get_link_stats

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It lists the type of data returned but does not disclose if the operation is read-only, authentication needs, or any side effects. Partial transparency but missing key behavioral traits.

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?

Single sentence, zero fluff, clearly front-loaded with main action and details. Highly concise and efficiently 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?

For a simple one-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description covers the basics (what it does, what data categories). However, lacking output structure details, it is somewhat incomplete but reasonable given 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?

Only one parameter 'id' with schema description 'The link id'. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, and schema coverage is 100%. Baseline score of 3.

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 verb 'Get click analytics' and specifies the resource 'link', listing the types of analytics provided (clicks, geography, devices, browsers, referrers). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like check_url_health or get_qr_code.

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 when link analytics are needed, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. Usage is implied by the function.

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