network_stats

Monitor network interface performance by retrieving I/O statistics including bytes, packets, errors, and drops for system analysis.

Instructions

Get network I/O statistics: bytes, packets, errors, and drops per interface.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. While it states this is a read operation ('Get'), it doesn't mention whether this requires special permissions, whether it returns real-time or historical data, what format the output takes, or any rate limits. For a monitoring tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that immediately states the tool's purpose with specific details. Every word earns its place - 'Get' establishes the action, 'network I/O statistics' specifies the resource, and the list clarifies exactly what metrics are retrieved. No wasted words or redundant information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter read-only tool, the description is reasonably complete about what data is retrieved. However, with no annotations and no output schema, it doesn't address important behavioral aspects like output format, permissions needed, or whether this returns current snapshots versus historical data. The description does the minimum viable job but leaves gaps in operational context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema already fully documents the lack of inputs. The description appropriately doesn't waste space discussing parameters that don't exist, maintaining focus on what the tool does rather than what it accepts.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('network I/O statistics') with specific details about what data is retrieved ('bytes, packets, errors, and drops per interface'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'network_bandwidth' or 'network_overview' by focusing on per-interface statistics rather than aggregated metrics or general overviews.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'resource_network_stats' or 'network_bandwidth'. It doesn't mention prerequisites, timing considerations, or any explicit when/when-not scenarios. The agent must infer usage from the tool name and description alone.

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