reports_slow_start_rate_get

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

With no annotations, the description should cover key traits. It only indicates a read operation (get), but fails to disclose auth requirements, rate limits, or any side effects.

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?

Extremely terse (3 words), but brevity comes at the cost of omitting essential information. Not every word earns its place because it fails to add necessary 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?

Given the complexity of sibling tools and no output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the return value, the scope of 'metadata', or how to use the parameter.

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 single parameter 'name' has no description in the schema (0% coverage) and the tool description does not explain what value it expects. This is a critical gap for correct invocation.

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 it gets slow-start-rate metadata, which is clear enough but lacks specificity about what kind of metadata and doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like reports_slow_start_rate_query.

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, such as the query variant or other report tools. The agent must infer from the name alone.

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