Get CDN Bandwidth Usage

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, so the description's behavioral disclosure is minimal. It adds the note about 'billable' bandwidth, which hints at cost implications, but does not expand on idempotency or other traits. No contradiction with annotations.

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 of 10 words, directly conveying the tool's purpose without any extraneous information. It is perfectly concise and front-loaded.

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 tool's low complexity (3 params, all documented, output schema exists), the description is mostly complete. However, missing usage guidelines relative to sibling tools is a gap. Overall, it covers the core functionality well but could improve with context on when to use this over other analytics tools.

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%: each parameter (env_id, timeframe_start, timeframe_end) has a description in the input schema. The description adds no extra detail beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline expectation but provides no added value.

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 the tool retrieves CDN bandwidth usage analytics for an environment, specifically 'billable CDN bandwidth'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'kinsta.analytics.bandwidth' and 'kinsta.analytics.bandwidth-usage' which may cover different metrics. The verb 'Get' and resource 'CDN bandwidth usage analytics' provide precise action and scope.

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?

The description lacks guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'kinsta.analytics.cdn-bandwidth' or 'kinsta.analytics.bandwidth-usage'. No context is given about prerequisites, typical use cases, or scenarios where this tool is preferred. The agent must infer usage solely from the name.

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