Generate llms.txt

generate_llms_txt
Read-onlyIdempotent

Generate a production-ready llms.txt file for any URL so AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) can index the site cleanly. Fetches the page, extracts title/description/key links, and emits the standard llms.txt markdown format. Output is a single text blob ready to drop at site-root/llms.txt. Useful for: getting a client's site indexed by AI, drafting llms.txt for your own project, or auditing how an AI crawler would see a competitor.

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description reveals the operational flow—fetching the page, extracting key elements, and emitting standard llms.txt markdown—which supplements the annotations. It also clarifies that the output is a text blob for site-root placement, adding practical context beyond the read-only/idempotent hints.

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 cover purpose, process, output, and use cases with no redundancy. Each sentence adds distinct value, and the front-loaded first sentence immediately communicates the core function.

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?

The description covers what the tool does, how it works, what it returns, and when to use it, which is sufficient for a two-parameter tool with good annotations. It lacks edge-case discussion (e.g., invalid URLs) but does not need to given the straightforward nature and schema coverage.

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%, with both `url` and `max_links` described in the input schema. The description adds minimal new parameter information; it only reinforces that the tool works 'for any URL' without detailing `max_links` semantics beyond the schema. Baseline of 3 applies.

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's function—generating a production-ready llms.txt file—and specifies the input (any URL) and the output format. It also distinguishes it from sibling tools by emphasizing the generation of the llms.txt standard, whereas siblings like scan_competitor_ai_presence likely focus on broader AI visibility analysis.

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 'Useful for:' section enumerates three concrete scenarios (client indexing, personal project, competitor audit), giving agents clear context for when to invoke the tool. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions, so it stops short of full comparative guidance.

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