limits

GET /limits — Get your effective rate limits + current usage

Returns the effective per-minute and per-day rate limits for your API key, plus current usage (how many calls you have already made in the current minute and day windows, when each window resets, and how many calls you have left). Limits derive from your membership tier (DC member: 10/min, 300/day; DC BLACK member and staff: 60/min, 3000/day) unless an admin has set per-key overrides — overrides win when present.

The same usage data is also exposed on every API response via the X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, X-RateLimit-Daily-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Daily-Reset headers. Use this endpoint when you want a JSON snapshot, or the headers when you want to read it on every call.

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description fully discloses behavior: it returns rate limits and usage data, and mentions that same data is available via headers. No destructive or hidden side effects are implied.

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 two paragraphs: first defines the tool's purpose and output, second adds contextual links to headers and tier info. Every sentence adds value; no wasted words.

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?

For a zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description fully explains what the tool returns, how limits are determined, and how to access the same data alternatively. It covers all necessary context.

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

Parameters5/5

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

The input schema has zero parameters and 100% coverage, so no additional parameter descriptions are needed. The description adds no parameter info, but none is required.

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 clearly states 'GET /limits — Get your effective rate limits + current usage', using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes this tool from siblings by focusing on rate limit information, which is unique among the sibling tools.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

The description provides explicit guidance on when to use this endpoint ('when you want a JSON snapshot') versus reading headers on every call. It also explains the source of limits (membership tier, admin overrides), helping the agent decide usage context.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Despite the large number of tools, each has a detailed description that clearly distinguishes its purpose. Minor potential overlaps (e.g., search vs. resource-specific search, own vs. other's agenda) are well documented, so an agent can differentiate them.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names follow a consistent verb_noun or resource_subresource_action pattern in snake_case. A few tools are just nouns (e.g., 'alerts', 'announcements'), but these are top-level listing endpoints; overall the naming is predictable.

Tool Count2/5

85 tools is very high for a single server, making it difficult for an agent to efficiently explore and select the right tool. While each tool seems justified for the broad domain, the count feels overwhelming and could be streamlined.

Completeness3/5

The tool surface covers most major areas (events, trips, chapters, rooms, search, profile, etc.) with CRUD or lifecycle operations. However, the lack of a 'send message' tool for rooms is a notable gap, and some resources (e.g., events) are read-only on creation/update, limiting agent workflows.
