bing_crawl_stats

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

No annotations provided; description must carry full burden. Only states 'get crawl stats' – no disclosure of read-only nature, authentication needs, rate limits, or error behavior.

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?

Extremely concise single sentence. Could be minimally expanded without harming conciseness, but for the content provided, it is well-structured.

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?

No output schema and description does not mention return format or kind of stats. Agent is left guessing what data will be returned.

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 covers 100% of the one parameter with example URL. Description adds no additional semantics beyond what the schema provides, so baseline score.

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?

Description states 'get crawl stats for a site' – clear verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from siblings like bing_crawl_issues or bing_rank_traffic_stats, which also deal with crawl data.

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 tool versus alternatives. With many sibling tools, an agent cannot determine if this is the right choice.

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