getScheduledTransactions

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as the read-only nature, potential side effects, pagination, or that the response is a list. It merely repeats the name without adding depth.

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 a single short sentence, which is concise and front-loaded with the core action. However, it is slightly under-specified as it does not mention return format or context, but for the limited content, it is efficient.

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 rich output schema (likely including pagination and list structure) and no annotations, the description is incomplete. An agent lacks needed context about list semantics, ordering, or how to handle the last_knowledge_of_server parameter effectively, making it under-specified for a list-fetching 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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters in detail, including the special values for plan_id and the filtering behavior of last_knowledge_of_server. The description adds no additional parameter information, so it meets the baseline but does not go beyond.

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 states the verb 'Returns' and the resource 'all scheduled transactions', which is clear. However, it does not distinguish it from siblings like getScheduledTransactionById or getTransactions, which could be confused for similar list operations.

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. An agent cannot tell if it should use getScheduledTransactions or getTransactions for a given scenario, and no exclusions or conditions are mentioned.

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