get_metrics_overview

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

Without annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits, but it only says 'Get platform KPIs overview,' implying a read operation. It does not mention any side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or data freshness. A score of 2 reflects this minimal disclosure.

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, making it concise and front-loaded. It is clear but could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness. It earns its place but leaves room for improvement.

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 no output schema, no annotations, and many sibling tools with similar names, the description is too brief to provide contextual completeness. It does not explain what KPIs are included, how the overview differs from other 'get_*' tools, or what the output structure looks like.

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 input schema is empty with 0 parameters, so schema coverage is trivially 100%. The description adds no parameter information, but that is acceptable given no parameters. However, it could clarify what the returned overview contains. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 platform KPIs overview' states a verb and a resource, but 'KPIs overview' is somewhat vague and does not clearly differentiate from siblings like 'get_platform_stats_overview' which likely returns similar data. It lacks specificity about which KPIs are included.

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 usage context is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_platform_dashboard' or 'get_platform_stats_overview'. There is no guidance on prerequisites or exclusions.

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