map_api_experience

Read-only

Map each REST operation to its MCP tool and Agent Skill — the API -> MCP -> Agent-Skill chain — from an APIs.json, with a free/paid coverage scorecard and a flow map.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
contextNoOptional: why you are asking. One sentence — the task you are trying to complete, or what you expect to get back. Never included in the answer and never used to rank; it is read only when a result turns out to be wrong, which is when knowing the intent is what makes the report actionable.

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description usefully adds what the call produces — a coverage scorecard and a flow map — which matters since there is no output schema. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., that an APIs.json must be supplied) or any limits, so it adds moderate value over annotations.

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 that puts the verb and the chain up front and ends with the deliverables. Em-dash nesting makes it slightly dense, but there is no filler and nothing redundant.

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 no output schema, the description carries the return-value burden and does so by naming the scorecard and flow map. For a read-only, zero-required-parameter tool this is close to sufficient; only the input source precondition is left implicit.

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 single 'context' parameter is fully documented in the schema, including its non-ranking, never-included semantics. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond that, so baseline 3 applies.

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 verb ('Map') and precise resources ('each REST operation to its MCP tool and Agent Skill'), names the input source (APIs.json) and the outputs (coverage scorecard, flow map). The API->MCP->Agent-Skill chain phrasing makes the transformation concrete. It stops short of naming which sibling it differs from, but the resource scope is unambiguous.

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?

No when-to-use guidance and no alternatives named despite a crowded sibling set (api_coverage, api_scorecard, forge_mcp_tools, generate_agent_descriptor). An agent must infer that this tool produces the mapping/scorecard rather than a raw coverage count. Nothing tells it when this is the right pick.

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