palim_search

Read-onlyIdempotent

Search saved sessions and memories. Query matches session text or memory content/id. Supports metadata filtering via tags/project/status/tool_source. Omit query for tags-only or project-only session filtering. Project match is case-insensitive.

Input Schema

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavior beyond that: what gets searched, that query matches both session text and memory content/id, that metadata filtering is supported, and that project matching is case-insensitive. This gives the agent useful behavioral context without contradicting annotations.

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?

Three sentences with no filler. The main purpose is front-loaded, followed by matching semantics and practical usage guidance. Every sentence earns its place.

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 read-only search tool with zero required parameters, an output schema, and full schema description coverage, this description is complete. It covers the search domain, matching behavior, filter options, and special usage cases. The agent has everything needed to invoke it correctly.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value beyond the schema by explaining the query's matching scope, the relationship between query omission and tag/project filtering, and the case-insensitivity of project matching. This clarifies parameter combinations that the schema alone does not convey.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Search saved sessions and memories.' It further clarifies what is matched ('session text or memory content/id') and enumerates filter dimensions, making the tool's purpose unmistakable and distinct from the sibling tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives clear usage context: query for full-text search, omit query for tags-only or project-only filtering, and notes case-insensitive project matching. It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use this tool, but the intended invocation patterns are clear.

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