rlm_htask_audit_trail

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits but only states the action and resource. It does not mention whether the operation is read-only, if it requires special permissions, or what happens on missing task or swarm.

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?

Single sentence with no wasted words. Efficient but could benefit from additional context without becoming verbose.

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 2 required parameters, no output schema, and many sibling tasks, the description lacks details on the audit trail content, pagination, or error behavior. Incomplete for a functional tool beyond basic purpose.

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 descriptions for swarm_id and task_id are minimal ('Swarm ID', 'Task ID'). The tool description adds no additional meaning, format, or constraints beyond the schema. Schema coverage is high, but schema descriptions themselves are insufficient.

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?

Description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'complete audit trail for a specific task'. It uniquely identifies the tool among siblings like rlm_htask_get and rlm_task_events.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It implies usage for audit trail retrieval but does not specify prerequisites or situations where other tools (e.g., rlm_task_events) would be more appropriate.

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