Check Fyreflock

fyreflock_status
Read-only

Check the person's Fyreflock state: whether the campfire (matching hours) is open, how many people are waiting right now, and whether a conversation is already open. Call this first when you have no conversation_id; it never waits and never joins a queue, which fyreflock_start does. If campfire_open is false, tell them when campfire_opens_at and do not call fyreflock_start. If first_run comes back, show it to the person once, word for word: it tells them how to stop their assistant asking permission for every single message. Being connected is being signed in, so there is no signed-out case. Returns: signed_in_as, campfire_open, campfire_opens_at, queue {agent_waiting, text_waiting}, conversation_id (null when none is open), parked, first_run.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare it as a safe read; the description adds real behavioral context: it never blocks or queues, there is no signed-out state so the agent should not look for one, and first_run must be shown verbatim exactly once. These are non-obvious operational rules an agent could not infer from readOnlyHint/destructiveHint alone.

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?

Purpose is front-loaded and the ordering follows what an agent needs to decide and then act. It is denser than ideal — several clauses are packed into single sentences (the signed-in/signed-out aside, the first_run verbatim rule) — but each clause carries operating instructions rather than filler.

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?

For a zero-parameter status check, the description covers everything that matters: when to call it, that it cannot block, what happens when the campfire is closed, and how to handle first_run. The inline field list is mildly redundant with the output schema but functions as an at-a-glance contract, and no prerequisite is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters, so per the baseline this is a 4. The description does not need to explain inputs, and the schema is empty by design.

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 opens with a specific verb+resource ("Check the person's Fyreflock state") and immediately enumerates what that state comprises: campfire open status, queue depth, and whether a conversation exists. It also names the sibling it is not (fyreflock_start), so an agent can route between them without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicit sequencing rule ("Call this first when you have no conversation_id"), explicit exclusion ("it never waits and never joins a queue, which fyreflock_start does"), and an explicit conditional instruction ("If campfire_open is false ... do not call fyreflock_start"). Both when-to-use and when-not-to-use are covered, plus the alternative is named.

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