Get container recent RRD samples

get_container_rrddata
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetches recent RRD samples for a Proxmox LXC container, returning performance metrics over a specified timeframe (hour, day, week, month, or year).

Instructions

Return recent RRD samples for an LXC container.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare the tool as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds the term 'recent' but does not clarify the time range or other behavioral traits like data format or potential size. It is adequate but adds minimal value beyond annotations.

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 a single sentence that is front-loaded and contains no unnecessary words. It is appropriately concise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (3 required params, no output schema, no parameter descriptions), the description is insufficient. It does not explain what RRD samples are, what the output looks like, or how the timeframe parameter works. It only covers the bare minimum.

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

Parameters1/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must explain the parameters. It does not mention 'node', 'vmid', or 'timeframe' at all, leaving the agent without any semantic context for these required fields.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states that the tool returns recent RRD samples for an LXC container. It uses a specific verb (Return) and resource (RRD samples for LXC container). However, it does not distinguish itself from the sibling tool 'get_container_rrd' which likely has a similar purpose.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_container_rrd' or 'get_vm_rrddata'. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or exclusions.

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