get_transfer_rumours_by_date_range

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

No annotations are present, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It does not disclose pagination behavior, rate limits, data freshness, or any side effects. The brief description lacks essential transparency.

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 extremely concise (one sentence) but lacks necessary detail for a tool with 8 parameters. It is not overly verbose, but conciseness comes at the cost 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?

Given the tool has 8 parameters, many siblings, and no output schema or annotations, the description is too sparse to provide complete context. The agent lacks guidance on how to use parameters like filters, page, etc.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema; it merely restates the date range constraint. The optional parameters (include, select, etc.) are not elaborated upon.

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 verb 'Get', the resource 'transfer rumours', and the constraint 'within a date range', distinguishing it from siblings like get_all_transfer_rumours and get_transfer_rumours_by_player_id.

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 usage guidelines are provided; the description does not indicate when to use this tool vs. alternatives like get_transfer_rumours_by_player_id or get_transfers_by_date_range. There is no mention of when not to use it.

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