get_stack_frames

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

No annotations provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It only says 'Extract structured stack trace frames' and 'Optimized for debugging' but does not disclose any behavioral traits like error handling, permission needs, or output structure. The brevity hides important details.

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 very short (two sentences) with no filler. It is front-loaded with the purpose. However, the extreme brevity might sacrifice completeness, but for conciseness it is effective.

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?

With 4 parameters, 2 required, no output schema, and no annotations, the description lacks sufficient context. It does not explain what 'structured' means, how frames are ordered, or what happens if the event is missing. The agent would need additional information to use it reliably.

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?

Parameter descriptions cover all parameters (100% coverage) with default values and constraints. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, which already provides clear parameter details.

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 'Extract' and the resource 'stack trace frames from an event', and the phrase 'Optimized for debugging' adds context. It distinguishes from sibling tools which are mostly for issues, events, and releases, not specifically stack frames.

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, no mention of prerequisites or when not to use it. The description only states what it does without contextual usage advice.

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