list_event_log_upload_logs

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. 'List all' conveys a read-only operation and implies a collection return, but it does not disclose behavior like pagination limits, ordering, or that 'all' may require multiple pages. This is adequate for a simple list tool but leaves some behavioral traits unstated.

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 one short sentence with no irrelevant text, effectively communicating the core action. While it is terse, it is concise and not unnecessarily verbose, earning a high but not perfect score.

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 the tool's simplicity, the description is mostly sufficient, but it lacks information about the return format (no output schema) and does not mention that pagination parameters affect 'all'. For a list operation with siblings, a bit more context would improve completeness.

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 coverage is 100% for both parameters (limit and offset), with clear descriptions in the schema. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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 'List all event log upload logs' clearly states the verb (list), the resource (event log upload logs), and the scope ('all'). It is distinct from the sibling 'get_event_log_upload_log' (singular) and 'list_event_log_upload_configs' (a different resource), though it does not explicitly name these alternatives.

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 get_event_log_upload_log for a single log or list_event_log_upload_configs for configurations. The description provides no context about typical use cases or exclusions.

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