Which mod crashed Minecraft

diagnose_crash
Read-onlyIdempotent

Find the mod most likely behind a modded Minecraft crash (Fabric, NeoForge, Forge). Use it whenever the user shares a crash report or latest.log or says the game will not start. It is the only tool that reads logs, and it adds what the file does not hold: it checks every installed mod against the Modkeel lab (pairs in the pack that clashed, jars that crashed on that Minecraft version), says how many other players hit the same crash and which fix worked for them (when 10+ did), counts lab runs of each suspect, and ranks suspects by evidence (mixin, trace, missing class) with a confidence level (NONE when nothing points at a mod). It also returns a fix guide and, when the log names the Minecraft version and loader, the build to install for the suspect and for every installed mod the lab saw crash on that version, so no follow-up call is needed. Pass the whole file as text, unedited: trimming it loses the mod list; or, when the user gave a link to a paste (mclo.gs, pastebin.com, paste.ee, gist.github.com, modkeel.com), pass url instead and Modkeel fetches it. Text with no crash in it comes back as an error to fix and retry. Up to 4 MB; read and dropped, never stored.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlNoA link to the crash report or log on a paste site (mclo.gs, pastebin.com, paste.ee, gist.github.com, modkeel.com), e.g. https://mclo.gs/abc123. Modkeel downloads the raw text itself. Give text or url.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, open-world), and the description adds substantial context beyond them: cross-checking against the Modkeel lab, the 10+ player threshold for fix reporting, a NONE confidence fallback, an error on logs containing no crash, a 4 MB cap, and 'read and dropped, never stored.' That is a rich disclosure of behavior, limits, and data handling.

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?

Front-loaded with purpose and trigger, and nearly every clause carries operational information. It is a dense single paragraph that runs long, but the length is justified by the tool's complexity rather than padding.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Even though an output schema exists, the description covers inputs, the text/url choice, size limits, error behavior, privacy, and the shape of the ranking output. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

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%, so the schema already documents both parameters and the paste-site list. The description still adds real meaning the schema lacks: 'Pass the whole file as text, unedited: trimming it loses the mod list,' which tells the agent why fidelity matters.

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?

States a specific verb and outcome ('Find the mod most likely behind a modded Minecraft crash') and names the supported loaders. It also separates itself from siblings with 'It is the only tool that reads logs,' so an agent can tell it apart from check_mod_list, check_mod_pair, and get_mod_runs without opening a schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives explicit trigger conditions ('whenever the user shares a crash report or latest.log or says the game will not start') and effectively excludes alternatives by declaring itself the only log-reading tool. The url-vs-text branch is spelled out with the exact paste sites that select the url path.

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