batch_get_robot_statuses_smart

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses key behavior: automatic grouping by robot series and selection of correct batch API. However, it does not cover error handling, authentication needs, or rate limits, which are relevant for a batch operation.

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 concise (two sentences plus Args/Returns), front-loaded with the purpose, and contains no wasted words. The structure is clear and efficient.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description provides adequate context for an AI agent to understand its purpose and basic behavior. It mentions the return type (dictionary) but omits details on the dictionary structure. Still, it is sufficiently complete for the tool's complexity.

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?

With only one parameter and 0% schema coverage, the description adds value by clarifying that 'serial_numbers' is a list of robot serial numbers. This is meaningful beyond the empty schema. Could be improved by specifying the expected type (e.g., strings) or constraints.

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 explicitly states '智能批量获取机器人状态' (smart batch get robot statuses), clearly indicating the verb (get) and resource (robot statuses). It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_robot_status_smart' by emphasizing batch and smart grouping, and mentions support for mixed series.

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 when to use (for batch queries, especially with mixed M-line and S-line robots) but does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives like the singular 'get_robot_status_smart'. Clear context, but no exclusions.

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