Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds nothing beyond restating the REST path; it discloses no pagination behavior, ordering, or return shape for a tool whose whole purpose is paging.
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?
It is short and front-loaded, but the second sentence ('GET /api/v2/log/error/paginated') merely restates the HTTP endpoint and adds no selection value. Minimal but not wasteful enough to penalize heavily.
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 pagination tool with required page/limit params, no output schema, and no annotations about returns, the description should explain paging behavior or what a page contains. It offers none of that, leaving the agent under-informed.
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 only 50%: 'limit' is documented (max 100) but 'page' has no description in either the schema or the description. The description does not compensate for this gap or explain paging semantics at all.
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 and resource ('Get paginated error logs'), which is clearer than a bare name. However, it does not distinguish itself from close siblings like get_log_error_id or get_log_error_source_id, so an agent must infer the difference from the name alone.
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 guidance on when to use this versus get_log_error_id (single error) or the other paginated log endpoints. The only hint is the word 'paginated', which is not framed as an alternative-selection rule.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
