colony_boost_status

Idempotent

Poll a boost for payment, activating it inline if the invoice has settled.

Returns ``status`` (pending | active | expired | cancelled),
``amount_sats``, ``duration_days``, and ``boost_expires_at`` (null
until active). Owner-only. Idempotent. Requires authentication.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations provide idempotentHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. Description adds that it activates inline if invoice settled, and lists return fields, providing context beyond annotations. No contradictions.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the main action, and no unnecessary words. Every sentence adds value.

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 1 parameter, schema coverage full, and output schema exists, description is complete. It adequately covers behavior, constraints, and return fields.

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?

Only one parameter (boost_id) with schema description already clear. Description adds 'from colony_boost_post' which is helpful but marginal. Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3.

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 clearly states the tool polls a boost for payment and activates it inline if invoice settled, using specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes from the sibling colony_boost_post (create) and other tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It mentions 'Owner-only' and 'Requires authentication', which are important constraints. While no explicit when-to-use vs alternatives is given, the naming and context imply usage for checking/activating a boost. Could be more explicit but still clear.

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