Get a user's statistics

get_user_stats
Read-only

Retrieve an AniList user's anime and manga statistics, including counts, mean score, time watched, and episodes, chapters, or volumes consumed.

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.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
userYesAniList user ID (as a number — a digit string is read as a username), or username.

  4. Addedv0.2.0

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations' readOnly/openWorld hints, the description discloses a non-obvious AniList-specific behavior: stats aggregation can lag and return all-zero data even when the account has real activity. It tells the agent not to treat zeroed results as conclusive without checking get_user_list.

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?

The description is front-loaded with the tool's purpose and then spends its remaining sentences on actionable routing and caveats. The anecdotal detail about zeroed statistics directly supports a real invocation risk, so it earns its place.

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?

An output schema exists, so the description need not document return fields. For a one-parameter read-only stats tool, it covers purpose, accepted input style, alternatives, and the key reliability caveat.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is already high, but the description adds practical meaning by emphasizing that an exact username is accepted directly and that fuzzy names should route through search_user. It does not add further detail about the ID-versus-username distinction beyond what the schema already states.

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 first sentence states a specific verb and resource: gets an AniList user's anime/manga statistics, then enumerates what those statistics include. It is immediately distinguishable from siblings like get_user_profile and get_user_list.

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 AniList username can be passed directly and that search_user is unnecessary unless the name is partial/fuzzy. It also names get_user_list for cross-checking zeroed results and get_full_user_info as the alternative when profile data is needed.

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