get_system_status

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral transparency burden. The verb '获取' and the stated return values imply a read-only operation, but the description does not explicitly disclose absence of side effects, authentication requirements, or performance characteristics. It provides minimal but non-misleading behavioral context.

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 short and front-loaded, but the 'Returns: JSON格式的系统状态信息' line partially duplicates the earlier sentence '返回系统版本、数据统计、缓存状态等信息'. Still, it remains concise and scannable.

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 tool with an output schema, the description covers the basics. However, given sibling tools such as get_storage_status, check_version, and get_current_config, the description does not clarify how this aggregate status tool relates to them, leaving some selection ambiguity.

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, and the schema is empty, so the schema provides full coverage trivially. The baseline of 4 applies because there is no parameter semantics burden, and the description appropriately focuses on return content.

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 gets system running status and health check information, and enumerates example contents (system version, data statistics, cache status). It does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like get_storage_status or check_version, but the scope is clearly broader.

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 usage guidance is provided. The description does not explain when to choose this tool over siblings such as get_storage_status, get_current_config, or check_version, and it lacks any exclusion or alternative recommendations.

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