Get Builders Volume

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not mention safety (read-only), authentication, rate limits, pagination, or return format. It merely restates the action without contextual details.

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, concise sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and effectively communicates the basic purpose.

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 tool with one optional parameter, the description gives the fundamental purpose but omits parameter details, default behavior, and response structure. Since there is no output schema, the agent has limited guidance on what to expect beyond 'time-series'.

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 schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not explain the `timePeriod` parameter. The word 'daily' imperfectly implies a default granularity but contradicts the enum values WEEK/MONTH/ALL. No additional meaning is added beyond what the enum already provides.

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 it retrieves volume time-series for builders, but the qualifier 'daily' is misleading since the `timePeriod` parameter supports WEEK, MONTH, and ALL as well. It does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like `get_live_volume` or `get_traded`.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description only states the core function without mention of exclusions, prerequisites, or related tools.

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