Video Integration Status

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Return...' which implies a read operation but does not disclose output format, potential errors, authentication requirements, or side effects. For a status tool, this is minimal and leaves the agent guessing about the response structure.

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, front-loaded sentence with no filler words. It states the action immediately and stays concise, making it easy to parse quickly.

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 absence of an output schema, the description should clarify what the returned 'integration flow' looks like. It does not specify whether it is a status enum, a list of implemented features, or a narrative. For a zero-param tool, this lack of detail is a significant gap, leaving an agent unsure of what to expect.

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 schema already covers everything. The baseline for 0 params is 4, and the description does not need to explain any parameters. It adds no extra meaning but none is required.

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 uses a clear verb-resource pair ('Return the implemented ... flow') and identifies the domain (SJTU video/subtitle/PPT integration). It distinguishes from siblings like get_video_info or get_video_subtitle by focusing on the overall flow rather than individual components. However, 'integration flow' is slightly ambiguous and could be more specific about what it represents.

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 given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that it is for checking overall integration status, nor does it reference any sibling tools or exclusion criteria. An agent is left to infer its purpose without explicit context.

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