llm_hook_health

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

The description lists the outputs but does not state behavioral traits such as read-only nature, required permissions, or potential side effects. With no annotations, this is a moderate gap, though the tool is likely harmless.

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 concise with a leading sentence followed by clear bullet points. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, making it easy to parse quickly.

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 the tool has no parameters and an output schema exists, the description adequately explains the output content. However, it could mention that it is a read-only operation, which would slightly improve completeness.

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?

There are no parameters, so the description does not need to add parameter details. Baseline 4 is appropriate as the schema coverage is 100% and no parameter explanation is required.

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 the health status of routing hooks, specifying the exact items shown. It distinguishes from sibling 'llm_health' by specifying 'routing hooks', making the purpose unambiguous.

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 'llm_health' or other diagnostic tools. There is no mention of when not to use it or prerequisite conditions, leaving the agent without decision support.

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