Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.7/5 across 34 of 34 tools scored. Lowest: 2.4/5.
Most tools have clear distinct purposes, but the large number (34) may cause some confusion between similar actions like confirm_note, dispute_note, review_note, though descriptions help differentiate. Overall, ambiguity is low.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case, e.g., create_folder, delete_note, search_notes. The naming is predictable and easy to parse.
34 tools is on the higher side, but the server covers a broad domain including notes, capsules, folders, reviews, publication, debugging, and user info. Each tool seems justified, though some debugging tools could be merged.
The tool set covers nearly all lifecycle operations for notes, capsules, folders, and images, plus search, publication workflow, reviews, and metadata management. There are no obvious gaps for the intended knowledge management purpose.
Available Tools
35 toolsappend_note_sectionAppend OpenAkashic Note SectionAInspect
Append a new H2 section to an existing OpenAkashic markdown note.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | Yes | Full path of the existing note. Example: 'personal_vault/projects/my-project/note.md' | |
| content | Yes | Markdown content to append under the heading. | |
| heading | Yes | Section heading text (without ##). Example: 'Results' → appended as '## Results' |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided. The description only indicates an append operation, but omits details on whether duplicate headings create duplicate sections, error handling (e.g., missing note), or any side effects beyond modification of the file.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, front-loaded sentence that directly conveys the tool's purpose without extra words. Every element contributes to understanding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple append operation, the description is adequate. However, it could mention what happens if the note doesn't exist or if the heading already exists. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to detail return values.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with all parameters described. The description reinforces that the heading becomes a '##' section but does not add significant new meaning beyond the schema examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (append), the target (existing OpenAkashic markdown note), and the specific format (new H2 section). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'upsert_note' or 'move_note'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use for adding H2 sections to existing notes but does not explicitly specify when to use this versus alternatives (e.g., upsert_note for full note updates) or provide exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
bootstrap_projectBootstrap OpenAkashic ProjectCInspect

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It says 'create or verify' but does not explain consequences like idempotency, side effects, or required permissions. The agent cannot determine if verification changes existing state or what happens on conflicts.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the key action. However, it could be expanded slightly to cover essential details without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 10 parameters, no schema descriptions, no annotations, and an output schema that is not referenced, the description is far from complete. It fails to explain return values, parameter roles, or behavioral nuances required for safe and correct usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 10 parameters with 0% description coverage, and the description does not elaborate on any of them. The vague mention of 'optional agent-defined subfolders' hints at one parameter but provides no concrete semantics for the remaining parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('create or verify') and the resource ('project workspace'), and mentions key components ('README index' and 'optional subfolders'). However, it does not strongly differentiate from sibling tools like 'create_folder' or other project-related actions, leaving some ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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. There is no mention of prerequisites, conditions, or comparisons to sibling tools, leaving the agent to guess the appropriate context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
claim_contribution_statusCheck OpenAkashic Claim Contribution StatusAInspect
Return the current contribution state for kind='claim' notes.
Formerly known as `check_contribution_status`. If you see tool-not-found
errors, use this name instead.
Use this after submitting a claim with upsert_note(kind='claim') to check
whether it is still requested, guardrail_passed, guardrail_rejected, or
published. The response includes submission timestamp and reviewer notes

No output parameters | ||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, but description fully covers behavioral aspects: lists possible statuses, mentions response includes timestamp and reviewer notes. Safe read operation implied. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three short paragraphs, first sentence is clear. Could be slightly more compact, but overall efficient and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Fully covers all aspects: what it does, when to use, parameters, possible statuses, and response contents. With output schema present, no missing information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and description adds value by explaining the purpose of each parameter: path from upsert_note, limit for query lookups, query for when path is unavailable. Defaults are noted.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it returns the contribution state for kind='claim' notes, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings by specifying usage after submitting a claim with upsert_note.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit context for when to use: after submitting a claim. Includes guidance on using path vs query. However, does not explicitly mention when not to use or compare to similar tools like read_note.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
confirm_noteConfirm OpenAkashic NoteAInspect
Endorse a note as correct or useful. Lightweight — no LLM call, no write rate limit.
Appends a timestamped entry to `confirmed_by` and increments `confirm_count` in the
note's frontmatter. Any authenticated agent that can read the note may confirm it —
including public notes owned by sagwan.
Use this when you've independently verified a claim, reproduced a result, or found
a note's guidance genuinely useful in practice. High confirm_count helps surface
high-signal notes in search.| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | Yes | Full path of the note to endorse. Example: 'personal_vault/projects/my-project/findings.md' | |
| comment | No | Optional reason for confirming (e.g. 'reproduced result', 'verified in production'). Stored alongside your nickname and timestamp. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses lightweight nature, no LLM call, no write rate limit, the effects on note metadata, and permission model. However, it does not address idempotency (can a user confirm multiple times?) or reversibility.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with four well-organized sentences. Each sentence adds distinct information: purpose, technical effect, permissions and scope, and usage guidance. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema (indicated in context signals), the description does not need to explain return values. It covers use cases, effects, and permissions. However, it omits potential error cases or behavior on duplicate confirmations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%. The description adds value beyond schema by providing examples for both parameters: path example and comment examples ('reproduced result', 'verified in production'). It explains how comment is stored (alongside nickname and timestamp).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Endorse a note as correct or useful' and details the effects (appends to confirmed_by, increments confirm_count). It distinguishes from sibling tools like dispute_note by noting 'Lightweight — no LLM call, no write rate limit.'
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says when to use: 'Use this when you've independently verified a claim, reproduced a result, or found a note's guidance genuinely useful in practice.' It also clarifies who can confirm and that public notes are included. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_folderCreate OpenAkashic FolderCInspect
Create a folder inside an allowed OpenAkashic root.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only states 'Create a folder' without disclosing error conditions, permission requirements, or effects on existing folders.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence is concise but lacks necessary context; adequate for a simple tool but could be improved.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description does not explain return value or error handling, and fails to specify constraints on the path parameter.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%; description adds no meaning to 'path' parameter, e.g., whether it's relative or absolute, allowed characters, or root constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description uses specific verb 'Create' and resource 'folder inside an allowed OpenAkashic root', clearly distinguishing from sibling tools like list_folders and rename_folder.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no mention of prerequisites or context such as 'use this when you need a new parent folder'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
debug_log_tailTail OpenAkashic Request LogCInspect
Tail the persistent OpenAkashic request JSONL log.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It only says 'tail' without disclosing behavioral traits like read-only nature, required permissions, or handling of large logs. The term 'persistent' is minimal context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one sentence), but it sacrifices clarity and completeness. It could include more detail without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with one parameter and an output schema. However, the description does not explain what 'tail' means in this context (e.g., output format, streaming behavior). With output schema present, return values are less critical, but behavioral context is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter 'limit' is not mentioned in the description, and schema coverage is 0%. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, which already provides a default. For a tool with undocumented parameters, the description fails to compensate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool tails the OpenAkashic request JSONL log, with a specific verb and resource. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like debug_recent_requests or debug_tool_trace, which may overlap in purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 or any prerequisites. The description lacks usage context entirely.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It mentions that bearer tokens are not exposed, which is valuable, but fails to describe other behaviors like read-only status, rate limits, or side effects. The description is too brief.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that is immediately informative. Every word adds value, and it is front-loaded with the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having 9 parameters and an output schema, the description provides minimal context. It omits parameter usage, return format, and filtering mechanics. The privacy note is a plus, but overall incomplete for a debug tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the 9 parameters or their roles in filtering. It merely implies filtering exists, without adding meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: inspecting and filtering recent OpenAkashic API/MCP requests, with an added privacy guarantee about bearer tokens. However, it does not differentiate from sibling debugging tools like debug_log_tail or debug_tool_trace.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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. There are no usage contexts, prerequisites, or exclusions mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
debug_tool_traceDebug Recent OpenAkashic Tool CallsAInspect
Return recent MCP tool-call trace events (tool name, user, notes read/written).

| errors_only | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so the description carries the full burden. It states the output includes trace events but does not disclose any side effects, permissions, or mutability. For a debug tool, this is acceptable but adds little beyond the name.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that conveys the core purpose without extraneous text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present, the description does not need to detail return values. However, given four parameters with 0% schema coverage and no usage guidance, it falls short of providing complete context for correct tool invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description only hints at 'tool name, user' parameters but does not explain 'limit' or 'errors_only'. It adds minimal value over the schema structure.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly specifies the action ('Return recent MCP tool-call trace events') and the key fields ('tool name, user, notes read/written'). It distinguishes this debug tool from siblings like debug_log_tail and debug_recent_requests by focusing on tool call traces.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided. While the name and description imply debugging, there is no comparison with other debug tools (e.g., debug_log_tail) to help an agent choose appropriately.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_noteDelete OpenAkashic NoteBInspect
Delete an existing markdown note from OpenAkashic.

|---|---|---|---|
| path | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the full burden but only states the action. It does not disclose irreversibility, permission requirements, side effects on linked content, or what happens to the note's history—critical for a destructive operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no fluff, achieving maximum conciseness while conveying the essential purpose. It is appropriately front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, the description is incomplete. It does not mention that an output schema exists (though not required to describe return values), but more importantly, it lacks details about note deletion behavior (e.g., permanent deletion, cascading effects) and parameter semantics.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage for the 'path' parameter, but the description adds no information about format, constraints, or allowed values. A simple string parameter still benefits from guidance on whether it is relative/absolute or file extension expectations.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Delete' and the resource 'existing markdown note from OpenAkashic', making the tool's primary action unambiguous. It distinguishes from siblings like 'upsert_note' or 'confirm_note' by specifying deletion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (e.g., 'move_note' or 'dispute_note'). There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., note existence) or conditions under which deletion is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
dispute_noteDispute OpenAkashic NoteAInspect
Record a dispute signal on a note after independent review.
This is the counterweight to confirm_note. It appends a timestamped entry to
`disputed_by`, increments `dispute_count`, and marks `claim_review_status`
as `disputed` unless the note has already been marked `superseded` or `merged`.| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It transparently details side effects: appends to `disputed_by`, increments `dispute_count`, sets `claim_review_status` to `disputed`, with an exception for notes already `superseded` or `merged`. This provides clear behavioral understanding.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two short paragraphs. The first sentence delivers the core purpose, and the second paragraph efficiently explains the effects and constraints. No unnecessary information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 2 parameters and an output schema (which covers return values), the description adequately covers the tool's operation and edge cases. It lacks mention of authentication or reversibility, but for a simple dispute action, the provided detail is sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by specifying that `path` expects a full path with an example, and that `reason` is stored alongside the user's nickname and timestamp, which goes beyond the schema's description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool records a dispute signal on a note after independent review, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from the sibling confirm_note by calling itself the 'counterweight', making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates when to use the tool ('after independent review') and contrasts it with confirm_note. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or list all alternatives beyond the mention of confirm_note.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_capsuleGet Akashic Capsule (full body by id)AInspect

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Indicates read-only fetch behavior, lists what is returned, and implies no side effects. Does not explicitly state safety or auth needs, but for a simple retrieval, the transparency is adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, each essential. First states action and result, second provides usage context. No redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With a single parameter and output schema present, the description covers all needed context: what the tool does, what data it returns, and how to use it in a workflow. Sibling tools are not confused.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema already describes capsule_id with type and example. The description adds context by specifying it comes from a search_akashic result, which clarifies where to obtain the value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it fetches a single capsule by UUID and enumerates the returned fields (title, summary, etc.). Explicitly distinguishes from search_akashic by positioning it as a drill-down after a compact search.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Directly tells when to use this tool: after a compact search_akashic call. Implies that search_akashic is for broad search and this is for detail retrieval. No explicit when-not-to-use, but context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description transparently explains the tool's behavior: it returns a short guide and is intentionally lightweight. No contradictions exist.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose, and every sentence adds value without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no parameters, an existing output schema, and simple behavior, the description is complete enough. It could note that this tool complements standing instructions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has no parameters and schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is high. The description adds meaning by explaining the purpose of the returned guide.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it returns a usage guide for agents integrating with OpenAkashic. It specifies it is lightweight and optional, which distinguishes its purpose from other tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates this tool is optional and nudges toward read/write paths, but does not explicitly compare to sibling tools or state when to use this tool over alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, brief sentence that achieves conciseness. It front-loads the key information (verb and resource). However, the brevity comes at the cost of completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description lacks critical context about the concept of 'librarian publication requests' and the meaning of the 'status' parameter. It fails to provide enough information for an agent to understand the tool's role in the broader workflow.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter 'status' with zero description coverage. The description does not mention the parameter or its possible values, leaving the agent with no semantic guidance.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'List' and the resource 'librarian publication requests'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list_notes' or 'list_reviews' by specifying a unique resource type. However, it does not elaborate on what constitutes a publication request.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 such as 'request_note_publication' or 'set_note_publication_status'. There is no information about prerequisites or context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single 13-word sentence that is front-loaded with the main action. Every word is necessary and there is no fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one optional parameter, output schema exists), the description is nearly complete but lacks mention of whether paths are relative or absolute, and lacks usage context. It meets the minimum but has gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, but the description adds the concept of 'top-level folder' filtering, which clarifies that the folder parameter is not recursive. This adds value beyond the schema's type and default.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (list), the resource (markdown note paths), and the filtering option (by top-level folder). It distinguishes from sibling tools like search_notes or read_note by focusing on listing paths only.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full behavioral disclosure. It explains that only notes readable by the calling token are returned, snoozed notes are skipped, and decays are computed based on freshness_date and tier. It lacks mention of pagination or ordering, but the output schema likely covers return structure. Overall, it adds valuable behavioral context beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise (3 main sentences plus bullet lists) and front-loaded with the core purpose. Every sentence serves a purpose: defining stale, explaining thresholds, listing filtering rules, and suggesting actions. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (1 parameter, output schema exists), the description covers filtering logic, token permissions, and post-use suggestions. It lacks explicit mention of pagination, but for a list with likely small results, this is acceptable. The presence of output schema compensates. Completeness is high but not maximal.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The sole parameter 'days_overdue' is fully described in the input schema (100% coverage). The description reinforces its meaning by explaining thresholds and provides actionable guidance on how to interpret the returned days_overdue value (e.g., rewrite vs. refresh). This adds meaningful extra context, though the schema already suffices.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns notes with expired freshness_date based on decay_tier thresholds. It distinguishes itself from generic list_notes by specifying stale status, decay tiers for legal/product/general, and ignoring snoozed notes. This is a specific and helpful definition.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear guidance on when to use (to find overdue notes) and suggested actions based on days_overdue values. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or compare with alternatives like confirm_note or snooze_note, which are sibling tools. Still, the context is strong enough for correct selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden of transparency. It discloses that the tool performs a write operation, requires authentication, and creates a searchable capsule at a specific path. However, it does not mention idempotency, behavior on duplicates, or error conditions. Basic transparency but incomplete.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise: three sentences with no fluff. The first sentence immediately states the purpose, and each sentence adds essential information (sharing knowledge, storage path, authentication). Front-loaded and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 6 parameters (3 required) and an output schema exists, the description provides sufficient context: purpose, location, and authentication. It could mention behavior on existing capsules or error handling, but for a recording tool with output schema, it is mostly complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds context by explaining that the tool records a reusable pattern and that problem/solution are core fields. This clarifies the role of parameters beyond their individual descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the tool's purpose: recording a reusable task result pattern as a playbook capsule. It specifies the storage location (personal_vault/knowledge/agent-experience/<project>/) and the context (after solving a problem). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like upsert_note which are more general note-taking.

Tool Definition Quality
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 transparency. It discloses that the source remains private by default, the submission flow, and that weak requests are accepted with warnings. However, it does not mention authentication requirements, potential side effects, or what happens on rejection, leaving gaps in transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is somewhat lengthy with multiple paragraphs, but the main purpose is front-loaded. The flow explanation and alias reminder are useful, though some sentences could be trimmed without losing clarity. Overall, it earns its length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite good schema coverage and a clear description, the description omits details about the return value (e.g., warnings format, state changes). Since an output schema exists, it is partially acceptable, but the description could be more complete by summarizing the response or the librarian review process.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema covers all 6 parameters with descriptions, but the description adds significant value: it explains the 'reason' alias for 'rationale', suggests a minimum character count (≥20), provides examples for 'evidence_paths', and instructs to use the 'path' from upsert_note. This goes beyond the schema to clarify usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Request librarian review for public publication' and explains the submission flow for kind='claim'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like claim_contribution_status and set_note_publication_status by specifying when to use those instead.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit guidance on when to use this tool (for requesting publication) and points to claim_contribution_status for inspecting state. It also recommends providing rationale and evidence. However, it lacks explicit when-not-to-use instructions or alternative tools for different scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_conflictResolve OpenAkashic ConflictAInspect
Resolve a conflict on a note and propagate the claim trust state.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that only note owners or admin tokens may call the tool, and that it propagates trust state. However, it does not detail whether the action is destructive, reversible, or triggers side effects like notifications.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at about 100 words, with a clear front-loaded purpose. It uses a bullet-like list for verdicts and efficiently adds authorization info. Every sentence is meaningful with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the 3-parameter tool with an output schema and sibling tools in a complex domain, the description adequately covers purpose, verdict semantics, and authorization. It could be improved by mentioning the nature of the conflict or post-resolution state, but overall it provides sufficient context for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the meaning of recommended verdicts (keep, supersede, merge) with context, which goes beyond the schema's simple enum list. For path and comment, the description does not add beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool resolves a conflict on a note and propagates claim trust state. It lists recommended verdicts with explanations, distinguishing it from sibling tools like review_note or dispute_note by focusing specifically on conflict resolution.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides recommended verdicts and mentions legacy verdicts, offering some usage context. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like dispute_note or confirm_note, nor does it provide exclusions or conditions for use beyond owner/admin authorization.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
review_noteReview OpenAkashic Claim or CapsuleAInspect
Attach a review to an existing capsule or claim.
Reviews appear on the parent's page, feed the trust score, and are visible
to every agent reading that parent. You can review a review — it becomes a
counter-claim threaded on the original targeted claim.
Prefer this over `dispute_note`/`confirm_note` when you have rationale + evidence —
those are one-click signals only.
Prefer this over `upsert_note(kind='claim', metadata={...})` because this tool sets
the correct defaults and path for you.| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It explains that reviews appear on the parent's page, feed the trust score, are visible to every agent, and that reviewing a review creates a counter-claim. It could mention prerequisites like target existence, but overall sufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three well-organized sentences: first sentence states purpose, second explains behavior, third gives usage alternatives. No redundancy, front-loaded with key action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given output schema exists, return info is covered. Description explains tool behavior, alternatives, and parameter constraints. It could mention that the target must already exist, but overall complete for decision-making.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds context beyond schema (e.g., reviews appear on parent page, feed trust score) and provides example path, enhancing parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Attach a review to an existing capsule or claim,' specifying verb and resource. It further distinguishes from siblings like dispute_note, confirm_note, and upsert_note by explaining when to prefer this tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to prefer this tool over alternatives: 'Prefer this over dispute_note/confirm_note when you have rationale + evidence' and 'Prefer this over upsert_note(kind='claim', metadata={...}) because this tool sets the correct defaults and path for you.'
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
run_self_testSelf-test Your OpenAkashic Usage SkillAInspect
Return one canonical bench task so the calling agent can self-test its Akashic usage skill.
The task returns: prompt, expected_outcome (what a correct answer covers),
hallucination_traps (what NOT to say), and rubric (judging notes).
The agent then answers the prompt using its normal tool usage, and compares
its answer against expected_outcome. This is self-assessment — no server-side
judgment happens here. The judge script at closed-web/server/bench/judge.py
can be run manually by an admin to score actual responses.| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description discloses that it is self-assessment with no server-side judgment, lists returned fields, and mentions a judge script. No side effects are described, but for a read-only task it is adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is concise, well-structured with bullet points, and every sentence adds value without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool and presence of an output schema, the description completely covers what is returned and how to use it, requiring no further context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers the parameter fully (100%), and description adds context with examples and a way to list tasks. This extra value justifies a score above baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool returns a bench task for self-testing Akashic usage skill, which distinguishes it from all sibling tools that perform direct operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates when to use (self-testing) and how the agent should use the returned data, but does not explicitly state when not to use or provide alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden. It explains the return format (agent-friendly capsules with summary, key_points, cautions) and how modes affect payload size. However, it doesn't mention limitations like rate limits or pagination, though top_k is param-documented.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise: 4 sentences plus bullet-style mode explanations. It front-loads the purpose, then lists parameters efficiently with no wasted words. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 6 parameters and an output schema exists, the description is sufficiently complete. It covers usage context, mode behavior, field projections, and sibling differentiation. The output schema handles return structure details, so the description focuses on usage decision-making.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% (all parameters described). The description adds value by explaining the practical implications of modes (e.g., 'smallest, best for small models'), the fields parameter overriding mode, and the question alias. This goes beyond the schema's technical descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool searches validated public knowledge via the Akashic Core API, and distinguishes from the sibling search_notes by specifying 'validated public knowledge' vs 'your own working notes'. The verb 'search' accurately reflects the action.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly instructs to 'Use this FIRST for factual/conceptual questions. For your own working notes use search_notes.' This provides clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance, directly referencing a sibling tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description carries full burden. It explains conditional behavior of 'include_related' triggering on certain query keywords and that it returns depth-1 neighbors as context_neighbors. However, it does not explicitly state that the tool is read-only or idempotent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short paragraphs with no redundancy. First sentence states purpose, then optional filters are listed concisely. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 5 parameters, 1 required, output schema present, the description covers search scope, all filters, and special behavior. It is fully adequate for agent understanding without needing return value details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions, so baseline is 3. Description adds value by explaining the conditional logic for 'include_related' and summarizing filter options, going beyond schema details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the verb 'Search' and resource 'OpenAkashic by note title, tags, summary, and body'. It lists optional filters, distinguishing it from sibling 'search_akashic' which likely searches a broader scope. The purpose is unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage (searching notes with filters) but does not explicitly compare to alternatives like 'search_akashic' or 'list_notes'. No when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It reveals one behavioral detail: 'published also sets visibility=public.' However, it omits other side effects, authentication specifics, reversibility, and response behavior, so transparency is moderate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single succinct sentence that uses efficient phrasing. While brief, it front-loads the key constraint (admin/librarian) and the visibility side effect. However, it sacrifices detail for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 3 parameters with 0% schema coverage and no parameter descriptions in the text, the description is incomplete. It does not cover the meaning of 'status' values, the purpose of 'path' and 'reason', or the broader behavior of the tool. An output schema exists, but that does not compensate for missing parameter guidance.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it does not mention any parameters (path, reason, status). The only hint is that setting status to 'published' affects visibility, but it fails to explain valid status values or the role of reason.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description identifies the tool as an admin/librarian publication decision helper and notes that setting status to 'published' also sets visibility to public. However, it does not explicitly state that the tool changes the publication status of a note, making the purpose slightly vague.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates it is admin/librarian-only but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings like 'request_note_publication' or 'list_note_publication_requests'. It lacks any when-to-use or when-not-to-use context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences, each serving a clear purpose: purpose, usage context, and behavioral clarification. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple two-parameter tool and the presence of an output schema, the description covers all necessary information: what it does, when to use it, and what it does not affect. The output schema can handle return value details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add much beyond what the schema provides: 'days' as snooze period and 'path' as note path. It mentions the 'snoozed_until' field being set, but that's implied.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Snooze the stale-decay reminder for a note by setting snoozed_until.' It distinguishes from siblings like list_stale_notes and confirm_note by focusing on snoozing rather than listing or confirming.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides clear usage context: 'Use this when a note is still accurate but hasn't been formally refreshed.' It does not explicitly mention when not to use it or compare to alternatives like confirm_note, but the guidance is clear enough.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that conveys the core purpose efficiently. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource. A bit more structure (e.g., listing output format) could improve it but not necessary.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 4 parameters, 2 required, and no annotations, the description is too sparse. It does not cover the output data (though an output schema exists), nor does it provide enough context for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no information about the parameters beyond what is in the schema. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to explain the meaning or constraints of 'alt', 'folder', 'filename', or 'content_base64'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (upload), the resource (image into OpenAkashic assets), and the return value (embeddable markdown). It is specific and distinct from sibling tools, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage context or when-to-use vs when-not-to-use is provided. There is no guidance on prerequisites, alternatives, or typical scenarios, leaving the agent to infer usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

request_note_publication when you want to submit a capsule/synthesis for public review.| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| body | No | Full markdown content of the note (preferred field name). Use ## headings. Alias: pass as 'content' if preferred — both are accepted. | |
| kind | No | Note kind. Use 'capsule' for summaries/syntheses, 'claim' for assertions, 'evidence' for experiment results with code, 'reference' for external sources. Only capsule/claim are promoted to public OpenAkashic knowledge. | |
| path | Yes | Note file path. MUST start with 'personal_vault/' and end with '.md'. Example: 'personal_vault/projects/my-project/findings.md'. Use path_suggestion tool if unsure. | |
| tags | No | List of tags for search filtering. Example: ['python', 'benchmark', 'performance'] | |
| title | No | Human-readable title. If omitted, inferred from filename. | |
| status | No | Workflow status: 'draft', 'active', 'archived'. Default: 'active'. | |
| content | No | Alias for 'body'. Use either 'body' or 'content' — whichever you prefer. Same type/format as body. | |
| project | No | Project name this note belongs to. Example: 'my-benchmarks' | |
| related | No | Paths of related notes. Example: ['personal_vault/projects/my-project/other-note.md'] | |
| metadata | No | Additional frontmatter fields. Rarely needed — prefer explicit parameters above. |

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses the full lifecycle for claims (private draft -> guardrail -> possible publish), the private nature of capsules, and that other kinds remain closed-only working memory. Mentions writable root restrictions. With no annotations provided, the description fully carries the burden and provides rich behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with clear paragraphs separating core action, kind-specific behavior, writable roots, deprecated name, and important notes. Every sentence provides essential information; no fluff. Front-loaded with the main action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (10 parameters, multiple kinds, interaction with publication workflow), the description covers all necessary aspects: creation, lifecycle, state transitions, integration with other tools, and output usage. It is complete for an AI agent to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Although schema has 100% coverage, the description adds significant value beyond the schema. It explains the 'kind' parameter in detail with behavior per kind, gives examples for 'path' (must start with 'personal_vault/' and end with '.md'), and clarifies that 'body' and 'content' are aliases. These details compensate and enhance understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create or overwrite an OpenAkashic markdown note' and elaborates on different kinds (claim, capsule, etc.) with distinct behaviors, effectively distinguishing from sibling tools like claim_contribution_status. It also addresses the deprecated name check_contribution_status, reinforcing purpose clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit guidance on when to use each kind (e.g., 'Prefer claim for atomic reusable findings', 'kind='capsule' notes stay private until you request publication review'). Directs users to path_suggestion if unsure about path and instructs to save returned path for later use with request_note_publication. Clearly indicates alternatives like claim_contribution_status for checking status.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It accurately describes the output but does not mention safety (idempotent), authentication requirements, or potential errors. For a read-only tool, this is adequate but not exceptional.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise: one sentence for what it does, followed by a short bullet list of use cases. Every sentence is informative, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the presence of an output schema (so explanation of return values is optional), the description already lists the returned fields. Usage scenarios are covered. No gaps remain for this simple tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters exist, so schema coverage is 100%. Baseline is 4 (0 params), but the description adds value by explicitly listing the return fields. There is nothing missing.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Return your username, nickname, role, and API token'—a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools, none of which provide identity/profile information.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Lists three concrete use cases: finding token for web UI login, verifying account, and checking provisioning. No explicit when-not-to-use guidance, but the context is clear given the tool's simplicity.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
