kivest_stats

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden. 'Get' clearly indicates a non-mutating read operation, and the inclusion of specific statistics (queue size, token availability) makes behavior transparent. It does not mention potential rate limiting of the tool itself, but that is not critical for a stats endpoint.

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?

A single, front-loaded sentence with no superfluous words. It states the action, resource, and key output fields efficiently.

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?

For a zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool does and what it returns. It does not list every possible statistic, but the two named examples give a clear sense of the output. No further context is necessary.

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 tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter details because none are needed. It correctly implies this is a parameterless snapshot tool.

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 uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('rate limiter statistics') and clearly lists the key data included ('queue size and token availability'). It distinguishes itself from siblings like search/scrape tools and even kivest_usage by focusing on rate limiter internals.

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 about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as kivest_usage. There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or context where this tool is preferred. The usage is only implied by the description's title-like content.

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