sdcloud_get_rma_reactivation_status

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

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Get the status' implying a read operation, but provides no details on authentication, response format, error handling, or what happens if the job doesn't exist.

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, direct sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately sized for a simple status-check tool, though slightly more detail could be added.

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 simple interface (one param, no output schema), the description is partially complete. However, it misses the connection to other RMA workflow steps and does not hint at the expected output.

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 single parameter 'reactivation_id' has no description. With 0% schema coverage, the description should explain how to obtain it (e.g., from sdcloud_reactivate_rma_device), but it does not.

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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'status of an RMA device-reactivation job'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sdcloud_activate_rma_device and sdcloud_get_rma_reactivation_config by focusing on status retrieval.

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 versus related RMA tools (e.g., sdcloud_get_rma_reactivation_config, sdcloud_get_rma_device_state). The description lacks context about prerequisites or alternative scenarios.

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