A4.5/5.0

Scored across 7 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each recall tool is scoped to a distinct regulator/domain (NHTSA vehicles, FDA food/drug, FDA pet food, CPSC products), and the descriptions explicitly resolve the boundary cases (pet food excluded from food/drug, car seats/tires excluded from product). decode_vin and the submit/get_feedback pair are clearly separate purposes. No meaningful overlap remains.

Naming Consistency5/5

All seven names use snake_case verb_noun form (check_vehicle_recalls, decode_vin, search_food_drug_recalls, submit_feedback, get_feedback_reply, etc.). The verb choices are predictable and semantically appropriate. No convention mixing.

Tool Count5/5

Seven tools is well within the ideal range and each one earns its place: four recall lookups across distinct data sources, a VIN decoder that feeds one of them, and a feedback submit/read pair. Nothing redundant or obviously missing.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the major consumer recall domains (vehicles, food/drug, pet food, consumer products) plus the VIN-to-recall workflow and a full feedback loop, and limitations are documented. However, entire regulated categories like USDA meat/poultry/egg recalls and NHTSA car seats/tires are absent, forcing redirects for those queries.

Available Tools

7 tools
check_vehicle_recallsCheck vehicle recallsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use this when the user asks whether a car, truck or motorcycle has recalls, such as "does my 2018 Honda Accord have any recalls?". Pass the model year, make and model. Returns the NHTSA safety recalls for that year, make and model, newest first, with the component, summary, consequence, the manufacturer's remedy and whether NHTSA says to stop driving or park outside. Recalls are by model, not by VIN, so it cannot say whether one car's repair is still open; send the user to nhtsa.gov/recalls with their VIN for that. US vehicles only.

ParametersJSON Schema

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description adds significant context beyond the annotations: returns NHTSA safety recalls newest first, includes specific fields (component, summary, consequence, remedy, stop-driving/park-outside flags), and notes the model-level limitation. The annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, open-world traits; the description's value-add is the detailed return content and scope limits.

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 dense yet efficient: it front-loads the primary use case, then covers key behavior, limitations, and an alternative, all in four clear sentences. No fluff, every sentence earns its place.

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?

Given that an output schema exists (so return values needn't be explained in detail) and annotations cover safety and behavior, the description is complete: it tells the agent when to use it, how to interpret the results (model-level, not VIN-specific), and where to direct users for individual vehicle queries.

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 parameters (year, make, model, limit) are fully documented with examples and constraints in the schema. The description does not add anything beyond the schema for the parameters, which matches the baseline of 3 when schema carries the load.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource: checking whether a vehicle has NHTSA recalls. It provides a concrete example query and clarifies it operates by model year/make/model rather than VIN. It's clear, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate itself from sibling tools like decode_vin which might also touch VIN-based vehicle data.

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?

The description gives explicit guidance on when to use it (user asks about vehicle recalls), names an alternative path (nhtsa.gov/recalls with VIN for individual car status), and states a critical limitation (recalls by model, not VIN; US vehicles only). This is a strong routing implementation.

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

decode_vinDecode a VINA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Decode a VIN. Use this when the user gives a 17-character vehicle identification number or asks to "decode this VIN". Returns the model year, make, model, trim, body class, manufacturer, plant country, engine and fuel from NHTSA vPIC, and warns when the VIN's check digit does not match. Follow it with check_vehicle_recalls using the year, make and model to list the vehicle's recalls.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds genuine behavioral context beyond that: the data source (NHTSA vPIC) and a check-digit validation warning. It doesn't cover error/rate-limit behavior, but with annotations carrying the safety profile this is solid.

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?

Three sentences, tightly front-loaded with purpose first, then trigger, then returned fields and the follow-on tool. Every sentence carries information an agent needs; no filler.

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?

An output schema exists so return values need not be described, yet the description still summarizes them plus the failure mode (check-digit mismatch), which is more than required. Combined with the sibling routing, an agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

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?

Only one parameter and schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents the 'vin' field including its 17-character, no-I/O/Q constraint that the description merely restates. Baseline 3 applies since the description adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Decode a VIN') and enumerates the exact data returned (model year, make, model, trim, body class, manufacturer, plant country, engine, fuel). It is clearly a decoder, not one of the recall-search siblings, so an agent can distinguish it without opening schemas.

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?

Explicitly gives the trigger condition ('when the user gives a 17-character VIN or asks to decode this VIN') and names the alternative workflow ('Follow it with check_vehicle_recalls using the year, make and model'), which is a sibling tool. When-to-use and the follow-on routing are both stated.

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

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely new behavioral context beyond that: the tool is pollable (pending until a reply arrives, then answered) and carries an explicit trust boundary warning that reply content is data, not instructions — a meaningful prompt-injection disclosure.

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?

Three tight sentences: purpose first, then polling behavior, then the trust caveat. Every sentence carries distinct information and nothing is padded.

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 single-parameter read tool with an output schema and full annotation coverage, nothing an agent needs is missing. The polling semantics and the injection warning go beyond what structured fields provide, closing the remaining gaps an agent would otherwise have to discover by trial.

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?

Only one parameter exists and the schema already documents it fully (coverage 100%, including the ^fb_[0-9a-f]{32}$ pattern and the note that submit_feedback returned it), so the baseline of 3 applies. The description repeats the ticket-id linkage but adds no format or validation detail beyond the schema.

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?

States a specific verb (Read) and resource (maintainers' reply to feedback), and ties it causally to the sibling tool submit_feedback via the ticket id. An agent can distinguish it from submit_feedback, screen_token, and wallet_identity without opening any schema.

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?

Clearly establishes the precondition: this is used after submit_feedback, with the ticket id that call returned. It does not state any exclusions or alternative ways to retrieve feedback status, but the usage context is unambiguous.

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

search_food_drug_recallsSearch food and drug recallsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use this when the user asks about a recall of food, infant formula, a dietary supplement or a medicine, such as "was there a recall on this baby formula?" or "any supplement recalls this week?". Set category to "food" (human food, infant formula and supplements) or "drug". For pet food use search_pet_food_recalls instead. Pass the product words as labels use them ("infant formula", "peanut butter", "ibuprofen"). Set withinDays for recent recalls, such as 7 for this week. Returns FDA enforcement reports with product-title hits ranked above ingredient-text hits, each recall marked with matchKind ("product" or "text"), plus the recall class, product, reason, firm, lot codes and distribution. The matches count is the number of text matches across reports, not a product-recall total. It does not cover pet food, or meat, poultry and egg products regulated by USDA.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMost recalls to return, newest first (default 5)
queryYesProduct words as on the label, such as "infant formula", "peanut butter" or "ibuprofen"

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/openWorld, so the bar is low, yet the description adds real behavior: product-title hits are ranked above ingredient-text hits, each result carries matchKind ('product' or 'text'), and the matches count is a text-match total rather than a recall count. That last caveat prevents a likely misinterpretation of the output.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The usage trigger and sibling routing are front-loaded and every sentence carries information, but the description is dense and somewhat long, with the return-value details (class, product, reason, firm, lot codes, distribution) being partly redundant against the existing output schema.

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 4-parameter search tool with a full output schema, the description covers selection, sibling routing, domain exclusions, ranking semantics and the match-count caveat. An agent has everything needed to call and interpret it correctly.

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% and the schema already documents limit, query, category and withinDays, including the enum meanings and the '7 for this week' example. The description's parameter guidance largely restates the schema ('food' covers human food/formula/supplements, product words as on the label), so it adds only marginal meaning beyond structured fields.

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?

States a specific verb and resource (search food and drug recalls) and immediately bounds scope to food/infant formula/supplements/medicine while naming the pet-food sibling it is not. An agent can distinguish it from search_pet_food_recalls and search_product_recalls without opening a schema.

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?

Gives concrete trigger phrasing ('was there a recall on this baby formula?'), names the alternative for pet food, and states explicit exclusions (pet food, USDA-regulated meat/poultry/egg). The when-to-use and when-not-to-use conditions are both present.

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

search_pet_food_recallsSearch pet food recallsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use this when the user asks about a recall of dog food, cat food, pet treats or other pet food, such as "dog food recall this week". Optionally pass a brand or hazard as query, and set withinDays for recent recalls, such as 7 for this week. Returns matching FDA recall announcements, newest first, with the title, date, summary and FDA link. It only sees the FDA's 20 most recent recall announcements (about three weeks) and says so, so for an older recall point the user to the FDA recalls page.

ParametersJSON Schema

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, open-world and non-destructive, so safety is covered. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond that: the tool only sees the FDA's 20 most recent announcements (~3 weeks), it discloses this limitation to the user, and results are ordered newest first. Return-field detail is partly redundant with the output schema.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences, front-loaded with the trigger condition, then parameters, then return shape and the coverage limitation. Every sentence carries information, though the return-field sentence overlaps with the output schema.

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 three-optional-param search tool with full schema coverage, annotations and an output schema, the description covers trigger, parameter intent, ordering, result contents and the critical data-window limitation. Nothing needed to call it correctly is missing.

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 schema already documents limit, query and withinDays including their examples and bounds. The description restates the query and withinDays intent ('pass a brand or hazard', '7 for this week') but adds no syntax or format information the schema lacks, so the baseline 3 applies.

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 gives a specific verb+resource (search FDA pet food recall announcements) and scopes it tightly to dog food, cat food, pet treats and other pet food, which cleanly separates it from siblings like search_food_drug_recalls and search_product_recalls.

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?

It states exactly when to invoke (user asks about a pet food recall) with a sample utterance, explains how the optional parameters change behavior, and names a when-not/fallback case: for recalls older than the ~3-week FDA window, point the user to the FDA recalls page.

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

search_product_recallsSearch product recallsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Use this when the user asks whether a consumer product is recalled, such as a crib, stroller, toy, appliance, heater or tool, or "is this car seat recalled?" (for car seat accessories). Pass the brand and product as on the label. Returns matching U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls, newest first, with the hazard, the remedy, the company contact and the CPSC link. Set withinDays for recent recalls only. Car seats and tires themselves are NHTSA recalls this tool cannot see, and the answer says so. It does not cover vehicles, food or drugs.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/openWorld, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds real behavioral context beyond that: results are newest-first, each carries hazard, remedy, company contact and CPSC link, and the tool discloses its own coverage gap ('the answer says so'). It stops short of pagination/rate-limit detail, but the bar is lower with annotations present.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads the triggering scenario, then scope, return shape and exclusions in a compact run of clauses. Dense but every sentence earns its place; only the query-formatting sentence mildly duplicates the schema.

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?

Despite an output schema, the description goes further by naming the returned fields and, critically, the domains it cannot see and that the answer surfaces that limitation. For a scope-bounded search tool this leaves nothing an agent needs to call it correctly.

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 baseline is 3. The description restates the schema's own query guidance ('brand and product as on the label') and lightly contextualizes withinDays ('for recent recalls only'), adding marginal meaning rather than new syntax or format detail.

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?

States a specific verb and resource (search U.S. CPSC consumer product recalls) and explicitly bounds the scope against siblings: 'does not cover vehicles, food or drugs' and car seats/tires are NHTSA recalls this tool cannot see. An agent can distinguish it from check_vehicle_recalls, search_food_drug_recalls and search_pet_food_recalls without opening a schema.

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?

Names the triggering user question ('is this car seat recalled?') and the artifact to pass ('brand and product as on the label'), plus explicit exclusions and the alternative source (NHTSA) for out-of-scope items. Both when-to-use and when-not-to-use are covered.

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

submit_feedbackSend feedback, bug report or tool requestAInspect

Send feedback, a bug report or a tool request to the maintainers of the tools on this server: a missing tool, missing or stale data, or a tool that broke or gave a wrong answer. Pass the kind (need_tool, need_data, bug or other), one short message (at most 1000 characters) and, if you know them, the tool name and the error text it returned. Returns a ticket id. Feedback is not a chat: nothing in it is run or followed. Links, emails and phone numbers are removed and nothing about you is stored.

ParametersJSON Schema

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Adds substantial context beyond the annotations: it returns a ticket id, feedback is explicitly not a chat and nothing in it is executed, and links/emails/phone numbers are stripped with nothing stored about the caller. That privacy and no-execution disclosure is genuinely useful given openWorldHint=true and readOnlyHint=false.

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?

Front-loads what the tool sends, then what to pass, then what it returns, in three dense sentences with no filler. Every clause carries actionable information.

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?

Covers purpose, the enumerated kinds, the optional tool/error inputs, the 1000-character bound, the return value (ticket id), and privacy handling. With an output schema present, nothing further is required for an agent to call it correctly.

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 schema already documents all four parameters including the kind enum. The description restates the message length limit and the optionality of tool/error ('if you know them') but adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema, making the baseline 3 correct.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Send feedback, a bug report or a tool request to the maintainers of the tools on this server') and enumerates the concrete situations (missing tool, stale data, broken/wrong answer). It is clearly distinguishable from the read-side sibling get_feedback_reply.

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?

Gives clear triggering conditions for each kind (need_tool, need_data, bug, other) and tells the agent to include the tool name and error text when known. It does not explicitly name the alternative get_feedback_reply or state when NOT to use this tool, so it falls short of full routing guidance.

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