get_sql_pools_status

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

Discloses that only the workspace-level switch is returned and that the API is beta/preview. No annotations exist, so description carries full burden. Could mention idempotency but still very good.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no unnecessary words. Efficient and clear.

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?

Given an output schema exists, the description appropriately focuses on parameter and behavior. It mentions the key output field and addresses beta status. Complete for a simple tool.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but does not elaborate on the workspace parameter (e.g., format or expected identifier). It only states the requirement of admin role.

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?

Description clearly states the tool returns whether custom SQL Pools are enabled for a workspace. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_sql_pools and get_sql_pool.

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?

Explicitly states when to use (to check enabled status) and when not to (use list_sql_pools or get_sql_pool for other purposes). Also notes requirement of workspace admin role.

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