twitch_top_games

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose authentication requirements and behavioral traits. It does not mention that client_id and client_secret are needed for authentication, nor does it describe pagination or rate limits. The description only implies a read operation.

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, but it is under-specified. Conciseness should not come at the cost of missing essential details like authentication and parameter usage.

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 has no output schema and no annotations, the description is far from complete. It does not explain the output format, authentication flow, or what 'top games' means in a way an AI agent can reliably use.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It does not mention the meaning of 'first' (likely a limit), nor the authentication purpose of 'client_id' and 'client_secret'. This is a critical gap.

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 'Get top games currently streaming on Twitch' clearly states the verb (get) and resource (top games), and distinguishes from sibling tools like twitch_search_games and twitch_get_stream. However, it does not specify what constitutes 'top' (e.g., by viewer count).

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 like twitch_search_games or twitch_get_stream. The description lacks any context for tool selection.

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