Zambo AI Tools

Ghost Audit Status

ghost_audit_status

Read-onlyIdempotent

Status report for a Ghost Audit identified by audit_id. Returns whether the audit is running or complete, along with elapsed-time information and report availability. Required arguments: audit_id.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`_ref`	No	Optional handover referral ID from your install link.
`audit_id`	Yes	The audit_id returned by ghost_audit_site
`_zambo_key`	No	Optional opaque Zambo access capability. Never place it in a URL or public log.
`_session_id`	No	Optional stable bot-job ID. Reuse it across calls to bind a Day Pass and keep the job ledger together.
`_caller_label`	No	Optional caller label recorded as a caller-reported claim in the receipt.	zambo-starter
`_caller_handle`	No	Opaque anonymous continuity handle returned during initialize. Reuse it across MCP sessions; it is not payment authorization.
`_continuity_ai_label`	No	Optional self-reported AI client label for the private continuity timeline. Zambo does not independently verify the client.

A3.6/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds that the call reports a running/complete state plus elapsed-time info, which helps an agent decide whether to poll again, but says nothing about expired/invalid audit_ids, retention, or rate limits.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and return content. Slight redundancy in the trailing 'Required arguments: audit_id' sentence, which merely restates the schema's required array, keeps it from a 5.

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?

The tool is a simple read-and-report call with an output schema present and full parameter documentation, so the description needn't explain return structure or the optional continuity fields. It covers the one thing an agent must know — what state the audit is in and how to reference it.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% and every parameter (including the optional continuity/telemetry fields) is documented in the schema. The description only restates that audit_id is required and does not add semantics beyond the schema's own 'audit_id returned by ghost_audit_site' note. Baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource ('Status report for a Ghost Audit'), keyed by audit_id, and enumerates what it returns (running vs complete, elapsed time, report availability). This distinguishes it reasonably from ghost_audit_site (which produces the audit_id) and ghost_audit_report (which it says becomes available), though it never names those siblings outright.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The polling/status-check use case is implied by 'Returns whether the audit is running or complete,' and the audit_id provenance ('returned by ghost_audit_site') is stated in the schema. But the description offers no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance relative to ghost_audit_report, and no hint about polling frequency.

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