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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden; it discloses the safety profile by framing the call as a read ('读取授权账号'), and it preempts two real misreadings: plan=free is not equivalent to unusable, and a positive balance requires no purchase or repeated confirmation. It does not mention auth scopes, rate limits, or error behavior, so it falls short of a 5.

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, front-loaded with the returned data, then the decision rule, then the free-plan caveat. Every sentence carries operational meaning, though the second sentence is dense enough that it could be split for faster scanning.

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, so the description must name the return values; it does so concretely (credits, can_start_research_review, next-step guidance) and adds the interpretation rules an agent needs to act on them. For a zero-parameter read tool, nothing further is required.

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 tool takes zero parameters, which is the baseline-4 case, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. Omitting parameter talk is correct here.

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 opens with a specific verb ('读取') and names the exact resources returned: available credits, the can_start_research_review flag, and next-step guidance. This is clearly distinct from the sibling tools, which all operate on research tasks, uploads, or artifacts, so an agent can route to it without opening the schema.

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?

It gives explicit conditional guidance: if credits are available (including gift credits), execute the user's already-stated task directly without recharging, buying a plan, or re-confirming the spend; only prompt for top-up when the balance is insufficient. It does not explicitly say 'call this before start_research_review' or name a sibling as an alternative, which keeps it from a 5.

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