Adafruit IO MCP by usefulapi

Get latest data point

adafruitio_get_last_data
Read-only

The most recent data point of a feed (value, location, created_at). GET /feeds/{feed_key}/data/last.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
includeNoComma-separated fields to return: value, lat, lon, ele, id, created_at.
feed_keyYesFeed key (the URL-safe key shown in Adafruit IO, for example 'temperature'; 'group-key.feed-key' also works).

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description usefully discloses the return shape (value, location, created_at) — valuable since there is no output schema — but says nothing about auth requirements, rate limits, or what happens when the feed has no data.

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?

Two tight sentences: the return contents are front-loaded and the endpoint reference is tucked in last. Nothing is wasted and there is no filler.

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 simple read tool with 100% schema coverage and annotations carrying the safety profile, the description covers purpose and return fields adequately. The remaining omissions (empty-feed behavior, how include interacts with the listed fields) are minor for an agent to call it correctly.

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%, so both feed_key and the include filter are already fully documented in the schema, including the 'group-key.feed-key' form. The description's parenthetical field list adds only marginal overlap with the include pattern, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 gives a specific verb+resource ('the most recent data point of a feed') and even names the underlying endpoint, so the agent knows exactly what it fetches. It does not, however, distinguish itself from close siblings like adafruitio_get_data_point or adafruitio_list_feed_data, leaving the agent to infer the difference.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no guidance on when to use this over adafruitio_get_data_point (a specific point) or adafruitio_list_feed_data (a range). No prerequisites or exclusions are stated; the agent must guess from the name alone.

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