kimi_status

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. 'Installation, auth, and diagnostics' does not disclose whether tool is read-only, destructive, or what side effects occur. Behavioral traits are not described.

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?

Very concise (3 words) but lacks detail. While brevity is positive, it compromises informational value. Front-loads key terms but not fully earned.

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 3 parameters, no annotations, no output schema, the description is incomplete. Does not explain return values, the nature of diagnostics, or how auth/installation are checked. Insufficient for complete understanding.

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?

Schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for all 3 parameters. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema (e.g., mentions 'diagnostics' relating to doctor subcall). Baseline score applicable.

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?

Description states 'Installation, auth, and diagnostics' – a general purpose but not specific verb+resource. The name 'kimi_status' implies status checking, but description is broader. Does not clearly distinguish from siblings like kimi_setup (installation) or kimi_tasks (diagnostics?). Adequate but not precise.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No context on prerequisites or scenarios. Agent has to infer usage from sibling tool names.

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