Check SSL

check_ssl
Read-only

Fetches and evaluates a host's TLS certificate over a live handshake: subject, issuer, validity window, days until expiry, hostname match, chain trust, self-signed and expired flags, SANs, serial and SHA-256 fingerprint. Takes a hostname (not an IP address) and an optional port (default 443). A single sample taken now; HTTP behaviour is covered by website_status and the HSTS policy by hsts_check. Anonymous, rate-limited per IP; private and reserved addresses are refused.

  3. First observed

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only cover readOnly and openWorld, so the description carries real weight: it discloses the live handshake model, that results are a single point-in-time sample, that access is anonymous and rate-limited per IP, and that private/reserved addresses are refused. These are operational facts an agent cannot derive from the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two dense sentences, front-loaded with the verb and result set, then constraints and alternatives. Slightly overloaded on the field enumeration given an output schema already exists, but no sentence is wasted.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With an output schema covering return values and annotations covering safety, the description still supplies the missing pieces: input restrictions, rate limiting, sampling behaviour, and sibling routing. An agent has everything needed to call it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and both parameters are already documented in the schema (host, port with 443 default). The description restates the hostname-not-IP constraint but adds no format or syntax detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Opens with a specific verb+resource ("Fetches and evaluates a host's TLS certificate over a live handshake") and enumerates the evaluated attributes, so an agent knows exactly what it gets. It also explicitly carves out scope against siblings website_status and hsts_check.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

States the input constraint (hostname, not an IP), the optional port with its default, and names the two alternative tools with the condition that selects each (HTTP behaviour -> website_status, HSTS policy -> hsts_check). Nothing about when-to-use is left to inference.

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