Tool DescriptionsA

Average 5/5 across 1 of 1 tools scored.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion between tools. The single tool has a clear, distinct purpose.

Naming Consistency5/5

The tool name 'find_mass_times' follows a clear verb_noun pattern, and with only one tool, there are no inconsistencies to evaluate.

Tool Count3/5

A single tool for a very specific domain (finding mass and confession times in NYC) is borderline acceptable. It feels thin but not unreasonable for a focused utility.

Completeness2/5

The tool only covers one operation (finding times), lacking any CRUD or lifecycle support for churches or events. Significant functionality like getting church details or adding events is missing.

Find every Catholic Mass and Confession within a day + time window at churches near a place in New York City. Takes a place name, neighborhood, or address (e.g. 'Park Slope', 'Times Square', '86th St and Lexington') — not coordinates. Requires a day of the week and a from/to time window (24-hour HH:MM); returns every matching Mass and Confession at each church in that window, bounded by an adjustable radius.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dayYesDay of the week to look for.
toTimeYesEnd of the time window, 24-hour HH:MM (e.g. '12:00').
fromTimeYesStart of the time window, 24-hour HH:MM (e.g. '09:00').
locationYesA place, neighborhood, landmark, or address in New York City.
radiusKmNoSearch radius in kilometers. Defaults to 2km.
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, which the description aligns with ('Find'). The description adds behavioral details beyond annotations: it describes the return as 'every matching Mass and Confession at each church', explains input constraints (no coordinates, 24-hour time), and mentions radius bounding. This helps an agent understand side effects and response structure.

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?

The description is a single clear paragraph of three sentences. It front-loads the purpose and then adds constraints. While it could be slightly more structured (e.g., bullet points for parameters), it is sufficiently concise and readable.

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?

Given the tool has 5 parameters, no output schema, and moderate complexity, the description adequately covers inputs (with examples) and output (returns matching Masses/Confessions). It explains the time window and radius. It could mention potential limitations (e.g., API performance), but for the scope, it is fairly complete.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds value by explaining the 'location' parameter (not coordinates, with examples), reiterating the time format, and noting the default radius. This contextual information helps an agent use parameters correctly beyond the schema's descriptions.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'Find', the resource 'every Catholic Mass and Confession', and the scope: 'within a day + time window at churches near a place in New York City.' It precisely defines the tool's function and leaves no ambiguity about what it does.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides detailed usage context: it specifies input types (place name, not coordinates), required parameters (day, from/to time), and optional radius. It explains the time format and gives examples. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or list alternatives, but with no siblings, this is acceptable.

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