Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered externally. The description adds which categories of data come back (tokens, improvements, plan limits), which is modest added value, but says nothing about auth scope, rate limits, or return shape.
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?
One compact sentence with the resource stated first and the returned categories following. No filler, though it could have used the space to name a sibling or a usage condition.
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?
For a zero-required-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description covers the essential question of what data is returned. Missing pagination/format details are minor here since the tool takes no meaningful input and annotations confirm a safe read.
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 single customerId parameter is fully documented as a Converra-superadmin impersonation field, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds no parameter information at all, which is acceptable at this coverage level.
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?
States a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('usage statistics') and enumerates the three data categories returned, so the agent knows what it retrieves. It does not differentiate itself from nearby read tools like get_account, get_settings, or get_converra_roi, which is the only thing keeping it from a 5.
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?
There is no guidance on when to call this versus alternatives such as get_account or get_converra_roi, and no prerequisites mentioned. The description only says what it returns, leaving the agent to infer the use case.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
