Kickserv MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Create estimate in Kickserv

kickserv_create_estimate
Read-onlyIdempotent

Create estimate in the user's own Kickserv account from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent. Returns how to do it in Kickserv step by step (screens, buttons, fields) and opens nothing by itself; then do it with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's Kickserv Cloud Browser. Kickserv's official API: Kickserv has an XML API, but only on premium plans (checked 11 Oct 2026).

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the non-mutating profile is covered; the description usefully confirms this in plain language ('opens nothing by itself'). It also adds external context about the Kickserv XML API being premium-only, which explains why a browser-driven path exists. What it omits is any disclosure of the response shape — whether the procedure comes back as text, structured steps, or includes a prepared payload to paste into the browser form.

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 operative behavior and the follow-up call are front-loaded in the first two sentences, which is the right ordering. The trailing sentence on Kickserv's XML API and premium plans is contextual justification rather than instruction and could be trimmed, but it is short and explains why browser automation is required.

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

Completeness3/5

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

With no output schema and no parameters, the description carries the burden of explaining what comes back, and it only gestures at it ('step by step (screens, buttons, fields)'). An agent knows the sequence to follow but not the concrete return format, whether the steps include the estimate data to enter, or how granular the guidance will be. For a zero-input guidance tool that is a meaningful but not fatal gap.

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 tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline is 4 and there is no parameter surface for the description to compensate for. Nothing in the description contradicts the empty 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 states a specific verb+resource (create an estimate in Kickserv) and immediately resolves the ambiguity of the misleading 'create' name by explaining that the tool returns a step-by-step procedure rather than performing the write. It distinguishes itself from the cotlet_browser_* siblings by naming them as the execution path, though the opening clause 'Create estimate ... from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent' momentarily reads as if this tool itself performs the creation.

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?

It explicitly routes usage: call this first to get the clicks-and-fields procedure, then execute it with cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's Kickserv Cloud Browser. It states what the tool does not do ('opens nothing by itself'), which implies the when-not boundary, but it never says when to skip this and act directly, nor does it set prerequisites for the browser session.

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