mempalace_kg_timeline

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds 'recent' and entity-vs-all-facts scoping, but doesn't reveal other behavioral details like ordering, limits, or pagination. With annotations, this is adequate but not rich.

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?

A single, well-structured sentence conveys the tool's purpose and scoping options. Every word earns its place, with no fluff or redundancy.

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 low complexity, comprehensive annotations, and existing output schema, the description is largely complete. 'Recent' is slightly ambiguous but acceptable for a timeline tool, and the optional parameter is clearly explained.

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 coverage is 100% and the 'entity' parameter is self-explanatory. The description's 'one entity or all facts' mirrors the schema's 'omit to return the tenant timeline,' adding little beyond what structured data already provides.

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 states the tool shows a KG timeline, with an explicit scope choice: one entity or all facts. The verb 'Show' and resource 'recent KG timeline' are specific, and the timeline focus distinguishes it from sibling KG query/check tools.

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?

It provides clear guidance on how to scope the request: pass an entity for one entity's timeline, omit it for all facts. It doesn't name alternatives or exclusions, but the context is clear enough for a simple read-only tool.

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