Get Prowlarr Indexer Stats

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Return' implying a read operation, but omits details about pagination, filtering, or system impact. For a tool with 10 parameters and no schema descriptions, this is insufficient.

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 sentence, which is concise but overly brief for a tool with 10 parameters. It front-loads the purpose but fails to include necessary detail, making it under-informative.

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?

Given 10 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is grossly incomplete. It does not explain what statistics are returned, how filtering works, or what the response format is. The agent cannot reliably use this tool based solely on the description.

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 input schema has 10 parameters with 0% description coverage. The description adds no information about any parameter's purpose, format, or constraints. This leaves the agent without guidance on how to use parameters like 'to', 'from', 'detail', etc.

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 uses a specific verb 'Return' and specifies the resource 'Prowlarr indexer statistics', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'get_indexer' (individual indexer) and 'get_indexer_status' (status). However, it could be more precise about what 'statistics' entails.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_indexer_status' or other statistics tools. There is no context about use cases or exclusions.

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