Get health status of pools.
AI agents call check_pool_health to retrieve information from Session Buddy without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries the health status of pools. The verb 'Get' and the read-only nature of health status checks align with the Read category (retrieves or queries data with no side effects). There is no data modification, code execution, or destructive operation implied. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only view health information, which poses low risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'check_pool_health' and description 'Get health status of pools' indicate a query/retrieval operation that returns status information without modifying system state.
