C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, yet it only says the tool returns "native public Modrinth metadata." It doesn't disclose whether the call is a safe read, whether it hits a rate-limited endpoint, or what the statistics represent. "See the endpoint reference" defers behavior to a document the agent may not have.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action. The final sentence pointing at an unnamed "endpoint reference" adds little but doesn't bloat the text.

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

Completeness2/5

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

There is no output schema, so the description is the only place to explain what statistics come back, and it doesn't – "native public Modrinth metadata" is circular with the resource name. For a tool whose entire value is its return payload, this leaves a major gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is no parameter semantics to explain; baseline for a no-parameter tool applies. The description correctly implies a parameterless call.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a verb and resource ("Get Modrinth instance statistics"), but "instance statistics" is vague – it's unclear which statistics (total projects, versions, downloads, server load) are returned. Nothing in the description distinguishes this from the many other modrinth_* metadata tools in the sibling list.

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?

No indication of when to call this versus sibling tools like modrinth_check_project or modrinth_metadata_link_platforms, and no preconditions or exclusions are given. The reader is left to infer usage entirely.

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