solnk_get_publish_status

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses the return values (aggregate status with enumerated possibilities). Although it doesn't explicitly state non-destructiveness, the 'get' verb implies it. Would benefit from mentioning it's read-only.

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: first describes the tool's function and possible statuses, second provides a usage alternative. No redundant words, highly efficient.

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 get-status tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers purpose, possible return values, and provides a sibling alternative. No major gaps given the tool's simplicity.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%, and the description does not add any information about the parameter 'publish_id' beyond its name in the schema. The parameter is simple but the description fails to explain its purpose or format.

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 states the specific verb 'Get' and resource 'aggregate status of a publish', and distinguishes from siblings by listing possible statuses and mentioning an alternative for per-platform details.

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 explicitly says 'For per-platform post URLs and engagement, use solnk_get_post_analytics', providing clear when-not-to-use and an alternative. It also lists possible statuses, aiding in decision-making.

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