get_my_recent_confluence_pages

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral burden. It clearly explains the matching rule (creator or last modifier), but it does not define 'recently', specify ordering, or mention permission-based visibility. This is acceptable for a simple read-only list but not richly transparent.

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?

Two concise sentences with no filler. The core scope is front-loaded in the first sentence, and the second sentence adds a useful precision about creator vs. last modifier.

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 list tool with no required parameters and a fully documented schema, the description is mostly complete. The main gaps are the lack of a definition for 'recent' and the absence of ordering or pagination behavior details, but an agent can still invoke it correctly.

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 description coverage is 100%, so limit, start, and spaceKey are already fully documented. The tool description adds no new parameter-specific meaning, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 uses a specific verb ('List'), a precise resource ('pages'), and a clear scope ('recently created or updated by the current user'). It further sharpens the scope by stating 'Returns pages where you are the creator or last modifier,' which distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_pages_created_by_user.

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 makes the usage context explicit: use this when you need pages the current user created or last modified. It does not name alternatives or exclusions such as search_pages_by_user_involvement, so it stops short of full when-not guidance.

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