analytics_track

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

With no annotations provided, the description bears the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'insert or update' but does not explain idempotency, overwrite behavior, side effects, or output. It also omits that the tool writes to a local SQLite file via 'db_path', which is important for the agent to understand.

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, achieving conciseness but lacking structure. It does not front-load the most critical information or provide any breakdown of parameters or use cases.

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 complexity (nested app object, many fields, output schema exists), the description is far too short. It fails to explain the relationship to the CRM, the analytics context, or how the tool fits into the workflow. The agent lacks essentials like what the output returns or how 'track' differs from similar tools.

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 the schema already documents parameters adequately. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides (e.g., 'The Application to persist' for the app parameter). 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 clearly states the action: 'Track (insert or update)' and the resource: 'an Application in the CRM.' It distinguishes from siblings like 'analytics_list_apps' (list) and 'analytics_update_stage' (stage-only update), though the term 'Track' is slightly ambiguous given the tool name 'analytics_track'.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of when not to use it, or which sibling tools are more appropriate for specific tasks (e.g., listing applications or updating only the stage). The description lacks any usage context.

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