Get usage stats

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

No annotations provided. Description only states basic action; lacks details on read-only nature, permissions, rate limits, or response format. Full burden on description but insufficient.

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, clear sentence with no extraneous content. Efficiently states purpose and parameter context.

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?

Adequate for a simple tool with one optional param and no output schema. However, lacking output description reduces completeness; returns 'usage statistics' are vague.

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 100% with description for timeframe. The tool description adds example values ('7d, 30d, 90d') beyond schema's '30d', but this is marginal. Baseline 3 appropriate.

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?

Clear verb ('Get') and resource ('usage statistics') with specific timeframe example. Distinguishes from siblings like get_credits or list_renders by focusing on aggregated usage metrics.

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?

Implied usage: for retrieving aggregated usage over a timeframe. No explicit mention of when to use vs alternatives (e.g., get_credits for credit balance), leaving some ambiguity.

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