What Bannerproof checks

get_capabilities
Read-only

Describes what Bannerproof checks, what each tool does, what needs an account and what it costs. Call this first when the user asks what this server can do or which tool to use.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

readOnlyHint=true is consistent with a pure informational tool, and the description adds real context beyond the annotation by disclosing the four categories of information returned, including pricing and account gating. It stops short of describing the response format or whether the capability list is exhaustive, but the read-only nature is never in doubt.

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?

Two sentences, zero waste: the first states what is covered, the second states when to call it. The routing instruction is placed last, which is the natural reading order for a decision.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a no-param, no-output-schema meta tool, the description covers everything an agent needs: what it returns conceptually, when to invoke it, and that it answers cost and account questions. Nothing material is missing.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so parameter semantics are a non-issue and the baseline 4 applies. The description correctly implies a parameterless call by framing it as a plain question-answering surface.

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?

Uses a specific verb ("Describes") and enumerates exactly what content is covered: what Bannerproof checks, per-tool behavior, account requirements, and cost. This is clearly separable from siblings like account_info or audit_domain because it is explicitly a meta/capability surface rather than an operation.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

"Call this first when the user asks what this server can do or which tool to use" gives an explicit trigger condition and even a routing role for choosing among the 17 siblings. There is no ambiguity about when this tool is the right choice.

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