get_server_health

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. 'Report' implies a read-only operation, but the description does not explicitly confirm that there are no side effects, nor does it explain what 'safety boundaries' means or what kind of response the agent can expect.

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 sentence with no filler and the key concepts are front-loaded. It is concise, though perhaps too terse to fully resolve ambiguity around 'monitor state'.

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?

With no annotations and no output schema, the description needs to explain what the tool returns and what the terms mean. It merely names two output concepts without defining them, leaving an agent uncertain about the response shape and the precise meaning of 'safety boundaries'.

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 already fully documents the input surface. The description correctly focuses on the output domain instead of inventing parameter details. A baseline of 4 is appropriate for a no-parameter tool.

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 clear verb ('Report') and names two distinct output topics: monitor state and safety boundaries. It is not a tautology, and the tool name reinforces the intent, though 'monitor state' is slightly ambiguous as to whether it refers to monitoring-system status or monitored server state.

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?

There is no guidance about when to call this tool versus any alternative. No sibling tools are mentioned, and there is no context about prerequisite conditions or typical use cases, so an agent must infer usage from the name alone.

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