byte_subscription_health

Read-onlyIdempotent

Detect when a publisher pivots content or goes dormant by comparing recent 7-day activity against a 23-day baseline. Returns stability signal: stable, moderate, significant, or unknown.

Instructions

Get the content-drift signal for a publisher. Compares their last 7 days of publishing activity (cadence, message count) against their 23-day baseline (days 8-30). Returns 'stable' (steady publishing), 'moderate' (20-50% cadence shift or 24-48h silence), 'significant' (>50% shift or >48h silence), or 'unknown' (new publisher, insufficient baseline). Use this to detect when a publisher you subscribe to has pivoted content or gone dormant.

Behavior5/5

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

The description details behavioral traits beyond annotations: it compares two time windows (7 vs 23 days), explains the signal calculation (cadence, message count, silence), and defines each output value. This fully informs an agent of what the tool does and does not do, with no contradiction to annotations.

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?

The description is extremely concise, with two sentences that front-load the purpose and then provide key usage details. Every part is necessary and there is no wasted text.

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?

Given the output schema exists, the description need not explain return values. It covers the algorithm, edge cases (new publisher), and usage context, making it complete for a health check tool.

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 parameters (publisher and indexerUrl) already have descriptions. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline for high coverage.

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?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get the content-drift signal for a publisher.' It explains the comparison methodology and the possible return values, making it distinct from sibling tools like byte_check_subscription or byte_list_my_subscriptions.

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?

The description explicitly states when to use: 'Use this to detect when a publisher you subscribe to has pivoted content or gone dormant.' This provides clear context and distinguishes the tool from others that might list subscriptions or check for new content.

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