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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safe-read profile is covered structurally. The description adds 'Paged' and the underlying endpoint GET /sales_orders, which is useful for understanding behavior, but says nothing about authentication, rate limits, default ordering, or whether any filtering is supported.

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?

Three short fragments, front-loaded with the resource and its fields before the pagination and endpoint notes. Nothing extraneous, though the telegraphic style borders on under-specification rather than tightness.

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 zero-required-param paged list tool, the definition covers what the records contain and how pagination works via the schema. With no output schema, however, the agent gets no sense of the response envelope, pagination metadata, or how to narrow a potentially large result set.

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 100% and both parameters are documented in the schema, including the useful hint to use next_page from the previous reply. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond that, so the baseline of 3 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?

The name plus description clearly indicate a list operation over sales orders, and the field list (customer, dates, status, totals) tells the agent what each record contains. It does not explicitly distinguish itself from near siblings like jurnal_list_sales_invoices or jurnal_list_purchase_orders, relying on the noun 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 choose this over jurnal_list_sales_invoices, jurnal_list_sales_quotes, or jurnal_list_purchase_orders, nor any statement of exclusions or prerequisites. The only call context given is the implicit 'it's paged'.

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