Find brute-force, persistence & lateral-movement signals in exported Windows event logs
Single tool 'evtxsift_scan' has a reasonable description (95 chars) but critical gaps in schema completeness and parameter documentation. Input schema exists but lacks type validation details. No output schema documented. Parameter 'target' has a basic description but no format constraints, validation rules, or examples of valid input (JSON array vs CSV file). No error handling guidance. Tool does not follow verb_noun naming convention (should be 'scan_evtx' or 'analyze_event_logs'). No pagination, no structured output schema, no recovery guidance for common failures.
Find brute-force, persistence & lateral-movement signals in exported Windows event logs. Returns JSON findings.
No output schema documented. LLM cannot predict response structure (fields, types, nesting). Prevents downstream tool chaining and forces parsing guesswork.
Parameter 'target' lacks format constraints and validation rules. Description says 'JSON array or CSV file' but does not specify: file path vs raw content, required columns for CSV, JSON schema for array, max file size, or error handling for invalid formats.
Tool name 'evtxsift_scan' does not follow verb_noun convention. Starts with tool name, not action verb. Should be 'scan_event_logs' or 'analyze_evtx' to signal intent clearly to LLM.
No error handling guidance. If file not found, invalid format, or scan fails, LLM receives no recovery hints. Should document: 'File not found, verify path exists', 'Invalid CSV, check headers match expected schema', etc.

No pagination or result limits documented. If scan returns thousands of findings, response could exhaust context window. Should cap results and offer pagination (offset/limit).
