Vibecheck Context

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds useful ordering (newest first), a completion filter, and an inter-tool dependency hint ('when status requests it'), but no return format, volume, or rate 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?

Two tight sentences with the read operation and ordering front-loaded; the second sentence adds usage context without padding. Slightly terse on what 'replenish the feed' concretely means, but no wasted words.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and with no parameters the description's burden is low. It covers purpose, ordering, and a usage trigger adequately, though the 'replenish the feed' mechanic remains undefined.

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?

Zero parameters, so the schema carries nothing to mis-describe and the baseline is 4. There is no parameter surface for the description to compensate for.

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 verb (read) and resource (recent completed check-ins for this linked agent) with ordering detail (newest first). It distinguishes itself partly from siblings by scoping to 'completed check-ins' and 'contextual signals', though it never explicitly contrasts with get_vibecheck_status or get_vibecheck_result.

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?

Provides implied usage ('Use the outcomes as contextual signals and replenish the feed when status requests it'), which ties invocation to a status-driven workflow. However, it names no alternative sibling and gives no explicit when-not-to-use condition.

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