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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden and does an excellent job disclosing behavioral traits: it explains the non-blocking nature ('without pausing execution'), what gets recorded (arguments, return values, call stacks), persistence behavior ('survives page navigation'), data collection mechanism ('collected Python-side via console events'), and data retrieval method ('Data can be retrieved with get_trace_data').

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 perfectly structured and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core purpose, subsequent sentences add crucial behavioral details, and the parameter documentation is organized in a clear 'Args' section. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words.

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 complex tool with 6 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description provides complete coverage: purpose, behavior, parameter semantics, and output format ('dict with status and the target function path'). The mention of 'get_trace_data' for retrieving actual trace data appropriately delegates that detail to the sibling tool.

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?

Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description provides comprehensive parameter documentation in the 'Args' section, explaining each parameter's purpose, defaults, and usage examples (e.g., function_path examples like 'XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open'). This fully compensates for the schema's lack of descriptions.

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 specific action ('Trace all calls to a function without pausing execution') and resource ('function'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'hook_function' or 'trace_property_access' by focusing on function call logging rather than hooking or property access tracing.

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 clear context for when to use this tool (for recording function invocations) and mentions 'get_trace_data' as the complementary tool for retrieving results. However, it doesn't explicitly state when NOT to use it or compare it to alternatives like 'hook_function' or 'set_breakpoint_via_hook'.

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