Preguntas Frecuentes

Tendencias normalizadas de jugadores concurrentes (escala 0-100) para cualquier juego en Steam. Devuelve series temporales semanales, tasas de crecimiento y datos de pico de jugadores. Útil para rastrear el impulso de un juego antes y después de lanzamientos, actualizaciones o eventos de ventas.

¿Cómo identifico un juego para la consulta?

Usa el nombre visible del juego tal como aparece en Steam – por ejemplo 'Counter-Strike 2', 'Palworld', o 'Elden Ring'. El servidor MCP resuelve el nombre al ID de aplicación de Steam correcto automáticamente.

¿Qué es el número de jugadores concurrentes?

El número de jugadores que están activamente en el juego al mismo tiempo, rastreado por Steam. El pico de jugadores concurrentes (PCU) es una métrica estándar para medir la popularidad de un juego y su nivel de participación en vivo.

¿Cómo es útil esto para inversiones o investigación de mercado?

Estudios de juegos, inversores y analistas utilizan las tendencias de jugadores de Steam para medir el impulso comercial de un título, identificar juegos emergentes tempranamente y rastrear cómo un juego retiene jugadores con el tiempo.

¿Hasta cuándo se remontan los datos?

Hasta 5 años de datos semanales, proporcionándote el historial completo de lanzamientos, ciclos estacionales y tendencias de retención a largo plazo para cualquier juego en Steam.

Available Tools

3 tools
get_growthA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Point-to-point growth for a keyword on one or more sources. Each window is a preset string (12M, 3M, YTD, and the other listed periods). Values are on a 0-100 scale, plus absolute volume when available. Prefer this over get_time_series for growth questions. app downloads and app rankings are keyword sources (Android bundle ID). They are not the App Store / Google Play live boards on get_top_trends. If the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up, tell the user their plan limit is reached.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sourceYesOne source, or comma-separated sources (e.g. 'amazon, tiktok, youtube'). Valid: 'google search', 'google images', 'google news', 'google shopping', 'youtube', 'wikipedia', 'tiktok', 'reddit', 'amazon', 'news sentiment', 'news volume', 'npm', 'python', 'steam', 'app downloads', 'app rankings'.
keywordYesWhat to look up. The string format is required by source. Standard sources (google search, google images, google news, google shopping, youtube, wikipedia, tiktok, reddit, amazon, news sentiment, news volume): any name or phrase, e.g. 'nike'. npm: exact npmjs.com package name, case-sensitive. Right: 'react', '@babel/core'. Wrong: 'React', 'React.js'. python: exact PyPI project name. Right: 'pandas', 'requests'. Wrong: 'Pandas'. steam: game display name in plain English, not a Steam App ID. Right: 'Elden Ring', 'CS2'. First Steam store search result wins, so use an unambiguous name. app downloads and app rankings: Android bundle ID only (the id= value on Google Play). Right: 'com.openai.chatgpt', 'com.whatsapp'. Wrong: 'ChatGPT', 'WhatsApp', an iOS App Store ID, or a bundle ID that is not Android. Find it at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=THIS_PART. If the request includes app downloads or app rankings with other sources, keyword must still be the Android bundle ID.
percent_growthNoGrowth windows. Default if omitted: ['12M']. Each item must be a preset string: '7D', '1W', '14D', '2W', '30D', '1M', '2M', '3M', '6M', '9M', '12M', '1Y', '18M', '24M', '2Y', '36M', '3Y', '48M', '4Y', '60M', '5Y', 'MTD', 'QTD', 'YTD'. Every preset is a two-date comparison.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint annotations, the description adds useful behavioral context: values are on a 0-100 scale with absolute volume when available, and the agent should tell the user their plan limit is reached on rate limiting or quota exhaustion. These details are not present in the structured fields and do not contradict the 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 compact and every sentence earns its place: core operation, output scale, sibling preference, app-source caveat, and rate-limit handling. It front-loads the primary purpose and avoids redundant phrasing.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With a detailed input schema, an output schema, and safety annotations, the description fills the remaining gaps: tool selection, output scale, source disambiguation, and error behavior. It is complete enough for an agent to invoke the tool correctly without further inference.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The input schema already documents all parameters thoroughly, including valid sources, keyword formatting rules per source, and every preset growth window. The description references preset windows and Android bundle IDs but does not add meaning beyond the schema, so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description opens with a specific action and resource: 'Point-to-point growth for a keyword on one or more sources.' It also names sibling tools to disambiguate itself, stating it is preferred over get_time_series for growth questions and clarifying that app sources are not the live boards on get_top_trends.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It gives an explicit selection rule: 'Prefer this over get_time_series for growth questions.' It also warns against confusing app downloads/app rankings with get_top_trends live boards, and specifies how to handle rate limits or quota exhaustion. This gives the agent clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

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

get_time_seriesA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Full historical series for one keyword and one source (0-100 values, plus volume when available). Use for charting or custom math. Not for live 'what's trending now' boards (use get_top_trends). For most growth questions, use get_growth. If the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up, tell the user their plan limit is reached.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sourceYesExactly one source per request. Valid: 'google search', 'google images', 'google news', 'google shopping', 'youtube', 'wikipedia', 'tiktok', 'reddit', 'amazon', 'news sentiment', 'news volume', 'npm', 'python', 'steam', 'app downloads', 'app rankings'.
keywordYesWhat to look up. The string format is required by source. Standard sources (google search, google images, google news, google shopping, youtube, wikipedia, tiktok, reddit, amazon, news sentiment, news volume): any name or phrase, e.g. 'tesla'. npm: exact npmjs.com package name, case-sensitive. Right: 'react', '@babel/core'. Wrong: 'React', 'React.js'. python: exact PyPI project name. Right: 'pandas', 'requests'. Wrong: 'Pandas'. steam: game display name in plain English, not a Steam App ID. Right: 'Elden Ring', 'CS2'. First Steam store search result wins, so use an unambiguous name. app downloads and app rankings: Android bundle ID only (the id= value on Google Play). Right: 'com.openai.chatgpt', 'com.whatsapp'. Wrong: 'ChatGPT', 'WhatsApp', an iOS App Store ID, or a bundle ID that is not Android. Find it at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=THIS_PART.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already cover readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. The description adds behavioral context beyond those hints: the 0-100 value range, volume availability, and rate-limit/quota handling instructions. This provides useful operational detail that annotations do not convey, though the core safety profile is already covered by hints.

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?

Three sentences, each earning its place: purpose and scope, usage routing, and error handling. Front-loaded with the core purpose; no repetition or fluff. The alternative tool routing is included efficiently.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given a two-parameter tool with a full output schema, the description covers purpose, usage scenarios, alternatives, and error handling. An agent has all necessary information to decide when to call it and what to expect, with no critical gaps.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100% and both parameters have detailed, source-specific descriptions (e.g., keyword format per source, valid source list). The tool description adds no additional parameter meaning beyond restating 'one keyword and one source', so the baseline for full schema coverage applies.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description explicitly states it returns 'Full historical series for one keyword and one source' with a value range and volume detail. It distinguishes itself from siblings get_top_trends and get_growth by stating what it is not for (live trending, growth questions), making the tool's purpose unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Directly states when to use it: 'Use for charting or custom math' and when not to: 'Not for live trending (use get_top_trends)' and 'For most growth questions, use get_growth'. Also provides explicit handling for rate-limited or quota-exhausted requests, which is actionable guidance.

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

Scored across 3 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct query type: get_growth handles point-to-point growth, get_time_series provides full historical series, and get_top_trends returns live top-trending boards. The descriptions explicitly cross-reference when to prefer one tool over another, so there is little risk of misselection.

Naming Consistency5/5

All three tool names follow the same get_<specific_noun> pattern using snake_case. The verb prefix is consistent and the object distinguishes the data shape clearly.

Tool Count5/5

Three tools is within the ideal 3-15 range and each one earns its place by covering a distinct data retrieval mode. No redundant or filler tools exist.

Completeness4/5

The set covers the core needs for this domain: historical series, growth calculations, and live trend boards. A minor gap is that there is no explicit tool for listing available sources or categories, though the descriptions mention them inline.
