C2.4/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits, but it only states the core action. It does not mention side effects, reversibility, permissions, or what happens to the previous current version, which is a significant gap for a mutation tool.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It conveys the essential action and result efficiently, making it highly concise and well-structured.

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

Completeness1/5

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

The description is too minimal for the tool's context: no annotations, no output schema, and no parameter details. It lacks essential information about when to use it, what the id refers to, and the consequences of publishing, leaving the agent under-informed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the 'id' parameter. It only vaguely refers to 'a prompt version', leaving the agent to infer that 'id' corresponds to a version ID without explicit confirmation.

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 clearly states a specific action ('Publish') and a specific resource ('a prompt version'), with a concrete outcome ('making it the current version'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like prompts_create or prompts_update, though it does not explicitly contrast with them.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, eligibility of versions, or relationships to other prompt tools, leaving the agent without usage context.

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

B3/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action, with clear separation across agreements, datasets, judges, metrics, prompts, runs, tags, and usage. Even similar tools like datasets_create vs datasets_create_from_url and runs_generate vs runs_rerun are explicitly differentiated in their descriptions.

Naming Consistency5/5

The overwhelming majority of tools follow a consistent plural_resource_action snake_case pattern (e.g., datasets_create, metrics_update, runs_retry_failures). The only slight deviation is promptfoo_import, but it is still descriptive and does not break the overall predictability.

Tool Count1/5

With 54 tools, the server far exceeds the 25+ threshold considered too many, and approaches the 50+ extreme mismatch level. Even for a broad LLM evaluation platform, this count is excessive and likely to overwhelm agents, making tool selection more error-prone.

Completeness4/5

The toolset provides full CRUD for core resources (datasets, metrics, prompts, runs, tags) plus lifecycle operations like publish, generate, regrade, and retry. It also includes cross-cutting utilities (usage, import, provider credentials). Minor gaps exist, such as no update/delete for agreements and no cross-run response search, but these are non-essential for the primary workflows.
