get_bluetooth_status

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral burden. The verb 'Get' and the list of returned fields clearly indicate this is a read-only operation with no apparent side effects. It could additionally mention that it does not modify state, but the description is sufficient for a getter.

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 two concise sentences with no filler. The main action is front-loaded, and the output contents are listed efficiently without redundancy.

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?

With zero parameters, no annotations, and an output schema present, the description fully covers what an agent needs to select and invoke this tool. It names the resource, lists the key output fields, and leaves return-value formatting to the output schema.

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 description does not need to explain parameter semantics. The baseline for no-parameter tools is 4, and the description appropriately provides no parameter-related information.

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 specific verb and resource, 'Get Bluetooth adapter status,' and further specifies what is included: adapter name, address, power state, and paired devices. This clearly differentiates it from other status getters and Bluetooth-related siblings like set_bluetooth_power and start_bluetooth_pairing.

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?

The description implies this tool is for reading current Bluetooth adapter state, but it does not explicitly state when to use it over alternatives or when not to use it. For a simple zero-parameter status getter, the intended use is reasonably inferable, but there is no direct usage routing.

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