Tool DescriptionsA

Average 3.6/5 across 2 of 2 tools scored.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation4/5

The two tools have distinct purposes: scan_mcp_server returns raw scan data, while create_scorecard returns a formatted scorecard with a URL and image. They are related but not ambiguous, though an agent might mistakenly think create_scorecard performs the scan internally.

Naming Consistency5/5

Both tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: 'create_scorecard' and 'scan_mcp_server'. The naming is clear and predictable.

Tool Count3/5

With only 2 tools, the server feels sparse but may be acceptable for a focused service. A broader set like listing or deleting scorecards could be expected, but the count is not extreme.

Completeness2/5

The server lacks tools for retrieving, updating, or deleting scorecards or scans. After creating a scorecard, there is no way to access it later without re-running, which is a significant gap.

Available Tools

2 tools
create_scorecardCreate MCP scorecardBInspect

Scan a remote MCP server and return a shareable scorecard: security score (0-100), letter grade, a public scorecard page URL, and an Open Graph image URL for embedding or social sharing.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesThe MCP server endpoint to score, e.g. https://example.com/mcp
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It does not disclose whether the tool modifies the server, requires authentication, has rate limits, or any side effects. The use of 'scan' suggests read-only, but 'create' in the name implies record creation, creating ambiguity.

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?

The description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and return values. Every part earns its place, with no fluff.

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 simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the main purpose and return fields. It could mention error handling or output format, but it is largely sufficient.

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 coverage is 100%, and the schema already describes the URL parameter well. The description adds a minor clarification ('MCP server endpoint to score') but does not provide additional meaning beyond what the schema offers. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it scans a remote MCP server and returns a shareable scorecard with specific fields (security score, letter grade, URLs). The verb 'scan' and resource 'remote MCP server' are specific. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling tool 'scan_mcp_server', which might also scan but return different data.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 the sibling 'scan_mcp_server'. The description does not mention any prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage from the tool name alone.

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

scan_mcp_serverScan MCP serverAInspect

Run a full MCPCheckup scan against a remote MCP server: handshake, protocol version, tool/resource/prompt inventory, security heuristics, network/TLS posture, and license info.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesThe MCP server endpoint to scan, e.g. https://example.com/mcp
Behavior4/5

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

Discloses all major activities of the scan (handshake, inventory, security heuristics) without causing ambiguity. No annotations contradict description, but it does not mention network requirements 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.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single, well-structured sentence with front-loaded action verb. No redundant or unnecessary information.

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 single parameter, no output schema, and sibling tool, description sufficiently explains what the tool does and what it covers. Lacks explicit mention of return format but still adequate.

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 covers 100% of parameters with description for 'url'. The description adds minor context ('remote MCP server' vs 'endpoint'), but does not significantly expand on the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Clearly states verb 'Run a full MCPCheckup scan' and resource 'remote MCP server', listing specific components (handshake, protocol version, etc.). Distinguishes from sibling tool 'create_scorecard' by focusing on scanning rather than scorecard creation.

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?

Implied usage for scanning an MCP server, but no explicit guidance on when to use versus create_scorecard or alternatives. No exclusions or prerequisites provided.

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