get_quota

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden, and it delivers a genuinely useful behavioral trait: '(no quota consumed)' tells the agent this call is safe to make without side effects. It does not describe the return shape, but that is a minor gap for a simple read.

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?

A single, tightly written sentence that front-loads the verb and resource and appends the safety note in parentheses. Every clause earns its place with no filler.

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 simple, no-parameter, non-destructive read with no output schema, the description covers what the tool reports and one important behavioral caveat. Only the exact return format is unstated, which is acceptable given the tool's low complexity.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. There are no parameters for the description to add semantic meaning to, and nothing is left ambiguous for the caller.

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 (Show) and resource (current monthly unique-image usage) scoped to the configured API key. It is clearly a read-only status check, which implicitly separates it from the sibling generate_og_image, though it never names the sibling explicitly.

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?

Usage is implied — an informational check to run when you want to know quota/usage — but there is no explicit 'when to use this vs generate_og_image' statement or stated prerequisites. Adequate minimum-viable guidance for a zero-param status tool.

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