preset_history

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

Since no annotations are provided, the description must disclose behavior. It mentions the ordering ('newest last') and implies a read-only operation. However, it does not clarify whether the current version is included, what fields are returned, or any access requirements. The addition is minimal but not misleading.

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 a single concise sentence that is front-loaded with the main action and resource. There is no redundancy or irrelevant information, making it efficient and easy to parse.

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 simple tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers the core purpose. However, it lacks essential parameter semantics and usage context. The output schema may handle return values, but the 'preset' parameter remains underspecified, leaving a gap in completeness.

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?

The single parameter 'preset' has zero schema description coverage, and the description does not explain what format the value should take (e.g., ID, name) or how to obtain valid presets. The description mentions 'a preset' but offers no additional semantic detail beyond the parameter name itself.

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 action (List), the resource (saved earlier versions of a preset), and an ordering detail (newest last). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like list_presets (lists all presets) and read_preset (reads a specific preset) by focusing on version history.

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 or any exclusions. It only states what the tool does, leaving the agent to infer that it's for viewing version history, but no explicit context or alternative comparisons are given.

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