FoundRole — AI Job Search & Application Tracker MCP for Claude & ChatGPT

List career guide topics

knowledge_topics
Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists what FoundRole's published career-guidance blog covers: every category and the most-used tags, each with its published-article count and url, plus the total number of published articles. This is the factual source for questions about the blog's topics or overall coverage. It takes no parameters and reflects the live published corpus. It does not retrieve articles for a specific question; knowledge_search does that.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive/closed-world, so the safety profile is covered. The description still adds value beyond them: no parameters, reflects the live published corpus, and summarizes the returned shape (counts, urls, totals). It doesn't discuss pagination or limits, but with zero params and an output schema those gaps are minor.

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?

Front-loaded with the resource and scope, then the exclusion and sibling routing. Sentences are long but each carries distinct information — the only mild cost is that the payoff ('what it covers') arrives after a fairly dense clause.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a zero-param read-only listing tool with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the description supplies everything an agent needs: what it returns, that it's live, and which sibling to use for article retrieval.

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?

Zero parameters, so the baseline is 4; the description correctly reinforces 'It takes no parameters,' removing any doubt that filtering is available. Nothing further is needed.

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 verb and resource ('lists what FoundRole's published career-guidance blog covers: every category and the most-used tags') and names the distinguishing scope — categories/tags plus counts, not articles. An agent can immediately tell it apart from knowledge_search.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says it is 'the factual source for questions about the blog's topics or overall coverage' and names the exclusion plus the alternative: 'It does not retrieve articles for a specific question; knowledge_search does that.' That is the full when/when-not/alternative triad.

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