (e.g., that hookId must reference an existing data hook), and no pointer to alternatives such as get_log_data_paginated for all data logs or get_log_signal_hook_hookId_paginated for signal logs. The agent must infer the routing decision entirely from the tool name.

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