Tool DescriptionsB

Average 3.5/5 across 18 of 20 tools scored. Lowest: 2.3/5.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation3/5

Multiple search tools (search, search.global, nearMe.search) overlap significantly, potentially confusing an agent. Safety overview vs. individual alerts also cause minor ambiguity, though most resource-specific tools are distinct.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a consistent resource.action pattern (e.g., trails.search, parks.get). However, exceptions like 'search', 'fetch', and 'nearMe.search' break the pattern, introducing mild inconsistency.

Tool Count5/5

20 tools cover the diverse outdoors domain (trails, parks, campgrounds, weather, etc.) without being excessive. Each tool serves a clear purpose, and the count fits well.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers the core read-only needs for outdoor trip planning, including search, detail retrieval, weather, and safety info. Minor gaps like missing state/region listing or navigation features are acceptable given the read-only scope.

Available Tools

adventure.candidatesB
Read-only
Inspect

Suggest candidate adventures near a location by scoring nearby trails/parks/campgrounds deterministically.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latYes
lngYes
typesNo
max_resultsNo
radius_milesNo
trail_difficultyNo
Behavior3/5

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

The description adds context about deterministic scoring, but the readOnlyHint annotation already conveys safety. No contradictions, but more details on scoring logic or return behavior would improve transparency.

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?

A single, concise sentence that immediately conveys the core function without extraneous information, earning its place efficiently.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite low complexity, the description omits key details like return format, scoring criteria, and parameter constraints, making it insufficient for an agent to fully understand tool behavior.

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

Parameters1/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must explain parameters but does not mention any (lat, lng, types, max_results, radius_miles, trail_difficulty), leaving them entirely undocumented.

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 'suggest' and the resource 'candidate adventures', and explains the deterministic scoring of nearby trails, parks, and campgrounds, effectively distinguishing from sibling tools that focus on individual entities.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like trails.search or parks.get, nor does it specify conditions or exclusions for usage, leaving the agent without context for selection.

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

adventure.outlineB
Read-only
Inspect

Create a structured, day-by-day itinerary outline from selected trail/park/campground IDs or slugs.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
parkNo
trailNo
end_dateYes
campgroundNo
start_dateYes
Behavior1/5

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

Description says 'Create', implying mutation, but annotations have readOnlyHint=true, indicating read-only behavior. This is a clear contradiction. No further disclosure of behavioral traits (e.g., side effects, auth needs).

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?

Single sentence with no wasted words, front-loaded with action and resource. Highly concise.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Missing output schema, no return value description, and parameter details are absent. Given 5 parameters (2 required) and sibling tools, the description fails to provide enough context for complete usage.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and description only vaguely mentions 'IDs or slugs' without specifying format, types, or relationships. No added meaning beyond parameter names for park, trail, campground, start_date, end_date.

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?

Description clearly states verb 'Create' and resource 'structured, day-by-day itinerary outline' from 'selected trail/park/campground IDs or slugs'. It distinguishes from siblings like adventure.candidates which likely suggests options, and search/get tools that retrieve raw data.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Description implies usage after selection of IDs/slugs, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like adventure.candidates or individual get tools. No when-not-to-use guidance or prerequisites mentioned.

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

aqi.currentC
Read-only
Inspect

Current air quality (AQI) for a location.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latYes
lonYes
distance_milesNo
Behavior3/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already indicates this is a safe read operation. The description adds no extra behavioral details (e.g., data source, update frequency, rate limits). It is adequate but does not go beyond annotation.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. However, it achieves conciseness by omitting necessary details, which reduces usefulness. It is front-loaded with the key purpose but lacks structure for additional context.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given no output schema and 3 parameters with no descriptions, the description is insufficient. It does not explain return structure, data availability, or spatial accuracy. For a tool with moderate complexity, it fails to provide a complete picture.

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

Parameters1/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description should explain parameters but does not. 'for a location' only vaguely implies lat/lon. The distance_miles parameter and its default are not mentioned. No unit or format guidance is given.

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 identifies the tool's purpose: retrieving current air quality (AQI) for a location. The verb is implied by 'Current' and the resource is 'air quality (AQI)'. It is distinct from sibling tools like weather.current which provides meteorological data.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not specify prerequisites, such as valid lat/lon boundaries, or when not to use it (e.g., for forecasts). No comparison with similar tools like aqi.forecast if it existed.

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

campgrounds.getA
Read-only
Inspect

Get a single published, verified campground by id or slug.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
campgroundYes
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true. The description adds context that the returned campground is 'published, verified', which is behavioral meaning beyond what annotations provide. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Single sentence, no redundant words, front-loaded with the verb. Perfectly concise for the information conveyed.

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?

For a simple getter with one required parameter and no output schema, the description covers the main purpose and parameter semantics. Could mention behavior on not found, but overall adequate.

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?

The schema only defines 'campground' as a string with 0% documentation coverage. The description adds that this parameter accepts 'id or slug', providing critical meaning beyond the schema.

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 action 'Get', the resource 'single published, verified campground', and the lookup method 'by id or slug'. It is specific and distinct from siblings like 'campgrounds.search'.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies use when you need a specific campground by ID or slug, but does not explicitly state when to use this versus alternatives like 'campgrounds.search'. No when-not or exclusion criteria provided.

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

campgrounds.searchB
Read-only
Inspect

reservation_typeNo
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, consistent with 'search'. Description mentions filtering capabilities but lacks details on pagination, ordering, or result set limitations. Adequate but minimal additional value 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?

Single concise sentence, no wasted words. Clearly front-loaded with the core purpose.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite high complexity (15 parameters, no output schema), the description is too minimal. Lacks pagination, ordering, return format, or behavioral details beyond basic filtering. Not complete enough for the tool's complexity.

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

Parameters2/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but only mentions a few filter types (type, reservation, region/state, geo), leaving 11 of 15 parameters unexplained (e.g., q, page, has_cabins). Insufficient for a parameter-heavy tool.

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 'Search' and the resource 'campgrounds', and specifies they are 'published, verified' with common filters. This differentiates it from sibling tools like parks.search or campsites.list.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like campgrounds.get or campsites.list. The description implies search use case but does not provide exclusions or context for selection.

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

campsites.getA
Read-only
Inspect

Get a single campsite (and its campground/park/region relations) by campground + campsite id.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
campgroundYes
campsite_idYes
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations provide readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds that it retrieves relations (campground/park/region), which is useful behavioral information beyond the annotation. 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

Single sentence, front-loaded with key action and resource. No unnecessary words.

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 no output schema, the description hints at return content (relations), which is helpful. However, it doesn't specify if a single object or array is returned, or other fields. Almost complete but slightly lacking.

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 coverage is 0% (only types), so the description must compensate. It states the parameters are campground and campsite_id, but does not explain their format (e.g., campground string meaning, campsite_id integer range). Provides basic purpose but insufficient detail.

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 'Get' and resource 'campsite', and specifies that it returns related campground/park/region data. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'campsites.list' (list multiple) and 'campgrounds.get' (get campground).

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage when retrieving a single campsite by IDs, but does not explicitly state when to use or not use this tool compared to alternatives like 'campsites.list' or 'campgrounds.get'.

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

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already set readOnlyHint=true, so the tool's read-only nature is clear. The description adds no extra behavioral details beyond listing filters; it does not mention pagination, sorting, or caching, which are present in the schema. No contradiction with 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?

A single well-formed sentence delivers the core purpose and key filter types without redundancy. Every word adds value, making it optimal for quick scanning.

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

Completeness2/5

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

With 18 parameters, 0% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It omits essential information such as required parameter 'campground', pagination parameters, sorting, and the return structure. A more detailed description is needed to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.

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 0%, so description must compensate. It mentions filter categories (type, hookups, accessibility, availability, loop) which partially map to schema parameters, but many parameters (e.g., page, sort, per_page, vehicle_length) are not addressed. The grouping helps but is insufficient for full parameter understanding.

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 tool lists campsites for a campground and enumerates filter categories (type, hookups, accessibility, availability, loop), distinguishing it from siblings like campsites.get (single site) and campgrounds.search (campground search).

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 implies usage when needing a filtered list of campsites within a campground, but does not explicitly contrast with alternative tools or provide when-not-to-use guidance. The filter list gives some context but lacks completeness.

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

fetchA
Read-only
Inspect

Fetch the full Outdoors record for a search result id (e.g. "trail:bear-lake-loop", "park:rocky-mountain-national-park"). Returns the complete text of the record plus the canonical theoutdoorsapp.com URL for citation.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYes
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description adds context about returning text and URL but does not disclose additional behavioral traits like authentication needs or rate limits. It is adequate but not enhanced 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 concise sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose and follow-up details. Every word earns its place; no redundancy.

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 simple tool (one parameter, no output schema, annotations covering safety), the description adequately explains what the tool does and what it returns. Could be slightly more precise about the return format (e.g., JSON structure), but overall sufficient.

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?

The schema provides only a type for 'id' with no description (0% coverage). The description compensates by explaining that id is a search result id and gives specific examples (e.g., 'trail:bear-lake-loop'), adding meaningful context beyond the schema.

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 it fetches the full Outdoors record for a search result id, providing examples of id format and specifying the return includes complete text and a canonical URL. This differentiates it from sibling tools like trails.get or parks.get.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies use after obtaining a search result id ('for a search result id'), but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or how it compares to alternatives like trails.get or parks.get. No direct mention of prerequisites or exclusions.

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

fires.nearbyC
Read-only
Inspect

Nearby wildfire incidents for a location.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latYes
lonYes
radius_milesNo
Behavior2/5

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

The description does not add behavioral details beyond the annotations. It does not mention that the tool is read-only (already covered), nor does it describe any limits, data format, or behavior regarding the radius parameter.

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 short sentence, which is concise. However, it could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the lack of output schema, param descriptions, and behavioral detail, the description is insufficient for an AI agent to fully understand the tool's capabilities and requirements.

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

Parameters2/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but does not. It only mentions 'for a location' (implied lat/lon) and omits the radius_miles parameter entirely, adding minimal meaning 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?

The description clearly identifies the resource as 'wildfire incidents' and implies a location-based query. However, it lacks an explicit verb (e.g., 'lists' or 'retrieves'), which slightly reduces clarity. It distinguishes from sibling tools as there are no other fire-specific tools.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools like 'weather.alerts' might overlap, but no comparison or exclusion criteria are given.

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

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already mark it read-only. The description adds 'aggregate' and 'map-first exploration' but lacks details on how results are combined or behaviors like pagination.

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 single sentence is concise and front-loads purpose, but given the parameter complexity, it could be slightly more informative without sacrificing brevity.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite having an output schema, the description does not clarify how to invoke the tool (e.g., location requirements) or what the aggregated output looks like, making it incomplete for effective use.

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

Parameters1/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to explain any of the 9 parameters (e.g., lat, lng, radius, limits), leaving agents without guidance on parameter usage.

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 tool aggregates nearby Trails, Parks, and Campgrounds for map-first exploration, distinguishing it from sibling tools that search individual types.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies use for aggregated map exploration but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like trails.search or parks.search.

Behavior3/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already indicates this is a safe, read-only operation. The description confirms this by labeling it a health check, but adds no additional behavioral context beyond what annotations convey.

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?

A single, focused sentence that efficiently communicates the tool's purpose with no redundancy or filler. Front-loaded with the key action and target.

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's simplicity (no parameters, read-only, health check), the description is mostly adequate. The presence of an output schema likely covers return value details, though the description does not elaborate on the response format.

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 zero parameters in the input schema, so the description cannot add meaning beyond the schema. Baseline score of 4 applies as the description does not need to compensate for parameter documentation.

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 'Health check for the Outdoors MCP server,' providing a specific verb ('health check') and resource ('Outdoors MCP server'). It is distinct from sibling tools, which are focused on specific data queries and actions.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for verifying server health but does not explicitly state when to use it or mention alternatives. No guidance on prerequisites or contraindications is provided.

qNo
latNo
lngNo
pageNo
boundsNo
per_pageNo
park_typeNo
region_idNo
radius_metersNo
Behavior4/5

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

The description adds context beyond the readOnlyHint annotation by specifying that it searches published, verified parks with optional filters. It does not disclose pagination or rate limits but is adequate given 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?

Single sentence of 9 words, front-loaded with key information. No wasted words.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite having 9 parameters, no output schema, and no required fields, the description is too brief. It lacks detail on defaults, result format, pagination, or behavior, making it incomplete for a complex search tool.

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

Parameters2/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description's mention of 'geo and region filters' only partially explains the 9 parameters. It omits details for 'q', 'page', 'per_page', 'park_type', and others, leaving significant gaps.

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 tool searches published, verified parks with optional geo and region filters. The verb 'Search' and resource 'parks' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like 'search' and 'search.global'.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for searching parks but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'parks.get' or 'trails.search'. No guidance on when not to use or prerequisites.

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

safety.overviewA
Read-only
Inspect

Combined safety overview (weather alerts, AQI, wildfire context) for a location.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latYes
lonYes
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true. The description adds that the tool aggregates multiple data sources, providing behavioral context beyond the annotation without contradiction.

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?

A single sentence that is front-loaded, concise, and contains no wasted words. Every element serves a purpose.

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?

The description covers the main components of the overview but omits details about the output format. Given no output schema, a brief mention of return structure would improve completeness.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the parameters lat and lon beyond their names. The agent must infer they are coordinates, adding no semantic value.

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 it provides a combined safety overview including weather alerts, AQI, and wildfire context. It distinguishes from sibling tools that focus on individual aspects (e.g., weather.alerts, aqi.current, fires.nearby).

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies use when a holistic safety view is needed, but does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives for specific data needs. Guidelines are implied rather than stated.

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

search.globalA
Read-only
Inspect

Global search across trails, parks, campgrounds, and water bodies (uses Meilisearch when available).

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qYes
limitNo
Behavior3/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already indicates safe read operation. The description adds that it uses Meilisearch when available, which is useful context about search engine dependency. No additional behavioral details (e.g., pagination, rate limits) are provided, keeping score at a 3.

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 sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and a key behavioral detail. No redundancy or unnecessary information.

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's simplicity (2 parameters, no output schema), the description is largely complete. It covers scope and a notable implementation detail. Missing: behavior when Meilisearch is not available and return format, but overall acceptable.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, but the parameters (q and limit) are self-explanatory from their names and types. The description does not elaborate on their purpose or format, leaving a gap for detailed meaning. A 2 reflects the lack of explicit parameter guidance.

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 tool performs a global search across multiple types of resources (trails, parks, campgrounds, water bodies), using a specific verb and resource enumeration. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like parks.search and campgrounds.search by covering all categories at once.

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 implies usage when a cross-category search is needed, and the sibling tools provide clear alternatives for category-specific searches. However, it does not explicitly state when to avoid this tool or mention conditions like when Meilisearch is unavailable.

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

trails.getA
Read-only
Inspect

Get a single public, verified trail by id or slug, including nearby trails and breadcrumbs.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
trailYes
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations provide readOnlyHint=true, so safety is clear. The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations by noting the inclusion of nearby trails and breadcrumbs. It does not cover error conditions or authorization needs, but these are less critical for a read operation.

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?

One concise sentence covering purpose, identifiers, and additional data included. No wasted words.

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?

For a simple get tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately states the purpose, scope (public, verified), and included data (nearby trails, breadcrumbs). Could be slightly more complete with output format hints, but overall sufficient.

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?

The single parameter 'trail' has 0% schema coverage, but the description explains it can be an 'id or slug', providing meaning beyond the schema. It could be improved with format examples or constraints.

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 'Get' and the resource 'a single public, verified trail', with distinguishing details like 'by id or slug' and 'including nearby trails and breadcrumbs'. It effectively differentiates from sibling tools like trails.search.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage context is implied: use this to retrieve a specific trail by identifier, while trails.search is for multiple results. However, no explicit when-to-use, when-not, or alternative guidance is provided.

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

trails.searchA

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true; the description adds 'verified' but does not disclose other behavioral traits like pagination, result format, or rate limits. The value added beyond annotations is modest.

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, front-loaded sentence with 14 words, efficiently conveying the core purpose and key capability without redundancy.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite 13 parameters and no output schema, the description omits pagination, sorting, difficulty, length filters, and other common parameters, leaving significant gaps for an agent to understand usage.

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

Parameters2/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description provides minimal parameter guidance, only hinting at geo-filtering via bounds and near-me. It does not explain other parameters like q, sort, difficulty, etc.

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 action (Search), resource (public, verified trails), and scope (with filters). It distinguishes from siblings like trails.get and other resource-specific searches.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description mentions supported filter types (map bounds, near-me) implying some context but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like trails.get or campgrounds.search.

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

weather.alertsC
Read-only
Inspect

Weather alerts for a location.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latYes
lonYes
Behavior2/5

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

The annotations provide 'readOnlyHint: true', but the description adds no additional behavioral context such as data freshness, geographic scope, or alert types. The description carries minimal burden but still fails to inform 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.

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is extremely short (one phrase), which is under-specified rather than concise. It does not leverage the available space to provide helpful details.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given no output schema and only two parameters, the description should clarify what alerts are returned (e.g., active alerts, severity, source). The lack of such information makes the tool definition incomplete.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the lat/lon parameters or their expected format/range. The parameters are standard but still require clarification for correct invocation.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description states 'weather alerts for a location' which conveys the basic purpose, but it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'weather.current' and lacks specificity about what types of alerts are included.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'weather.current' or other alert sources. The description does not mention any context or prerequisites.

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

weather.currentC
Read-only
Inspect

Current weather conditions for a location.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
latYes
lonYes
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, so the description does not add much. It does not mention rate limits, data freshness, or error behavior. Not contradictory.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

One sentence is concise but at the expense of necessary detail. Could include more information without being verbose.

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

Completeness2/5

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

The tool is simple but the description omits what the output contains (e.g., temperature, humidity) and parameter constraints. For a commonly needed tool, this is insufficient.

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

Parameters1/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds no meaning to lat and lon beyond 'for a location'. It does not specify decimal degrees format, required ranges, or coordinate system.

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 (get current), resource (weather conditions), and scope (for a location). It distinguishes from sibling tools like weather.alerts and aqi.current.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., forecasts, historical data). The description does not mention exclusions or prerequisites.

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