Ms Code Chapters

ms_code_chapters
Read-onlyIdempotent

List the chapters within a title of the Mississippi Code of 1972, by title number ("97" is Crimes, "89" is Real and Personal Property, "27" is Taxation and Finance). Use this to browse a title when you do not have an exact section citation. Returns every chapter heading and number; call ms_code_section once you have a citation, or ms_code_search to find one by topic. Keyless.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered; the description still adds two useful non-schema facts: the response shape ('Returns every chapter heading and number') and 'Keyless' (no authentication required). It does not mention pagination, result limits, or behavior on an invalid/out-of-range title number, which keeps it below a 5.

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 front-loaded paragraph that leads with the action and scope, then usage guidance, then alternatives, then the auth note. Every clause carries distinct information; nothing is restated.

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 one-parameter, read-only listing tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, selection criteria, return contents, and auth status — enough for correct invocation. Only edge cases (invalid title, empty result, truncation) are unaddressed, a minor gap given the tool's simplicity.

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 single parameter already carries a description with the same examples ('97 (Crimes)', '89 (Real and Personal Property)') plus the odd-number 1-99 constraint. The description's title examples largely duplicate the schema, so it adds little parameter meaning beyond what structured fields provide — baseline 3.

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 ('List the chapters within a title of the Mississippi Code of 1972') and adds concrete domain anchors ('97' is Crimes, '89' is Real and Personal Property). This is clearly distinguishable from ms_code_section (fetch a cited section) and ms_code_search (topic search) without opening any schema.

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 names the situation that selects this tool ('Use this to browse a title when you do not have an exact section citation') and routes the agent onward to the two alternatives with their trigger conditions ('call ms_code_section once you have a citation, or ms_code_search to find one by topic'). Both when-to-use and when-to-use-something-else are present.

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