get_webhook_events

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full transparency burden. It discloses that it returns a dict with events and metadata, but does not mention auth requirements, rate limits, pagination, or other behavioral nuances. For a straightforward getter, this is acceptable but not rich.

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 concise and well-structured with an opening sentence followed by Args and Returns sections. Every sentence adds value and there is no irrelevant content.

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 tool's low complexity (two optional parameters, no output schema), the description covers the essential information: purpose, parameters, and return type. It lacks detail on event_type format and metadata structure, but is sufficient for basic usage.

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 description explains both parameters beyond the schema, including their defaults and meanings (limit for max events, event_type for filtering). This compensates for the 0% schema description coverage, though it does not specify valid event_type values.

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 tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('webhook events'). It specifies the scope ('most recent') and distinguishes itself from all sibling tools, none of which deal with webhook events.

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 implies usage by describing what the tool does, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives or any exclusions. For a simple read operation, this is adequate but not clearly differentiated from similar tools.

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