audit_query_builder

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Build' implies a code-generation or file-writing operation, but the description doesn't disclose side effects (created/overwritten files), what 'Pro:' means, the authentication model implied by api_key, or whether execution is idempotent. A generation tool with zero annotation coverage needs more than one sentence.

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 concise sentence, which is structurally efficient. However, the 'Pro:' prefix is unexplained noise that costs words without earning them, and the sentence's brevity reflects under-specification rather than tight, information-dense writing.

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?

With no annotations and no output schema, the description must fully orient the agent, but it doesn't explain what 'build' concretely produces, how the framework/features parameters shape the result, or how this relates to the audit tool family. For a tool with operational side effects and an api_key parameter, a single purpose-statement is insufficient.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all three parameters, earning the baseline of 3. The description loosely maps to features ('filtering' hints at the search option, 'timeline views' maps to timeline), but it adds no meaning beyond what the schema's enums already provide.

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 a specific verb and resource: 'Build audit trail query API' with concrete capabilities (filtering, timeline views, compliance reports). The resource is distinctive enough to separate from siblings like audit_generate_schema and audit_add_triggers, though it never names them. The unexplained 'Pro:' prefix adds noise and slightly muddies the clarity.

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 is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Related siblings (audit_generate_schema, audit_add_triggers, audit_query_builder) exist but the description does not route the agent, state prerequisites (e.g., does an audit schema need to exist first?), or indicate when NOT to use it.

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