getAnalyticsIPVersions

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

No annotations provided; description only says 'retrieves statistics' without disclosing behavior such as aggregation level, permissions, or data format. The return value is presumably covered by the output schema, but the description adds no behavioral context.

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 efficiently states the tool's purpose. It is front-loaded with no unnecessary words, though it could slightly expand on key details.

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 many sibling analytics tools, the description does not provide enough context to differentiate usage or expected output. It lacks information about required parameters or typical use cases.

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 100% with descriptions for all three parameters. The description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 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?

Description clearly states it retrieves statistics about IPv4 vs IPv6 usage, with a specific verb and resource. It is distinguishable from siblings like getAnalyticsIPs and getAnalyticsIPVersionsSeries.

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 like getAnalyticsIPs or getAnalyticsIPVersionsSeries. The agent must infer usage 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.
