C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is fully covered by structured data. The description adds nothing behavioral on top of that — no mention of ordering, completeness of the list, or whether it includes only accepted key events versus all key events.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler, which is appropriately tight for a one-parameter listing tool. It is efficient, though its brevity is also part of what leaves the gaps noted elsewhere.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

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 described, and the read-only annotations cover safety. The minimum needed to invoke the tool correctly is present, but the absence of sibling differentiation and any parameter context leaves it only just adequate.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% and the single aop_id parameter carries no title-level explanation beyond 'Aop Id'. The description hints that aop_id scopes the listing to an AOP but adds no format, source, or lookup guidance to compensate for the coverage gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('List key events') and the scoping entity ('for an AOP'), so the agent knows exactly what it returns. It does not distinguish itself from siblings such as get_key_event or list_kers, which an agent could easily confuse for the same data.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no prerequisite or ordering note, and no named alternative. The description never explains how this differs from get_key_event or why an agent would call this instead of fetching a single key event.

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