get_supervisor_status

Read-onlyIdempotent

Check the real-time status of a Supervisor Cluster in VMware vSphere with Tanzu. Get configuration state, Kubernetes health, API server endpoint, and version using the cluster ID.

Instructions

[READ] Get Supervisor Cluster status.

Args: cluster_id: Compute cluster MoRef ID (e.g. 'domain-c1'). target: vCenter target name (uses default if not specified).

Returns: config_status, kubernetes_status, api_server_endpoint, k8s_version.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds specific return fields (config_status, kubernetes_status, api_server_endpoint, k8s_version), providing transparency beyond the annotations without contradicting them.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise, uses a clear structure with Args and Returns sections, and front-loads the purpose with [READ]. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple read tool with two parameters and no output schema, the description lists the return fields. It is complete enough for an agent to understand the tool's purpose and output, though additional details on return field meanings would enhance completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description compensates with clear semantics: cluster_id includes an example format ('domain-c1') and target notes the default behavior. Both parameters are meaningfully described beyond the schema's type-only info.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Get Supervisor Cluster status' and lists return values, distinguishing it from sibling tools that deal with TKC clusters, namespaces, etc. The [READ] prefix reinforces the read-only purpose.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for retrieving supervisor status but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor does it reference alternative tools for related but different tasks.

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