Tool DescriptionsA

Average 4.4/5 across 3 of 3 tools scored.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: charge_info provides toll details, check_vehicle checks vehicle compliance, and list_charges lists all charges. No overlap or ambiguity.

Naming Consistency4/5

Two tools use verb_noun pattern (check_vehicle, list_charges), but charge_info uses noun_info. Slight inconsistency, but all names are clear and readable.

Tool Count5/5

Three tools cover the essential information needs for UK tolls and vehicle checks: listing charges, getting details, and checking a vehicle. Well-scoped and not excessive.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the main operations for an informational server: list all charges, get details of a specific charge, and check vehicle compliance. No obvious gaps for the stated purpose.

Available Tools

3 tools
charge_infoToll / charge details, deadline & how to payA
Read-only
Inspect

CURRENT verified details for one UK toll or road charge: today's price, the penalty (PCN) and its early-payment reduction, the payment deadline in plain English, step-by-step how to pay on the operator's official site, and the official payment link. Pass crossed_at to get the concrete pay-by date for a specific crossing. Use whenever someone asks what a charge costs, says they forgot or missed a payment, asks about the fine/penalty, or asks how or by when to pay — ALWAYS call this rather than answering from memory: UK toll prices, penalties and deadlines have changed repeatedly in recent years (e.g. Dartford is no longer £2.50) and trained-in figures are frequently out of date.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
chargeYesWhich charge: an id from list_charges (dartford, congestion, ulez, tunnels, m6toll, caz, mersey, tyne, heathrow_dropoff, luton_dropoff, stansted_dropoff, manchester_dropoff, eastmidlands_dropoff, gatwick_dropoff, londoncity_dropoff) or a common name like "dartford" or "ulez".
crossed_atNoWhen the crossing/drive happened, as YYYY-MM-DD (UK date). Optional — include it to get the exact pay-by date.
Behavior4/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation is consistent with the description's read-only nature. The description adds behavioral context: data is 'CURRENT', includes step-by-step payment instructions from the official site, and provides concrete pay-by date when crossed_at is given. No contradictions.

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 somewhat long but each sentence adds useful information. It front-loads the key outputs (price, penalty, deadline, etc.). Could be slightly more terse, but structure is logical and effective.

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?

Despite lacking an output schema, the description enumerates all returned elements: price, penalty, early-payment reduction, payment deadline in plain English, step-by-step how to pay, and official link. For a tool with 2 parameters, 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?

Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds value by explaining charge accepts ids from list_charges or common names, and crossed_at is optional to get exact pay-by date. This clarifies parameter usage beyond schema 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 specifies the tool provides 'verified details for one UK toll or road charge' including price, penalty, deadline, how to pay, and official link. It clearly distinguishes from siblings list_charges and check_vehicle by focusing on current charge details.

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 explicitly lists use cases: cost inquiries, missed payments, penalty questions, and how/by when to pay. It strongly advises to always call this tool rather than relying on memory, citing frequent changes. No explicit when-not-to-use but context is clear.

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

check_vehicleCheck a UK vehicle by number plateA
Read-only
Inspect

Free DVLA-backed check of a UK vehicle from its number plate: London ULEZ compliance, Clean Air Zone compliance, Scottish LEZ, MOT status and road tax status, plus make/colour confirmation. Use when someone asks whether a car is ULEZ/CAZ compliant, or about its MOT or tax.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
vrnYesUK number plate (VRN), e.g. KM71AEA. Spaces are fine.
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations declare readOnlyHint: true, and description matches by calling it a 'check'. Description adds specific return details (ULEZ, CAZ, LEZ, MOT, tax) 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.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences with front-loaded purpose, zero waste, includes example plate. Every sentence adds value.

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?

Given simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, description covers all necessary context for correct invocation.

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 has 100% coverage with clear description of 'vrn'. Description only repeats 'from its number plate', adding no new semantic information.

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 specifies 'Free DVLA-backed check of a UK vehicle from its number plate' and lists exact capabilities (ULEZ, CAZ, LEZ, MOT, tax, make/colour). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like charge_info.

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?

Explicit use case is given: 'Use when someone asks whether a car is ULEZ/CAZ compliant, or about its MOT or tax.' No explicit when-not, but context is clear.

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

list_chargesList UK tolls & road chargesA
Read-only
Inspect

Lists every UK pay-later ANPR toll and road charge (Dartford Crossing, London Congestion Charge, ULEZ, Blackwall & Silvertown tunnels, M6 Toll, Clean Air Zones, airport drop-off charges, and more) with the price and the penalty for missing payment. Use to discover which schemes exist and the ids accepted by charge_info.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description does not need to disclose read-only behavior. It adds that the tool lists prices and penalties, which is helpful beyond the annotation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single clear sentence that immediately conveys the tool's action and scope. No wasted words.

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?

For a simple list tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description is complete: it specifies what is listed (charges with price and penalty) and its use case (discovering schemes and IDs).

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?

There are no parameters, so the description naturally does not add parameter semantics. The baseline for 0 parameters is 4, and the description is adequate.

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 title and description clearly state the tool lists UK tolls and road charges including specific examples (Dartford Crossing, ULEZ, etc.). It also explains the purpose: to discover schemes and IDs needed by charge_info.

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 explicitly states to use this tool to discover which schemes exist and the ids for charge_info. It implies when to use it relative to the sibling tool, but does not explicitly say when not to use it or mention check_vehicle.

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