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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It suggests a read-only status check and identifies the returned information, but it does not disclose whether data is live or cached, whether any side effects exist, or whether authentication is required.

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?

The description is a single, tightly written sentence that front-loads the resource and purpose before listing the key output fields. Every word adds relevant information with no redundancy.

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?

Given the low complexity—no parameters, no annotations, no output schema—the description covers the essential return categories: strategy version, symbol, and performance stats. It leaves 'performance stats' somewhat vague, but for a zero-input status tool the description is largely adequate.

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 has zero parameters and the schema is empty, so there are no parameter semantics to explain. The description appropriately focuses on the output contents instead of input details.

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 identifies the resource as the CryptoPulse Alpha trading bot and the purpose as retrieving its status. It enumerates specific contents—strategy version, symbol, performance stats—which distinguishes it from sibling tools focused on market data, smart money, signals, wallets, and whales.

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 implies the tool should be used when the agent needs information about the CryptoPulse Alpha bot's current operating state. However, it gives no explicit guidance about when to prefer this tool over sibling tools or any exclusions, so the usage context is only inferred.

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