get_account_status

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. It usefully reveals that the response includes a configured boolean, missing fields, and account information while explicitly excluding keys/secrets ('不含密钥'). It implies a read-only status check, which aligns with the tool name.

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 compact sentence that front-loads the purpose and then lists the key output fields. Every element earns its place, with no filler or redundant restatement of the tool name.

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-parameter status-checking tool with an output schema and no secrets disclosure, the description is largely complete. It covers the main return components and the security-relevant exclusion of keys. It does not mention relationships to sibling tools, but this is not essential for a call with no arguments.

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 has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4; there is no parameter information for the description to add. The description instead clarifies what the tool returns, which is the only semantically relevant content for invoking it.

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 uses a specific verb ('查看') and resource ('邮箱配置状态'), and enumerates the exact return fields: configured boolean, missing fields list, and configured account info without secrets. It clearly identifies what the tool reports, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools such as get_account_info or test_email_connection.

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 gives no guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives, such as configure_account or test_email_connection. The intended use is implied by the name and phrasing, but there are no explicit context cues, exclusions, or comparison to siblings.

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