Check Urlbox usage

get_usage
Read-only

Show render usage for the current billing period: renders used, the plan's render quota, and the period's start and end.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. Beyond that, the description adds real value by disclosing the exact data returned and that scope is bounded to the current billing period, which the annotations do not convey. Remaining gaps (pagination, error cases) are minor for a single-record read.

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 with the scope stated first and the returned fields listed after. Every clause earns its place and there is no redundant restatement of the title.

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?

There is no output schema, so the description carries the burden of explaining return values, and it does so by naming the three reported fields plus the time window. For this simple read-only tool that is close to complete, with only minor omissions around response format.

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?

With one parameter at 100% schema coverage, the schema fully documents the required `intent` field, so baseline 3 applies. The description adds no additional meaning about intent or any other parameter semantics.

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 verb and resource ("Show render usage") and scopes it to "the current billing period," then enumerates what is reported: renders used, quota, and period start/end. It is clearly not a render-producing tool, but it does not explicitly distinguish itself from siblings like list_renders or get_organisation.

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 only implied: an agent can infer it should call this to check quota before or after rendering, but the description never says when to use it, when not to, or what alternative to reach for. No exclusions or preconditions are stated.

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