List Unfired Chekhov Guns

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full transparency burden. It adds useful conceptual context by defining 'unfired' as planted but unresolved, but does not disclose any other behavioral traits such as output format, ordering, or side effects (likely none). This is adequate for a simple listing but not rich.

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 concise sentence in the title and one explanatory phrase in the description. It is front-loaded with the action 'Liệt kê tất cả' and contains no redundant or filler 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?

The tool has no output schema, so the description should compensate by explaining the return structure. It explains the semantic filter but does not mention what fields or format the list will contain. Given the simplicity of the tool, this is a moderate gap.

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 zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds semantic value by clarifying what 'unfired' means, which helps the agent understand the scope of the listing despite no schema fields to explain.

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 uses the verb 'liệt kê' (list) with a specific resource ('unfired Chekhov guns') and defines the key term as 'details planted but not yet resolved,' clearly distinguishing it from analysis siblings like story_stats or story_query_context.

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 implies the tool lists unfired Chekhov guns but provides no explicit guidance on when to prefer it over similar analysis tools such as story_query_context or story_stats. No alternatives are mentioned, so the usage context is only partially clear.

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