My passport

my_passport
Read-onlyIdempotent

Show your passport: route, stamps, signatures, comments and badges earned so far under this visitor_name.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
visitor_nameYesYour name as a visitor (max 40 chars). The same name always gives the same avatar, stamps and badges. Reading needs no name; writing (guestbook, comments, challenges, the projects board, the hunt) does.

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive and closed-world, so safety is covered. The description adds useful scoping behavior by listing the aggregated artifact types, but says nothing about what happens with an unknown or never-seen visitor_name, nor about result size or ordering for a visitor with many stamps.

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?

A single front-loaded sentence with a memorable framing followed immediately by the concrete payload list. No filler, though the 'Show your passport' hook is decorative rather than informative.

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?

With one required parameter, no output schema and full annotation coverage, this definition is nearly sufficient: the enumeration of returned artifact types substitutes for the missing output schema. The remaining gap is the edge case of an unknown visitor_name and the absence of any pointer to sibling tools for narrower reads.

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 parameter's schema text already explains the max length and the read-free/write-required rule. The description only echoes 'under this visitor_name' and adds nothing on format, case sensitivity, or what an unrecognized name yields, so the schema does the real work.

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?

States a specific action and resource ('Show your passport') and then disambiguates the metaphor by enumerating contents: route, stamps, signatures, comments and badges. That is enough for an agent to know this is a per-visitor activity summary, though it never contrasts itself with siblings like my_messages or who_is_here that overlap in territory.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

There is no explicit when-to-use instruction, no prerequisites, and no named alternative. An agent must infer from 'earned so far under this visitor_name' that this is the aggregate profile view, and must guess whether messages or comments are better fetched via my_messages or get_postcard.

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