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

The description discloses the trimming of old entries to retention, but does not elaborate on the retention policy or other side effects. With no annotations, the description provides basic behavioral context but lacks depth.

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?

Single sentence, no wasted words. Perfectly concise for the information provided.

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?

Although an output schema exists, the description omits details about the retention behavior frequency, constraints on entry fields, and any error conditions. Leaves significant gaps for a tool with 8 parameters.

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 0% and the description does not explain any parameters. It mentions a 'structured entry' but gives no details on fields or their semantics, forcing the agent to rely solely on param names.

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?

Description clearly states the verb 'append' and resource 'log.md', and includes the additional behavior of trimming old entries. This is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like 'create_raw_source' or 'apply_candidate'.
