List Of Change History Events For An Action Plan

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds that it returns paginated JSON with metadata, which is useful but does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond what annotations provide. No contradictions.

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 fairly concise but contains repetition ('List of Change History Events for an Action Plan' in both title and body) and a factual error. It front-loads the purpose but could be more streamlined.

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?

Since there is no output schema, the description should explain the response format. It claims the response is a paginated JSON array of Action Plans, which is incorrect (should be change history events). It also does not describe the fields within each event. Incomplete and misleading.

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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description mentions required parameters and pagination controls but does not add new semantics beyond the schema's parameter descriptions. No additional value.

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 correctly identifies the tool as listing change history events for an action plan, but then erroneously states 'Use this to enumerate Action Plans' and 'Returns a paginated JSON array of Action Plans,' which confuses the resource. The purpose is somewhat clear but undermined by this inconsistency.

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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions pagination and filtering but does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'change_history' or 'list_action_plans'. No exclusions or specific context are given.

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