check_config_status

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

While no annotations exist, the description explains what the tool does: verify configuration and activate all Kion API tools. It also mentions the expected outcome. Could detail potential errors, but adequate for a simple verification.

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 front-loaded with key instructions but has some repetition (e.g., 'Call this tool AFTER...' and 'Only needed if...'). Still mostly 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 no parameters and an existing output schema, the description covers when to call, what it does, and what to expect after calling. Completeness is high.

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?

No parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter info; no parameters exist.

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's purpose: to be called after manual config file update to verify and activate API tools. It specifies the condition and distinguishes from setup_kion_config.

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?

Explicitly says when to call (after manual config, only if setup_kion_config required manual steps) and when not to call (on successful configuration). Also ties to sibling tool.

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