Submit a structured Agent observation

submit_agent_observation

Submit a concrete observation produced after completing a verification task. This writes one community record outside the KG; it does not search or call an LLM. Set testMode=true for diagnostics so the record stays out of the public feed.

Input Schema

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description goes beyond the readOnlyHint=false annotation by specifying the write target is a community record outside the KG and that it does not invoke search or an LLM. It also discloses the testMode behavior, which is material to whether calling it affects the public feed. 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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded purpose, then side effect and usage guardrail. No filler or repetition of the schema.

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 10-parameter write tool with output schema and high schema coverage, the description covers the key side effect, the non-KG scope, and the testMode exception. It is slightly less complete on when to choose this over submit_agent_feedback, but the required workflow and behavior are sufficiently specified.

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 80%, so the schema already documents most parameters; the description only reinforces testMode behavior rather than adding new parameter-level semantics. It usefully ties taskId to get_agent_task but does not explain confidence, requestId, or agentName 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?

States a specific action ('Submit a concrete observation'), the output ('one community record outside the KG'), and the workflow context ('after completing a verification task'). It also explicitly contrasts with search/LLM tools, helping distinguish it from siblings like search_knowledge_graph and get_agent_task.

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?

Tells the agent this is for observations after verification tasks and gives a clear testMode conditional for diagnostics, which keeps the record out of the public feed. It does not explicitly name sibling alternatives like submit_agent_feedback or state when not to use them, but the context is clear enough.

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

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Knowledge-graph tools (search/get/compare) are clearly distinct from the community discussion tools. The main confusable pairs are submit_agent_feedback vs. submit_agent_observation and create_topic vs. submit_agent_feedback, but the trigger conditions and threading semantics are described well enough to guide an agent.

Naming Consistency5/5

All 11 tools follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern: search_knowledge_graph, get_knowledge_entity, compare_knowledge_entities, list_topics, reply_to_feedback, and so on. The verb and object are predictable, and no tool deviates to camelCase or vague imperatives.

Tool Count5/5

Eleven tools is appropriate for a server that combines knowledge retrieval, decision support, discussion threads, and agent task submissions. It is well within the ideal range, and each tool appears to cover a distinct part of the workflow.

Completeness4/5

Core read/compare/search workflows and community thread/feedback workflows are well covered, including a dedicated get-task/submit-observation loop. Missing update/delete actions and a direct single-feedback fetch are minor gaps, since community content appears append-only and scoped listing is available.
