Free, no-quota health probe. Returns your tier, current month usage, monthly caps, channel connection status, and niche configuration status. Use this from your agent on every cold start.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, description fully covers behavior: it is a read-only, no-quota probe that returns specific data fields. No undisclosed side effects.
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?
Two sentences, no wasted words, key information (free, no-quota, returns list) presented first.
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?
With zero parameters and no output schema, the description sufficiently explains tool behavior and return data, leaving no gaps for this simple tool.
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?
No parameters exist, so baseline 4 applies. Description adds value by explaining the output of the tool, which is relevant for an agent's decision-making.
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 it is a 'health probe' and lists specific return values (tier, usage, caps, channel connection, niche config). Distinguishes from siblings as a system-status tool.
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?
Explicitly instructs the agent to use it 'on every cold start', and notes it is free with no quota, encouraging frequent safe usage.
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.
Most tools have distinct purposes and clear descriptions, but there is some potential confusion among the four Polymarket-related tools (categorize, edge, signals, top_traders) and among the multiple 'alya_' prefixed tools that query different data sources.
Naming patterns are mixed: some tools use 'alya_' prefix, others use action-based names like 'batch_calibrate' or 'image_gen', and YouTube tools all start with 'youtube_'. The inconsistency in prefixes and verb styles makes the set less predictable.
32 tools is high for an MCP server, and they span a wide, unrelated set of domains (Polymarket, YouTube, gemology, weather, earthquakes, health, celebrity, etc.), making the surface feel bloated and unfocused.
Each domain has incomplete coverage: Polymarket lacks trade execution, YouTube automation depends on external OAuth, health tools only offer diagnosis and drug interactions without follow-up, and other domains have minimal tooling. The server feels like a collection of one-off features rather than a coherent surface.
