bosch_camera_events

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

No annotations provided, so description must convey behavior. It states it returns 'most recent' events, which is vague regarding time window. It does not explicitly confirm read-only status, but returns data. Lacks details on ordering, pagination, or authentication. Adequate but not thorough.

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?

Description is very short: two sentences. Front-loaded with purpose, then lists output fields. No unnecessary words. Could add more detail without sacrificing conciseness, but current structure is efficient.

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?

Given the tool has 2 params, no annotations, and an output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and output fields. However, it lacks usage context among 30+ siblings, parameter details, and behavioral specifics. Minimal but functional; leaves gaps for an AI agent to resolve.

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%. Description does not explain the camera parameter (expected value) or the limit parameter (default, meaning). It only lists output fields. The schema provides types but adds no semantic context beyond the description's purpose. Agent needs more param info to use correctly.

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 returns the most recent motion/person/audio events for a specific camera. The verb 'Return' and resource 'events' are specific. Among siblings like bosch_camera_motion_get and bosch_camera_audio_get, this tool aggregates event types, distinguishing it.

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 like bosch_camera_motion_get or bosch_camera_unread_get. Description does not mention when-not-to-use or provide context for selection among siblings.

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