list_event_logs

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility. It only says 'Lists event logs' with no disclosure of pagination behavior, filtering options, read-only nature, or any side effects. This falls short of revealing behavioral traits beyond the abstract.

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, direct sentence with no fluff or repetition. It is appropriately sized for a simple list operation, earning high marks for 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?

Even though an output schema exists, the description lacks essential context such as pagination, the meaning of the 'dag_id' filter, or the distinction from single-event retrieval. The tool is simple but the description is too sparse to be fully actionable for an agent.

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 0%, so the description should compensate, but it provides no parameter information. The schema itself has clear names and defaults (limit, dag_id, offset), but the description adds no meaning, such as what filters are available or how pagination works.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Lists event logs from Airflow.' It clearly states the tool's function but does not differentiate it from sibling tools like 'get_event_log' or 'all_dag_event_summary', which could be confused for similar listing/fetching operations.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention any context, exclusions, or typical use cases, leaving the agent without criteria for selecting this tool over its siblings.

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