Read handoff context from a previous agent session. Includes completed steps, blockers, key decisions, and recent failures.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
taskIdNo
projectIdYesProject ID
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided. Description indicates a non-destructive read and lists output contents, but lacks details on auth needs, error behavior (e.g., missing session), or side effects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences conveying purpose and output structure. No unnecessary words, easy to parse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema, but description covers main output categories. Missing edge case (e.g., no previous session) but otherwise adequate for a simple read tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 50% (only projectId described), and the tool description adds no parameter information. taskId remains undocumented, failing to compensate for schema gaps.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states action ('Read handoff context'), resource ('from a previous agent session'), and content ('completed steps, blockers, key decisions, and recent failures'). Distinguishes from sibling tools like agentbay_session_handoff.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Implies usage for resuming a session by reading previous handoff, but no explicit when-to-use, alternatives, or exclusions compared to other memory tools.

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