Show Notes Logs

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, and idempotentHint, indicating safe, idempotent behavior. The description adds the endpoint path and notes it returns a JSON object. No contradictions with annotations. It does not disclose potential pagination behavior for the page/per_page parameters, which could be misleading for a single-resource retrieval.

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 three sentences long, front-loaded with the primary purpose. It includes the API section and endpoint, which adds context but is somewhat redundant. Overall, it is concise and efficiently communicates the essential information.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (single resource retrieval with well-annotated safety profile and full schema coverage), the description is mostly complete. However, it does not explain the effect of page and per_page parameters, leading to potential confusion about their applicability for a single record. The phrase 'Daily Log records' (plural) in the first sentence is slightly inconsistent with 'single Notes Log'.

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%, with each parameter described in the schema. The description reiterates the required parameters but adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema. It does not clarify the role of page and per_page in a single-resource context.

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 'Returns single Notes Log' and 'fetch the full details of a specific Daily Log records by its identifier', specifying the verb and resource. It implicitly distinguishes from list operations by focusing on a single record retrieval, but does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling 'list_notes_logs' tool.

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 lists required parameters and the API endpoint, providing context for usage. However, it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'list_notes_logs' for multiple records), nor does it state any preconditions or exclusions.

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