odoo_log_timesheet

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

The description provides no behavioral details beyond 'logs'. No information about idempotency, side effects, required permissions, or error conditions. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden but fails to disclose any traits.

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 sentence, very concise and front-loaded. However, it is so brief that it sacrifices useful context for a tool with multiple parameters and a sibling alternative.

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 rich input schema and presence of an output schema, the description is adequate but incomplete. It does not explain the relationship between project_id and task_id, default behaviors, or potential failure scenarios.

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 input schema includes descriptions for each parameter, so the description does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline is 3 due to high schema coverage, though the description itself is silent on 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 states it logs a timesheet entry for a project or task. It specifies the verb and resource, but does not differentiate from the sibling tool odoo_log_task_timesheet, which may overlap in functionality.

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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like odoo_log_task_timesheet. It does not mention prerequisites, when not to use it, or typical scenarios.

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