getStarTransactions

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It does add useful behavioral detail: the call is a read-style operation ('Returns') and results are ordered chronologically, with a named success result type. However, it does not mention error behavior, auth requirements, pagination effects, or whether the result can be empty.

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 two short sentences with the main action front-loaded. The second sentence slightly repeats the word 'returns' but earns its place by naming the success result type, which is valuable given there is no output schema.

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 operation with no required parameters and a fully documented parameter schema, the description is nearly complete: it states the resource, ordering, and success return type. It could be improved by clarifying what a StarTransactions object contains, since no output schema exists, but this is not critical for selecting and invoking the tool.

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% and both optional parameters (limit, offset) are individually documented in the input schema, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-specific semantics, but none are needed because the schema already explains the accepted range and default for limit and the behavior of offset.

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 clearly states the action ('Returns'), the resource ('the bot's Telegram Star transactions'), and an ordering property ('chronological order'). It does not explicitly distinguish it from sibling star-related tools like getMyStarBalance or getBusinessAccountStarBalance, so it falls just short of full differentiation.

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 guidance is given about when to use this tool versus the many sibling tools that also involve Telegram Stars, such as getMyStarBalance, getBusinessAccountStarBalance, or refundStarPayment. The description states only what the tool does, not when it should be preferred or when an alternative would be appropriate.

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