get_tag_events

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full transparency burden. The verb 'List' clearly indicates a read-only operation, and the optional filter is mentioned, but details about pagination, definition of 'recent', timezone handling, and response structure are absent.

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 two short sentences, immediately stating the action and scope, with the optional filter mentioned separately. No redundant words.

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 listing tool, the description gives the core purpose and optional filters, but fails to differentiate from the sibling get_recent_tag_events, and doesn't cover pagination behavior or event semantics, which is a gap given no output schema.

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 description identifies 'year' and 'month' as optional filters, adding some meaning beyond the schema which lacks descriptions for these fields. However, it does not clarify value formats (e.g., YYYY, 1-12), and page/per_page are already described in the schema, limiting added value.

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 uses a specific verb ('List'), resource ('tag activity events'), and scope ('for the org'), making the core function clear. However, it does not distinguish from the similarly named sibling 'get_recent_tag_events', and 'activity events' is somewhat vague.

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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not mention when to prefer this tool over the nearly identical 'get_recent_tag_events', nor does it specify any exclusions or typical use cases beyond the optional year/month filter.

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