GPU Cluster Readiness

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

With no annotations provided, the description must fully convey behavior. It only says 'heuristic scan' without explaining what actions it performs (e.g., API calls, checks), whether it has side effects, or what the output means. The term 'heuristic' implies non-exhaustive, but no specifics.

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, concise sentence that covers the essential purpose without fluff. It is appropriately front-loaded.

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?

Despite having no parameters, the description lacks information about output format, return values, or how to interpret results. As a diagnostic scan tool, it should indicate what a successful scan vs. issues looks like. No output schema exists to compensate.

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 no parameters, and schema description coverage is 100% (empty). Per guidelines, baseline is 3 as the description adds no parameter meaning beyond the schema, which is already complete for zero parameters.

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 the tool performs a heuristic scan focusing on GPU device plugins, GPU operator workloads, and GPU-related CRDs. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_gpu_workloads by indicating a readiness check rather than a simple listing.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_gpu_workloads, diagnose_pod). It does not mention prerequisites or context for running the scan.

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