Account status

status
Read-only

Free, Standard and Pro: plan, combined usage and upstream freshness. status calls do not count against the daily quota (usage_today leaves them out) but do count toward the per-minute limit.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, but the description adds non-obvious behavioral context: status calls are excluded from usage_today daily quota yet still count toward the per-minute limit. This is exactly the kind of rate-limit nuance an agent needs, though authentication requirements and error behavior remain unstated.

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?

Two short sentences with no filler. The returned fields are front-loaded, followed by the quota behavior. The first sentence is slightly telegraphic but still readable.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a no-parameter, read-only status tool, the description covers what is returned and the key quota caveat without needing an output schema. It is close to complete, missing only explicit return-shape or error details that are not essential here.

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 has zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to clarify beyond the schema. Baseline 4 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?

The description identifies the resource as account status and names the returned information: plan, combined usage, and upstream freshness, with plan tiers Free/Standard/Pro. It is clearly distinct from the content-oriented siblings, though it uses a noun phrase rather than an explicit verb.

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?

Usage is implied rather than stated: the quota note tells an agent this call is cheap against the daily quota, which helps decide when to invoke it. There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance relative to the sibling tools.

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