v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only the read targets (autopilot progress, position) and says nothing about polling behaviour, whether it blocks, or how often progress updates, which are the meaningful unknowns for a status tool.
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?
A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; it names both return values in the order the tool name implies. Nothing is wasted.
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 tool the description is nearly adequate, and the annotations carry the safety picture. However, with no output schema and a near-identical sibling (avatar_position), the description never clarifies what 'status' returns beyond position, leaving the agent to guess at the progress payload.
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 takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description correctly implies no input is required, and there are no parameters whose meaning could be obscured.
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?
States a specific verb ('Read') and two specific resources ('autopilot progress and current avatar position'), which is well above tautology. It does not differentiate from the sibling avatar_position, so an agent cannot tell from the description alone why it should call this instead of that.
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?
There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, no mention of prerequisites such as needing an active control session, and no reference to alternatives like avatar_position despite the obvious overlap. Usage must be inferred entirely from the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
