samsara_get_driver_safety_events

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It only states 'Get safety events', which implies a read operation, but fails to disclose authentication requirements, rate limits, pagination, or what happens when no events are found. The behavioral disclosure is minimal.

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 sentence of 13 words, which is concise, but it lacks structure. It is front-loaded with the purpose, but every sentence earns its place only minimally. It could be slightly expanded to include key details without becoming verbose.

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 has 3 required parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, error handling, or any constraints. For a simple data retrieval tool, more context is needed for the agent to use it correctly.

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 0%, meaning the parameters have no descriptions in the schema. The tool description does not add any meaning beyond the parameter names (driverId, startTime, endTime). It does not explain the format (e.g., ISO 8601 for times), constraints, or relationships between parameters.

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 clearly states the verb 'Get', the resource 'safety events', and provides examples (harsh braking, acceleration, speeding). It also specifies the scope 'for a driver', which distinguishes it from sibling tools that deal with vehicles, routes, or webhooks.

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 given on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Siblings like 'samsara_get_driver' and 'samsara_get_driver_hos' exist, but the description does not differentiate them. No prerequisites, exclusions, or usage context is provided.

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