get_world_congress

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

The description fully aligns with the readOnlyHint annotation, confirming a no-side-effect read operation. It adds specific details on what data is returned, enhancing understanding beyond the annotation.

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 concise sentences front-load the main purpose and add relevant usage context. No extraneous words.

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 sufficiently covers key return fields. It provides all necessary context for a status-check 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?

No parameters exist, so the description naturally adds no param info. With zero parameters, baseline is 4; no improvement needed.

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 it retrieves World Congress status, active resolutions, and voting options, and lists specific fields like session state, resolutions with options, turns until next session, and diplomatic favor. This distinguishes it from sibling tools, which focus on other game aspects.

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 advises using 'queue_wc_votes' when congress is in session to register votes, providing clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance. No exclusions needed.

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