get_health

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

readOnlyHint=true already covers the safety profile, so this is a safe read. The description adds value by naming the three response areas (health status, version, runtime information), but it does not say what "health status" actually reports (dependency checks? degraded/healthy enum?) or how failures are surfaced.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every element (health status, version, runtime information) earns its place.

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 zero-argument read-only tool with no output schema, the description supplies enough — it enumerates the categories of returned data and the safety profile is covered by annotations. Minor gap: no indication of what a failed/unhealthy result looks like.

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?

Zero parameters, so there is nothing to disambiguate and the schema is trivially complete; baseline 4 applies. The description correctly implies a no-argument call.

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?

Specific verb ("Check") plus a well-defined resource ("maintenant's own health status, version, and runtime information"). The self-referential framing ("maintenant's own") distinguishes it from data-querying siblings like get_swarm_info or get_edition, though it does not name those siblings explicitly.

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?

Usage is only implied — an agent can infer this is a diagnostic/self-check call, but the description never states when to prefer it over get_edition or get_swarm_info, nor any preconditions. No alternatives or exclusions are named.

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