search_opentelemetry_issues

Search OpenTelemetry repository issues by specifying a repository and keywords to locate relevant discussions and solutions.

Instructions

Search OpenTelemetry repository issues

Search for issues in a specific OpenTelemetry repository using keywords

Args: repo: Repository name (e.g. opentelemetry-python) keywords: Keywords to search for in issues

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description lacks disclosure of behavioral traits such as result limit, pagination, authentication needs, or error handling. Minimum detail on what the tool does beyond the basic operation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is fairly concise but repeats the purpose in two sentences (title then explanation). It could be more streamlined. Structure is adequate with clearly labeled args.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no output schema or annotations, the description covers the essential purpose and parameters but lacks details on return format, ordering, or limitations. It is functionally complete for a simple search but could be more informative.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description explains both parameters (repo and keywords) with examples, adding meaning beyond the bare schema which has no descriptions. Schema coverage is 0%, so this compensation is valuable, though more detail (e.g., keyword format) could be added.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it searches issues in a specific OpenTelemetry repo using keywords, distinguishing it from list_opentelemetry_issues which likely lists all. However, it does not explicitly contrast with siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage when searching with keywords but provides no guidance on when not to use it or alternatives like list_opentelemetry_issues. No prerequisites or context are given.

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