Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that the tool is scoped to the user's identifier and pairs with 'remember' and 'forget'. This provides useful behavioral context beyond annotations, though the safety profile is already clear from annotations.

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?

The description is three sentences and front-loads the main purpose. It is concise but could be slightly tighter (e.g., the second and third sentences could be merged). Every sentence adds value, making it efficient.

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?

Given the simple schema, no output schema, and annotations fully covering safety, the description provides complete context: retrieval behavior, listing mode, scoping, and pairing with sibling tools. No additional information is needed for an AI agent to select and use this tool 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?

The input schema covers the single parameter with 100% coverage. The description adds semantic value by explaining the effect of omitting the 'key' argument (lists all keys) and clarifies its purpose in the context of memory storage. This goes beyond the schema's basic description.

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 tool retrieves a value saved via 'remember' and can list all keys when the key argument is omitted. The verb 'retrieve' and 'list' specify the action, and the resource is 'memories'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools 'remember' and 'forget'.

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 explains when to use the tool ('to look up context... without re-deriving it') and hints at when not to use by omission (e.g., not for saving or deleting). It also explains both modes (retrieve by key or list all keys). However, it does not explicitly state alternatives for retrieving context beyond this tool.

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

A4.1/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

Several tools occupy adjacent territory: ask_pipeworx, ask_pipeworx_beta, and ask_pipeworx_grounded share the same router, ask_pipeworx_beta is currently an exact duplicate, and there are multiple polymarket-related tools. The descriptions are unusually explicit and cross-reference when to use which, which keeps this from scoring lower.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tool names use lowercase snake_case and group into recognizable families (boston_*, pipeworx_*, polymarket_*), giving the set a consistent feel. However, the set mixes verb_noun names, bare verbs like remember/forget, and adjective_noun phrases like recent_changes, so it is not a strict verb_noun pattern throughout.

Tool Count2/5

At 34 tools this exceeds the 25+ threshold and feels bloated for a server with the narrow name "Data Boston"—only three tools directly concern Boston data, while the rest cover general research, prediction markets, subscription management, memory, AI visibility, and npm auditing. Most tools have a purpose, but the overall surface is not well-scoped.

Completeness4/5

For the broad data-access purpose, coverage is strong: routing, grounded verification, entity profiles, comparisons, change tracking, entity resolution, discovery, monitoring, memory, and Boston datasets are all represented. Minor gaps exist, such as no subscription update operation, no explicit fetch-by-citation tool, and limited boston_recent coverage, but agents can work around them.
