ncloud_get_log_count_recent

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

readOnlyHint=true already establishes the safety profile, so the description only needs to add context. It adds none: 'recent' is never defined (which window? default lookback?), and no return shape, granularity, or aggregation scope is disclosed.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is well-formed, though its brevity comes at the cost of the specificity a sibling-disambiguation case demands.

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?

For a one-parameter read tool with no output schema this could be adequate, but the central ambiguity — what time range 'recent' covers and how it differs from the other count variants — is left unaddressed, which is exactly what an agent needs to call it correctly.

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 100%, so regionCode with its enum list and default is fully documented in the schema. The description adds nothing about the parameter, which is acceptable at this coverage level (baseline 3).

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?

States a clear verb+resource: get the recent log count, scoped to Cloud Log Analytics. However, it does nothing to distinguish it from the three near-identical siblings (ncloud_get_log_count_total, ncloud_get_log_count_by_period, ncloud_get_log_count_by_type), which an agent must choose between.

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 when-to-use guidance, no conditions, no named alternatives. With four log-count tools in the toolset, the absence of any routing hint (e.g. 'use for the last N minutes' vs. get_log_count_total) leaves selection to guesswork.

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