panelica_bandwidth_get_v1_bandwidth_summary

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden but only states it 'gets bandwidth usage summary'. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, performance, or whether it is read-only.

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 short but includes redundant HTTP path entries and a 'Category' line that add minimal value. The first sentence effectively communicates purpose, but the extra lines could be removed or integrated.

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 the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description is largely sufficient. It conveys the core function, though it could explicitly state the summary scope (overall vs. per entity).

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 no parameters, so no parameter description is needed. The baseline for 0 parameters is 4, and the description adds no extra info beyond the schema.

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 clearly states 'gets bandwidth usage summary', specifying a verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling bandwidth tools (e.g., for accounts/domains) by focusing on a summary, thus offering a unique purpose.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus siblings like panelica_bandwidth_get_v1_bandwidth_accounts_id. The description does not mention context or alternatives.

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