sdcloud_get_template_preview_status

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

With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, latency, or error states. It only states a simple read operation, lacking details about what the status represents or boundary conditions.

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 sentence of 8 words. It is concise and front-loaded with the core action. However, it could benefit from additional context without being verbose.

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 no output schema and minimal description, the tool is incomplete. It does not describe the response format, possible status values, or how to correlate with other preview-related tools. For a status-check tool, this is insufficient.

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 coverage is 0%, meaning the schema provides no description for the 'preview_id' parameter. The tool description does not explain what preview_id is or how to obtain it, adding no value beyond the schema structure.

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 clearly states the tool retrieves the overall status of a template preview job. It uses the verb 'Get' and specifies the resource. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool 'sdcloud_get_template_preview_result_by_device', though the word 'overall' hints at aggregation.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'sdcloud_get_template_preview_result_by_device' or 'sdcloud_get_template_deploy_status'. There is no mention of prerequisites, conditions, or typical use cases.

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