Get live XDaLa session status

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions that the tool uses XGR RPC and returns a live status, implying a read-only operation. However, it does not describe authentication needs, rate limits, or potential side effects, which would be valuable for an agent.

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 consists of two concise sentences that convey the tool's purpose and basic behavior with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the key action.

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 status-check tool with two required parameters and no output schema, the description sufficiently covers the return field (xgr_sessionAlive) and the source (XGR RPC). It is complete enough given the absence of complex output.

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 no descriptions for its two parameters, and the description only mentions 'session owner and session id' without explaining formats or constraints. The pattern for owner (Ethereum address) is in the schema but not in the description. The description adds minimal meaning beyond the schema.

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 checks live session status from XGR RPC and returns a specific field (xgr_sessionAlive). It specifies the action (check status) and resource (XDaLa session), distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_xdala_session_detail which likely return more comprehensive data.

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 'Use this to check live session status', but does not provide guidance on when not to use or mention alternatives. There are sibling tools like get_xdala_session_detail that might also provide session information, but no exclusion criteria are given.

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