get_storage_status

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full transparency burden. It indicates a read-only operation through '查看' and '获取' and describes the output as JSON containing local/remote storage status and pull configuration. However, it does not disclose whether remote access is performed, failure behavior, or permission requirements, though the getter nature mitigates this somewhat.

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 short and front-loaded with the core purpose, then expands on what status includes. There is minor redundancy between the first and second lines, but the overall length is appropriate for a no-parameter status tool.

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?

For a zero-parameter read-only status tool, the description sufficiently covers what the tool does and what it returns. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to document return structure in detail. It lacks explicit alternative routing, but the low complexity makes this acceptable.

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, so the baseline is 4. The description does not need to explain parameter meanings, and it appropriately focuses on the return value and purpose instead.

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 states the tool gets storage configuration and status, with an explicit verb ('获取') and resource ('存储配置和状态'), and further details local and remote storage status. It is distinct from get_system_status or get_rss_feeds_status by focusing specifically on storage, though it does not explicitly name sibling alternatives.

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?

No guidance is provided about when to choose this tool over related tools such as get_current_config, get_system_status, or sync_from_remote. The description implies use when storage status is needed, but it does not state exclusions, prerequisites, or alternatives.

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