Tool DescriptionsB

Average 3/5 across 4 of 4 tools scored.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tools have unclear boundaries and overlapping purposes. 'math_fact' and 'number_fact' both provide facts about numbers, with 'math_fact' potentially being a subset of 'number_fact', while 'date_fact' is distinct but 'random_fact' could overlap with 'number_fact' in content. This ambiguity makes it difficult for an agent to reliably choose the right tool.

Naming Consistency5/5

Tool names follow a consistent pattern throughout, using a clear noun_verb structure (e.g., date_fact, math_fact). All names are in snake_case and start with a noun describing the fact type, making them predictable and easy to understand.

Tool Count4/5

With 4 tools, the count is reasonable for a simple fact-retrieval API, though it feels slightly thin given the potential for more varied fact types. Each tool has a distinct role in the domain, but the scope could be expanded without becoming overwhelming.

Completeness3/5

The toolset covers basic fact retrieval for dates, numbers, and random numbers, but there are notable gaps. For example, there is no tool for facts about ranges of numbers, historical events, or other trivia categories, which limits the server's utility for broader agent tasks.

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states what the tool does ('Get an interesting fact') without mentioning any behavioral traits like rate limits, error handling, or what happens with invalid dates (e.g., February 30). This leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves beyond its basic function.

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, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without any wasted words. It is front-loaded and appropriately sized for a simple tool, making it easy to parse and understand quickly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (2 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimal but adequate for basic understanding. However, it lacks completeness in areas like behavioral context (e.g., error cases, fact sources) and usage guidelines, which could help an agent use it more effectively in varied scenarios.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with clear descriptions for both parameters ('day' and 'month'), so the schema does the heavy lifting. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying that these parameters specify the date for the fact, which aligns with the schema. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('interesting fact about a specific calendar date'), making it easy to understand what the tool does. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'math_fact' or 'number_fact' beyond the calendar date focus, which prevents a perfect score.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'random_fact' or other sibling tools. It lacks context about scenarios where this tool is preferred, such as for date-specific queries rather than general random facts, leaving the agent with minimal usage direction.

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

math_factBInspect

Get a mathematical fact about a specific number.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
numberYesThe number to get a mathematical fact about (e.g., 1729)
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool 'Get[s] a mathematical fact' but does not describe any behavioral traits such as rate limits, error handling, or what constitutes a 'mathematical fact' (e.g., trivia, properties). This leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves.

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, clear sentence that is front-loaded and wastes no words. It efficiently conveys the core purpose without unnecessary details, making it highly concise and well-structured.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's low complexity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is somewhat complete but lacks depth. It covers the basic purpose but does not address behavioral aspects or usage context, which are important for an agent to use it effectively. This results in an adequate but minimal description.

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?

The description adds minimal meaning beyond the input schema, which has 100% coverage and fully documents the 'number' parameter. The description mentions 'a specific number' and provides an example (1729), but this does not significantly enhance the schema's information. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 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 the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('mathematical fact about a specific number'), making it easy to understand what the tool does. However, it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from its siblings (date_fact, number_fact, random_fact), which all seem to provide different types of facts, so it misses full differentiation.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus its siblings (date_fact, number_fact, random_fact). It implies usage for mathematical facts about numbers but does not specify alternatives, exclusions, or context for selection among similar tools.

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

number_factCInspect

Get an interesting trivia fact about a specific number.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
numberYesThe number to get a fact about (e.g., 42)
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure but only states what the tool does, not how it behaves. It doesn't mention whether this is a read-only operation, what kind of API it calls, potential rate limits, error conditions, or what format the fact will be returned in. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the basic function.

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 perfectly concise - a single sentence that clearly communicates the tool's purpose with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the essential information and earns its place efficiently.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't describe what format the fact will be returned in, potential limitations (e.g., number ranges supported), error conditions, or how this differs from sibling tools. The description leaves too many contextual questions unanswered.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'number' clearly documented in the schema. The description doesn't add any additional parameter semantics beyond what's already in the schema, so it meets the baseline score of 3 for adequate coverage when the schema does the heavy lifting.

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 the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('interesting trivia fact about a specific number'), making it immediately understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this tool from its sibling tools (date_fact, math_fact, random_fact), which all seem to provide different types of facts.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus its sibling tools. While it's clear this tool provides number facts, there's no indication of when to choose number_fact over math_fact or random_fact, nor any mention of prerequisites or constraints for usage.

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

random_factBInspect

Get a trivia fact about a randomly chosen number.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool returns a trivia fact, but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as rate limits, error handling, or what 'randomly chosen' entails (e.g., range, distribution). For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its operation.

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, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action ('Get a trivia fact') and specifies the scope ('about a randomly chosen number'). There is zero waste, and it's appropriately sized for a simple tool with no parameters.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's low complexity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is complete enough to convey the basic purpose. However, it lacks details on output format (e.g., structure of the fact) and behavioral context, which could be important for an agent to use it effectively, though not critical for such a simple tool.

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 tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description doesn't add param info, but with no parameters, the baseline is 4 as it adequately addresses the lack of inputs by implying randomness without requiring user input.

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 the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('trivia fact about a randomly chosen number'). It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'date_fact', 'math_fact', and 'number_fact' by specifying 'randomly chosen number' rather than requiring input, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with 'number_fact' which might also handle numbers.

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 alternatives. The description implies usage for random number trivia but doesn't mention when to choose it over siblings like 'number_fact' (which might require a specific number) or other fact tools. There's no explicit context or exclusions stated.

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