Get session log metadata

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, open-world, and non-destructive behavior, so the safety profile is well covered. The description adds little beyond restating the return scope and discloses no additional behavioral context such as authentication, rate limits, or edge cases.

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 and front-loaded, which is appropriate for such a simple tool. However, the first sentence exactly repeats the title, so one of the two sentences does not earn its place; only the second sentence adds substantive information.

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?

For a simple read-only metadata tool with strong annotations, this is minimally adequate: the required parameter and general scope are clear. It is incomplete, though, because there is no output schema to describe metadata fields, no error behavior, and no contrast with the list/content sibling 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 0%, so the description must compensate for the lone integer 'id' parameter. 'Single session recording' suggests the id selects a recording, but it never explicitly maps id to the session log or explains how to obtain a valid id. The single, self-descriptive parameter keeps this adequate.

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?

States a specific operation ('Get') and target ('session log metadata' / 'single session recording'), clearly indicating a single-item metadata fetch. It distinguishes reasonably from list and content siblings but does not explicitly name those alternatives, stopping short of a 5.

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 phrase 'single session recording' implies the tool is for one session log's metadata rather than listing all logs or fetching content. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, exclusions, or mention of related siblings such as list_session_logs or get_session_log_content.

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