qui_list_notification_events

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already covers the safety profile, and the description's mention of GET is consistent. The description adds context about argument passing (path vs query vs body), which is useful but not behavioral. It doesn't describe pagination, return format, or side effects, but annotations lower the bar.

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 sentence that is front-loaded with the endpoint and immediately explains argument structure. Every word earns its place; there is no fluff or redundant detail.

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?

The tool has an output schema, so return values are covered. The main gap is that the description doesn't list specific path variables or query parameters accepted by this endpoint. For a simple list endpoint, the generic argument structure may suffice, but it leaves the agent to infer what to put where.

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 input schema has only a generic 'arguments' object with no field descriptions (0% coverage). The description fully compensates by explaining how to structure arguments: path variables directly, query values in arguments.params, and body in arguments.body. This is essential and unambiguous.

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 explicitly identifies the endpoint (GET /notifications/events) and implies the list action via the tool name and HTTP method. It distinguishes from siblings like qui_list_notification_targets by pointing to a different resource, though it doesn't explain what a 'notification event' is.

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. It only states how to make the call, not when it's appropriate or what it's best used for. There is no mention of alternative tools or exclusions.

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