get_stats_at_minute

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

There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not explain whether stats are cumulative or instantaneous at that minute, what 'player stats' includes (e.g., KDA, net worth), or any constraints like minute bounds. This leaves critical interpretation up to the agent.

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, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently communicates the core action and scope, matching the tool's simple parameter set.

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?

While the output schema likely documents return fields, the description omits critical context about what 'player stats' covers and how the minute parameter is interpreted. Given the large sibling toolset and no annotations, this sparse description leaves significant ambiguity for a simple-looking tool.

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 schema defines match_id and minute as integers with no descriptions. The description adds context that minute refers to a specific minute in the match, which gives some meaning beyond the raw schema. However, it doesn't clarify units (e.g., minutes since start) or the range of acceptable values.

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 the verb 'Get' and the resource 'player stats' scoped to 'a specific minute in a Dota 2 match.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_cs_at_minute (creep stats only) and get_match_timeline. The purpose is unambiguous.

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 such as get_cs_at_minute or get_snapshot_at_time. There are no conditions, prerequisites, or exclusions mentioned. The description simply states what it does without situating it in the broader toolset.

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