Process snapshot

process_snapshot
Read-onlyIdempotent

Capture current memory, disk queue/throughput, and top processes by working set, page faults, or I/O to diagnose live Windows performance state; not historical incidents.

Instructions

Current memory (commit used/limit, available), per-disk queue length and throughput, and the top processes by working set, page faults or I/O bytes. Reflects the state NOW, not at a past incident: weak evidence for anything that already happened. Command lines are never collected.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "params": {
    "arguments": {},
    "name": "process_snapshot"
  }
}

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real context beyond that: the snapshot is instantaneous (so it can be stale relative to an incident) and command lines are deliberately omitted, which tells the agent not to expect argv data and prevents it from promising that evidence.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three tight sentences: the returned data first, the temporal caveat second, the data-collection limit last. Every clause carries information and nothing is padded.

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?

With an output schema present, return-shape details are unnecessary, and the description covers content, temporal validity and a data limitation for a two-parameter read-only tool. Only the absence of an explicitly named alternative tool keeps it from being fully complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both parameters are already documented, and the description only restates the ranking keys (working set, page faults, I/O bytes) that the sort_by enum already enumerates. It adds no format or interpretation detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 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 names the exact resources returned (memory commit used/limit and available, per-disk queue length and throughput, top processes) and the ranking metrics, so an agent knows precisely what it gets. It stops short of naming a sibling tool, but the 'state NOW, not at a past incident' clause implicitly separates it from historical tools like query_events and list_tdr_incidents.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives a clear when-not rule: this reflects the present moment and is 'weak evidence for anything that already happened,' which steers the agent away from using it for post-incident analysis. The counterpart alternative is only implied, not named, so the routing guidance is strong but not complete.

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