This is actually normal behavior for qpid-tool. The reason is that qpid-tool is purely passive in its operation. It collects management data published by the broker agent and stores it locally for display. This means that there is often a delay of a few seconds before there is any data available. A valid request for enhancement would be to alter this behavior and have qpid-tool operate more actively (i.e. make an explicit data request on startup) so that there is no delay in availability. I'll leave this BZ open and perhaps it can be renamed to be a feature request.
