get_account_status

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden, and it does not state that this is a read-only, side-effect-free operation, nor whether authentication/API-key scoping is required. It hints at the returned subject matter (registration status, approval situation) but discloses no behavioral constraints beyond that.

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?

A single efficient sentence with no filler, and the key concept (account status/approval) is front-loaded. It is appropriately sized for a zero-parameter read tool, though it is perhaps too terse to be maximally useful.

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 zero-param, no-annotation tool with no output schema, the description should at least sketch what the status response covers and note that it is a safe read. It names the two concepts queried but leaves the response shape and safety profile unspecified.

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 takes zero parameters, which is the baseline-4 case per the rubric. The empty schema leaves nothing further to document or clarify.

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 gives a specific verb ('Consulta') and a clearly scoped resource: the account's registration status and approval situation. It is distinct from all siblings (payments, customers, PIX, subscriptions), though it does not explicitly name those siblings to reinforce the contrast.

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 explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, no prerequisites, and no alternatives named. The intended usage (checking whether the Asaas account is approved/active before transacting) is only implied by the resource name, not stated.

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