C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so safety is covered. The description adds only that a "status and progress" value is returned, with no polling semantics, terminal states, expiry/failure behavior, or rate limits, which is thin for a task-status tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler. It is efficiently sized, though arguably under-specified rather than deliberately terse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a one-parameter read-only poll tool with annotations covering safety, this is close to adequate, but with no output schema the agent gets no sense of what "status and progress" actually contains (state enum, percentage, error field), and the task_id origin is unexplained.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% for the single task_id parameter, so the schema provides no meaning. The description never explains what a task_id is or where it comes from (presumably create_video), leaving the only parameter undocumented in both places.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ("Returns") and resource ("status and progress of a Modelflare video task"), which is distinct from create_video, download_video, generate_image, and list_models. It does not explicitly name or contrast with any sibling, so an agent must infer the polling role.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no when-to-use guidance, no mention of polling after create_video, and no note on how often or when to call it. Usage is only implied by the word "status".

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