The Cure Protocol

get_scoreboard

Read-only

CALL THIS BEFORE QUOTING THE SIZE OF THIS INDEX. Returns live counts of trial registrations, deduplicated canonical trials, active trials, cross-registry trials, reframed articles and cure research items, plus the number of standing objectives, open questions and abstraction nodes, a rolling twenty four hour traffic summary, and a list of things this scoreboard deliberately cannot measure. NEXT: get_api_status for reliability, get_open_questions for work.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful behavioral context beyond that: counts are "live" (not cached), a rolling 24-hour window for traffic, and an explicit "list of things this scoreboard deliberately cannot measure" that warns the agent about scope limits. It stops short of stating freshness/staleness semantics or failure modes, so not a 5.

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 critical directive and next-step routing are front-loaded and the middle is a single dense enumeration, but that enumeration is long and overlaps with what the output schema already exposes. It earns most of its space, though a shorter phrasing could carry the same signal.

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?

With an output schema present, the description needn't enumerate returns, yet it gives the agent enough to know scope, when to call it, known blind spots, and where to go next. For a zero-parameter, read-only dashboard tool this is 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?

Zero input parameters, so there is no parameter semantics to explain and the baseline of 4 applies. The description correctly spends no words on arguments and instead describes the return payload.

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 resource ("Returns live counts of trial registrations, deduplicated canonical trials, active trials, cross-registry trials, reframed articles and cure research items") plus secondary counts and a 24h traffic summary. This is clearly distinguishable from siblings like get_trial_stats or get_api_status, which expose narrower slices.

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?

The opening imperative "CALL THIS BEFORE QUOTING THE SIZE OF THIS INDEX" gives an explicit trigger condition, and the trailing "NEXT: get_api_status for reliability, get_open_questions for work" routes the agent to the correct sibling for adjacent needs. Nothing about when to reach for this tool is left to inference.

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