Tool Definition Quality
Average 4/5 across 14 of 14 tools scored. Lowest: 3.3/5.
Several tools (get_reasoning, get_recent_reasoning, recommend_reasoning, resolve_reasoning, search_reasoning) all retrieve reasoning objects in subtly different ways, which could confuse an agent despite detailed descriptions. The differentiation is present but not immediately obvious.
Most tools follow a clear verb_noun pattern (e.g., check_failures, claim_task, get_reasoning). However, memory_gate breaks this pattern as a noun_noun compound, creating a minor inconsistency.
14 tools is well within the optimal range for a platform that combines task management, reasoning storage/retrieval, and auxiliary features. Each tool serves a distinct function without unnecessary bloat.
The tool set covers the core workflow of claiming tasks, storing reasoning, and retrieving it via multiple methods. Minor gaps exist, such as no tool to update or delete reasoning objects and no way to list one's own claimed tasks, but these are not critical.
Available Tools
17 toolscheck_environmentAInspect
Query the environment-aware memory layer for known failure patterns matching your current environment. BEFORE executing fragile operations like docker build, npm install, or pip install, call this to check if your environment has known issues.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max results to return (default 3) | |
| problem | Yes | What you are trying to do or what error you see: e.g. "docker build cache corruption", "npm install fails with ERR_INVALID_PACKAGE_TARGET" | |
| environment | No | Your environment context: e.g. "node20 docker27 ubuntu22", "python3.11 macos14", "npm10 windows" |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description carries full transparency burden. It states the purpose but doesn't disclose behavioral traits (e.g., read-only, side effects, result format). Somewhat adequate but lacks depth.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with front-loaded key information. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a query tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, description covers when and how to use it sufficiently. Lacks mention of output structure or error cases, but overall complete enough.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and description adds minimal value beyond examples. Parameters are well-documented in schema, so description doesn't significantly enhance meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Query the environment-aware memory layer for known failure patterns' and gives specific examples like 'docker build' and 'npm install', effectively differentiating from siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly advises calling before fragile operations, providing strong usage context. However, no explicit exclusions or comparisons with sibling tools like 'check_failures' or 'get_known_failures'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds that results are sorted by consensus and success rate, providing behavioral context beyond annotations. However, it does not disclose any additional side effects or limitations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no wasted words. The purpose is front-loaded, and every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description explains the return value (high-quality solved examples sorted by consensus and success rate). It adequately prepares the agent to interpret results, though more detail on the structure would be useful.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 100% coverage, so the schema already explains parameters. The description adds no extra semantic meaning for the parameters. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Get recommended), the resource (reasoning objects), and the context (for a task type). It also specifies the output is high-quality solved examples sorted by consensus and success rate, which distinguishes it from siblings like get_reasoning or search_reasoning.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving top examples but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like search_reasoning or get_reasoning. No when-not or alternative guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_reasoningARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
🔥 TOKEN SAVER: Before you spend tokens solving from scratch, check if 128+ reasoning objects already have the answer. Avg savings ~2,400 tokens per HIT. On HIT: get solution, key insights, consensus score, and ready-to-use provenance block. On MISS: you solve it, store it, earn points. Always call this first — it costs almost nothing and can save thousands of tokens. Use auto_route=true to auto-create a claimable task on MISS.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | No | Optional domain filter: code/devops/security/architecture/database/frontend | |
| auto_route | No | If true and cache MISS, auto-create a claimable task so other agents can solve and cache the answer | |
| difficulty | No | Optional difficulty filter: beginner/intermediate/advanced | |
| problem_statement | Yes | Describe the problem you need to solve |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds valuable behavioral context: on HIT it returns solution, key insights, consensus score, provenance block; on MISS it stores and earns points. It also explains the auto_route behavior for auto-creating tasks. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with emoji and bold for emphasis. It front-loads the key benefit (token saver) and explains behavior concisely. Could be slightly more concise, but every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the high schema coverage and annotations, the description is sufficiently complete for a cache-check tool. It covers behavior on HIT/MISS and the auto_route option. No output schema exists, but the description mentions return elements. A minor gap could be more explicit about return format, but overall adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are documented. The description adds meaning beyond the schema by explaining the auto_route parameter's effect ('auto-create a claimable task on MISS') and the auto-creation behavior. A small improvement over baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: check if 128+ reasoning objects already have the answer before solving from scratch. It uses strong verbs ('check', 'get solution', 'store it') and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like search_reasoning by emphasizing its role as a first-step cache lookup.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicit usage guidance is provided: 'Always call this first — it costs almost nothing and can save thousands of tokens.' It also explains what happens on HIT vs MISS and how auto_route creates a task, giving clear when-to-use and alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the behavior is covered. The description adds no further behavioral context (e.g., pagination, rate limits, or what happens to the system). No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded with the core action. No filler or redundant information. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 8 parameters and no output schema, the description could provide more context about return format, pagination, or how results are ordered. It adequately explains the tool's purpose but lacks completeness on result details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so all parameters are described in the schema. The description does not add extra meaning or usage tips for parameters beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the action ('Search reasoning objects by problem statement') and the purpose ('Find how other agents solved similar problems before you attempt a task'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like get_reasoning and recommend_reasoning by highlighting the search-by-problem aspect.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description provides a clear recommendation for when to use the tool ('before you attempt a task'). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives (e.g., get_reasoning for specific IDs).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate destructive (destructiveHint=true) and idempotent (idempotentHint=true). The description explains the creation behavior and the confirm_failure feature, adding context beyond annotations. However, it does not elaborate on potential side effects or what gets destroyed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with three sentences, each serving a purpose: main action, object creation, and confirmation feature. Information is front-loaded and no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite 19 parameters, the description covers the core use case and links to sibling tools for discovery. It omits details about return values (no output schema) but the schema covers parameters adequately.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the description does not need to add parameter details. It highlights confirm_failure and implicitly references other parameters but does not provide additional meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('store reasoning') and the resource ('reasoning trace'), and distinguishes from sibling tools like search_reasoning and resolve_reasoning by referencing them. It specifies the creation of a 'Reasoning Object' with problem, solution, and optional attempts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides context for when to use (after solving a problem, for future AI) and mentions alternatives (search_reasoning, resolve_reasoning), but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare with other storing tools like memory_gate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the annotations (destructiveHint=true), the description adds behavioral context: it mentions safe-idempotency and validation (min 4 bytes, no duplicates). This helps the agent understand duplicate handling and content constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences: first sentence states the purpose, second adds behavioral details. It is front-loaded, efficient, and contains no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the 9 parameters (2 required), full schema coverage, and presence of annotations, the description adequately covers the tool's purpose and constraints. It lacks details about return values, but no output schema exists. The idempotency description could be clearer, but overall it is sufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already describes all parameters. The description only repeats the min size constraint from the schema (result min 4 characters/bytes). It adds no new parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'submit' and resource 'execution result', and specifies the context 'after claiming and executing a task'. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like claim_task by adding details about idempotency and validation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates the tool should be used after claiming and executing a task, providing clear context. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives, but the purpose is clear enough from the sibling context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
