get_vision_history

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It mentions 'recent' and 'pattern breakdown and stats' but does not explain what constitutes 'recent', pagination, or whether the operation is read-only. No disclosure on auth or 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?

Description is concise and front-loaded, with no filler. However, it could be better structured (e.g., separate sections for purpose and args). Still, it's 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 an output schema exists, description needn't detail return format, but it misses context on time range for 'recent' and what 'pattern breakdown' entails. Parameter docs are good, but overall completeness is moderate.

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 0%, but the description adds meaning: token default is explained, case-insensitivity noted, and currently supported values listed (BTC, ETH). This goes beyond the schema's minimal info.

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 retrieves recent Pythia Visions for a token, with specifics on pattern breakdown and stats. It distinguishes itself from siblings like get_visions_info or get_vision_payload by focusing on history and breakdown.

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 use for checking recent visions by token but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this vs alternatives like get_visions_info or get_vision_payload. No when-not-to-use or prerequisite context.

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