get_daily_usage_data

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

Discloses key behavioral traits: query-only nature ('query only'), date range constraint, and mode switching based on pagination. Without annotations, this adequately informs the agent of the tool's non-destructive read behavior.

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?

Concisely written with a clear break between general description and parameter details. Could be slightly tighter but remains informative without extraneous content.

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 moderate complexity (4 parameters, two modes) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers essential usage context, constraints, and behavior completely.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully compensates by explaining each parameter: epoch milliseconds for dates, optional pagination, and the behavior effect. Adds significant meaning beyond schema titles.

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 the tool fetches daily team usage metrics, specifies the endpoint (POST /teams/daily-usage-data), and distinguishes it from siblings like get_organization_daily_usage_data.

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?

Provides clear usage context: date range limit of 30 days and explains how page/pagination parameters affect returned data (active vs all members). Does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools but gives actionable guidance.

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