A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The description mentions 'Read-only', which is a key behavioral trait. However, without annotations, it does not disclose error handling or auth requirements.

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-load the purpose and behavior, with 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?

Given the simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose and read-only nature, though it could mention error behavior.

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?

The schema already describes the 'id' parameter. The description adds no extra meaning beyond confirming it is used for fetching.

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 'fetch', the resource 'one entity', and the method 'by its id', distinguishing it from sibling tools like kb_list and kb_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 usage when you have a specific id, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or provide alternatives like kb_search for fuzzy queries.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a distinct purpose: building checklists, classifying threats, mapping compliance, fetching by ID, listing entities, mapping framework IDs, traversing relationships, and semantic search. There is no overlap or ambiguity.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools use the 'kb_' prefix followed by a descriptive word, but the pattern varies: some are verbs (classify, get, list, search), one is a noun (checklist), and one is an adjective (related). Mostly consistent but with minor deviations.

Tool Count5/5

8 tools is an appropriate number for a read-only knowledge base, covering the essential retrieval, search, and mapping operations without being excessive.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers all necessary read operations for a security knowledge base: search, classification, compliance mapping, entity retrieval, listing, relationship traversal, and checklist generation. No obvious gaps given the read-only scope.
