get_spectrum_analytics_summary

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. The word 'Get' implies a read operation, but the description does not state whether this is read-only, what scope the summary covers, whether time filters are applied, or what kind of response to expect. This is minimal disclosure that does not meaningfully characterize 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?

The description is a single concise sentence, but it essentially restates the tool name and adds no substantive information. It is structurally simple and front-loaded, but the sentence does not earn its place by distinguishing the tool or explaining its behavior.

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 tool with one required parameter and no output schema or annotations, the description is too sparse. It does not clarify what 'Spectrum analytics summary' returns, how far back the summary goes, or how it differs from the several other analytics tools listed as siblings. A real agent would need more context to select and call it confidently.

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 input schema covers 100% of the single parameter, zone_id, and documents it as 'The zone ID'. With full schema coverage, the baseline is 3, and the description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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, 'Get Spectrum analytics summary', restates the tool name almost verbatim and adds little independent meaning. It indicates a verb and resource, but does not explain what the summary contains, what time range it covers, or how it differs from sibling analytics tools such as get_zone_analytics, get_analytics_by_colo, and get_dns_analytics_report.

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 gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many analytics-related alternatives in the sibling list. It does not state exclusions, prerequisites, or which tool should be used instead for different analytics needs, leaving the agent to infer applicability from the name alone.

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