generate_audit_report

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

No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states a high-level purpose and does not mention what data the report covers, whether it is read-only, how it handles the hours parameter, or any side effects. This is a significant gap for a tool that could potentially access a large dataset.

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 that conveys the core purpose without wasted words. It is exceedingly concise and easy to parse.

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?

With no annotations, no output schema, and two parameters that are not explained, the description is severely incomplete. An agent cannot determine what 'full audit-style report' entails, what hours means, why agent_id is required, or what the output format will be. This is inadequate for safe and correct invocation.

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%, and the description does not mention either parameter (agent_id, hours). The agent must infer that the report is tied to an agent and a time window, but this is not stated. The description provides no added meaning over the bare schema fields.

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 clear verb ('Generate') and specific resource ('full audit-style report') with stated audiences (investors, compliance, internal reviews). It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like analyze_failures or get_reliability_score, but the report scope is distinct enough.

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 gives context on when the report is useful (investors, compliance, internal reviews) but provides no explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over siblings or any exclusions. Usage context is implied rather than directly contrasted with alternatives.

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