Get Domain Authority Histogram

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

Annotations are absent, so the description carries the full burden. It indicates it returns a histogram (read-like operation) but does not disclose behavioral traits like whether it is read-only, any rate limits, or side effects. The name suggests get, but no explicit confirmation.

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, directly stating the core function. No extraneous text.

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?

Missing output schema and limited parameter documentation. Does not describe histogram details (buckets, range, return format). Incomplete for an agent to fully understand the result.

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 50%, with 'target' documented but 'mode' only described by enum values. The description does not explain what 'mode' or 'target' control beyond the schema's minimal description. It fails to compensate for the schema gap.

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 returns a histogram of Domain Authority for referring domains linking to the target. It uses specific verbs ('Returns') and resource ('bucketed histogram'), and distinguishes from sibling tools like DATA_getDomainAuthority and DATA_getDistributionOfDomainAuthority by specifying 'histogram'.

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 such as DATA_getDomainAuthority or DATA_getDistributionOfDomainAuthority. No context about prerequisites or scenarios.

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