getDashboardTrafficActivities

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

No annotations provided; description only states basic function. Lacks info on read-only nature, pagination, rate limits, or historical data range. Minimal behavioral disclosure.

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?

Single sentence, no unnecessary words, directly states what the tool does. Efficient and front-loaded.

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?

Tool has no output schema and no annotations; description does not summarize return format, data range, or usage constraints. Incomplete for agents needing to understand output or limitations.

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?

Schema covers all parameters with detailed descriptions (siteId and customHeaders). Description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 maintained.

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?

Description clearly states the tool retrieves time-series traffic activity data for a site, with upload/download trends. Distinguishes from siblings like getDashboardOverview by specifying traffic focus.

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?

Implies usage for traffic trends but no explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives or when not to use. No exclusion criteria provided.

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