prompt_tracking

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

Discloses side effects for log action (writes to disk) and output types, but does not fully describe analyze action's behavior or potential side effects. With no annotations, this is a moderate disclosure.

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?

Description is somewhat concise but includes redundant '[HINT]' line and emoji formatting that adds noise. Could be streamlined without losing clarity.

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 7 parameters and no schema descriptions, the description fails to cover most parameters. Output description is vague ('log confirmation or iteration statistics'). Missing details on return format and parameter constraints.

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 has 0% description coverage, so description must explain parameters. Only action and prompt are explained; task_id, mode, outcome, iteration, days are left undocumented, leaving significant ambiguity.

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 purpose with specific verbs (log, analyze) and resource (prompt tracking). It differentiates two actions effectively, and sibling tools do not overlap.

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?

Provides clear context for each action (log vs analyze), but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tool references.

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