get_latest_warnings

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

With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits such as whether the tool is read-only, how it handles pagination, or if it applies any implicit filters. The current description only states the basic function, omitting essential behavioral context.

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 phrase that conveys the core purpose without superfluous words. It is front-loaded and efficient, though it could benefit from slightly more detail without harming conciseness.

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 tool (one optional param, no output schema), the description provides a minimal but functional explanation. However, it lacks contextual nuances like how 'latest' is defined relative to other warning tools, which is needed for complete understanding.

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% with one optional 'limit' parameter. The description does not add any information beyond the schema, such as the meaning of 'limit' or its default behavior. Baseline score of 3 applies as the schema is self-sufficient.

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 explicitly states it retrieves the latest alarm list, which clearly indicates the verb (获取/get) and resource (报警列表/alarm list). It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_alarms' or 'get_archived_warnings' by specifying 'latest', but could be more precise about what 'latest' entails.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus the many similar siblings (e.g., get_alarms, get_warnings, get_archived_warnings). The description does not mention criteria like time range or order, leaving the AI agent without context for selection.

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