hl_spot_deploy_auction_status

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. The word 'status' implies a read-only query, and 'spotDeployState' adds internal context. However, it does not explicitly confirm non-mutating behavior or address any permissions, rate limits, or side effects, leaving some ambiguity.

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, concise sentence with no redundant words. It is appropriately sized for a simple tool, though the underspecification in other dimensions prevents a perfect score.

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 the single-parameter schema and presence of an output schema, the description is adequate for basic invocation. However, it omits usage context, fails to contrast with sibling tools, and leaves the relationship to hl_perp_deploy_auction_status implicit, making it incomplete for an agent choosing among similar tools.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It merely repeats the parameter name 'user' without explaining format, constraints, or how it is used to fetch the status. The added '(spotDeployState)' hint provides some semantic context but does not meaningfully clarify the parameter.

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 identifies the resource (spot deploy auction status) and its scope (for user), and the 'Spot' prefix distinguishes it from the sibling hl_perp_deploy_auction_status. However, it lacks an explicit verb like 'get' or 'retrieve', reading more as a noun phrase than a clear action.

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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as hl_perp_deploy_auction_status or other user-state tools. There are no prerequisites, exclusions, or context clues about when this tool is the right choice.

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