thealeph_daily_stats

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

No annotations provided, so description must fully disclose behavior. It only states the action without mentioning side effects, permissions, rate limits, or whether it's read-only. For a tool with no annotations, 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?

Single sentence, 8 words, no wasted language. However, it could include slightly more context (e.g., 'daily' scope) without becoming verbose. Still efficient.

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 is simple (1 param, no output schema), but description omits return format or any behavioral details. For a minimal tool, it is acceptable but could be more complete by mentioning what 'usage statistics' includes.

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 coverage is 100%, and the description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's 'Date in YYYY-MM-DD format'. Baseline 3 applies as per guidance for high coverage without extra info.

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 'Get' and resource 'API usage statistics' with a clear scope 'for a specific date'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'thealeph_current_stats' and 'thealeph_summary_stats' by specifying 'daily' and date parameter.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'thealeph_current_stats' for current data, 'thealeph_summary_stats' for aggregates). The description lacks context for selection.

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