run_producthunt_users_upvotes

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden and does reasonably well: it discloses the newest-first ordering, the site-imposed 200-upvote ceiling, the returned fields (votes, comments, ranks, dates), and the cost model (1 point per record). It does not explain how start_page/max_items interact with the 200 cap.

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?

Two tight sentences with the core action and the critical cap front-loaded. No filler, though the phrasing 'Launches a Product Hunt user upvoted' is slightly awkward.

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 3-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers returned fields, ordering, scope cap, and pricing. The main omission is how pagination parameters behave against the 200-record ceiling.

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 100%, so all three parameters are already documented. The description adds ordering context ('newest first') but no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb and resource: returns the launches a Product Hunt user upvoted, with ordering and returned fields. It is distinguishable from siblings such as run_producthunt_users_launches (launches by user) by the 'upvoted' framing, though it never explicitly names that sibling.

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 on when to use this versus similar Product Hunt user tools, and no exclusions. The only contextual note is the 200-upvote cap, which is a constraint rather than a selection criterion.

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