Show my daily allowance

get_usage
Read-onlyIdempotent

Show your own allowance: plan, daily limit, lookups used today, how many remain, when it resets (00:00 UTC (02:00 or 03:00 in Romania)) and any credit balance. Free and never counted as a lookup. Limits: 30 anonymous MCP calls a day, 50 with a free API key from https://leadgen.adrianhomelab.com/start (an email address, no payment).

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is a safe, read-only, idempotent status check. The description adds substantial behavioral context beyond that: it is free, never counted as a lookup, resets at 00:00 UTC, and has rate limits of 30 anonymous calls/day or 50 with a free API key.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the core purpose, then efficiently adds reset timing, cost behavior, and rate limits. Every clause contributes useful operational context without unnecessary repetition.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the zero-parameter schema, rich annotations, and existing output schema, the definition is complete enough for an agent to call the tool correctly. It explains the allowance fields conceptually and covers the important behavioral details: reset time, free usage, and limits.

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

Parameters4/5

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

There are zero input parameters, so parameter semantics are not a meaningful burden. The baseline for a parameterless tool is 4, and the description correctly does not invent parameter details.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: it shows the caller's own allowance, including plan, daily limit, used/remaining lookups, reset time, and credit balance. This is clearly distinct from the sibling lookup/enrichment tools, which query external business data rather than account quota.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description makes the use case clear: checking one's own allowance and limits. It gives useful context that the call is free and not counted as a lookup, which helps an agent decide to call it, but it does not explicitly say when not to use it or name alternatives.

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