Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.2/5 across 140 of 140 tools scored. Lowest: 1.6/5.
Most tools target distinct resources or actions, but there is some overlap (e.g., run_repository_fix vs run_repository_pipeline vs simulate_repository) that could cause confusion. Overall, descriptions help differentiate.
Tool names are primarily snake_case with a verb_noun pattern, but there are inconsistencies (e.g., single-word verbs like 'simulate', 'tokenize', and mixed prefixes like 'preview_', 'product_'). The pattern is readable but not uniform.
With 140 tools, the server is extremely over-scoped for typical MCP usage. This overwhelms agents and suggests poor separation of concerns, likely violating the principle of minimal tool surfaces.
The tool set covers a wide range of functionalities including data onboarding, simulation, decisions, repository management, and admin operations. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no update_agent_run), but core workflows are well-supported.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions the modes of application (patch, branch, PR) but does not describe side effects, required permissions, or whether the operation is destructive. Critical behavioral context is missing.
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 with no wasted words. However, it lacks structure such as bullet points or clear separation of key information. It is efficient but could be organized slightly better for quick scanning.
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 11 parameters (4 required), no output schema, and no annotations, the description is far too sparse. It does not explain the modes, prerequisites, or what the tool produces. It is incomplete for an agent to use effectively without additional 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?
The schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description provides no explanation of any parameter's meaning or purpose. An agent must rely solely on the schema's type/enum constraints, which is insufficient for correct use. The description adds no value beyond the parameter names.
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 'apply' and the resource 'simulated repository decision', and lists the three modes (patch_only, local_branch, remote_pr). It distinguishes from sibling tools like simulate_repository by indicating this tool applies a pre-existing simulation.
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 after a simulation has been created, but does not explicitly state when to use or when not to use. No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer context from the tool name and parameters.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
approve_agent_runCInspect
Approve an Algenta agent run waiting on manual approval.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| run_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It only says 'approve' without explaining state changes, side effects, permissions, or whether the action is reversible.
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, which is concise but lacks necessary detail. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, but the brevity sacrifices 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?
Given no output schema and a single parameter, the description does not cover return behavior, error conditions, or required permissions. It is incomplete for a state-changing operation.
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 clarify the parameter. It states the tool approves a run, implying 'run_id' identifies the run, but adds no detail on format, constraints, or how to obtain the ID.
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 ('approve') and the specific resource ('an Algenta agent run waiting on manual approval'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'cancel_agent_run' or 'resume_agent_run'.
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 does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or when not to use it. It merely implies usage when a run is awaiting approval.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
batchAInspect
Run multiple simulation requests in one call and return per-item success or failure details.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| items | Yes | Simulation requests forwarded to POST /v1/batch. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses that it runs multiple requests and returns per-item results, but lacks details on error handling, rate limits, or authorization requirements. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries full burden but 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?
One sentence with 12 words, front-loaded with key information, no redundant content.
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 single parameter and no output schema, the description provides sufficient context: batching simulation requests and returning per-item success/failure. Could mention independence of requests or limits, but overall 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 covers the 'items' parameter with a description. The tool description adds little beyond what the schema provides, so baseline of 3 is appropriate.
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 function: running multiple simulation requests in one call and returning per-item results. It distinguishes from the 'simulate' tool by emphasizing batching.
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?
Implies usage when multiple simulations are needed, but does not explicitly state when to avoid using it (e.g., for single simulations) or mention alternatives like 'simulate'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
browse_connectorCInspect
Browse one saved live connector to discover files, tables, endpoints, or items.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| connector_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must bear the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It describes 'browse' and 'discover' but does not specify whether the operation is read-only, requires authentication, has pagination, or what format the return value takes. Critical behavioral traits are missing.
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 waste, but it is too terse. While front-loaded, it sacrifices necessary detail for brevity. It could be expanded without losing conciseness.
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 single parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what 'browse' means in terms of output structure (e.g., tree vs list), whether results are paginated, or how it differs from 'preview_browse_connector'. The agent lacks critical information 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?
Schema coverage is 0% (no description in schema for 'connector_id'), and the description does not add meaning beyond the parameter name. The text 'one saved live connector' implies it must be an existing connector, but does not clarify how to obtain the ID (e.g., from 'list_connectors') or what format it should be.
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 ('browse'), the target resource ('one saved live connector'), and the purpose ('discover files, tables, endpoints, or items'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'list_connectors' (list connectors themselves) and 'preview_browse_connector' (preview browsing).
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. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., using 'list_connectors' to get a connector ID) or when to prefer 'preview_browse_connector' or 'query_data' instead.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
cancel_agent_runCInspect
Cancel an Algenta agent run.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| run_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as side effects, reversibility, or required conditions like run state.
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 short sentence, which is concise but lacks essential details. It is not wasteful but is under-specified.
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 has no output schema, no annotations, and the description is minimal. The agent cannot understand the full behavior or return value from this description alone.
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 adds no meaning to the run_id parameter beyond what the input schema already shows.
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 'Cancel an Algenta agent run' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_agent_run or approve_agent_run.
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 cancel a run, prerequisites, or how it differs from similar tools like resume_agent_run or delete_deployment. The description provides no context for appropriate use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
cancel_jobAInspect
Cancel a queued or running async simulation job by id.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | Yes | UUID of the async job |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. While it states the action, it does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether cancellation is reversible, what happens to job results, or any side effects. For a mutation tool, this is a gap.
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 that efficiently conveys the purpose and scope. 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?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is mostly complete. It specifies the job type (async simulation) and state (queued or running). However, it could mention what happens after cancellation or any prerequisites.
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?
There is one parameter, 'job_id', which is described in the schema as 'UUID of the async job'. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate given 100% schema coverage.
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 'cancel', the resource 'async simulation job', and the method 'by id'. It distinguishes this from sibling tools like 'get_job_status' or 'poll_job' that do not cancel.
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 the tool is used when a queued or running job needs to be cancelled, but it does not provide any guidance on when not to use it or mention alternatives like 'cancel_agent_run' for agent-specific jobs.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
chat_completionsCInspect
Run the deterministic Algenta utility chat surface. This is a tokenizer-backed utility route, not a provider-backed generative model.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| model | No | text.tokenizer | |
| messages | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description states the tool is deterministic and utility-based, but with no annotations provided, it fails to disclose important behavioral traits such as output format, side effects, or limitations. The agent lacks information about what the tool returns or if it has any constraints.
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 very short (one sentence), which is concise, but it lacks essential information. It could be expanded 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 the tool has two parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what the tool returns or provide enough context for correct invocation. Sibling tools like 'responses' or 'tokenize' are not referenced.
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 meaning beyond the input schema. With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but does not mention any parameters. The agent gets no additional context about 'model' or 'messages' beyond the JSON 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?
The description clearly states it runs the 'deterministic Algenta utility chat surface' and distinguishes it as tokenizer-backed, not generative. This differentiates it from sibling tools like 'responses' or 'tokenize', though it could be more explicit about the resource being a chat completion endpoint.
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 deterministic, non-generative chat but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when-not to use it or suggest other 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.
compareBInspect
Run named scenarios side by side and return the winner plus deltas versus the best scenario.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| runs | No | ||
| seed | No | ||
| scenarios | Yes | Named scenarios forwarded to POST /v1/compare. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention whether the tool is read-only or modifies state, what side effects occur, or any authorization or rate limit dependencies. The term 'run' is vague and could imply execution or simulation, but no further context is given.
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 efficiently communicates the tool's core function without any extraneous words. It is well-structured for quick comprehension.
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 no output schema, no annotations, and incomplete parameter descriptions, the description leaves significant gaps. It does not explain what the output looks like (winner, deltas format), nor does it address behavioral or contextual aspects needed for an agent to use the tool confidently.
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 only 33% (only 'scenarios' has a description). The description adds no meaning for 'runs' or 'seed' parameters. The tool description does not elaborate on parameter usage, types, or expected values beyond what the schema minimally provides.
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 runs named scenarios side by side, returns the winner, and deltas against the best scenario. It uses specific verbs and resource, effectively distinguishing it from siblings like 'score' or 'simulate' which likely handle single scenarios or different 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 implies usage when needing to compare multiple named scenarios and identify the best one, but it does not provide explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or mention alternative tools for similar tasks. It fails to specify prerequisites or constraints.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
connect_dataAInspect
High-level data onboarding flow. Use this instead of advanced connector/source tools for normal users. Connect data once, pick the table/file/endpoint, and get a reusable dataset_id. If the result status is needs_selection, call connect_data again with connection_id and the chosen selection.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|

| dataset_name | Yes | Name to save and reuse later. | |
| connection_id | No | Existing saved connection_id when resuming after selection. | |
| connection_name | No | Optional label for the saved connection. | |
| connection_type | No | Legacy compatibility field. Prefer connector.type with the canonical connector envelope. | |
| connection_config | No | Legacy compatibility field for connector credentials/config. Prefer connector.location and connector.auth.credentials. |
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 full burden. It discloses the main flow and the 'needs_selection' branching behavior but fails to mention side effects, authentication requirements, error states, or whether the tool is idempotent. For a complex mutation tool, this is insufficient.
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 four sentences, well-structured, and front-loaded with purpose and usage guidance. Every sentence contributes meaning without repetition or 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?
The description covers the high-level flow and the branching case (needs_selection), but it lacks details on return structure, possible statuses, error handling, and the nature of the dataset_id. Given the tool's complexity (16 parameters, nested objects, no output schema), more completeness is expected.
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?
With schema coverage at 94%, the baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the usage pattern for key parameters (e.g., connection_id used when resuming after selection, selection object from choices). It also contextualizes the flow, which helps the agent understand parameter relationships.
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 identifies the tool as a high-level data onboarding flow, specifying its purpose: connect data, pick a source, and obtain a reusable dataset_id. It explicitly distinguishes itself from advanced connector/source tools and mentions the target audience (normal users).
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?
Description provides clear context on when to use this tool (for normal users over advanced tools) and includes a workflow hint: if the result status is 'needs_selection', call connect_data again with connection_id + selection. It does not explicitly list alternatives, but the sibling context provides that externally.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
count_tokensCInspect
Count tokens with a supported deterministic Algenta tokenizer model.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| input | Yes | ||
| model | No | text.tokenizer |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description is the sole source of behavioral information. It mentions 'deterministic' but does not disclose details such as behavior with unsupported models, possible responses, or error handling. Minimal 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 a single sentence, which is appropriately concise for a simple tool. However, it sacrifices necessary detail, making it insufficient rather than efficiently informative.
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 lack of output schema and annotations, the description should provide more context about return values, supported models, or usage examples. It is incomplete for a tool with two parameters and no structured metadata.
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%, yet the description adds almost no meaning to the parameters. It refers to 'supported deterministic Algenta tokenizer model' but does not explain valid model values or input format. The default 'text.tokenizer' is not elaborated.
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 'Count tokens' and the resource 'tokens', and specifies the use of a 'supported deterministic Algenta tokenizer model'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling 'tokenize' which likely tokenizes text rather than just counting.
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 like 'tokenize'. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or scenarios where this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| tools | No | ||
| context | No | ||
| max_steps | No | ||
| start_paused | No | ||
| approval_mode | No | auto | |
| output_format | No | text |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only implies a mutation via 'Create' but does not detail potential side effects, authorization needs, rate limits, or idempotency. Critical behavioral context is missing.
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?
While the description is a single sentence, it is severely under-specified for a tool with 7 parameters. It does not use the space effectively—it is more of a label than a helpful description. Conciseness should not come 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?
Given the tool's complexity (7 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is completely inadequate. It fails to explain the return value, behavior, or any business logic. A description this short cannot support correct tool selection or 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 input schema has 7 parameters but 0% schema coverage in the description. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema's property names and types. For example, it does not explain what 'task', 'tools', 'context', or 'approval_mode' represent or how they affect the run.
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 essentially restates the tool name ('Create a persisted Algenta agent run lifecycle resource') without adding specificity about what an 'agent run' is or how it differs from other similar tools like get_agent_run or cancel_agent_run. It lacks a distinct verb+resource pattern that clarifies scope.
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 guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., batch, submit_job, or other run-related tools), nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| device_limit | No |
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 the one-time raw_key return, but does not disclose permissions, rate limits, or side effects on existing keys.
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 that is directly relevant, no filler, front-loaded with key verb and resource.
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, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too brief. It lacks explanation of parameter purposes, constraints, or return format beyond raw_key.
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%, and the description does not explain any parameter (label, expires_at, device_limit). It only mentions return value, not input semantics.
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), the resource (API key), and a notable return behavior (one-time raw_key). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like revoke_api_key and list_api_keys.
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 versus alternatives, no prerequisites or contextual hints. The mention of 'one-time raw_key' is helpful but insufficient for usage decisions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 8 parameters with 0% description coverage, and the description does not explain any parameter semantics. Users have no guidance on how to use parameters like scope, config, or binding_id.
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 action ('Discover capabilities') and distinguishes between saved and unsaved capability bindings. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like test_capability_binding, which might have similar purposes.
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 when to use (for saved or unsaved bindings) but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives among siblings. No exclusions or context for choosing this over other tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
embeddingsCInspect
Generate deterministic lexical embeddings with the supported Algenta model.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| input | Yes | ||
| model | No | text.hash_embedding_v1 | |
| dimensions | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description mentions 'deterministic' but fails to disclose other critical behaviors (e.g., authentication, rate limits, idempotency). No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden but is insufficient.
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 single sentence is concise but lacks structure and essential details. It front-loads the action but is too short to be effective.
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 three parameters and no output schema, the description is vastly incomplete. It does not explain return values, constraints, or how to interact with the 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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate but provides no explanation of parameters such as 'input', 'model', or 'dimensions'. The agent cannot infer their meaning or proper values.
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 ('Generate') and the resource ('deterministic lexical embeddings') with a specific model reference. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like 'embedding_similarity'.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only mentions 'with a supported similarity model,' implying multiple options, but does not elaborate on computational cost, idempotency, or whether it modifies state. The description is accurate but insufficient for effective selection.
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 with no redundancy or irrelevant details. It efficiently communicates 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 3 parameters and no annotations or output schema, the description omits critical context: what the output represents (e.g., similarity score range), vector length requirements, model options, and error conditions. This makes the tool under-specified for an AI agent to invoke reliably.
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%, yet the description adds no explanation for any parameter. 'left' and 'right' are merely stated as 'embedding vectors' without constraints like dimensions or data types. The 'model' parameter is not described beyond a vague mention. This fails to compensate for the lack of schema 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 verb 'Score' and the resource 'embedding vectors' using a similarity model. It distinguishes the tool's purpose from siblings like 'embeddings' (which generates vectors) and 'score' (which may be generic) by specifying it works with caller-supplied vectors. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from similar comparison tools like 'rerank'.
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 vs. alternatives such as 'score' or 'rerank'. The description lacks context about prerequisites (e.g., need for precomputed embeddings) or comparison with other similarity methods.

| binding_id | No | ||
| request_id | No | ||
| capability_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions a constraint for client_managed routes but fails to address auth requirements, side effects, idempotency, or whether execution is synchronous. This is insufficient for safe use.
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 very concise at two sentences, but it sacrifices necessary detail. While no words are wasted, the brevity leads to incompleteness.
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 4 parameters (including nested objects), no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely lacking. It does not explain return values, errors, prerequisites, or execution behavior, making it incomplete for effective use.
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, and the description adds no meaning for any parameter beyond mentioning capability_id. The roles of 'input', 'binding_id', and 'request_id' are completely unexplained, leaving the agent unable to use the tool correctly.
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 ('execute') and resource ('capability by capability id'), and distinguishes between algenta_managed and client_managed routes. However, the title is null and the verb could be slightly more specific.
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?

It mentions dispatching to a webhook and persisting a receipt but omits important behavioral aspects like idempotency (only hinted via the 'force' parameter), safety bypass, and potential side effects of re-execution.
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 immediately conveys the core action and purpose. No unnecessary words or 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 complexity (6 parameters, nested objects, webhook with safety overrides), the description is too brief. It does not explain the execution flow, success/failure behavior, or how to use parameters like 'force' and 'override_safety' in context. The lack of an output schema further increases the need for descriptive completeness, which is not met.
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?
All 6 parameters have descriptions in the schema (100% coverage), so the description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. The baseline of 3 applies, as the schema adequately documents each parameter.
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 ('dispatch'), the resource ('logged decision'), and the outcome ('persist the execution receipt'). It effectively distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'log_decision' and 'plan_decision' by focusing on execution and external communication.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the parameter 'days' is already described in the schema. The description adds no additional semantic information beyond the schema's 'Lookback window in days', so baseline score applies.
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 retrieves usage analytics and lists specific metrics (simulation volume, latency p95, outcome distributions), making the purpose specific. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_usage' or 'get_agent_run_telemetry', which may have overlapping functionality.
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, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions. It simply states what it does without contextual usage advice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

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?
Only one parameter dataset_id with 100% schema coverage. Schema description already states 'Dataset ID from connect_data or list_data.' The tool description repeats this same origin info without adding new semantic value, so baseline 3 applies.
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 'Get' and resource 'low-token dataset selection summary' for a saved dataset_id. It clearly distinguishes this as a lightweight summary, differentiated from siblings like get_data_schema (full schema) and get_dataset_status (status only). The workflow mention further clarifies its role.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Description uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('autonomous execution policy') with scope ('active organization'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like update_execution_policy and list_execution_policy_snapshots.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies usage (when you need to read the policy), but does not provide exclusions or context for when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_job_resultBInspect
Fetch the completed result payload for an async simulation job by id.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | Yes | UUID of the async job |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description must disclose behaviors. It mentions 'completed result' but does not specify error conditions (e.g., job not completed, invalid ID), side effects, or required permissions. This leaves significant ambiguity.
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, clear sentence of 9 words, efficiently conveying the core purpose without superfluous 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?
Despite having one parameter and no output schema, the description omits details about the return payload structure. For a fetch operation, this is a significant gap that hinders the agent's ability to interpret results.
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 a clear description for job_id. The description adds little beyond the schema ('by id'), so baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 ('Fetch'), the resource ('completed result payload'), and the context ('async simulation job by id'), making it highly specific and distinguishing it from siblings like get_job_status.
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?

get_repository_snapshotCInspect
Fetch one immutable repository snapshot by repository_id and snapshot_id.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| snapshot_id | Yes | ||
| repository_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. The word 'immutable' hints at read-only, but it does not cover idempotency, error behavior (e.g., if snapshot doesn't exist), authentication needs, or rate limits. The description is too minimal to provide sufficient transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

With no annotations, the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It reveals auto-detection, merging, and objective function building, but lacks details on persistence, permissions, or side effects. The behavior is moderately transparent.
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?
Four sentences efficiently convey the tool's core functionality, options, and multi-table handling. Every sentence adds value 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 complexity and lack of output schema, the description covers key features but omits return value details (e.g., what is returned when run_simulation=false) and whether the ingestion creates a persistent payload. Some gaps remain.
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 meaning by explaining the run_simulation flag's immediate execution and the auto-merge behavior for multiple tables, providing context 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 ingests tabular data and auto-maps it to a simulation payload, detecting distributions, polarity, and units. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'simulate' which likely run pre-built payloads.
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 for preparing simulation data, noting the run_simulation flag for immediate execution. However, it provides no explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternative tools (e.g., 'simulate', 'connect_data'), leaving the agent to infer context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| role | No | ||
| Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'invite', which implies a write operation, but fails to mention side effects like sending an invitation email, permission requirements, or what happens on success/failure.
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?
While concise as a single sentence, it is under-specified for a tool with two parameters. The brevity omits critical details, making it insufficiently informative.
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 lack of output schema, annotations, and parameter descriptions, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the invitation flow, return value, or any behavioral context, leaving major gaps for the 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?

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully convey behavior. It implies a read-only listing but fails to mention pagination (despite 'page' and 'limit' parameters), result format, ordering, or what 'persisted' means. The description is too vague to guide accurate tool invocation.
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 unnecessary words, but it is under-informative. Conciseness is achieved at the expense of critical details, making it borderline inadequate.
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 6 parameters, no output schema, no annotations, and numerous sibling tools, the description is extremely incomplete. It does not address what a 'run' is, how 'persisted' differs from transient runs, parameter meanings, or the pagination mechanism.
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% (no parameter descriptions in schema), and the tool description does not explain any of the 6 parameters. The agent must rely solely on parameter names, which are insufficient for 'request_hash', 'policy_snapshot_id', and 'schema_snapshot_id'.
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 uses a specific verb 'List' and resource 'persisted Algenta agent runs' with scope 'for the authenticated org'. It clearly distinguishes from siblings like 'get_agent_run' (single run) and other list tools like 'list_runs' (likely a different entity). The qualifier 'persisted' adds specificity.
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 such as 'get_agent_run' for a single run or 'cancel_agent_run' for mutating state. There is no mention of filtering strategies, pagination, or when not to use the tool.

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not cover pagination, default values, or return format, making the tool definition incomplete for an agent to use 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the schema properties have no descriptions. The tool description does not mention the 'page' and 'limit' parameters at all, leaving the agent without guidance on how to use them effectively.
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 'List' and resource 'registered devices' with scope 'current organization'. It distinguishes from sibling tools because no other tool lists devices, and 'list_devices' is unique.
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, such as revoke_device. There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use context, leaving the agent without decision support.

Given 6 optional parameters and async behavior, description covers main workflow: registration, immediate querying, training, status polling. Lacks mention of return value (likely dataset ID) and error handling, but is fairly complete for the tool's complexity.
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. Description adds high-level summary ('Pass column names, inline records, or raw CSV') but does not detail parameters like async_train or domain_aliases which are described in schema. No extra meaning beyond what schema provides.
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 registers a dataset for semantic querying ('Register a dataset for semantic querying'). It specifies the main verb 'register' and resource 'dataset', and differentiates from siblings by mentioning that queries work immediately via a fallback model and to poll status with list_datasets.
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 context on when to use: pass column names, inline records, or raw CSV. Implies that after registration, queries are possible immediately with fallback and improved after training. Mentions polling list_datasets for status, giving guidance on post-usage. However, no explicit exclusions or comparisons to alternatives like ingest_data.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
pause_triggerAInspect
Pause or resume an existing trigger without deleting it.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| paused | No | Set true to pause, false to resume (default: true). | |
| trigger_id | Yes | Trigger ID to update. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description is the sole source. It discloses pause/resume effect and non-deletion but omits idempotency, permissions, or side effects.
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, front-loaded sentence with no extraneous content.
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?
Sufficient for a simple boolean toggle with two parameters, though no output schema or behavioral depth is provided.
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%; description adds no parameter details beyond schema, meeting baseline.
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 pauses or resumes a trigger without deletion, distinguishing it from delete_trigger and fire_trigger.
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?
Implicitly contrasts with deletion by saying 'without deleting it', but lacks explicit when-to-use or alternative guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
plan_decisionBInspect
Build a structured Algenta DecisionPlan from a validated simulation-style request. Use this when the caller needs the plan summary without the full decision envelope.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
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 of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Build a structured ...' without disclosing side effects, idempotency, permissions, or whether it creates a resource. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotations.
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 with two sentences, no fluff, and each sentence provides direct 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 no output schema and no annotations, the description is too brief. It doesn't explain the return value, any constraints, or prerequisites, leaving the agent with many unanswered questions.
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?
There are zero parameters, so the baseline is 4 per guidelines. However, the description adds minimal value beyond the schema's description of a 'Simulation-style payload'. It mentions 'validated simulation-style request' but doesn't specify what that entails, so a slight reduction is warranted.
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 builds a structured Algenta DecisionPlan from a validated simulation-style request, distinguishing it from the full decision envelope. However, it doesn't fully define what a DecisionPlan is, 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?
The description explicitly says to use this tool when the caller needs the plan summary without the full decision envelope, providing clear context. It does not explicitly name alternatives but implies them.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
poll_jobBInspect
Wait for an async simulation job to reach a terminal state. Returns the final result when the job completes, or the terminal status when it fails, is cancelled, or times out.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| job_id | Yes | UUID of the async job | |
| timeout_seconds | No | Maximum wall-clock time to wait before returning a timed_out response. | |
| poll_interval_seconds | No | Delay between status checks while the job is still queued or running. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses that the tool waits for a terminal state and handles completion, failure, cancellation, and timeout. However, no annotations are provided, and the description lacks details on blocking behavior, error handling for invalid job IDs, or side effects. Adequate but not comprehensive.
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 concise sentences that front-load the key action and follow up with result behaviors. No filler 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 no output schema, the description explains return outcomes (final result, terminal status, timeout). It covers terminal states but could be more explicit about continuous polling behavior. Still, it is sufficiently complete for a relatively simple polling 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 coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for all three parameters (job_id, timeout_seconds, poll_interval_seconds). The tool description does not add additional meaning beyond summarizing the parameters. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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 it waits for an async simulation job to reach a terminal state and returns the final result or terminal status. The verb 'wait for' and resource 'async simulation job' are specific. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like get_job_status or cancel_job, so purpose is clear but not fully differentiated.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_job_status (non-blocking) or cancel_job. The description implies it is for blocking waits, but does not state prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
preview_browse_connectorAInspect
Browse one inline connector definition without saving it to discover files, tables, endpoints, or items.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| config | No | ||
| connector_type | Yes |
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 the tool does not save, indicating read-only behavior. It also states the output is discovered items, but does not detail potential side effects or rate limits. Overall, it is fairly transparent for a preview 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 that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose, with all essential information front-loaded. No redundant or missing 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's simplicity (2 params, no output schema, no annotations), the description provides adequate context but lacks parameter documentation and output details. It could be more complete by describing what 'inline connector definition' means and what the discovered items look like.
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. However, it does not mention the parameters (config and connector_type) or explain how they relate to the 'inline connector definition'. The description adds no semantic value beyond what the schema's type constraints provide.
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 browses one inline connector definition without saving, to discover files, tables, endpoints, or items. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'browse_connector' which likely works on saved connectors, and 'preview_test_connector' which might be a different preview 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?
The description implies usage when you have an unsaved connector definition to preview, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like 'browse_connector' for saved connectors. It provides clear context without exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
preview_test_connectorAInspect
Run a real connectivity test for one inline connector definition without saving it.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| config | No | ||
| connector_type | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
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 discloses that the test is 'real' (actually connects), which is behavioral context. But it lacks details about side effects (e.g., network calls, no state changes) and what happens on failure.
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, direct sentence conveys the essential purpose without wasted words. Perfectly concise and 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 is a test operation with 2 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too sparse. It does not explain what the test returns, error conditions, or prerequisites. The agent may struggle to interpret results or handle failures.
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 elaborate on the parameters. While 'inline connector definition' hints at the config object, it fails to explain the purpose of 'connector_type' or the structure of 'config'. This leaves the agent without sufficient guidance for parameter values.
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 ('Run a real connectivity test'), the resource ('inline connector definition'), and the condition ('without saving it'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'test_connector' which presumably tests a saved connector.
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 context: use this tool when you want to test a connector without persisting it. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternative tools, missing an opportunity to guide the agent more precisely.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| context | No | ||
| max_steps | No | ||
| output_format | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It only states it 'runs' a helper and returns a compact result, omitting side effects, idempotency, permissions, or failure modes.
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 it lacks structure and critical details. Every sentence should add value; this one is too vague to fully earn its place.
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 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not clarify the tool's inputs, outputs, or behavior, leaving significant gaps for agent understanding.
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% (no parameter descriptions), and the description does not explain any parameter (e.g., task, tools, context). The description adds no value beyond the schema's 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?
The description states the verb 'Run' and resource 'product task-execution helper', indicating it executes a task. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'product_decision' or 'create_agent_run', which could cause 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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create_agent_run, product_decision). No when-not-to-use or exclusion criteria provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
product_decisionCInspect
Run the simple product decision helper and return the chosen action plus risk summary.

| objective | No | ||
| scenarios | No | ||
| risk_tolerance | No |
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 full burden. It only states that the tool runs and returns an action and risk summary, with no disclosure of side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or any other behavioral traits. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotations.
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 of 12 words, which is efficient and front-loaded. However, it omits important details that could justify a longer description.
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, no output schema, and many siblings, the description is too sparse. It fails to specify input constraints, output format, or how to properly invoke the tool. The agent would struggle to use it correctly without additional 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 description coverage is very low (17%, only 'inputs' has a description). The tool description does not explain any parameters beyond the general purpose. The parameters 'label', 'engine', 'objective', 'scenarios', 'risk_tolerance' are not described, leaving the agent guessing their meaning and 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 the verb 'Run' and the resource 'simple product decision helper', and indicates the output 'chosen action plus risk summary'. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'execute_decision', 'plan_decision', or 'recommend', which may have similar purposes.
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, no prerequisites, and no context. Given the many decision-related siblings (e.g., 'execute_decision', 'plan_decision', 'recommend'), this is a significant gap.

| history | Yes | ||
| horizon | No | ||
| seasonality | No | ||
| confidence_level | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It only states that the tool 'runs' a forecast, failing to mention whether it is read-only, what side effects exist, authorization needs, or output format. The behavioral transparency is minimal.
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, which is concise but insufficient for a tool with 5 parameters and no schema descriptions. It is under-specified relative to the tool's complexity, so it fails to earn its place with necessary detail.
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 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the forecasting output, parameter constraints, or expected behavior, leaving the agent with minimal context to invoke 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. However, it only references 'historical metric series', which loosely maps to 'metric' and 'history' parameters, but offers no details for 'horizon', 'seasonality', or 'confidence_level'. The other three parameters remain undocumented, adding minimal semantic value.
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 ('Run') and the resource ('simple product forecast helper') and specifies it operates on a 'historical metric series'. This gives a clear verb+resource combination, but it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'product_agent_run' or 'simulate_repository'.
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, exclusions, or context-specific scenarios, leaving the agent without decision support for tool selection.

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 and thus concise, but it is too brief to be useful. It lacks structure and fails to provide essential information. Conciseness is not beneficial at the expense of clarity.
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, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the return format, the meaning of constraints, or how iterations affect the optimization. The tool requires much more context for effective use.
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 parameters, meaning no property descriptions. The tool description does not explain any parameter (objective, variables, iterations, constraints, engine) beyond their presence in the schema. This leaves the agent with no understanding of how to fill them correctly.
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 states the tool runs an optimization helper and returns best variable values, which conveys a basic purpose. However, it uses the vague phrase 'simple product optimization helper' without specifying what is being optimized or how, and does not differentiate from sibling tools like product_decision or product_forecast.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools include other product-related functions, but the description provides no context or exclusions, leaving the agent to guess the appropriate use case.

| rerank | No | ||
| documents | No | ||
| collection_id | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavior. It only states it 'runs' the helper, with no disclosure of side effects, idempotency, permissions, or whether it is read-only. This is insufficient for an unannotated tool.
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 redundancy. It is concise, though it could benefit from a slightly more structured format breaking down behavior and parameters.
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, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain return values, how 'top_k' or 'rerank' affect results, or the behavior when both 'documents' and 'collection_id' are provided. The tool's complexity demands more detail.
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 some context for 'documents' and 'collection_id' by implying they are alternative inputs. However, for 'query', 'top_k', and 'rerank', no additional meaning is provided beyond what can be inferred from their names. Schema coverage is 0%, so the description partially compensates.
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 uses 'Run the simple product retrieval helper' which indicates a retrieval operation. It specifies it works over caller-supplied documents or a collection id, clarifying the input. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like product_agent_run or product_decision.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

| checkpoint_id | No | ||
| policy_snapshot_id | No | ||
| schema_snapshot_id | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior beyond purpose. It only states 'Query persisted checkpoints' without mentioning read-only nature, pagination, or other effects. The schema has pagination parameters (page, limit) but the description ignores them.
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, which is concise but lacks essential detail. It is not verbose, but the brevity sacrifices utility. A minimal viable description should be longer to cover critical 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 8 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is woefully incomplete. It does not explain how to filter by run_id, status, etc., what the response contains, or how pagination works. The tool is underdocumented for an AI agent to use 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter descriptions in the schema. The tool description adds no explanation for any of the 8 parameters, leaving their semantics entirely unclear. The description does not compensate for the schema gap.
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 uses a specific verb 'Query' and identifies the resource as 'persisted checkpoints across Algenta agent runs'. It hints at multi-run scope, distinguishing from sibling 'get_agent_run_checkpoints'. However, it could be clearer about the exact nature of checkpoints and the cross-run aspect.
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. Sibling tools like 'get_agent_run_checkpoints' likely serve single-run queries, but the description doesn't clarify the distinction or provide context for selection.

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 core purpose. It is front-loaded and earns its place, though it could be slightly expanded for clarity without losing conciseness.
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 8 parameters, no output schema, and no parameter descriptions, the tool's description is insufficient. It does not explain what 'canonical mission-event records' entail, how pagination works with page/limit, or the meaning of status values. The description leaves significant ambiguity 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?
With 0% schema description coverage for 8 parameters, the description adds minimal semantic value beyond parameter names. It provides context that these are 'mission-event records across agent runs' but does not explain individual parameters like run_id, status, or event_type criteria.
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 queries 'canonical mission-event records across persisted Algenta agent runs', using a specific verb and resource. It hints at distinction from similar tools like get_agent_run_events by emphasizing cross-run and 'canonical' events, though not explicitly contrasting with siblings.
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 guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool vs alternatives like get_agent_run_events or list_agent_runs, nor does it specify prerequisites or limitations.
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 provided, so description carries full burden. It only states it is a query, but does not disclose pagination behavior, rate limits, or any side effects. Minimal 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?
Single sentence of 8 words, to the point. 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 complexity of 9 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is far too minimal. It does not explain return format, filtering logic, or pagination, leaving the agent underinformed.
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%, yet the description adds no explanation for any of the 9 parameters. Parameters like 'page', 'limit', 'run_id', 'status' are left entirely unexplained.
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 queries runtime telemetry batches across persisted agent runs, and the verb 'Query' is specific. It distinguishes from sibling 'get_agent_run_telemetry' which targets a single run.
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 versus alternatives like 'query_agent_run_checkpoints' or 'get_agent_run_telemetry'. No exclusions or prerequisites mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
query_batchAInspect
Execute several governed exact queries in one API call. Use this for multi-metric prompts after choosing a dataset with list_data and get_data_summary. Each item reuses the same structured query contract as query_data; defaults may provide shared dataset_id, filter, limit, and order.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| queries | Yes | ||
| defaults | No | Optional shared exact-query fields applied to each item before execution. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Mentions 'governed exact queries' and reuse of query_data contract, but lacks details on failure behavior, rate limits, or partial success.
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 concise sentences with clear structure: purpose first, then usage and parameter context. No superfluous 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?
Covers essential purpose and basic usage, but omits output format, error handling, and batch size limits. With 2 parameters and nested objects, more detail would be beneficial.
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 50%. Description explains the relationship between batch items and defaults, adding meaning beyond the schema. However, does not detail all nested fields.
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 'Execute several governed exact queries in one API call' with specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from sibling tools like query_data by indicating batch operation and reusing query contract.
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 recommends using after list_data and get_data_summary for multi-metric prompts. Provides context on when to use, but does not explicitly exclude single-query scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
query_dataAInspect
Execute a structured query against connected data sources. Convert the user's question to a structured intent and call this tool — do NOT try to write SQL or parse column names yourself. The engine resolves column meaning from mathematical relationships and statistical structure only. It works on any dataset without configuration. The governed filter shape is a record-predicate contract over normalized rows, not a SQL predicate language, so it also applies to Redis and other non-SQL sources.
Structural roles (use in metric.role):
derived_measure: the main financial/operational aggregate (revenue, spend, value)
base_measure: counts, quantities, discrete amounts
unit_measure: per-unit prices, rates
ratio: percentages, margins, fill rates (0-1 range)
metric: let the engine pick the best numeric column
If clarification_required is true, or if confidence < 0.85, check the candidates list and ask the user to clarify. Never fabricate column names or SQL.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Top-N limit. Use for 'top 5 customers' type questions. | |
| order | No | desc | |
| filter | No | ||
| metric | No | What to measure. | |
| sources | No | Data sources to query. Usually omitted when dataset_id is provided. | |
| group_by | No | Dimension words from the user's question (e.g. ['customer', 'region']). The engine finds the best matching column. | |
| dataset_id | No | Preferred path. dataset_id returned by connect_data or list_data. | |
| aggregation | No | How to aggregate the metric column. | sum |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description explains core behavior: the engine resolves columns via mathematical/statistical relationships, works on any dataset without configuration, and uses a record-predicate contract for filtering. It clarifies that the filter is not SQL. However, it does not explicitly state whether the tool is read-only or mention side effects, though the 'query' context implies it is safe.
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: purpose first, then usage prohibition, engine behavior, filter behavior, metric roles, and confidence guidance. It is moderately long but every section adds value. Minor redundancy (e.g., 'never fabricate column names' repeats earlier instruction) but overall efficient for the tool's complexity.
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 8 parameters, nested objects, and no output schema, the description covers input usage well but lacks any description of the return value or output format. It also does not mention prerequisites (e.g., data must be connected first) or error handling. For a complex query tool, the omission of output details is a notable gap.
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 75% (6 of 8 params have descriptions), but the description adds valuable context beyond schema: it explains how to use metric roles, the filter structure, best practices for sources (e.g., 'use source_id/table for registered sources'), and the 'governed filter shape' concept. This helps the agent understand parameter semantics and usage patterns.
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 'Execute a structured query against connected data sources' (specific verb+resource). It distinguishes itself by instructing not to write SQL or parse column names, implying it is a higher-level abstraction that works on any dataset, including non-SQL sources like Redis. This differentiates it from potential siblings like query_sql_report.
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 gives explicit guidance: 'Convert the user's question to a structured intent and call this tool — do NOT try to write SQL or parse column names yourself.' It also provides context on when to use clarification (if confidence < 0.85). However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools for SQL or other query types, which would improve clarity.
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 present, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention side effects, permissions, rate limits, or whether the operation is read-only. The agent lacks crucial information about the tool's behavior 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no fluff, which is concise. However, it sacrifices informativeness for brevity, scoring a moderate 3 for structure.
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 (8 parameters, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It fails to explain return values, parameter interactions, or the nature of the graph edges, leaving significant gaps for the 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 description coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on any of the 8 parameters. It adds no meaning beyond the schema, leaving the agent to infer parameter usage without further context.
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 specifies the verb 'query' and resource 'persisted repository snapshot', and identifies the specific types of graph edges (dependency, dependent, change-risk). This distinguishes it from sibling query tools like query_data or query_agent_run_checkpoints.
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, nor are there any prerequisites or exclusions mentioned. The description does not differentiate usage context from other query tools in the sibling list.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
query_sql_reportAInspect
Execute a constrained read-only SQL rowset query over authorized datasets. Use this only for wide reports that do not fit the governed exact-query surface. SQL must be a single SELECT/WITH statement over the provided dataset aliases.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| sql | Yes | Single read-only SELECT or WITH statement. | |
| sources | Yes | Authorized datasets made available to the SQL report. | |
| max_rows | No | Optional row cap, up to the API maximum. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations; description states read-only nature and SQL constraint but lacks details on authorization specifics, error behavior, or output format.
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, no extraneous words, front-loaded with 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?
No output schema; description mentions 'rowset query' but not exact return format, error handling, or pagination. Adequate for simple tool but could elaborate on results.
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). Description adds SQL constraint but does not significantly deepen understanding 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?
Description clearly states verb ('Execute'), resource ('constrained read-only SQL rowset query'), and differentiates from siblings with 'do not fit the governed exact-query surface'.
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 says 'Use this only for wide reports that do not fit the governed exact-query surface' and constrains SQL to 'single SELECT/WITH statement', providing clear when-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
recommendAInspect
Compare multiple named actions/options and get a ranked recommendation. Use when you need to choose between two or more alternatives with uncertainty.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| actions | Yes | List of options to compare (minimum 2) | |
| n_simulations | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must carry full behavioral transparency. It states it returns a ranked recommendation but does not disclose that it uses Monte Carlo simulation (implied by n_simulations), nor does it mention performance implications, input validation, or the nature of the output (e.g., probabilistic scores). This is a moderate gap.
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: first declares purpose, second provides usage guidance. No redundant or vague language. 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?
The tool has 2 parameters, no output schema, and moderate complexity. The description omits the simulation aspect, does not describe the output format (e.g., list with scores), and fails to clarify that actions require variable bounds for uncertainty. This is insufficient for an agent to use the tool correctly without additional inference.
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 50%; the actions parameter has some description, but n_simulations has none. The tool description says 'compare multiple named actions/options' which maps to actions, but does not explain the variables subparameter or the role of n_simulations. This leaves agents guessing about how to set simulation 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 tool compares multiple named actions/options and produces a ranked recommendation. It explicitly distinguishes itself by specifying the use case of choosing between alternatives with uncertainty, differentiating it from siblings like 'compare' or 'score'.
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 a clear usage cue: 'Use when you need to choose between two or more alternatives with uncertainty.' This tells the agent when to invoke it. However, it does not mention alternatives like 'simulate' or 'compare', which could be similar, slightly reducing clarity.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
record_outcomeAInspect
Close the feedback loop: record what actually happened after a decision was made. Sets actual_outcome and computes outcome_delta = actual - expected. Over time this data measures prediction accuracy and reveals systematic biases.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| decision_id | Yes | Decision ID from log_decision or list_decisions. | |
| outcome_notes | No | Optional explanation of what happened and why. | |
| actual_outcome | Yes | The observed real-world outcome value. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions setting actual_outcome and computing outcome_delta, but does not address idempotency, overwrite behavior, error handling, or authorization requirements. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
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 action. It is concise but could be slightly more compact. The metaphor 'close the feedback loop' adds clarity without unnecessary detail.
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 output schema and moderate complexity, the description explains the delta computation but lacks details on return values, error states, and idempotency. It is adequate for basic understanding but not fully 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 coverage is 100% with descriptions for all three parameters. The description adds value by clarifying that decision_id comes from log_decision or list_decisions, and outcome_notes is optional, going 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: recording actual outcomes after decisions, computing delta, and measuring prediction accuracy. It uses a specific verb (record) and resource (outcome), and distinguishes from siblings like log_decision and plan_decision by focusing on feedback loop.
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 after a decision is made ('close the feedback loop'), but does not explicitly state when to use or not to use this tool versus siblings. No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
refresh_creditsCInspect
Issue a compatibility credit batch for a quota-governed managed runtime.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| device_id | Yes | ||
| credits_used | No | ||
| billing_period | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It only states what the tool does ('Issue a compatibility credit batch') but does not disclose side effects, idempotency, authorization needs, or what happens on failure. This is insufficient for safe invocation.
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, which is concise. However, the information density is low; the sentence does not provide enough value to justify its brevity. It is not overly long but also not sufficiently informative.
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 3 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is extremely sparse. It does not explain return values, effects on the system, or parameter meanings. This is highly incomplete for a tool that likely performs a sensitive billing operation.
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 elaborate on parameters. However, it fails to describe any of the three parameters (device_id, credits_used, billing_period) or their roles. The description adds no 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?
Description uses a specific verb 'Issue' and resource 'compatibility credit batch', and provides context with 'quota-governed managed runtime'. However, the meaning of 'compatibility credit batch' is not immediately clear, and the tool's purpose could be better differentiated from similar tools like get_usage or ingest_metering_events.
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 versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, conditions, or scenarios where this tool is appropriate or not. The description lacks any usage direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
refresh_dataAInspect
Refresh a saved dataset from its original database/API/object-store origin.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| dataset_id | Yes | Dataset ID from connect_data or list_data. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description states it refreshes from original origin but does not disclose potential destructive behavior (e.g., overwriting data), permissions needed, or side effects. Lacks detail on what exactly happens during refresh.
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, front-loaded, no wasted words. Efficiently communicates the core 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?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is mostly complete. It does not specify outcomes (e.g., success/failure behavior) or async nature, but given simplicity, coverage is high.
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 a single required parameter 'dataset_id' well-described in the schema. Description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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 refreshes a saved dataset from its original source. The verb 'refresh' and resource 'saved dataset' are specific and distinguish from siblings like 'connect_data' (initial connection) and 'onboard_dataset' (initial setup).
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, prerequisites, or when not to use. Sibling tools include many data-related operations but description offers no differentiation or context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
register_sourceAInspect
Advanced tool. Register a data source and get full schema profiling + join detection. Profiles every column (type, cardinality, fill rate, distribution). Detects formula relationships (A×B≈C) within the source. Detects join keys to every already-registered source automatically. After registration the source is queryable by name via query_data. Safe to call multiple times — re-registration is a no-op if data is unchanged.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| source | Yes | Data source definition. Provide exactly one of: records, csv, json_str, url. | |
| description | No | Optional human description of this source. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behaviors: profiling every column, detecting formula relationships and join keys, and that re-registration is a no-op. It doesn't mention required permissions or rate limits, but the provided traits are sufficient for typical use.
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, coherent paragraph with front-loaded purpose. It conveys all necessary information in about six sentences, with no fluff. Could be slightly more structured with bullet points, but current format is acceptable.
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 (nested input, no output schema), the description covers the main outcomes: profiling and join detection. It mentions queryability. It could detail the output format more, but the lack of output schema is compensated by the description's claims about what the tool produces.
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 overall context (profiling, join detection) but does not explain each parameter's nuances beyond what the schema already provides. No contradiction or additional meaningful detail for individual 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 tool's purpose: registering a data source and performing schema profiling and join detection. It uses specific verbs ('register', 'profile', 'detect') and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by describing unique outcomes like queryability and join key detection.
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 context: register a source to make it queryable via query_data. It mentions safe re-registration. However, it doesn't explicitly state when not to use this tool or list alternatives among siblings (e.g., connect_data, ingest_data), though the advanced label hints at careful use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
register_triggerAInspect
Register a real-time trigger that watches a data source for a threshold condition. When the condition is met, the engine auto-runs the simulation template and optionally fires a webhook. Examples: 'alert me when monthly revenue drops below $80k', 'simulate expansion if Downtown revenue exceeds $200k'.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Human-readable trigger name. | |
| condition | Yes | Threshold condition to watch. | |
| description | No | Human-readable description of what this trigger monitors. | |
| webhook_url | No | Optional HTTPS URL to POST results to when the trigger fires. | |
| auto_execute | No | When true, automatically dispatch the decision plan to execution_webhook_url after the trigger fires. | |
| simulation_template | Yes | SimulateRequest-compatible payload to run when trigger fires. | |
| execution_webhook_url | No | Optional HTTPS URL to POST the DecisionPlan execution payload to when auto_execute is enabled. |
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 mentions auto-running simulation and optional webhook, but does not address side effects (e.g., persistent background job, billing implications, deduplication, or retry behavior). Some behavioral details are missing.
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 plus examples, highly concise and front-loaded. The first sentence states the core purpose, the second adds key detail and examples. 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?
For a tool with 7 parameters, nested objects, and no output schema, the description covers the main workflow but is incomplete regarding error handling, idempotency, activation state, and interaction with sibling tools like update (which doesn't exist). Adequate but not thorough.
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 parameter semantics are already clear from the input schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's field descriptions, fulfilling the baseline but not exceeding it.
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 ('register a real-time trigger'), the resource ('trigger'), and the purpose ('watches a data source for a threshold condition... auto-runs the simulation template'). It includes concrete examples, distinguishing it from sibling tools like fire_trigger or delete_trigger.
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 automated threshold monitoring but does not explicitly state when to use versus alternatives (e.g., when to register vs. fire vs. pause). It also omits prerequisites like having the data source already registered or any constraints.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
remove_team_memberBInspect
Remove one team member from the current organization by user id.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| user_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It does not disclose consequences (e.g., permanent removal, notifications), permissions required, or side effects beyond the basic action.
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 clear sentence that gets straight to the point. It is concise without being overly terse, though additional context would be beneficial.
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 tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but lacks important context such as permissions, effects (e.g., cascade deletion), and behavior on invalid input.
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 only mentions 'by user id', which is already evident from the required user_id parameter. With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds minimal semantic 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?
The description clearly states the action 'remove', the resource 'team member', and the method 'by user id'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like invite_team_member, list_team_members, and update_team_member_role.
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 versus alternatives, no prerequisites (e.g., permissions), and no mention of constraints (e.g., cannot remove self).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| model | No | embeddings.cosine_similarity | |
| top_n | No | ||
| documents | Yes | ||
| query_embedding | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only mentions 'deterministically', indicating consistent ordering. It does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, any authorization needs, rate limits, or side effects like state modification.
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, which is concise, but it omits critical information. It is underspecified rather than efficiently structured, as every sentence should add 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 four parameters, two required, no output schema, no annotations, and no parameter descriptions, the description is severely incomplete. It does not cover return values, behavior, or constraints, making it insufficient for an agent to correctly invoke it.
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%, meaning the input schema has no descriptions for parameters. The tool description does not explain any of the four parameters (query_embedding, documents, model, top_n), leaving their semantics entirely unclear.
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 'Rerank caller-supplied document embeddings deterministically' clearly states the action (rerank) and the resource (document embeddings). It is specific and differentiates from siblings like 'embedding_similarity' which computes similarity rather than reordering. However, it could be more explicit about what 'rerank' entails (e.g., reorder by similarity to query).
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 like 'embedding_similarity', 'score', or 'compare'. It does not mention prerequisites, context, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resolve_artifact_bridgeBInspect
Resolve a Hugging Face artifact path through the Algenta compatibility-ring artifact bridge. Defaults to cache-only lookup and never downloads unless local_files_only=false.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| repo_id | Yes | ||
| filename | Yes | ||
| revision | No | ||
| local_files_only | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals the caching behavior and default not-downloading policy. However, it omits other important traits like authentication requirements, idempotency, potential side effects, or error behavior. This partial disclosure is adequate but not thorough.
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 with two short sentences. The first sentence states the core purpose, and the second adds a critical behavioral detail. There is no redundancy or 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 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficiently complete. It lacks explanation of what the resolution produces, error scenarios (e.g., file not found), and the concept of the Algenta artifact bridge. An agent would have significant gaps in understanding how to use this 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?
The schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. Only the parameter 'local_files_only' is indirectly explained through the behavior statement. The required parameters repo_id, filename, and optional revision receive no explanatory value beyond their names, leaving the agent uninformed about their format or purpose.
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 Hugging Face artifact path through the Algenta bridge, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not define what 'resolve' returns (e.g., a URL, file content, or metadata), leaving some ambiguity about the output.
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 some usage guidance by stating the default cache-only behavior and condition for downloading (local_files_only=false). However, it does not compare this tool to any sibling tools or explain when to prefer this over alternatives, such as other repository-related tools in the sibling list.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
responsesDInspect
Run the unified Algenta utility response surface over deterministic tokenization or lexical embeddings.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| input | Yes | ||
| model | No | text.tokenizer | |
| dimensions | No |
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 mentions running over 'deterministic tokenization or lexical embeddings' but does not state whether the tool is read-only, what side effects occur, or what output is returned. Key behavioral traits are missing.
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, which is concise, but it sacrifices clarity and structure. It fails to front-load key information or organize details usefully for an agent.
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 output schema, no annotations, and high complexity, the description provides almost no contextual completeness. It does not explain return values, parameter usage, or the nature of 'response surface', leaving agents severely underinformed.
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 3 parameters with 0% description coverage, and the tool description adds no explanation for 'input', 'model', or 'dimensions'. Parameter meaning and constraints are entirely absent beyond schema types.
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 uses opaque jargon like 'unified Algenta utility response surface' without explanation, making the tool's purpose unclear. The verb 'Run' is generic, and it's not evident what the tool actually produces or how it differs from siblings like 'embeddings' or 'tokenize'.
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. Sibling tools such as 'embeddings' and 'tokenize' are listed, but the description offers no comparative context or usage recommendations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
resume_agent_runCInspect
Resume a paused Algenta agent run.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| run_id | Yes |
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 responsibility. It only states the basic state change (resuming a paused run), omitting side effects, required permissions, or error conditions.
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 with no superfluous words. However, it lacks structured detail that could improve usability.
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 (one parameter, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It fails to explain what 'resume' entails, return values, or prerequisites like the run being paused.
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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should add parameter meaning, but it does not mention run_id at all. The parameter name is self-explanatory, but the description adds no 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?
The description clearly states the action (resume) and the resource (paused Algenta agent run). It distinguishes from sibling tools like cancel_agent_run, create_agent_run, and get_agent_run, which perform different 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?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. It does not specify that the run must be paused first, nor does it mention that it cannot be applied to already running runs.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
retrain_datasetAInspect
Re-trigger semantic training for a dataset. Use after schema changes, alias updates, or to force a fresh model build.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| epochs | No | ||
| dataset_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It indicates that training is triggered, implying a potentially long-running or asynchronous operation, but it does not disclose side effects (e.g., invalidation of cached results), resource consumption, or whether the call returns a result immediately. Some context is provided but insufficient for full 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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the core action and context. Every sentence adds value; no redundant or vague phrasing.
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 description lacks guidance on return behavior or output. Since there is no output schema, the agent needs hints (e.g., returns a job ID, polling required). It also does not address prerequisites (e.g., dataset must exist) or side effects. For a retraining tool this is a significant gap.
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, so the description must explain parameters. It mentions 'schema changes, alias updates' as use cases but does not explain the 'epochs' parameter (e.g., what it controls, default behavior) or clarify that 'dataset_id' identifies the target. The description adds minimal 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 uses a specific verb ('Re-trigger semantic training') and clearly identifies the resource ('dataset'). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'onboard_dataset' or 'refresh_data' by focusing on retraining after schema changes or alias updates.
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 states when to use: 'after schema changes, alias updates, or to force a fresh model build.' This provides clear context for appropriate usage, though it does not mention when not to use or compare with alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
revoke_api_keyCInspect
Revoke one API key by id.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| key_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

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 very concise at five words, with no wasted language. However, the extreme brevity sacrifices necessary context that could be added 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 the simple tool, the description is incomplete. It does not describe the return value (e.g., success status) or error conditions. Without an output schema, the agent cannot predict the tool's response.
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% parameter description coverage, and the description only says 'by id'. It does not clarify what key_id represents (e.g., the key string or a database ID) or how to obtain it. This adds minimal 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?
The description clearly states the action (revoke) and target (API key by id). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like create_api_key and list_api_keys by specifying a destructive operation on an existing key.
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 guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites like key existence or required permissions.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides three use cases (quantifying risk, comparing outcomes, getting recommendations), implying when to use. But lacks explicit guidance on when not to use, prerequisites, or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
simulate_repositoryCInspect
Simulate repository patch risk and return the gated DecisionEnvelope, resolving snapshot_id from the decision plan when omitted.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| runs | No | ||
| seed | No | ||
| snapshot_id | No | ||
| repository_id | Yes | ||
| decision_plan_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It states the tool simulates risk and returns a DecisionEnvelope, and that snapshot_id is resolved from the decision plan when omitted. This implies a read-only simulation but doesn't explicitly confirm safety or permissions. It adds some value beyond the schema but lacks comprehensive 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 a single sentence of 14 words, highly concise and front-loaded. However, it is dense and could benefit from clearer separation of purpose and parameter behavior. Still, every word 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 no output schema or annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the DecisionEnvelope return value, the purpose of runs and seed parameters, or any prerequisites. For a tool with multiple dependencies, more context is needed for effective 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?
Schema description coverage is 0% for 5 parameters. The description only addresses the snapshot_id parameter by mentioning resolution from decision plan. Other critical parameters like runs, seed, repository_id, and decision_plan_id are not explained. This is insufficient for correct parameter 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 specifies the verb 'simulate', resource 'repository patch risk', and output 'gated DecisionEnvelope'. It also mentions resolving snapshot_id. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like 'simulate_repository_patch', which appears identical in name.
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. The description implies simulation context but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use statements. Sibling tools are present but not contrasted.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
simulate_repository_patchCInspect
Simulate an in-flight repository patch and return the canonical repository envelope.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| confidence | No | ||
| patch_diff | Yes | ||
| snapshot_id | Yes | ||
| repository_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It only mentions simulation and return of an envelope, but does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, has side effects, requires specific permissions, or has any behavioral traits like idempotency or rate limits.
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, which makes it concise. However, it lacks necessary detail, so the brevity comes at the expense of informativeness. It is not overly long but could be restructured to include more key information in a compact manner.
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 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the return value structure, expected input formats, error conditions, or any side effects. This leaves the agent with insufficient information 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the schema provides no descriptions for the four parameters. The tool description does not explain what 'repository_id', 'snapshot_id', 'patch_diff', or 'confidence' mean or how they should be used, failing to add value beyond the parameter names.
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 simulates an in-flight repository patch and returns the canonical repository envelope. This provides a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from generic sibling tools like 'simulate' or 'simulate_repository'. However, the term 'in-flight' is somewhat vague without further context.
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 such as 'simulate', 'simulate_repository', or 'run_repository_pipeline'. The description lacks context for appropriate usage scenarios or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
submit_jobAInspect
Submit a long-running async simulation job. Use for n_simulations > 500,000 or when you need a callback. Returns a job_id — poll with get_job_status.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| objective | No | maximize | |
| variables | Yes | ||
| callback_url | No | Webhook URL for completion notification | |
| n_simulations | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries burden. States async nature, returns job_id, and references polling workflow. Lacks details on side effects, error handling, or rate limits, but adequate for a submission tool.
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, front-loaded with action and purpose, then conditions, output, and follow-up instruction. 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?
Covers core aspects: submission, async, callback, polling. Missing details on required parameters, defaults, and validation, but fine for a tool with a clear follow-up.
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 only 25% (only callback_url has description). The description does not explain parameters like objective, variables, or n_simulations beyond a usage threshold. Fails to compensate for low schema coverage.
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 the action (submit), resource (long-running async simulation job), and scope (for n_simulations > 500,000 or when callback needed). Differentiates from sibling tools like cancel_job, get_job_status, etc.
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 specific thresholds for use (n_simulations > 500,000 or callback requirement). Implicitly suggests not using for small jobs, but does not contrast with alternatives like 'simulate' or 'batch'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
test_capability_bindingCInspect
Test a saved capability binding or preview-test an unsaved one.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| scope_ref | No | ||
| binding_id | No | ||
| profile_id | No | ||
| provider_id | No | ||
| execution_owner | No | ||
| customer_metadata | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits, but it only states the action without detailing what the test involves, such as whether it validates configuration, executes, returns outputs, or requires specific permissions. This leaves significant ambiguity for the agent.
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 conciseness. However, it could be slightly expanded to include key behavioral context without losing 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 the tool's complexity (8 parameters, objects, enums) and absence of output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It fails to explain how the test works, what parameters mean, or what the agent should expect as a result, making it insufficient 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 input schema has 8 parameters with zero description coverage, and the tool description provides no additional meaning for any parameter. The agent cannot infer parameter roles from the description alone.
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 specifies the verb 'test' and the resource 'capability binding', and distinguishes between testing a saved binding and preview-testing an unsaved one, which clearly sets it apart from sibling tools like 'execute_capability' or 'list_capability_bindings'.
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. It does not explain why one would choose 'test' over 'execute' or 'preview', nor does it mention any prerequisites or context for using it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
test_connectorAInspect
Run a real connectivity test for one saved connector and persist its live/error status.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| connector_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the test is 'real' (meaning it will actually attempt to connect, potentially slow) and that it 'persists' status (changing state). It does not mention permissions, idempotency, error handling, or side effects beyond updating status. The description is adequate for a simple tool but lacks depth.
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 of 12 words, immediately stating the action, resource, and outcome. Every word carries meaning ('Run', 'real', 'connectivity test', 'one saved connector', 'persist', 'live/error status'). There is no redundancy or extraneous information, making it highly 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's simplicity (one required parameter, no output schema), the description covers the main purpose and effect. However, it does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., the updated connector object, status message, or success/failure indication) or how to handle failures. The lack of output schema means the description should clarify the return value, which it does not.
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 only parameter, 'connector_id', has a 0% schema description coverage, meaning the input schema provides no description. The tool description does not elaborate on the parameter beyond implying it identifies a saved connector; it does not specify that it must exist, where to obtain it, or its type. The description adds minimal value over the parameter name.
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 ('Run a real connectivity test'), the resource ('for one saved connector'), and the outcome ('persist its live/error status'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'preview_test_connector' (which likely tests without persisting) and 'connect_data' (which connects data sources). The verb 'test' and the scope 'for one saved connector' are specific and 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 it should be used when you need to test a specific connector's connectivity and update its status. However, it does not explicitly state when to use versus alternatives such as 'preview_test_connector' or 'connect_data', nor does it mention prerequisites like requiring the connector to exist. The guidance is implicit but not thorough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
test_webhook_deliveryBInspect
Send a test webhook payload to a callback URL and return the delivery result.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| callback_url | Yes | URL that should receive the test webhook payload. |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. The description does not disclose behavioral details such as whether the operation is destructive, any authentication requirements, rate limits, or side effects. It only states the basic action.
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, 14 words, no fluff. Efficiently conveys 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?
The tool is simple with one parameter and no output schema. The description covers the basic intent but lacks details on return format, error cases, or behavior expectations, which would be helpful given no annotations.
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 a clear parameter description. The tool description adds minimal value beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
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: 'Send a test webhook payload to a callback URL and return the delivery result.' It specifies a specific verb and resource, and differentiates from sibling tools like test_connector or test_capability_binding.
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 versus alternatives. No mention of when not to use or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| input | Yes | ||
| model | No | text.tokenizer |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description mentions deterministic behavior but does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, safe, or any side effects.
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, no extraneous content. However, it is too minimal to be highly effective.
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?
No output schema or additional context. Fails to describe return value format or input constraints, leaving the agent underinformed.
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%. The description does not explain the 'input' parameter or the 'model' default value beyond mentioning the model name.
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 tokenizes UTF-8 text using a deterministic model. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling 'count_tokens' which may have similar behavior.
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 versus alternatives like 'count_tokens'. The description only states what it does without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
triage_repositoryCInspect
Triage a repository snapshot into a bounded workspace evidence bundle with suspect files and symbols.

| repository_id | Yes | ||
| max_snippet_lines | No | ||
| max_evidence_items | No |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present. The description mentions transformation (snapshot to bundle) but does not disclose side effects, permissions, or whether it is destructive. This is insufficient for a tool that likely creates or modifies state.
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. However, it is too brief to convey necessary information, sacrificing informativeness for conciseness. A slightly longer description would be more useful while remaining concise.
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 six parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the evidence bundle result, how parameters affect behavior, or any prerequisites. The agent lacks critical context to use this 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It does not mention any of the six parameters, including the required 'signals' object. The agent receives no guidance on what 'signals', 'token_budget', 'max_snippet_lines', or 'max_evidence_items' mean.
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 specifies the verb 'triage' and the resource 'repository snapshot' leading to an 'evidence bundle'. This is clear and distinguishes it from siblings like 'run_repository_fix' which are about fixes rather than evidence gathering. However, 'triage' could be more specific.
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 like 'simulate_repository' or 'create_repository_snapshot'. The agent must infer from the name and description alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| config | No | ||
| visibility | No | ||
| description | No | ||
| connector_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description states 'update' implying mutation but does not disclose behavioral traits like side effects, reversibility, or authentication requirements. For a mutation tool this is insufficient.
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 with no extraneous words. However, it lacks structure or emphasis; for 5 parameters and an object, more detail would justify a higher score. Still 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?
No output schema and no behavior description. Tool has 5 parameters and a complex 'config' object; description omits return information, error cases, and prerequisites. Incomplete for an update operation.
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%. Description lists the four updatable fields (name, description, visibility, config) but adds no detail beyond their names. The 'config' object and 'visibility' enum are not explained, failing to compensate for the schema gap.

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 only states 'update' without disclosing whether changes are incremental (only specified fields) or full replacement, what side effects occur, or any requirements. This is minimal behavioral 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 a single sentence with no wasted words, front-loaded with the verb. While it is concise, it sacrifices necessary 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?
The description is incomplete given the complexity: 4 unrequired parameters, no output schema, and no annotations. It fails to explain return values, side effects, or how parameters interact, leaving the agent underinformed.
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. It only says 'thresholds' and does not explain the purpose or effect of each parameter (risk_floor, min_confidence, etc.), leaving the agent to infer from parameter names only.
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 updates execution-policy thresholds for the active organization, distinguishing it from get_execution_policy (read) and list_execution_policy_snapshots (history). However, it does not explicitly differentiate from other update tools or mention alternative actions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

update_team_member_roleCInspect
Update one current organization team member role by user id.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| role | Yes | ||
| user_id | Yes |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Update' (implying mutation) but omits side effects, permission requirements, error handling, or constraints (e.g., cannot change the last owner). This is inadequate for a mutation tool.
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, front-loaded sentence that efficiently conveys the action, resource, and identifier. It is concise without waste, but could be more structured (e.g., separate sentences for clarity on constraints).
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 output schema and no annotations, the description is incomplete for a mutation tool. It lacks return value information, error scenarios, prerequisite conditions (e.g., user must be an existing team member), and the effect on the organization's team structure.
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, so the description must add meaning beyond parameter names and types. It adds only 'current organization' context. It does not explain the role enum values, validate the user_id format beyond minLength, or describe any relationships between 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 uses a specific verb ('Update') and clearly identifies the resource ('one current organization team member role') and the method ('by user id'). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like invite_team_member, remove_team_member, and list_team_members, which handle different 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 provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no conditions for when not to use it. Usage must be inferred from the name and parameters, which is insufficient for an AI agent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
