aureon_registry_status

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and it does disclose one useful behavioral fact: the contract address is only present 'when configured', implying an optional/absent value. It does not state whether authentication is required, whether it errors on an unconfigured network, or what the status field contains.

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?

A single sentence with zero filler, front-loading the action and resource before the qualifier about the active network. Nothing needs trimming and nothing essential is buried.

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 zero-parameter, read-only status tool with no output schema, the description is nearly sufficient, naming the main returned artifact (contract address). It stops short of describing the other status values or clarifying the relationship to the registry-read sibling.

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 takes zero parameters, so there is nothing further to document and the baseline is 4. The description correctly avoids inventing parameter discussion.

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 gives a specific verb ('Returns'), a specific resource ('ObjectiveRegistry deployment status'), and a scope ('for the active network'), so the operation is unambiguous. However, it never distinguishes itself from the closely named sibling aureon_get_objective_registry, leaving the agent to guess which registry-related read to pick.

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?

There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no mention of alternatives despite siblings like aureon_get_objective_registry, aureon_prepare_objective_registry, and aureon_confirm_objective_registry. The agent must infer the usage context entirely.

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