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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful context about what the records contain ('date and user id') and the underlying endpoint 'GET /orders_logs', but says nothing about pagination flow or result volume, which matters for a 7-parameter log listing.

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 front-loaded sentences: purpose first, filters second, with the endpoint as a short trailing tag. The action-type enumeration is long but genuinely informative; the bare 'GET /orders_logs' adds marginal value and is the only wasted token.

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 read-only, fully schema-documented list tool with no output schema, this covers purpose, scope and filterable dimensions adequately. It stops short of describing the record shape beyond date/user id, but nothing an agent needs to invoke it correctly is missing.

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%, so sort, limit, offset, orders, date_from/date_to and operation_tag are already fully documented. The description only restates the filter dimensions at a high level and adds nothing on formats (e.g., date syntax for date_from/date_to) beyond the schema.

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 uses a specific verb+resource framing ('The audit log of order actions') and enumerates which action families are covered (create, edit, status change, delete, merge, invoice, receipt). This makes it distinguishable from sellasist_list_orders and sellasist_list_order_notes, though it never names those siblings explicitly.

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?

'Filter by order ids, action type or date' implies the common retrieval patterns, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance versus list_orders, list_order_notes, or search_orders, and no stated exclusions or prerequisites.

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