v1.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent behavior, and the description adds no behavioral context beyond 'Get'. It does not state whether results are ranked, paginated, or limited to a period, so it contributes no information beyond the 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?
A single short sentence with no wasted words. It is concise but slightly under-specified; the brevity is not itself a flaw.
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 tool with no output schema and many analytics siblings, more context is needed: what metric ranks browsers, what the returned list looks like, and how time_span/from/to shape results. The description is a minimum-viable label rather than a complete tool definition.
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 already documents env_id, to, and from, while time_span has an enum, covering about 75% of parameters. The description adds nothing about parameters, but because the schema is mostly self-explanatory, the gap is modest.
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 a specific action ('Get') and resource ('top browsers'), which is a distinct report among the top-* analytics siblings. It lacks detail on what defines 'top' (e.g., visits vs. sessions), but the core purpose is unambiguous.
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 over kinsta_analytics_top-uas, top-countries, or other analytics siblings. An agent must infer use entirely from the resource name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
