nexterm_get_integration_monitoring

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond the word 'history' – no retention window, no pagination, no indication of what a monitoring sample contains or whether results are bounded by the time_range.

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?

A single short, front-loaded sentence with zero padding, which is structurally sound. It is concise to the point of under-specification, so brevity here is not fully earning its place.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description is the only source for what the call returns, yet it never says whether the result is a metric series, status events, or aggregated summaries. For a monitoring-history read with an ambiguous target_id and an output-shaping time_range, this leaves the agent guessing.

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 0%, so the description must carry the burden. It only weakly implies target_id is an integration identifier (via 'for an integration') and says nothing about time_range semantics, even though the enum 1h/6h/24h with default 1h is the main lever controlling output volume.

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?

A specific verb plus resource ('Get monitoring history') scoped to integrations, so an agent knows the general operation. It does not, however, distinguish itself from sibling readers like nexterm_get_monitoring or nexterm_get_server_monitoring, which share nearly identical phrasing.

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?

No statement of when to prefer this over nexterm_get_monitoring, nexterm_get_server_monitoring, or nexterm_get_integration. The agent must infer the choice from the tool name alone, with no exclusions or prerequisites given.

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