Get Bot Analytics

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

Annotations are empty, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions retrieving specific metrics but does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, rate limits, required permissions, or data scope (e.g., time range). The description is minimally informative beyond the tool name.

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 that is concise (18 words) and front-loaded with the core purpose. Every word contributes meaning without redundancy.

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 retrieval tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description gives concrete examples of returned metrics, which helps the agent anticipate results. It could be more complete by specifying if the data covers all time or a default range, but it is adequately complete given the tool's low complexity.

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 input schema has one parameter 'id' with a description in the schema itself. Schema description coverage is 100%. The tool description does not provide any additional information about the parameter beyond what the schema already specifies, so it meets the baseline but adds no extra value.

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 verb 'retrieve' and resource 'analytics and usage statistics for a specific bot', with specific metrics listed (message counts, response times, conversation metrics). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'get_bot' which retrieves bot details, not analytics.

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 implicitly indicates when to use this tool: to get analytics for a specific bot. It does not explicitly state when not to use it, but given the unique focus on analytics among siblings, the context is clear. No alternative tools for bot analytics exist in the sibling list.

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