search_logs_by_country

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states that logs are searched, without mentioning whether results are raw logs or aggregated statistics, how time_range affects results, pagination, or any side effects.

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, compact sentence with no filler words. It gets straight to the point and is appropriately concise for a tool with a clear primary function.

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?

Despite the tool having 4 optional parameters, an output schema, and no annotations, the description is only one sentence long. It fails to mention half the parameters, any default behaviors, or usage context, making it incomplete for a tool of this complexity.

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%, so the description must compensate for the 4 parameters. It only mentions 'country' and 'country_code', omitting 'limit' and 'time_range' entirely, and does not clarify the format or relationship between these parameters.

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 specifies the action ('Search'), the resource ('OCI Load Balancer logs'), and the filtering dimension ('by country or country code'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like search_logs_by_ip and search_logs_by_location, which filter by different criteria.

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 is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as search_logs_by_ip or search_logs_by_location. The description only states what the tool does, leaving the agent to infer suitability from the name and filter criteria.

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