renforge_launch_status

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the possible return values but does not explain error conditions, what happens if no launch exists, whether the call is read-only, or if there are side effects. Minimal behavioral context is provided.

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, front-loaded sentence with no redundant information. It is concise and to the point, though it omits useful context that could be added without much bloat.

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 simple tool with one parameter, a terse description, and no annotations, the description is under-specified. It conveys the return values but lacks parameter explanation, usage context, and any relationship to sibling tools. The presence of an output schema does not mitigate the need for parameter and usage context.

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 only parameter, project_path, is a bare string with no schema description. The tool description does not mention the parameter at all, so the agent has no information about what project_path should be or how it relates to the status query. Schema coverage is 0% and the description fails to compensate.

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 'Return' and clearly identifies the resource: the status of a background launch, listing the exact possible values. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like renforge_launch by focusing on status rather than initiation.

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. There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., having a launched background process), no mention of polling patterns, and no contrast with alternatives such as renforge_poll_events or renforge_launch.

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