Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses the output content (descriptions, normalization details, score ranges, and when to use each) and explicitly notes 'No parameters', indicating a safe, read-only 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?
The single sentence is front-loaded with the verb 'List' and the resource, and it efficiently packs the key information about the methods and output without waste.
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?
The tool is simple with no parameters or output schema; the description covers the purpose and the content of the listing comprehensively, though it doesn't specify the exact return 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?
There are zero parameters, and the description explicitly states 'No parameters', which is sufficient. Baseline 4 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?
The description clearly states the tool lists available scoring methods and explicitly enumerates them (weighted_sum, weighted_product, topsis), distinguishing it from sibling tools like score_options that apply methods.
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 when needing to understand scoring methods, but lacks explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over siblings like score_options or compare_two.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: compare_two is specifically for two-option head-to-head, create_decision is the main ranking tool with explanation, score_options returns the scored matrix without narrative, and sensitivity_analysis tests weight robustness. Health check and list_methods serve auxiliary but separate roles. No two tools are likely to be confused.
Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (create_decision, list_methods, score_options, compare_two), but sensitivity_analysis is a noun phrase without a verb, and compare_two uses a number instead of a noun. The snake_case style is consistent throughout, making the set readable overall.
With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for its decision-analysis purpose. Each tool covers a distinct aspect of the workflow: creation, pairwise comparison, scoring, sensitivity analysis, and method discovery. The count feels neither sparse nor bloated.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage of multi-criteria decision making: creating a full decision, comparing exactly two options, scoring without the narrative, and testing robustness. Including list_methods for methodology details and health_check for server status rounds out the surface. No significant gaps are apparent for the stated domain.
