get_posthog_insight_details

Retrieve detailed information about a specific PostHog insight by providing project and insight IDs.

Instructions

Get details for a specific PostHog insight.

Args: project_id: The ID of the project as an integer (e.g. 99423) insight_id: The ID of the insight as an integer (e.g. 12345)

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'get details' but omits whether the operation is read-only, any authorization needs, rate limits, error handling, or response format. This is insufficient for a tool with zero annotation support.

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 very concise (two sentences plus arg list), front-loaded with the purpose, and every sentence adds necessary information. No wasted words.

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 tool has two simple integer parameters and no output schema. The description covers the basics but lacks details on return values (what constitutes 'details'), possible errors, or pagination. It is minimally complete given the context.

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

Parameters3/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds value by explaining each parameter (project_id, insight_id) as integers with examples. However, it does not clarify their source or validation rules, just barely meeting the baseline.

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 retrieves details for a specific PostHog insight, using the verb 'get' and specifying the resource. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list_posthog_insights (list) and search_posthog_insights (search).

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for a single insight but does not explicitly clarify when to use this tool over alternatives like listing or searching. No when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

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