Get the account

Read-onlyIdempotent

The account behind the API key: plan, limits and the key's budgets (points figures are for your own pacing; do not read them to the user unless asked).

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish this as a safe, read-only, idempotent operation, so the description's job is lighter. It still adds value by disclosing the returned content and a behavioral caveat about how points figures should be treated internally rather than surfaced to the user without prompting.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence states the resource and its contents, then appends a brief operational caveat. Nothing is wasted and the important scoping information arrives first.

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?

For a no-argument read tool with full annotation coverage and no output schema, the description does enough: it identifies the account resource and lists the substantive fields returned. A slightly fuller account of the response shape would make it complete, but no critical information is missing.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, which is the baseline-4 case for this dimension. The description needs no parameter guidance, and none is missing.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description names a specific resource — 'the account behind the API key' — and enumerates what it exposes: plan, limits, and the key's budgets. It is clearly a retrieval tool, but it does not explicitly distinguish itself from nearby siblings like usage_get or pricing_get, which could plausibly return overlapping data.

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?

Usage is implied: call this when you need account-level plan, limit, or budget context. The parenthetical adds useful output-handling guidance ('do not read them to the user unless asked'), but there is no explicit statement of when to prefer this over usage_get or pricing_get.

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