get_plugin_stats

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

No annotations are present, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the tool is read-only, response format, pagination, rate limits, or any side effects. For a read-like operation, this is a significant gap.

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, front-loaded with the purpose, and includes a specific example of metrics. It could be more concise by removing redundancy (e.g., 'Estadisticas de plugins' and 'Metricas del plugin...') but overall is brief and to the point.

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 and 4 optional parameters, the description lists example metrics but does not specify return structure, aggregation level, or whether results are filtered by plugin_type. It is adequate for a simple stats tool but leaves ambiguity about output format.

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 description does not elaborate on parameters beyond what is in the schema. The schema already covers 75% of parameters with descriptions. The description adds value by narrowing the tool's context to Product Q&A, but does not explain parameter usage or format.

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 specifies the tool retrieves statistics for the Product Q&A plugin, listing specific metrics (questions, visitors, most consulted products) and including a [query] hint. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling stats tools like get_product_qa_stats or get_chat_plugin_stats.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, exclusions, or context about the data source. The description only states what it does, not usage conditions.

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