Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have completely distinct purposes: one for account status and quota, the other for extracting decks. There is no overlap or ambiguity.
The naming styles differ: 'account_status' uses snake_case with a noun phrase, while 'deckextract' is a single lowercase word. Both are readable but the pattern is inconsistent.
With only 2 tools, the server is slightly under the typical 3-15 range, but the narrow scope of deck extraction justifies a minimal surface. The count feels acceptable.
The core extraction workflow is covered, including handling for OTP and resumable sessions. Minor gaps exist, such as no listing of past extractions or cancellation, but the domain is essentially complete.
Returns the calling account's plan (free or Pro), whether it's signed in, and this month's extraction usage and remaining quota. Takes no input.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so behavioral traits are covered. The description adds detail on what data is returned, which is useful but not beyond what annotations convey.
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, no 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?
For a simple read-only tool with no parameters, good annotations, and an output schema, the description is adequately complete. It specifies the key returned fields.
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?
No parameters; schema coverage is 100%. Description confirms 'Takes no input,' matching the empty input schema. Baseline for 0 params is 4.
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 tool returns account plan, sign-in status, and usage/quota. Verb 'returns' and resource 'calling account's status' are specific. Sibling 'deckextract' is likely for a different purpose, so no confusion.
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 states it takes no input, implying it can be called freely. Does not explicitly state when not to use it, but context with sibling tool makes it clear this is for status checks.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Extract a deck from a DocSend or Papermark sharing link. Returns a temporary download URL and a readable deckextract://deck/... resource for the PDF/PPTX (or a ZIP for data rooms — a DocSend Space or Papermark data room counts as one extraction like any other link). Pass analyze: true (requires a DeckExtract Pro account) to also return structured deck data. Decks that email the viewer a verification step return resume tokens with retry instructions: fetch the emailed 6-digit code and retry with otp + otpSessionId (Papermark), or retry with url set to the emailed confirmation link + sessionId (DocSend). Typical extraction takes 15-90 seconds; the public API is rate limited to 5 extractions per IP per 30 minutes.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| otp | No | The 6-digit verification code the deck emailed to the viewer (requires_email_otp step). Send together with otpSessionId. | |
| url | Yes | The deck sharing link, e.g. https://docsend.com/view/... or https://papermark.com/view/... — on a requires_email_confirmation retry, pass the confirmation link from the verification email instead. | |
| No | Email to present to email-gated decks. If omitted, an ephemeral address is generated automatically when the deck requires one. | ||
| format | No | Output format (default 'pdf') | |
| analyze | No | If true, also return structured analysis of the deck (company, team, round, metrics, market, competition). Requires a DeckExtract Pro account. | |
| password | No | Passcode for passcode-protected decks | |
| sessionId | No | Resume token from a prior requires_password or requires_email_confirmation reply. Echo it on the retry so the same viewer session is reused. | |
| otpSessionId | No | Resume token from a prior requires_email_otp reply. The parked session lives ~5 minutes; a wrong code returns a fresh token. |
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| format | Yes | |
| analysis | No | Structured deck analysis (present when analyze=true succeeded) |
| expiresAt | Yes | ISO timestamp when the URL/resource expires |
| sizeBytes | Yes | |
| sourceUrl | Yes | |
| downloadUrl | Yes | Temporary URL of the extracted deck |
| resourceUri | Yes | MCP resource URI (deckextract://deck/...) to read the bytes via resources/read |
| analysisError | No | Set when extraction succeeded but analysis could not be produced |
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the annotations (which are minimal), the description discloses important behaviors: it returns a temporary download URL and a readable resource, treats data rooms as single extractions, requires a Pro account for analyze, and describes the two-step verification flows with resume tokens and their timeouts. This gives the agent a clear model of side effects and retries, adding significant value over the 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?
The description is a single dense paragraph but every sentence contributes unique information: core action, output, data-room exception, Pro analysis option, verification retries for both services, and performance/rate limits. It is front-loaded with the primary purpose and avoids redundancies with the schema. It is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.
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 tool's complexity (8 parameters, verification flows, output schema), the description covers all major operational aspects: it explains what is returned, the special treatment of data rooms, the conditions for requiring retries and how to resume them, and external constraints (Pro account, rate limits). The output schema exists, so return-value details are not needed in the description. This is a complete guide for correct invocation.
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?
The input schema already provides 100% description coverage for all 8 parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description adds extra semantics by explaining how parameters are used together (otp + otpSessionId for Papermark, url + sessionId for DocSend) and the behavior of the analyze parameter. It also clarifies the default format and the auto-generation of an ephemeral email. This is a meaningful complement to the schema, though a few parameters (email, password) are only marginally enhanced.
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 states the exact action: 'Extract a deck from a DocSend or Papermark sharing link.' It names the resource types (DocSend/Papermark), the output (temporary URL and deckextract:// resource), and special cases (ZIP for data rooms). This clearly distinguishes it from the only sibling, account_status.
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 detailed guidance on when to use the tool and how to handle various response flows: it explains the typical extraction time (15-90 seconds), rate limits (5 per IP per 30 minutes), and retry instructions for email verification (OTP for Papermark, confirmation link for DocSend). It also notes the Pro requirement for analyze:true. While it doesn't explicitly state alternatives, the only sibling (account_status) is unrelated, so the context is sufficiently explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
