get_dns_firewall_analytics

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears the full burden of explaining behavior. 'Get DNS Firewall analytics' conveys that this is a read operation but does not disclose what metrics are returned, whether a time range is needed, how data is aggregated, or any pagination/response characteristics.

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, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is concise, though the brevity comes at the cost of behavioral and contextual detail.

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?

There is no output schema and no annotations, so the description should explain what the analytics response contains. It does not, leaving the agent uncertain about the shape or meaning of the returned data. For a simple two-parameter tool, the input side is covered, but the output and behavioral side is incomplete.

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 description coverage is 100%, and both account_id and cluster_id have clear descriptions. The description adds no additional parameter nuance beyond the schema, but the baseline of 3 is appropriate since the schema already documents the parameters adequately.

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 uses a specific verb ('Get') and identifies a clear resource ('DNS Firewall analytics') scoped to a cluster. It is sufficiently distinct from cluster configuration tools like get_dns_firewall_cluster, though it doesn't explicitly contrast itself with other analytics tools such as get_dns_analytics_report or get_zone_analytics.

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 the tool is used when DNS Firewall analytics are needed, but it gives no guidance on when to choose this over the many sibling analytics tools, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions. In a sibling list containing get_dns_analytics_report, get_zone_analytics, and get_spectrum_analytics_summary, an agent gets no decision support.

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