vechainstats_get_transactions_out

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It mentions pagination, which is useful, but does not disclose whether transactions are limited to confirmed ones, whether sorting defaults apply, or any rate limits or errors. The read-only nature is implied by 'Get' but not explicitly confirmed.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no redundant words. Every word contributes meaning: it identifies the action, the resource, the filter, and a key feature (pagination).

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?

The description covers the core functionality but lacks detail about the return format or fields, and there is no output schema. For a simple read tool with pagination, it is minimally viable, but it does not explain what the response contains or any edge cases like empty results or invalid addresses.

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 already provides a 100% description coverage for all three parameters (address, page, sort). The description adds only a general mention of 'pagination,' which aligns with the page parameter but does not add extra semantic detail beyond the schema.

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 a specific verb ('Get'), a resource ('outgoing transactions'), and a scope ('for an address'), with pagination mentioned explicitly. This distinguishes it from siblings like vechainstats_get_transactions_in, which would cover incoming transactions.

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 alternatives such as vechainstats_get_transactions_in. The description does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or complementary tools, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the tool name.

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