List Release Events

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

The description adds no behavioral context beyond the annotations. While annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, and idempotentHint, the description does not elaborate on aspects like pagination, ordering, or the nature of 'release-pulse events', which could aid agent understanding.

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?

The description is a single, clear sentence with no extraneous words. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded with the key action.

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?

Given the tool's domain (economic release events) and the presence of multiple sibling list tools, the description is too terse. It does not define 'release events' or clarify how this tool fits into the broader toolset, leaving the agent without sufficient context to choose it effectively.

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?

The input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description's phrase 'source-aware' hints at the source parameter but does not add new meaning 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 specifies the verb 'List' and the resource 'release calendar or release-pulse events', making the tool's primary action clear. However, it does not differentiate from sibling list tools like list_catalogue or list_economic_concepts, missing an opportunity to define what unique 'release events' are.

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of when-not-to-use, prerequisites, or comparison to sibling tools such as list_catalogue or list_economic_concepts.

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