ncloud_get_log_count_recent

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

The annotation readOnlyHint=true already declares the read-only nature, and the description is consistent with it (no contradiction). However, the description adds no extra behavioral context beyond 'recent'—it doesn't clarify time windows, aggregation behavior, or return format. Given the annotation covers safety, a score of 3 is appropriate.

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, directly front-loaded sentence with no filler. It earns its place by stating the core purpose without 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?

The tool is low-complexity with one optional parameter and a read-only annotation, yet the description leaves key context missing: what time period 'recent' covers, what the count represents (e.g., total logs or distinct types), and what the return value looks like. This is a minimal viable description but with notable gaps.

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 provides 100% coverage with a clear description for the only parameter 'regionCode' (Region code, default kr). The tool description adds no additional parameter context, but since the schema is complete, the baseline of 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?

The description clearly states a specific action ('Get') and resource ('recent log count in Cloud Log Analytics'), making the tool's purpose understandable. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools like get_log_count_total or get_log_count_by_period, relying solely on the word 'recent' to differentiate.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus the other log count tools in the sibling list. No context is provided for what 'recent' means (e.g., last 24 hours) or scenarios where this should be preferred over get_log_count_total or get_log_count_by_period.

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