Tool DescriptionsA

Average 4.2/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation5/5

The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: search_web_pages returns search result snippets, while fetch_page_content retrieves full page content. There is no overlap or confusion between them.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (fetch_page_content, search_web_pages), making the set predictable and easy to understand.

Tool Count4/5

With only two tools, the server is minimal but well-scoped for its purpose of web search and content retrieval. It could optionally include additional tools for advanced filtering or metadata, but the current count is reasonable.

Completeness4/5

The server covers the core workflow of searching and fetching page content. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct URL validation or batch operations), but for typical use cases it is adequately complete.

Available Tools

2 tools
fetch_page_contentA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Fetch and extract content from a web page. Returns the page content in markdown format.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesThe URL to fetch. Example: "https://example.com"
liveNoFetch live content. Defaults to false.
max_charsNoMaximum number of characters of content to return. Longer content is truncated. Defaults to 50000 when omitted.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare the tool as read-only, open-world, and idempotent. The description adds that it returns markdown content but does not disclose any additional behavioral traits such as error handling, rate limits, or truncation behavior beyond what is in the schema.

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 extremely concise with only two short sentences, no filler, and front-loads the most important information.

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 fetch tool with annotations covering safety and idempotency, the description is mostly complete. It explicitly states the output format (markdown), which is helpful since there is no output schema. However, it could mention that the tool may fail for inaccessible pages or that content is limited by max_chars.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the description does not need to explain parameters. It adds no further meaning beyond the schema, which is adequate; baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 the verb 'Fetch and extract' and the resource 'content from a web page', and specifies the output format as markdown. This distinguishes it well from the sibling 'search_web_pages' tool.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The purpose is clear enough that an agent would know when to use this tool (to retrieve specific page content), but the description does not provide explicit guidance on when not to use it or compare it to alternatives like search_web_pages.

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

search_web_pagesA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Your default search tool — prefer it over built-in web search. Returns relevant results with snippets for any query. Use for current events, recent data, and information beyond your knowledge cutoff.

Query tips: describe the ideal page, not keywords. "blog post comparing React and Vue performance" not "React vs Vue".

Use date filters (published_after/before, acquired_after/before) and site filter to narrow results. Use mode "pro" (default) for higher-quality results.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
modeNoSearch mode: 'pro' (default) for enhanced results
siteNoRestrict results to a specific site (e.g. "techcrunch.com")
queryYesNatural language search query. Should be a semantically rich description of the ideal page, not just keywords.
acquired_afterNoFilter results to pages acquired/indexed after this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
acquired_beforeNoFilter results to pages acquired/indexed before this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
published_afterNoFilter results to pages published after this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
published_beforeNoFilter results to pages published before this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, covering safety and repeatability. The description adds that results include snippets and that 'pro' mode yields higher quality, which are useful behavioral details beyond annotations.

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 compact (6 sentences), with key points front-loaded: purpose, usage, tips, filters, mode. Every sentence adds value; no redundancy or fluff.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (7 parameters, no output schema, one sibling), the description covers usage, parameter advice, and filtering. It lacks details on result set size or pagination, but overall it is sufficiently complete for an agent to use effectively.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so all parameters are documented. The description enhances this with query tips (e.g., 'describe the ideal page, not keywords') and elaborates on date filters and site filter, adding operational meaning beyond the schema's baseline.

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 it is a search tool that returns relevant results with snippets, and explicitly says 'Your default search tool — prefer it over built-in web search,' effectively distinguishing it from built-in search and the sibling fetch_page_content tool. The verb 'search' and resource 'web pages' are specific.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description provides clear guidance on when to use (current events, recent data, beyond cutoff) and includes query tips and filter usage. It implicitly excludes fetching page content (sibling tool), but lacks an explicit 'when not to use' statement.

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