get_server_health

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

With no annotations, the description must signal safety/behavior itself; 'Report' does imply a non-mutating read operation. However, it does not disclose any operational caveats such as authentication, freshness of data, or failure behavior, and the three reported items are stated without elaboration.

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 short sentence with no filler and leads with the operation verb. Every phrase ('health', 'storage root', 'review boundary') contributes useful specificity.

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 trivial no-argument tool, invocation is clear, but there is no output schema and the description only names the three report areas without explaining their shape or meaning. An agent knows roughly what it will get but not enough to interpret the response fully.

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 zero parameters, so the schema fully covers everything; the baseline for 0-parameter tools is 4. No additional parameter meaning is needed, and the description's three report categories are output context, not parameter semantics.

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 uses a specific verb ('Report') with a clear resource and three concrete aspects (editorial pipeline health, storage root, review boundary). It is easily distinguished from sibling tools, which are about editorial projects/revisions and WordPress export rather than server health.

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 given on when to call this tool versus the sibling inspection tools such as get_editorial_project or audit_revision. The tool's purpose implies a health-check usage, but the description does not state conditions, alternatives, or exclusions.

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