The Ask AI trial or subscription for this account has ended, so the data tools are paused. Call this to get the account status and the reactivation link to share with the user. Connected data sources and history are preserved and reactivate instantly on subscribing.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does well by explaining what the call returns (status, reactivation link), the preservation of connected sources and history, and that reactivation is instant. It could be more explicit about read-only behavior, but the description sufficiently characterizes the tool's 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?
Three sentences: the first gives context, the second the action, and the third a reassurance. It is slightly more verbose than strictly necessary, but every sentence contributes useful context for correct invocation.
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?
The tool has no output schema, so the description must explain the return and it does: account status and reactivation link, plus the preservation/reactivation behavior. It is complete enough for a simple parameterless status tool, though exact response fields are not specified.
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 has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter details, but none are needed—there is nothing for an agent to configure.
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 names a specific verb ('Call this to get') and resource ('account status and the reactivation link'), and frames the situation precisely (trial/subscription ended, data tools paused). This is unambiguous and would let an agent know exactly what to expect.
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 clearly states when to use the tool: when the trial or subscription has ended and data tools are paused. It does not explicitly list alternatives or exclusions, but with no sibling tools that is not a significant gap.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Only one tool exists, so there is no possibility of confusing it with another. Its purpose of returning subscription status and a reactivation link is clearly defined.
The tool name get_subscription_status follows a clear verb_noun pattern. Even though it is the only tool, the naming is predictable, descriptive, and consistent with standard conventions.
A single tool is sparse, but for the narrow purpose of checking subscription status and returning a reactivation link, it is reasonably scoped. It does not feel excessive, though the server offers no other capabilities.
For the immediate need of informing users about an expired subscription and providing reactivation instructions, the tool is complete. There is no direct reactivation action, but the link is shared with the user, and the description states data sources reactivate instantly.
