System info

system_info
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieves OS build, GPU driver details, UTC offset, and current UTC time; call it first to anchor incident timelines and convert local times to UTC before querying crash windows.

Instructions

OS caption and build (with UBR), every GPU with vendor and driver version/date, utc_offset_minutes (local = UTC + offset), and now: the host's current time in UTC. Call this first. Take today's date from now, never from your own clock, then convert the user's local time to UTC with UTC = local - offset before querying any window.

Tool call template

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

  }
}

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, closed-world), so the description correctly spends its words elsewhere: it declares that this tool is the authoritative source for 'now' and that the agent's own clock must not be trusted. This is genuinely actionable behavioral context. It stops short of stating latency, caching, or whether the time is sampled once per call, which is the only remaining gap.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is a single tight paragraph that front-loads the return contents and then pivots to the operational instructions. The construction 'and now: the host's current time in UTC' is slightly clumsy mid-sentence, but no sentence is disposable.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present, the description does not need to document return shapes, yet it still summarizes them briefly. For a zero-parameter, read-only environment probe, everything an agent needs to select and correctly use the tool is present, including the critical time-anchoring rule.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is no schema semantics to add or omit, and the baseline of 4 applies. The description also does not waste space inventing parameter discussion for a parameterless call.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description enumerates the exact data returned: 'OS caption and build (with UBR), every GPU with vendor and driver version/date, utc_offset_minutes..., and the host's current time in UTC.' That is a specific resource with a concrete field list, and it clearly separates this from siblings like list_tdr_incidents or dxdiag_summary, which cover incidents and report summaries rather than raw host environment facts.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

'Call this first' removes the ordering ambiguity outright, and the follow-on instruction gives the exact procedure for any time-windowed query: 'Take today's date from now, never from your own clock, then convert the user's local time to UTC with UTC = local - offset.' An explicit exclusion ('never from your own clock') is included, which is the strongest form of guidance.

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