B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuine context by pinning the query to the current billing month, but it says nothing about permissions, result shape, or data freshness.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences, resource and scope front-loaded, with the endpoint appended as confirmation. Nothing is padded, though the endpoint restatement is close to redundant with the description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a two-parameter read tool this is roughly adequate, but with no output schema the description could reasonably hint at what comes back (a value plus unit) and the units for bandwidth/cdn_bandwidth. That gap leaves the agent guessing about return semantics.

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 description coverage is 100% and the metric enum is fully specified in the schema, so the schema carries the load. The description re-lists the three metric values rather than adding new semantics such as units or how each metric is measured.

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?

States the resource (a site's usage), the temporal scope (current billing month), and enumerates the three supported metrics, then confirms with the concrete REST path. It is clearly a read of usage data, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling kinsta_get_analytics.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives. The closest sibling, kinsta_get_analytics, is never referenced, so the agent must infer which tool to pick on its own.

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