cloud_list_actions

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, pagination behavior, rate limits, or what defines 'recent.' With zero annotations, the description carries full burden but fails to provide sufficient 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—a single sentence—but lacks necessary detail. While front-loaded with purpose, the economy of words results in omission of critical context for parameter usage and behavior.

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 5 undocumented parameters and no annotations, the description is far from complete. Even though an output schema exists, the lack of parameter descriptions and behavioral context leaves the agent underinformed. It covers only the basic purpose.

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% (5 parameters with no descriptions). The description adds no meaning to any parameter (page, per_page, sort, status, id). An agent cannot infer valid values or usage from the description alone.

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 lists recent actions across all resources. This verb+resource combination is specific and distinct from sibling tools that list individual resource types (e.g., cloud_list_servers) or get a single action (cloud_get_action).

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that listing recent actions differs from resource-specific lists, nor does it discuss pagination or temporal scope of 'recent.'

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