lucille_status

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

Lists notable return fields (round, turn, jackpot, threshold, phase, cost, how to play), giving agents clear expectations. No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden and does it well. No mention of read-only nature, but context makes it clear.

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?

Single, well-structured sentence with front-loaded purpose and a list of returned attributes. Every word adds value.

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?

Adequately describes the output fields for a zero-parameter tool. While no output schema exists, the description covers the main info needed. Missing details like data types or freshness constraints, but acceptable for simplicity.

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 defined; baseline of 4 applies. Description does not need to add parameter details since none 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?

Clearly states verb 'Get' and resource 'current game status' with specific fields listed. Differentiates from sibling tools like lucille_rules and lucille_history by focusing on real-time status, though not explicitly contrasting.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies basic usage but lacks context about prerequisites or when to prefer other tools.

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