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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safe read-only nature is covered by structured data. The description adds value by describing what the history contains (status changes, edits, actor, timing), but says nothing about retention window, pagination, or result caps for a potentially long audit log.

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 tight sentence that leads with the core resource ('what happened with a lead') and lists the payload. Nothing is wasted, though the fragment style is terse rather than maximally informative.

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 two-param, fully-described, read-only tool with no output schema, the description is adequate but thin on the shape and limits of the returned history. An agent can call it correctly, but not anticipate the size or structure of the audit trail.

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 the schema even points to dosai_list_leads and dosai_list_projects for id provenance. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond that, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific resource (a lead's history) and enumerates its content: status changes, edits, actor and timestamp. An agent can distinguish this audit-trail tool from dosai_get_lead, which returns the lead's current state. However, it never names that sibling, so differentiation must be inferred.

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?

Usage is implied: you call this to see what happened to a lead over time. There is no explicit 'use this when you need history vs dosai_get_lead for current state' guidance, and no stated prerequisites beyond the two required ids.

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