Apontar Horas Sem Tarefa (Avulso)

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

Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true, so the description's 'Cria' is consistent. The description adds a behavioral note 'IMPORTANTE: Sempre confirme os dados com o usuário antes de executar', which goes beyond annotations. No other traits like side effects or permissions are mentioned, but the core behavior is clear.

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 concise with two short paragraphs and a bullet list. Key information is front-loaded (purpose), and every sentence earns its place (usage comparison, required params, user confirmation note). No redundant text.

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 8 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the required parameters and provides usage context. It lacks mention of optional parameters and return value but is adequate for a tool with comprehensive schema descriptions. The 'IMPORTANTE' note adds safety guidance.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description lists required parameters and their purpose (e.g., 'use ekyte_list_workspaces'), which adds some value but does not significantly extend the detailed schema descriptions already present. Optional parameters like 'comment' and 'non_productive' are omitted from the description.

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 'Cria um apontamento de horas avulso (sem vincular a uma tarefa específica)', which uses a specific verb ('Cria'), identifies the resource ('apontamento de horas'), and distinguishes from the sibling 'ekyte_create_time_entry_with_task' by emphasizing 'without task'.

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?

The description provides context by comparing to a UI button and lists required parameters. It includes an important instruction to confirm data with the user. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over its sibling or alternatives, though the name and context hint at it.

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