get_tasks_due_today

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

The description only states the basic function. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether it is read-only (likely) or what happens if no tasks are due today. Since no annotations are provided, the description should carry this burden but does not.

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 that is concise and front-loaded. It wastes no words, though the Chinese language may obscure structure for non-native readers.

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 no output schema, the description does not mention return format or pagination. For a simple list tool, it might suffice, but additional context would help, such as noting it returns a list of task objects.

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 tool has no parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to explain parameters, so it is adequate. No additional semantics beyond the schema are required.

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 it retrieves tasks due today, matching the tool's name. However, it does not differentiate from siblings like 'get_all_tasks' or 'get_overdue_tasks', missing an opportunity to clarify its specific scope.

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. For example, it could note that 'get_overdue_tasks' covers past-due tasks while this focuses on today only.

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