get-synthetics-result

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

With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It vaguely mentions 'latest results' but includes parameters for time range, contradicting the 'latest' implication. No mention of read-only nature, permissions, rate limits, or impact.

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?

Single sentence of 10 words is very concise and front-loaded. However, it might be too brief given the tool's complexity; could include a bit more context about filtering capabilities.

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?

Lacking output schema and annotations, the description fails to explain return values, pagination, error handling, or the effect of parameters like fromTs/toTs. For a tool with 4 params, this is insufficient.

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%, and the description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions. The only hint is 'by public ID' matching the required param. Baseline 3 is appropriate as description adds no value.

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 specifies the verb 'Get', the resource 'latest results for a Synthetics API test', and the identifier 'by public ID'. It distinctly differentiates from sibling tools like 'create-synthetics-test' or 'get-monitor'.

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 implies usage for retrieving results, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives like 'trigger-synthetics' or 'list-synthetics'. No when-not-to-use or exclusion criteria are provided.

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