bh_get_stats

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the disclosure burden. It clearly indicates a read operation via 'Get' and names the returned data categories, but it does not disclose behavior such as time range, aggregation method, permissions, or whether the data is live or cached. This is minimal but not misleading.

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?

The description is a single sentence with no filler, front-loading the action ('Get analytics summary') and then supporting details. Every word earns its place.

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 zero-parameter analytics summary tool, the description is largely complete: it identifies the target publication and the expected content of the result. It does not explain the output format or time period, but those gaps are minor given the simplicity and absence of parameters.

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 tool has zero parameters and the schema fully documents that with an empty properties object. The description does not need to add parameter-level meaning, and it does not attempt to, so the baseline score of 4 is 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?

The description states a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('analytics summary'), and enumerates the included metric areas ('pageviews, subscribers, posts'). This clearly separates it from sibling listing/generation tools such as bh_list_posts or bh_generate_ideas.

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 description implies use when an analytics overview of the Bloghunch publication is needed, and the word 'summary' hints that it differs from listing individual posts or subscribers. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives or mention any exclusions.

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