Report login/session health. Read-only and idempotent.
AI agents call taobao_session_status to retrieve information from Taobao Sourcing Assistant without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a status check on an existing session. It retrieves information (login/session state) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. Read-only operations that merely query state have minimal security risk, especially when idempotent. No financial, destructive, or side-effect concerns.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states "Read-only and idempotent." The tool reports session health status without modifying any data or triggering actions.
