Unraid API isSSOEnabled

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only the predicate framing ('whether'), implying a boolean outcome; it doesn't disclose additional behavioral details like auth requirements or response shape, though little else is needed for such a simple query.

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?

One short sentence with no filler; the verb and object are front-loaded. Every word is necessary.

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 parameterless, read-only boolean check, the description is sufficient for an agent to invoke it correctly. The 'whether' phrasing conveys the boolean return even without an output schema, and sibling distinctions are clear from the name.

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?

There are zero parameters and the schema closes additionalProperties, so there is nothing the description needs to add. The baseline of 4 for a parameterless tool applies.

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 states a specific verb ('Check') and a precise resource ('whether SSO is enabled'), making the operation unmistakable. Among many query_* siblings, this is clearly distinct from OIDC/authentication configuration queries.

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?

The use case is implied: call when you need to know whether SSO is enabled. It does not name alternatives or say when not to use it, but for a zero-parameter status predicate the context is reasonably self-evident.

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