get_marketplace_release_stats

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

No annotations exist; description does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, has side effects, or rate limits. Only states 'Retrieve', but does not explicitly confirm idempotence or safety.

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 sentence is concise, but content is minimal. Could include more information without becoming verbose.

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?

No output schema; description fails to indicate what statistics are returned (e.g., price history, sales count). For a simple tool, this is insufficient for agent understanding.

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 0%, yet description only mentions 'Release ID'. Does not explain 'curr_abbr' parameter (currency enum), leaving its purpose ambiguous.

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?

Verb 'Retrieve' and resource 'marketplace statistics' for a Release ID clearly states the action. However, it does not differentiate from siblings like 'get_release' or 'get_marketplace_listing'.

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?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No exclusions or context provided for usage scenarios.

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