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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behavioral traits: it retrieves records (implying read-only), and the 'clear' parameter can delete logs after retrieval (a destructive side effect). However, it lacks details on rate limits, authentication needs, or what happens if no records exist. The mention of clearing adds value beyond a basic read operation, but more context would improve transparency.

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 appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the purpose clearly, followed by structured sections for Args and Returns. Each sentence earns its place by providing essential information without redundancy. It could be slightly more concise by integrating the sections, but overall it's efficient and well-organized.

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 no annotations, 0% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is moderately complete. It explains the tool's purpose, parameters, and return type ('dict with access records and count'), but lacks details on the return structure, error handling, or dependencies like trace_property_access. For a logging tool with potential side effects (clearing), more context would help, but it meets minimum viability.

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 schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds meaning for both parameters: 'property_filter' is explained as an 'Optional substring filter for property names,' and 'clear' as 'If True, clear the log after retrieval.' This clarifies their purposes beyond the schema's titles. Since there are only 2 parameters and the description covers them adequately, a score of 4 is appropriate, though it doesn't detail format or examples.

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 the tool's purpose: 'Retrieve property access records collected by trace_property_access.' It specifies the verb ('retrieve') and resource ('property access records'), and mentions the dependency on trace_property_access. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this tool from siblings like get_console_logs or get_trace_data, which might also retrieve logs or traces, though the specific focus on property access helps somewhat.

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 trace_property_access as the source of records, implying usage after that tool, but doesn't specify prerequisites, exclusions, or compare it to other logging tools like get_console_logs or get_trace_data. This leaves the agent without clear context for selection among siblings.

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