get_stress_data

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

No annotations exist, so the description bears the full burden. It explains the stress scale and output components (overall, durations, timestamps), but does not disclose whether it's read-only (presumed), rate limits, authorization needs, or other behavioral traits. Provided details are useful but incomplete for a full transparency assessment.

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?

Three sentences with no redundancy. First sentence immediately states purpose, additional sentences provide useful scale and output details. Efficient and well-structured.

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 simple input (one optional date) and no output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool returns (stress levels, categories, durations, timestamps). It is sufficient for an agent to understand the tool's purpose and output, though it doesn't describe pagination or exact response format.

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% (the sole parameter 'date' is already described in the schema with format and default behavior). The description's mention of 'specific date' adds no new semantic value beyond the schema. Baseline 3 applies.

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?

Description clearly states it retrieves stress level data for a specific date and describes the output (0-100 scale with categories). However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'get_all_day_stress', which might serve a similar purpose.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No mention of conditions or exclusions. The description lacks usage context.

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