k8s_events

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. The [SAFE] tag is not a standard annotation. The description does not disclose what events are returned (all events? errors only?), namespace behavior, or required permissions. For a tool with 0% schema description coverage, this is insufficient.

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, concise sentence with a safety prefix. It wastes no words but could benefit from more structure or bullet points. However, brevity is valued.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description should provide output details and behavioral context. It does not mention that the output is a list of events, nor any format or limitations. The tool's simplicity does not excuse the lack of completeness.

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 only parameter 'namespace' is not described. With 0% schema description coverage, the description does not explain its meaning, default behavior, or filtering logic. The agent cannot infer how the namespace affects results.

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 verb 'List', the resource 'Kubernetes cluster events', and the purpose 'debugging and monitoring'. The [SAFE] tag further clarifies non-destructiveness. Among siblings like k8s_pod_logs and k8s_node_list, this tool is distinctly for events.

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 lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions 'debugging and monitoring' but does not specify when to prefer events over logs or metrics. No exclusions or alternative suggestions are provided.

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