avanan_get_daily_usage

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral context. It discloses that this is a read operation and that it spans all customer tenants for a given date, but it does not mention return format, pagination, aggregation, or access caveats.

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?

One front-loaded sentence with no filler; every word adds meaning: 'daily', 'across all customer tenants', and 'specific year/month/day'.

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?

For a simple date-keyed read, the essential invocation data is present and the daily vs monthly distinction is implicit. However, no output schema exists and the description does not characterize the returned usage details, pagination, or tenant-level versus aggregate shape.

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 schema already documents all three parameters at 100% coverage, so the description does not need to repeat them. 'Specific year/month/day' only restates the fields without adding format, relationship, or behavior details.

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?

States a specific verb 'Get', a definite resource 'daily usage details across all customer tenants', and a date parameter. The word 'daily' distinguishes it from the sibling avanan_get_monthly_usage.

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?

The phrase 'for a specific year/month/day' and 'daily' clearly signal when to call this tool. It does not explicitly name alternatives like get_monthly_usage or state when not to use it, but the daily vs monthly contrast is clear enough.

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