get_all_consumer_group_metrics

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It only says 'Get metrics', which implies read-only, but fails to explain time range filtering, state filtering, or performance implications. The parameters (duration, from_time, etc.) suggest behavior that is not described.

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 a single sentence, which is concise but lacks essential detail. It is not verbose, but the brevity undermines its usefulness.

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?

Given the 6 parameters, missing annotations, and presence of many sibling tools, the description is insufficient. It does not cover parameter functions or output structure, leaving the agent with little context for proper invocation.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter descriptions are provided. The tool description does not explain any of the 6 parameters, leaving their purpose entirely unclear.

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 verb 'Get' and resource 'metrics for all consumer groups', indicating the tool retrieves metrics for all groups. However, it does not distinguish from sibling 'get_consumer_group_metrics', which likely retrieves metrics for a specific group.

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 like 'get_consumer_group_metrics' or other metric tools. There is no mention of prerequisites or filtering context.

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