Scored across 3 tools
Each tool serves a distinct purpose: individual lookup, methodology explanation, and trending list. No overlap exists.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (check_, get_, get_).
With only 3 tools, the server is minimal but covers the core functionality for artist momentum queries and methodology explanation.
The tool set covers the main use cases (lookup, list, explain), though missing comparison or historical trend tools is a minor gap.
Available Tools
3 toolscheck_artist_momentumAInspect
Look up the current momentum score and signals for a specific artist by name. Returns the full three-dimensional score breakdown and notable signals driving their momentum.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| artist_name | Yes | Artist name to look up (e.g. 'Doechii', 'Kendrick Lamar', 'GloRilla') |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It indicates a read-like operation ('Look up') and describes the return content, but lacks details on data freshness, rate limits, error handling, or what happens if the artist name is not found.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no fluff, front-loaded with purpose. Could be slightly more structured, but efficient for the content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity (1 param, no output schema), the description adequately explains what is returned (score breakdown and signals). It does not specify exact return format but is sufficient for a basic lookup tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% for the single parameter 'artist_name', including examples. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool looks up momentum score and signals for a specific artist by name. It distinguishes from siblings: 'get_scoring_explainer' explains what scores mean, and 'get_trending_artists' returns a list, so this tool is for individual artist lookup.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for checking a specific artist's momentum, but does not explicitly state when to use this vs alternatives or provide any exclusions or guidance on prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_scoring_explainerAInspect
Returns a detailed explanation of LabelHead's three-dimensional artist scoring methodology. Use this when you need to understand how composite scores are calculated, what each dimension measures, and how to interpret momentum labels.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It states the tool returns a 'detailed explanation' but does not specify the format or structure of the output, which is somewhat vague 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no redundancy. Every word serves a purpose, and the main action is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given zero parameters and no output schema, the description perfectly covers what the tool does and when to use it. No gaps remain.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are no parameters, and schema description coverage is 100% (trivially). The description adds meaningful context about what the explanation covers (composite scores, dimensions, momentum labels), exceeding the baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns a detailed explanation of LabelHead's three-dimensional artist scoring methodology, specifying composite scores, dimensions, and momentum labels. This distinguishes it from siblings like check_artist_momentum and get_trending_artists.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says 'Use this when you need to understand...' providing clear context. However, it does not specify when not to use it or mention alternatives, which would strengthen the guidelines.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_trending_artistsAInspect
Returns the current list of trending hip-hop and rap artists ranked by LabelHead's composite momentum score. Each artist is scored across three dimensions: Acceleration (30-day streaming/social velocity), Cultural Gravity (press velocity, playlist adds, sync placements), and Longevity (catalog depth and retention). Use this to identify which artists are building genuine momentum right now.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Number of artists to return (max 10, default 10) | |
| min_composite | No | Minimum composite score filter (0–100) | |
| momentum_label | No | Filter by momentum label |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Explains scoring dimensions and that it returns a current list, implying a snapshot. Does not disclose idempotency, rate limits, or side effects, but as a read operation it is minimally adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences, no fluff. First sentence states the core purpose. Subsequent sentences add valuable context. Extremely concise and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list retrieval with 3 optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers purpose, scoring logic, and use case. Missing details about return value structure (e.g., fields included, sort order) but sufficient for agent selection.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented. Description does not add extra parameter context beyond schema. Baseline score of 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it returns a list of trending hip-hop/rap artists ranked by a composite momentum score. It distinguishes from sibling tools like check_artist_momentum and get_scoring_explainer by focusing on the list retrieval rather than individual checks or explanations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a clear use case ('identify which artists are building genuine momentum right now') but does not explicitly mention when not to use or suggest alternatives. It is sufficient for typical usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
