boss_agent_pending

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states only that the tool 'views' the queue, implying a read-only operation. However, it does not disclose any behavioral traits such as what happens if the queue is empty, authentication requirements, or rate limits. This is minimal transparency.

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 with availability info in brackets. It is extremely concise and front-loaded, with no wasted words. Every part serves a purpose.

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 tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description should explain what the pending action queue contains or how to interpret results. It simply states 'view pending action queue' without elaboration, leaving the agent to infer the structure and meaning. This is incomplete.

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 schema description coverage is 100% (trivially). According to guidelines, baseline is 4 for 0 params. The description adds no parameter information, but none is needed.

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 '查看待执行动作队列' which means 'view pending action queue'. This specifies the verb (view) and resource (pending action queue). It distinguishes from sibling tools like boss_agent_review and boss_agent_run by focusing on pending actions. However, the purpose could be more explicit in English if assumed.

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 includes availability constraints (roles=recruiter, platforms=zhilian,zhipin) but does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks explicit context or exclusions for usage.

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