getOperationsForVhost

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It states the tool gets 'recent operations' but does not disclose what 'recent' means, potential side effects, required permissions, or pagination behavior. This is a minimal read operation, but the lack of behavioral context leaves significant gaps.

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, focused sentence with no redundant words. It achieves the goal of conveying the core purpose without any filler, making it highly concise.

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 simple one-parameter tool with an output schema, the description is minimally adequate but not thorough. It does not clarify what 'recent operations' entails, how results are ordered, or the relationship to similar getOperationsFor* sibling tools. The presence of an output schema covers return structure, but behavioral context is sparse.

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 0%, and the description does not explain the vhost_id parameter beyond the phrase 'specific vhost/endpoint'. Since the schema provides only the name and type, the description adds minimal semantic value and does not compensate for the lack of schema coverage.

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 action ('Get recent operations') and the specific resource ('for a specific vhost/endpoint'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like getOperationsForApp and getOperationsForDatabase by explicitly scoping to vhost.

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 implies the tool is used when you need operations for a particular vhost, but it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives or mention when not to use it. There is no exclusionary guidance, but the scope is clear enough to infer typical usage.

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