delimit_deliberation_status

Check deliberation usage and mode before running a panel. Confirms free-tier quota, BYOK status, and OAuth sign-in state.

Instructions

Check deliberation usage and mode (hosted free tier vs BYOK).

When to use: before invoking delimit_deliberate, to confirm whether you are still inside the hosted free-tier quota or running BYOK (bring-your-own-keys), and to read the signed-in OAuth state. When NOT to use: to run an actual panel (use delimit_deliberate) or to manage provider keys (delimit_models).

Sibling contrast: delimit_deliberate runs the panel; delimit_models manages provider keys; this is the lightweight pre-flight status check.

Side effects: read-only. Calls ai.deliberation.get_deliberation_status which reads ~/.delimit state.

LED-2092: hosted access now requires a delimit.ai account.

Args: None.

Returns: Dict with: oauth_required, oauth_signed_in, lifetime_used, lifetime_remaining, daily_cap_remaining, signin_url, plus the legacy hosted_used / hosted_remaining / hosted_limit fields retained for backward compatibility with scripted callers.

Tool Definition Quality

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses read-only nature, calls ai.deliberation.get_deliberation_status, reads ~/.delimit state. No annotations provided; description fully covers behavioral traits.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Well-structured with clear sections, front-loaded purpose, and concise. Every sentence adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Complete description including output schema details. Covers all aspects for a status check tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

No parameters; description states 'Args: None.' Schema coverage is 100% (empty). With zero params, baseline is 4.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it checks deliberation usage and mode, distinguishing it from siblings: delimit_deliberate runs the panel, delimit_models manages keys.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit 'When to use' and 'When NOT to use' sections, plus sibling contrast. It specifies use before delimit_deliberate to check quota and OAuth state.

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