graph_stats

Get row counts for nodes, edges, and entities in the current graph store to understand data composition.

Instructions

Row counts for the current graph store (nodes, edges, entities, ...).

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Without annotations, the description implies a read-only operation ('Row counts'). However, it does not disclose potential performance impact, whether counts are cached, or if any side effects exist. The description is minimal but adequate for a simple stat tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that efficiently communicates the tool's purpose. No extraneous information or repetition.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description does not specify the output format or structure (e.g., JSON object with keys). Given no output schema, a more detailed explanation of the return value would enhance completeness. Current description is functional but leaves ambiguity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters exist, and the input schema is empty. The description adds no extra meaning since there are no parameters. Baseline 4 applies due to zero parameters and full schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool provides row counts for the graph store, listing specific categories (nodes, edges, entities). It distinguishes from sibling tools which perform different operations like path finding or entity resolution.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 its siblings. The description lacks context on use cases, prerequisites, or scenarios where alternatives like 'connections' or 'entity_profile' are more appropriate.

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