Get daily log

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful detail about what fields are returned, but 'Read only' merely repeats the annotation and it does not discuss behavior for invalid IDs, missing permissions, or not-found cases.

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 definition is front-loaded and appropriately sized for a retrieval tool without an output schema. It has minor redundancy between 'One daily log' and 'Returns one daily log in full,' plus a trailing 'Read only' that repeats the annotation, but it remains readable and 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?

Because there is no output schema, the description carries the burden of explaining return contents and does so thoroughly: work notes, crew, visitors, materials, equipment hours, weather, address, and delays. It is complete enough to call correctly, though it does not address error cases or access requirements.

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 single parameter has 100% schema description coverage, and the schema explains that daily_log_id comes from list_daily_logs. The description itself does not add any parameter meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 a specific retrieval action: it returns one daily log in full and enumerates the included data such as work performed, visitors, materials, equipment, weather, and delays. It distinguishes a single daily log from the list-oriented sibling conceptually via 'One daily log,' but does not explicitly name list_daily_logs or update_daily_log as alternatives.

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?

Usage is implied by 'One daily log' and 'Returns one daily log in full,' suggesting it is used to fetch details for a specific daily log ID. However, the description does not explicitly say when to use this tool versus list_daily_logs, create_daily_log, or update_daily_log, nor does it state prerequisites beyond 'Read only.'

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