Get analyst knowledge

sm_get_knowledge
Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns Space Monkey's MCP knowledge documents (analyst preamble, metric guardrails, live OpenAPI schema URL) as tool output for clients that cannot read MCP resources — read this before interpreting any Space Monkey metrics.

  5. First observed

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish the safe-read profile (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, non-destructive, closed-world), so the lighter bar applies. The description adds genuine context by explaining it exists as a fallback for clients lacking resource-read support, which the annotations do not convey.

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 with a parenthetical enumeration and an em-dash clause that carries the usage trigger. Dense but every clause earns its place; only slightly run-on.

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?

An output schema exists, so return format needn't be restated, and annotations already cover the safety profile. Purpose, contents, and the usage trigger are all present, leaving only minor gaps around the parametrized topic fetch.

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 optional 'topic' enum is fully documented upstream, so the baseline of 3 applies. The description names three of the four topics but omits 'faq' and never mentions the omit-to-get-index behavior, adding little beyond the schema.

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 and resource ('Returns ... knowledge documents') and enumerates the payload (analyst preamble, metric guardrails, OpenAPI schema URL), so an agent knows exactly what comes back. It does not explicitly contrast itself with nearby siblings like sm_get_prompt or sm_get_schema, which keeps it short of a 5.

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?

Gives a clear trigger ('read this before interpreting any Space Monkey metrics') and a scope condition ('for clients that cannot read MCP resources'), implicitly routing resource-capable clients elsewhere. It stops short of naming a specific alternative tool or stating when-not to call it in more absolute terms.

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