get_club_activities

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. While 'Get recent activities' implies a read-only operation, the description doesn't address important behavioral aspects like pagination behavior (implied by page/per_page parameters but not explained), rate limits, authentication requirements, or what constitutes 'recent' (timeframe).

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 at just 5 words ('Get recent activities from club members'). It's front-loaded with the core purpose and contains no unnecessary information or wasted words, making it highly efficient.

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?

For a tool with 3 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't explain what 'recent' means, what format the activities come in, whether there are sorting options, or how pagination works despite having page/per_page parameters. The agent would need to guess about important behavioral aspects.

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?

With 100% schema description coverage, the input schema already documents all three parameters (id, page, per_page) with clear descriptions. The tool description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's in the schema, so it meets the baseline expectation but doesn't provide extra value.

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 states the tool's purpose as 'Get recent activities from club members', which is a clear verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from its sibling 'get_activities' or 'get_activity', leaving ambiguity about what makes this specific club-focused tool different from general activity retrieval tools.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With multiple sibling tools like 'get_activities', 'get_activity', and 'get_club_members', there's no indication of when this club-specific activity retrieval is appropriate versus other activity or club-related tools.

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