Tool Definition Quality
Average 2.9/5 across 23 of 23 tools scored. Lowest: 2.3/5.
Most tools have distinct purposes, such as get_backlinks for link retrieval vs. get_anchor_text for anchor distributions. However, batch_lookup and get_backlinks serve overlapping batch vs. single-domain queries, and get_referring_domains overlaps with get_backlinks in focus. Descriptions help differentiate but some confusion is possible.
The vast majority of tools follow a `get_` prefix with a descriptive noun (e.g., get_backlinks, get_anchor_text). Two exceptions—batch_lookup and check_credits—break the pattern by omitting 'get', but they are still verb_noun and readable. Overall, the naming is consistent and predictable.
23 tools is on the high side for an MCP server, and several are marked as 'v1 stub' (e.g., get_internal_links, get_link_velocity), indicating incomplete functionality. The count is borderline but still justifiable given the breadth of SEO analysis topics covered.
The tool set covers most core SEO domains: backlinks, domain authority, site audits, tech stack, sitemaps, and link intersection. Minor gaps exist, such as the absence of rank tracking or keyword analysis, and the stubs imply incomplete coverage. Still, the set is largely comprehensive for link analysis.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It fails to mention any constraints, authentication, rate limits, or error handling beyond the basic 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?
A single, front-loaded sentence with no waste; every word contributes to the core purpose.
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 lack of annotations and output schema, the description is too brief. It omits response structure, pagination, and error scenarios, leaving the agent underinformed for a batch operation.
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 0%, so the description must add meaning. It only says 'domains' without elaborating format, length limits, or URL requirements, leaving the agent with minimal guidance beyond the schema type.
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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'backlinks for up to 50 domains at once', distinguishing it from the sibling tool 'get_backlinks' which likely handles single domains.
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 batch domain queries, and the name 'batch_lookup' contrasts with singular 'get_backlinks', but does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
check_creditsAInspect
Check remaining credit balance
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It implies a read-only operation but does not disclose if calling this tool consumes credits or any other side effects. Minimal but accurate.
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?
Extremely concise, front-loaded single sentence that immediately conveys the tool's purpose without wasted words.
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 a likely simple numeric output, the description is sufficient. It could mention the output format (e.g., integer representing remaining credits) but is not necessary for a straightforward read.
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?
No parameters in input schema, so schema coverage is 100%. Description adds no parameter info but none is needed. Baseline 4 for zero-parameter tool.
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 uses specific verb 'check' and resource 'remaining credit balance', clearly indicating the tool's function. It is distinct from siblings like 'get_domain_authority' or 'batch_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?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Since it's a simple read operation, it could benefit from mentioning it's safe to call frequently or that it checks the account's credit balance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_anchor_textCInspect
Get anchor text distribution for a domain
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and description only states purpose. Missing behavioral traits such as data freshness, pagination, sorting, or whether the distribution is aggregated. The agent gets no insight into side effects or constraints.
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?
Single sentence is concise but too brief. Every word is necessary, but lacks structure like bullet points or clear sections. It is not the ideal balance of brevity and completeness.
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 lack of annotations, output schema, and detailed parameter info, description is incomplete. Agent cannot reliably understand output format or how to use limit parameter correctly.
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 has two parameters (domain, limit) with 0% description coverage. Description mentions only domain, not limit. Agent must infer limit's meaning from name alone. No added value beyond schema field names.
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 verb 'Get', resource 'anchor text distribution', and scope 'for a domain'. Among many sibling 'get_*' tools, this one is distinct in focus, but no explicit differentiation is made.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_backlinks or get_referring_domains. No prerequisites or context for usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_backlinksBInspect
Get backlinks for a domain. Default sort=importance returns aggregated referrer rows; sort=recent returns URL-level freshest links. Optional filters: from_domain, link_type, score.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| sort | No | ||
| limit | No | ||
| score | No | ||
| domain | Yes | ||
| link_type | No | ||
| from_domain | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does explain the difference between the two sort modes (aggregated vs. URL-level results), which is valuable. However, it omits other important behaviors like default limit, error handling, or data freshness, making it only partially transparent.
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?
The description is two sentences, front-loading the core purpose and sort behavior, followed by a concise list of optional filters. No unnecessary words; every sentence adds value.
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 tool has 6 parameters, no output schema, and annotations missing, the description provides essential info but lacks details on return structure, default limits, or behavior when parameters are omitted. It is adequate but not comprehensive.
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 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains the meaning of 'sort' values (importance vs recent) and lists filters (from_domain, link_type, score), adding semantic value beyond the schema. It misses explaining 'limit' and 'domain,' but the required param 'domain' is self-evident.
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 retrieves backlinks for a domain. It mentions two sort modes and optional filters, making the purpose specific. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like get_internal_links or get_outbound_links, so it loses the point for sibling differentiation.
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 explains the sort behavior and optional filters but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or mention of sibling tools, leaving the agent without clear context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and description only implies read-only behavior via 'Get'. No mention of rate limits, authentication, data freshness, or any side effects.
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?
Single, front-loaded sentence with no fluff. Could be slightly more informative while remaining concise.
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?
Adequate for a simple 1-parameter tool, but lacks return format details and usage context. With many siblings, more context would help.
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 coverage is 0%, but description adds that the parameter is a domain, providing basic context beyond the schema's 'type: string'. However, no format, example, or constraint details are given.
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 gets first/last seen dates and snapshot count for a domain, with specific source (Wayback Machine). This verb+resource definition distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_backlinks or get_domain_authority.

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain_a | Yes | ||
| domain_b | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits but fails to do so. It does not mention whether the operation is read-only, if authentication is required, rate limits, data freshness, or what happens when no results are found. The only information is the basic operation, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent.
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?
The description is a single sentence, achieving maximum brevity and front-loading the purpose. However, it is arguably too concise; adding a sentence about output or behavior would improve clarity without becoming verbose. It earns a 3 as it is efficient but under-informative.
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 tool's simplicity (two string params, no output schema, no annotations), the description omits essential context. It does not specify the return format (e.g., list of domain strings, count), pagination, or any constraints like maximum domains returned. An AI agent would struggle to infer these missing details from the minimal description.
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 0%, so the description must compensate for missing parameter details. It implies that 'domain_a' is the source set and 'domain_b' is subtracted, but does not explain format (e.g., with/without protocol), case sensitivity, or what constitutes a valid domain. The semantic of the subtraction is inferred but not explicitly detailed.
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 uses a specific verb 'Find' and clearly identifies the resource: 'domains linking to A but not B'. It precisely defines the operation as a set difference, which distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_referring_domains' or 'get_domain_overlap'. The purpose is unambiguous.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description does not mention prerequisites, constraints (e.g., data availability), or situations where this tool is appropriate or inappropriate. Sibling tools like 'batch_lookup' or 'get_domain_overlap' exist but are not referenced for comparison.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It mentions 'v1 stub', which implies incomplete or unstable behavior. However, it lacks disclosure of authentication needs, rate limits, or side effects. The stub status is useful but insufficient.
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?
The description is succinct but arguably too terse. It front-loads the core function, but the 'v1 stub' addition is necessary context. A bit more detail on return format or usage would improve it without sacrificing conciseness.
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 lack of output schema and annotations, the description provides minimal context. The 'stub' status explains limited functionality, but it does not cover return values, pagination, or error behaviors, leaving the agent underinformed.
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?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description only implies the domain parameter via context ('rate of new/lost links'). It does not explain expected format, constraints, or how the parameter is used, leaving ambiguity.
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 retrieves the rate of new/lost links over time, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_new_links and get_lost_links that provide raw link lists. The 'v1 stub' note indicates it's an initial implementation, but the purpose is specific and understandable.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, limitations, or scenarios where other tools (e.g., get_new_links) would be more appropriate.

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 no output schema and no annotations, the description is too brief to fully inform an agent about inputs, outputs, or behavior. The tool's purpose is clear but operational details are missing, especially for distinguishing from sibling link tools.
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 coverage is 0% and the description does not describe the 'domain' parameter or any other param. The description fails to add meaning beyond the schema for the single required parameter.
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 retrieves 'links lost since previous crawl', specifying the verb 'get' and the resource 'links lost'. This distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_new_links' which retrieves new links.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_new_links' or 'get_backlinks'. The description implies a specific temporal context but does not clarify prerequisites or exclusions.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits like whether the operation is read-only, requires permissions, or what happens if no previous crawl data exists. The 'stub' label suggests incomplete implementation.
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?
The description is very short, which is acceptable for a simple tool, but the inclusion of '(v1 stub)' suggests it is underdeveloped. The sentence front-loads the action but lacks structure.
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 single parameter and no output schema, the description should at least hint at the return format or scope. It does not, leaving the agent without enough context for confident invocation.
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?
The only parameter, 'domain', has zero schema description coverage and is not explained in the description. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, leaving the agent to infer intent.
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 'Get links gained since previous crawl' clearly states the verb and resource, differentiating it from siblings like get_backlinks (all backlinks) and get_lost_links (lost links). However, the '(v1 stub)' qualifier introduces uncertainty about functionality completeness.
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?

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It only states the purpose, failing to mention aspects like result format, pagination, data freshness, or rate limits.
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?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no superfluous words. However, for a tool with two parameters and no output schema, slightly more detail would be warranted.
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 no output schema and zero parameter documentation, the description is insufficient. It lacks details on return structure, pagination, or constraints, leaving the agent underinformed.
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 0%, and the description adds no meaning for parameters. 'domain' and 'limit' are unexplained, leaving the agent without clues beyond the schema.
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 retrieves domains that a domain links out to, specifying the verb 'Get' and the resource. It distinguishes from siblings like get_backlinks (incoming links) and get_internal_links (internal outbound). However, it could be more precise (e.g., 'external domains').
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_backlinks or get_referring_domains. The description does not provide context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_page_seoCInspect
Full real-time SEO audit for a URL — title/description with length checks, canonical, robots meta, OG tags, Twitter cards, JSON-LD, hreflang, headings, images missing alt, link counts, word count
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It mentions 'real-time' but does not clarify side effects, rate limits, authentication needs, or whether changes can result from the audit. The tool is likely read-only, but this is not stated.
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?
The description is a single sentence that packs many items, which is somewhat cluttered. While it lists checks comprehensively, it could be more structured (e.g., bullet points) and front-load the key action.
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 lack of output schema and minimal annotations, the description fails to explain what the tool returns (e.g., structured data, scores, or raw results). It covers input but not output expectations, leaving the agent uncertain about the response format.
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?
The sole parameter 'url' has no description in the schema (0% coverage) and the tool description only implies its role without specifying format, restrictions, or validation rules.
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 identifies the tool as performing a 'full real-time SEO audit' and enumerates specific checks (title, description, canonical, etc.), making it distinct from sibling tools that focus on individual aspects like schema markup or backlinks.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., get_schema_markup for JSON-LD). The description lacks context on prerequisites, limitations, or recommended scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_referring_domainsCInspect
Get unique domains linking to a domain
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| score | No | ||
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond the basic function. It omits details such as pagination, rate limits, data freshness, or whether results are limited to top domains.
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?
The description is a single, front-loaded phrase with no redundant words. It is optimally concise.
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 three parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description is far from complete. It does not cover parameter behavior, return format, or edge cases.
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 0%, and the description does not explain any parameters (domain, limit, score). It adds no meaning beyond the schema's property names.
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 'Get unique domains linking to a domain' uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('unique domains') and clearly distinguishes from siblings like get_backlinks (which likely returns all links) and get_domain_overlap.
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?
No guidance on when to use this vs. alternatives. Siblings like get_backlinks or get_link_velocity could serve similar purposes, but the description offers no comparative usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_schema_markupCInspect
Get schema.org markup for a URL (v1 stub)
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It only mentions 'v1 stub', implying incompleteness, but does not disclose error handling, data freshness, rate limits, or any side effects. Minimal transparency.
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?
The description is very short, which is acceptable, but it omits crucial details. It is front-loaded with the purpose, but the brevity sacrifices completeness.
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 that there is no output schema and no annotations, the description must provide more context. It fails to explain the output format, error conditions, or any usage constraints, leaving the agent underinformed.
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?
The input schema has 0% description coverage for the 'url' parameter. The description simply says 'for a URL' without adding format constraints, allowed schemes, or behavioral implications (e.g., what happens if URL is invalid).
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 identifies the action (get) and resource (schema.org markup for a URL). The '(v1 stub)' suffix indicates a provisional state, but the core purpose is unambiguous. Among sibling tools, it is distinct.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No context about prerequisites, limitations, or comparison to siblings like get_page_seo or get_site_explorer.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_similar_domainsBInspect
Find domains with similar link profiles. May return partial results when the query fan-out hits time budget.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses a key behavioral trait: 'May return partial results when the query fan-out hits time budget.' With no annotations, this is the only transparency provided. It is useful but lacks other details like read-only nature or potential side effects.
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, each adding unique information: purpose and behavioral quirk. No redundant phrasing, front-loaded, and efficient.
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 tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and a key caveat. However, it does not define what 'similar link profiles' means, what the output looks like, or any prerequisites, leaving gaps for an AI agent.
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?
The schema has a single parameter 'domain' with 0% description coverage. The description provides no explanation of this parameter, leaving its meaning and format entirely to the schema. This fails to add value beyond structured data.
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 finds domains with similar link profiles. This is a specific verb-resource combination that distinguishes it from siblings like get_referring_domains or get_domain_overlap, which focus on different aspects.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The only usage-related hint is about partial results under time budgets, but it does not provide selection criteria or when not to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_site_explorerBInspect
Full SEO overview for a domain (backlinks, authority, top pages, anchor text)
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description alone must convey behavioral traits. It only lists components but does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, any rate limits, data freshness, or scope of the request. An agent would lack context on side effects or constraints.
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?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence of 10 words that efficiently communicates the core purpose. No extraneous information.
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 tool's many siblings and the absence of an output schema, the description does not specify return format, whether it is a summary or detailed report, or how it integrates with other tools. An agent would need more context to anticipate the output.
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?
The sole parameter 'domain' has 0% schema description coverage. The description adds no additional meaning, format, or example beyond the parameter name itself, despite the need to compensate for the lack of schema guidance.
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 retrieves a full SEO overview including backlinks, authority, top pages, and anchor text. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools that focus on individual aspects (e.g., get_backlinks, get_domain_authority).
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 use when a comprehensive SEO overview is needed, but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor does it mention relevant alternatives among the many sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_site_healthAInspect
Real-time site health check — HTTPS enforcement, HSTS, www redirect behavior, key URL availability and response times, security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS), robots.txt analysis
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Lists what checks are performed but lacks disclosure on side effects, rate limits, or error handling; adequate but not exhaustive.
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?
Single sentence that front-loads purpose and lists specifics efficiently, though slightly verbose with many checks; no redundancy.
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 single-parameter tool with no output schema, the description lists what is checked but does not explain result format or behavior for invalid domains, leaving gaps for invocation.
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 coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It mentions 'domain' implicitly but adds no format, example, or constraint beyond the schema's type string.
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 'Real-time site health check' and enumerates specific checks (HTTPS, HSTS, redirect, etc.), distinguishing it from sibling tools that target individual aspects.
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?
Implied usage for overall health assessment among many specific sibling tools, but no explicit guidance on when to use or when to avoid, nor mention of alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_sitemapBInspect
Discover and parse a domain's sitemap — returns URLs with lastmod, changefreq, and priority
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It indicates this is a non-destructive read operation that retrieves sitemap data, but lacks details on error handling, caching, or required permissions. Adequate but limited.
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?
Single sentence front-loads the primary action and output, with no redundant information. Every word serves a purpose.
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 no output schema and 2 parameters, the description is adequate but could be more complete. It specifies return fields but not structure or behavior when sitemap is missing, making it moderately helpful.
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 coverage is 0%, and the description only implies the 'domain' parameter but does not explain 'limit'. Without parameter descriptions, the AI agent has insufficient guidance for correct invocation.
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?
Clearly states the action 'discover and parse' and the resource 'domain's sitemap', and specifies the return fields (URLs with lastmod, changefreq, priority). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_backlinks or get_page_seo.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The sibling list includes many other get_* tools, but the description does not provide context for selection or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_tech_stackBInspect
Real-time technology detection for a domain — frameworks, CMS, analytics, CDN, hosting, e-commerce, payments, and more (50+ technologies)
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Describes 'real-time' detection but lacks details on side effects, authorization, rate limits, or error behavior. No annotations provided, so description carries full burden but falls short.
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?
Single sentence efficiently conveys purpose and scope, listing many technology types. Could be more structured (e.g., bullet points), but still 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?
Provides essential purpose and scope but lacks output format details, error handling, and usage constraints. Given no annotations or output schema, more detail on what the agent can expect would improve completeness.
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?
Only one parameter 'domain' with no additional description. The tool description does not clarify expected format (e.g., with/without protocol, subdomain inclusion), failing to compensate for 0% schema coverage.
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?
Clearly states the tool detects technologies for a domain, listing specific categories (frameworks, CMS, etc.) and claims 50+ technologies. Differentiates from siblings focusing on links, SEO, and site health.
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?
Implicitly suggests use for technology profiling, but no explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives like get_page_seo or get_site_explorer, nor when not to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_top_pagesCInspect
Get most-linked pages for a domain
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | ||
| domain | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for disclosing behavioral traits. It states 'get' which implies a read operation, but does not disclose any potential side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or data freshness. The description adds no behavioral context beyond the tool name.
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?
The description is extremely short (one sentence), which can be seen as concise, but it omits essential information. It is not well-structured because it fails to front-load key details about parameters or behavior. While brevity is valued, here it sacrifices completeness.
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 lack of annotations, no output schema, and two parameters with 0% schema description coverage, the description is severely incomplete. It does not specify the return format, the meaning of 'most-linked', or the effect of the optional limit parameter. For a tool with many siblings, this provides insufficient context for correct selection and invocation.
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 0%, meaning the schema provides no descriptions for the two parameters (domain, limit). The tool description also does not explain what these parameters mean, their format, or expected values. For example, 'limit' could be a number but its purpose (e.g., max pages to return) is left ambiguous. This is a critical gap.
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 'Get most-linked pages for a domain' clearly states the verb (get) and resource (pages) with a specific scoping criterion (most-linked for a domain). However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like get_backlinks or get_link_velocity, which could overlap in functionality.
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?
No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_backlinks or get_link_intersect, nor does it mention any prerequisites or context where this tool is preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
