Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does not explicitly state that this is a read-only operation, what data is returned, or any limitations. The 'Free' note is a pricing detail, not a behavioral trait.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—two short sentences with no filler. Every word contributes, making it highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, but with no output schema, the description should provide more context about what the growth trends look like or when to use this over other analytics tools. The current minimalism leaves gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema fully documents the single 'period' parameter with an enum and default value. The description adds no parameter-level information, so the baseline score of 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves follower and video growth trends, providing a specific verb and resource. It is distinct from most siblings, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from similar analytics tools like get_account_metrics.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The only extra note is 'Free,' which is a cost attribute, not a usage context. There is no mention of exclusions or preferred scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Every tool targets a distinct resource and action: account vs video vs folder vs analysis vs radar. Even similar tools like analyze_video and get_analysis are clearly separated by creation vs retrieval.
Most names follow a verb_noun pattern (track_video, get_account, create_folder). Minor deviations like 'growth_trends' and 'radar_history' are noun phrases but remain readable and predictable.
26 tools is slightly above the ideal range, but the server covers a broad domain with distinct sub-areas (accounts, videos, folders, analytics, AI analysis, radar), so the count is justified rather than bloated.
Core lifecycle operations are covered: track/untrack accounts and videos, list/get details, analytics, folders, and AI analysis. Minor gaps exist (no delete folder, no remove-from-folder), but they don't break primary workflows.
