Tool Definition Quality
Average 4/5 across 6 of 6 tools scored.
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of design resources: fonts, colors, icons, and typesetting. Descriptions clearly differentiate between searching and describing fonts, and between icon search and usage instructions.
Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern with underscores, but 'icons_instructions' is noun_noun and 'typeset' is a single verb, causing minor inconsistency.
Six tools cover the core design resource needs (fonts, colors, icons, typesetting) without unnecessary overhead, fitting perfectly within the ideal 3-15 range.
The tool set provides a comprehensive workflow: search and describe fonts, generate color schemes, search icons with instructions, and apply typesetting. No obvious gaps for the intended design domain.
Available Tools

| description | No | Description of the font family, in Markdown format. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark the tool as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds behavioral context by specifying what information is returned (styles, weights, usage instructions), enhancing the agent's understanding beyond 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 sentence that conveys essential information without redundancy. While concise, it could be more front-loaded by leading with the verb, but overall it is well-structured.
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 presence of both input and output schemas, the description adequately covers the tool's function. It lacks details about edge cases (e.g., invalid font names), but for a descriptor tool with good schema support, this is sufficient.
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 documents both parameters. The description does not add meaning beyond the schema; it merely restates the tool's overall purpose. Baseline score 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 it describes a font family in detail, including look and feel, supported styles, weights, and usage. It uses a specific verb ('describes') and resource ('font family'), and distinct from sibling tools like search_fonts or typeset.
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 when detailed font info is needed, but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. However, context from sibling names (e.g., search_fonts) helps differentiate, so the gap is minor.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
generate_color_schemeARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Generates a Material Design color scheme from one or more key colors. Always use this when you need to create a color scheme for an application. The input is one or more named colors in hex format, and the output is a color scheme with a map of color role names to colors in hex format.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| primaryKey | Yes | Required. The primary key color used as the main seed for the scheme. Can be a 6-character hex code (e.g., "#4285F4" or "4285F4"), or any standard CSS color name (e.g., "blue"). | |
| tertiaryKey | No | Optional. The tertiary key color used to generate the color scheme. If omitted, it will be automatically derived from the other keys. Can be a hex code or any CSS color name. | |
| secondaryKey | No | Optional. The secondary key color used to generate the color scheme. If omitted, it will be automatically derived from the other keys. Can be a hex code or any CSS color name. | |
| backgroundKey | No | Optional. The neutral key color used to generate the color scheme. If omitted, it will be automatically derived from the other keys. Can be a hex code or any CSS color name. | |
| contrastLevel | No | Optional. The contrast level of the color scheme. Values range from -1 (minimum contrast) to 1 (maximum contrast). 0 represents standard contrast (i.e. the design as specified). | |
| optionalTheme | No | Optional. Whether to generate a light or dark theme. If unspecified, and a background key is supplied, it will be inferred from that. If not, it will default to light theme. | |
| optionalSchemeVariant | No | Optional. If only the primary key color is supplied, this will select which variant of the color scheme to use. If only the primary key color is supplied and this is not set, it defaults to "TONAL_SPOT". If multiple key colors are supplied, this is ignored, and it will default to "BRAND". |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| colorScheme | No | The generated color scheme. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds valuable context beyond annotations: it explains input format (hex or CSS names), output format (map of color roles to hex), and behavior of optional fields (derivation, defaults). No contradictions 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?
Three sentences front-load purpose, usage guideline, and input/output summary. No unnecessary words, each sentence 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?
Given the 7 parameters with 100% schema coverage, detailed annotations, and an output schema, the description is complete. It covers the tool's purpose, usage context, input format, and output structure 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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add significant meaning beyond the schema; it mentions input/output format, which is already covered. No additional nuance.
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 generates a Material Design color scheme from key colors, which is specific and distinct from sibling tools about fonts and icons.
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 says 'Always use this when you need to create a color scheme,' providing clear guidance on when to use. However, it does not mention when not to use or discuss alternatives, though siblings are unrelated.
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, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description only restates 'Finds appropriate fonts', adding no behavioral context beyond what annotations provide.
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?
Single sentence front-loading the purpose. No wasted words, highly efficient.
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 output schema exists and annotations cover safety, the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks details on sorting, platform use, or result format.
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 have descriptions. The tool description adds no additional meaning to parameters 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?
Description clearly states the tool finds fonts matching categories and/or languages. It distinguishes from siblings like describe_font and search_icons by specifying the resource (fonts) and filtering criteria.
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?
No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. The description implies usage for category/language-based font discovery but does not contrast with alternatives like searching by name or rendering with typeset.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_iconsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Finds appropriate Material Design icons matching keywords that describe their usage, style, or shape.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| tags | Yes | Required. A list of semantic keywords or metadata tags that describe the desired icon's visual or functional properties. If possible, specify at least three tags to describe usage, style, and shape. Examples: - For a "save" icon: ["save", "diskette", "document", "storage"] - For a "home" icon: ["home", "house", "building"] If multiple tags are provided, the service returns icons that match any part of the tag list, ordered by relevance (number of matching tags). If no tags are provided, all icons are returned. | |
| iconSet | No | Optional. The icon set to search within (e.g., "Material Symbols", "Material Icons"). If omitted, the default icon set of the environment is used. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| icons | No | The names of icons that match the provided tags, ordered by relevance. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, indicating safe, read-only behavior. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond confirming the search nature. It does not disclose any rate limits, pagination, or other behavioral traits.
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, well-structured sentence that gets straight to the point. 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 that an output schema exists, explaining return values is not needed. The description covers the core functionality well. However, it could mention that results are ordered by relevance (already in param description) or any maximum results, but overall it's fairly 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 description coverage is 100%, with detailed explanations for both parameters (tags and iconSet). The main description adds no extra parameter meaning 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?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: finding Material Design icons based on keywords. It uses a specific verb 'Finds' and specifies the resource 'Material Design icons'. This distinguishes it clearly from sibling tools like search_fonts.
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 itself does not include guidelines on when to use this tool versus alternatives. However, the parameter description for 'tags' provides implicit usage guidance (e.g., suggesting at least three tags). No explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tool mention.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
