Get a user's statistics

get_user_stats

Read-only

Retrieve an AniList user's anime and manga statistics, including counts, mean score, watch time, and episodes/chapters/volumes consumed, by providing their exact username or ID.

Instructions

Get an AniList user's anime/manga statistics: counts, mean score, time watched, episodes/chapters/volumes consumed. Accepts an exact AniList username directly — no need to call search_user first unless you only have a partial/fuzzy name. AniList's own stats aggregation can lag behind the account's real list — confirmed live, an account with real scored/progressed entries still read back all-zero statistics — so don't treat a zeroed result as 'this account has no list activity' without cross-checking get_user_list. Need the profile too? Use get_full_user_info instead of also calling get_user_profile separately.

A4.9/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint annotation, the description discloses a real behavioral quirk: AniList's stats aggregation can lag and return all-zero statistics even for active accounts. It provides a concrete example and instructs the agent not to infer 'no list activity' without cross-checking, which is exactly the kind of non-obvious behavior an agent needs.

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?

Each sentence earns its place: purpose, direct-usage guidance, the zero-result caveat, and the alternative tool routing. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and keeps the caveat concise enough to remain scannable.

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?

With a single fully described parameter, an output schema available, and annotations already covering read-only/open-world behavior, the description supplies the remaining operational context: when to skip search_user, when to cross-check get_user_list, and which sibling to use for profile data. Nothing an agent needs for correct invocation is missing.

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 schema already fully documents the single parameter (user ID or username), so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by emphasizing that an exact username is accepted directly and that a prior search_user call is unnecessary, which affects how the agent should populate the parameter.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Get an AniList user's anime/manga statistics' and enumerates the returned categories (counts, mean score, time watched, episodes/chapters/volumes consumed). It also distinguishes itself from profile-related siblings, so an agent can tell it apart from get_user_profile and get_full_user_info.

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?

It explicitly says an exact username can be passed directly and that search_user is only needed for partial/fuzzy names. It also names the right alternative when profile data is needed and tells the agent to cross-check get_user_list before interpreting zeroed stats as no activity.

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