drp_alert

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behaviors such as read-only nature, pagination semantics, auth requirements, and what data is returned. The description provides none of this; it only names variables and gives an opaque example. The 'after' and 'first' parameters suggest pagination but the description never says so explicitly.

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 brief and front-loaded with the core action ('query drpAlert'), followed by variables and an example. Every line is compact, but the terseness sacrifices necessary detail, making it more under-specified than truly concise.

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?

No output schema, no annotations, and no explanation of return values, pagination behavior, or how the variables interact. The example shows 'after' and 'first' like typical GraphQL pagination, but the purpose of 'after1' and 'first1' is unclear. Given the rich set of sibling tools, this description is insufficient for an agent to understand what the tool does or how to invoke it correctly.

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 input schema has 100% coverage but the descriptions are unhelpful (e.g., 'GraphQL: String'). The description at least lists the variables and shows an example with plausible values, offering some context for after/first as pagination cursors and by as a filter object. However, it omits customer_slug and doesn't explain parameter semantics beyond the example.

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 states it queries drpAlert (the GraphQL query name), but it doesn't explain what this returns or how it differs from sibling tools like drp_alerts or other alert operations. It's a step above a tautology because it identifies the underlying query, but lacks any functional scope or result description.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus drp_alerts or other alert-related siblings. No mention of prerequisites, typical use cases, or exclusions. The description only provides variable names and an example, leaving the agent to guess its place among many alert tools.

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