End-of-day FLHA sign-off

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

Discloses key behavioral traits: mandatory crew sign-off, incident status recording, permanent storage, and flagging of unsigned members. With no annotations, this provides sufficient transparency for a write operation.

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 succinct sentences with no extraneous text. Front-loaded with verb 'Close' and resource. Every sentence adds value.

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?

Covers core purpose and behavior, but lacks details on flhaId (required), notes, and output/return behavior. No output schema provided, so description should fill gaps more thoroughly.

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?

Adds meaning for signedBy (crew sign-off) and incidentFree (incident status), but flhaId and notes are not described. Schema has 0% coverage, so partial compensation.

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 it closes the day's FLHA, includes signing, incident recording, and permanent safety record. Distinguishes from sibling tools like flha_open by specifying end-of-day closure and flagging unsigned crew members.

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., safety_log). Does not specify prerequisites like requiring an open FLHA or when to avoid use.

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