ReadTransportActionLog

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

With no annotations present, the description still carries useful behavioral weight: it declares the operation read-only and explains that RemoveTransportObject's response is not authoritative, making this log the source of truth. It omits return format, pagination, or permissions detail, but provides real insight beyond the schema.

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?

Two tightly written sentences, front-loaded with the read-only tag and purpose, with the verification rationale placed last. Every clause earns its place.

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?

No output schema exists, but the description explains what the log contains (entries per lifecycle event), covering the return content adequately. Minor gaps around entry format and ordering keep it just short of complete.

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% and the 'detail' enum plus 'transport_number' semantics (request vs task) are fully documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter meaning, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb+resource (read the action log of a transport request) and describes the granularity precisely: one entry per lifecycle event (created, object added, object deleted, owner changed). This clearly distinguishes it from siblings that read transport objects or transport headers.

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?

Gives a concrete usage scenario — verifying that RemoveTransportObject landed — and explains the rationale (that call merely echoes its input). This is strong contextual guidance, though it doesn't state exclusions or survey other alternatives.

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