nexo_state_watcher_run

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

Annotations are absent, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not clarify if 'run' causes side effects (e.g., starting watchers) or is a read-only query. The term 'run' implies execution, but the description only mentions returning a summary.

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 sentence of 12 words, no redundant information, and immediately states the action and output.

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?

Without an output schema, the description should elaborate on the health summary format or behavior. It does not, and also omits any side effects. For a tool with two parameters, the description provides insufficient context for correct usage.

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 input schema has two parameters (status, persist) with 0% description coverage. The description does not explain their meaning or usage, leaving the agent to infer from defaults and names.

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 includes a specific verb 'run', a clear resource 'persistent state watchers', and an explicit output 'current health summary'. It effectively differentiates from sibling tools like create, list, update.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like nexo_state_watcher_create or nexo_state_watcher_list. Prerequisites, such as needing existing watchers, are not mentioned.

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