panelica_server_get_v1_server_metrics

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

No annotations provided. The description fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, authentication requirements, rate limits, or side effects. For a data retrieval tool, this leaves the agent uninformed about safety and preconditions.

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?

Extremely concise: two sentences include the action and HTTP method/category. No unnecessary words, well 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?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description should provide enough context about what metrics are returned. It merely states 'server metrics' without any detail on data structure, example usage, or typical values.

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 has zero parameters and the schema covers them fully (100%). The description adds no parameter-level meaning, but the minimal addition is acceptable given no parameters to describe.

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 states 'gets server metrics' which clarifies the resource but is somewhat tautological with the tool name 'get_v1_server_metrics'. It does not specify which specific metrics (e.g., CPU, memory) to distinguish from sibling tools like server_status or server_services.

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 over alternatives. There are similar server tools (e.g., server_status, server_services) but no differentiation or context for selection.

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