latest_show

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

There are no annotations, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the operation is read-only, requires authentication, has rate limits, or returns partial data. It also does not state what the output format is beyond 'setlist,' so side effects and response structure are opaque.

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 with no fluff or redundancy. It is efficiently worded and front-loaded with the core action ('most recent show's setlist'), though it omits important details that would not compromise conciseness.

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?

Given the optional parameter and lack of output schema details, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the parameter's meaning, describe the expected output structure, or clarify the domain-specific notion of a 'show,' leaving critical gaps for an agent trying to use the tool correctly.

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, include_related, is not explained in the description or schema. With 0% schema description coverage, the description's failure to elaborate on 'related' leaves the parameter's purpose completely ambiguous, making it impossible for an agent to decide whether to set it to true or false.

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 that the tool returns the most recent show's setlist, which is a specific and unambiguous purpose. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like random_show or search_shows by using 'most recent,' though it does not define what constitutes a 'show' in this context.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention sibling tools or conditions under which latest_show is preferred, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the phrase 'most recent show's setlist.'

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