List OtaKit client-reported events

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond them: results are bounded, detail text is opt-out via includeDetail, and that text is untrusted diagnostic data (a meaningful prompt-injection/safety caveat). It stops short of describing ordering or pagination behavior.

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?

Two compact sentences with no filler, and the scoping constraint is front-loaded. It is slightly under-specified for an 11-parameter tool, but nothing is wasted.

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 an 11-parameter list tool with no output schema, the description establishes scope, bounding, and the untrusted-detail caveat, which is adequate to call it. It omits result ordering and any pagination/continuation guidance, and offers nothing to distinguish it from sibling listing tools. Minimum viable.

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 all 11 parameters thoroughly, including includeDetail's default-on behavior and since's precedence over timeframe. The description's mention of includeDetail adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema. 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 says it lists a 'bounded filtered rollout timeline,' which conveys a read/listing operation but frames the resource as a 'timeline' rather than events. The second sentence ('raw text each device reported') is what actually reveals these are client-reported events, so clarity depends on inference. It does not differentiate from siblings such as get_release_health or list_audit_log.

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 statement of when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_release_health or list_audit_log. The only conditional guidance ('since takes precedence over timeframe') is a parameter interaction, not usage context. An agent gets no routing help.

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