get_spam_stats

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It lists the statistics returned, but does not disclose behavioral traits such as data freshness (real-time vs cached), rate limits, or what happens when no data is available. It is adequate but could be improved.

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?

One sentence, very concise and to the point. It could be slightly more structured, but efficiently communicates the purpose and content.

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?

The description lists six statistics, but does not elaborate on 'by type' (what types?) or provide context on the output. With no output schema, more detail would be beneficial. It is somewhat incomplete.

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?

There are no parameters (0 params, schema coverage 100%). The description adds no parameter info, but since there are none, the baseline is 4. The schema already suffices.

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 clearly states the tool returns spam statistics with specific metrics like total, pending review, false positives, etc. It distinguishes itself from sibling stats tools which focus on other domains (e.g., platform, processing, storage).

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?

The description implies usage for retrieving spam statistics, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any conditions for use. No exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.

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