Get total scans

get_total_scans
Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this when the user asks how many scans they got in total, for the account, one project or one QR code, with growth against the previous period. Default period: last 30 days. For a day-by-day breakdown use get_scans_by_date; for individual scans use get_qrcode_scans. For scope qrcode send both idproject and idqrcode. Read-only.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare the read-only/idempotent profile, and the description reinforces it with a closing 'Read-only' plus the non-obvious behavioral fact that results include growth against the previous period and default to a 30-day window. That default-window behavior is not derivable from annotations and meaningfully changes the answer returned.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the trigger, then alternatives, then the one non-obvious parameter rule. No filler and nothing buried at the end.

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?

With an output schema present, the description needn't explain return values; it covers purpose, alternatives, defaults, and the cross-field constraint, and annotations cover safety. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and every parameter already documents its enum, default, and dependencies, so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description's 'for scope qrcode send both idproject and idqrcode' and 30-day default restate what the schema already says, adding emphasis rather than new meaning — baseline 3 applies.

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?

Names a specific verb+resource (get total scans) and immediately scopes it: total counts for account, project, or a single QR code, with growth vs. previous period. It explicitly distinguishes itself from get_scans_by_date and get_qrcode_scans, so an agent can choose correctly without reading schemas.

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?

Opens with an explicit when-to-use trigger ('when the user asks how many scans they got in total'), names the two sibling alternatives and the condition that selects each, and states the default window (last 30 days). Cross-parameter requirement for scope=qrcode is called out.

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