panelica_antivirus_get_v1_antivirus_status

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, which the description confirms with 'Read-only.' It adds the required scope security:read and the HTTP method, but does not disclose any deeper behavioral traits such as response shape or latency characteristics.

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 highly concise, front-loading 'List status' before providing HTTP method, category, required scope, and read-only flag in a clean structured format. Every line carries useful information with no waste.

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?

For a parameterless GET endpoint, the description provides the endpoint, category, required scope, and safety profile, which is sufficient for an agent to select and invoke it. However, since there is no output schema, the description does not clarify what the returned status represents (e.g., protection state, last scan time, version), leaving minor ambiguity.

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 and an empty input schema, so there is no parameter ambiguity. Baseline 4 applies because the description has nothing to add beyond the schema.

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 states 'List status' with the explicit HTTP GET /v1/antivirus/status, and the tool name identifies the antivirus resource. This is enough to distinguish it from sibling antivirus operations like scan, quarantine, and scan_id, though 'status' is not expanded to clarify what status information is returned.

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 for when to use this tool versus alternatives such as panelica_antivirus_post_v1_antivirus_scan or panelica_antivirus_get_v1_antivirus_quarantine. The description only lists required scopes and read-only nature, with no selection criteria or exclusions.

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