Api get metrics retrieve

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered elsewhere. The description adds nothing beyond that: it doesn't say which counters, whether they are scoped to the org, whether they require auth or a specific role, or what shape the payload takes.

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?

One short sentence with no waste, but it is undersized for the job: the single sentence conveys no actionable information, so efficiency is achieved by omission rather than by density.

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?

There is no output schema and no parameters, so the description is the only place an agent can learn what 'counters' means. It leaves that completely unspecified while sitting among dozens of similarly named metrics/counters endpoints.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so per the baseline there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. No parameter-level meaning is missing.

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 'returns the counters' largely restates the tool name (get_metrics_retrieve) without defining what counters or metrics are returned. It gives no basis for distinguishing this from siblings like ciso_assistant_api_get_counters_retrieve, ciso_assistant_api_get_audits_metrics_retrieve, or the numerous other *_metrics_retrieve endpoints.

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?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and no mention of alternatives. With a sibling named get_counters_retrieve producing apparently the same thing, the absence of routing guidance is a real gap.

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