delimit_secret_access_log

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

No annotations exist, so description must self-disclose behavior. It only says 'view' implying read-only, but doesn't mention authorization, side effects, output structure, or filtering behavior via the optional 'name' parameter.

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?

One sentence with no waste, but it is too terse given the missing details. Conciseness is good, but at the expense of completeness.

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?

Despite having an output schema (which may cover return values), the description lacks essential context about the optional parameter, scope of audit log (system-wide or per secret), and how it relates to sibling audit tools. Incomplete for a tool with minimal descriptions.

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 only parameter 'name' has no description in the input schema (0% coverage). The description does not explain its purpose (likely filtering by secret name), so it adds no semantic value beyond the bare schema.

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 (View) and the resource (access audit log for secrets). It distinguishes from sibling tools like delimit_secret_list or delimit_secret_get by specifying it's an audit log.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., general audit with delimit_audit, or other secret tools). No prerequisites or context provided.

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