Get Ops Dashboard

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

The annotations already disclose readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is known. The description adds only the date-range and agent-scoping context, which is useful but does not disclose additional behaviors such as whether the result is paginated, aggregated, or subject to any rate limits.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It conveys the essential information efficiently and is well-structured for quick parsing.

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 read-only dashboard fetch with good annotations and full schema coverage, the description is largely adequate. However, since there is no output schema, a brief mention of what kind of metrics or data the dashboard includes would improve completeness.

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 100% with clear descriptions for start_date, end_date, and agent_id. The description's mention of 'date range' and 'scoped to one agent' simply restates what the schema already conveys, adding no new semantic depth.

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 ('Fetch') and resource ('operations dashboard'), and clearly scopes the operation by date range and optional agent. This distinguishes it from sibling dashboard-like tools such as lyzr_get_traces_dashboard and lyzr_ops_get_traces, which target different resources.

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?

The description implies usage context: when the user wants the operations dashboard for a date range. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over alternatives like lyzr_ops_get_traces or lyzr_get_traces_dashboard, nor does it mention any exclusions or prerequisites.

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