booking_status

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

No annotations are provided. The verb 'Check' implies a read-only operation, but the description does not explicitly state it has no side effects or what 'session info' entails. More detail would help, especially without annotations.

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?

Two sentences, zero waste. The first sentence states the action, the second gives usage guidance. Efficiently front-loaded.

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 simple status check with no parameters and no output schema, the description is adequate. However, it could elaborate on what 'session info' includes or the expected response format to be fully complete.

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 no parameters, and the schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no parameter info (unnecessary), but explains the tool's purpose, which is sufficient for a parameterless 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 clearly states the tool checks login status and session info. However, the sibling list includes 'booking_login_status', which likely has an overlapping purpose, and the description does not clarify the distinction.

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 description advises using this tool to verify authentication before other actions, which is helpful. But it does not mention when not to use it (e.g., if already known) or provide alternatives like 'booking_login_status'.

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