Tool DescriptionsA

Average 3.9/5 across 11 of 11 tools scored. Lowest: 3.2/5.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action (e.g., create webhook vs. delete file vs. get group). No two tools overlap in purpose, making it easy for an agent to select the correct one.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern: uploadcare_create_webhook, uploadcare_delete_file, etc. This predictability helps agents infer tool functions from names.

Tool Count5/5

With 11 tools, the server covers key areas (files, groups, webhooks, project) without being overwhelming. The count is well-scoped for a file management service.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers core file operations (get, delete, list, store, upload) but has gaps: missing update/delete for webhooks, create/delete for groups, and update for files. These omissions may force agents to use workarounds.

Available Tools

11 tools
uploadcare_create_webhookCreate webhookA
Destructive
Inspect

Creates a webhook subscription (additive). The project will POST to target_url when the chosen event fires. REST API: POST /webhooks/.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
eventNoEvent to subscribe to. Default "file.uploaded".
is_activeNoWhether the webhook is active. Default true.
target_urlYesURL the webhook will POST to.
Behavior4/5

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

The description adds 'additive' context beyond the destructiveHint annotation, clarifying that it adds a new subscription rather than overwriting. However, it does not disclose potential side effects like duplicate creation behavior.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is very concise with two sentences, no extra words. It front-loads the core action and efficiently includes the REST API endpoint for context.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple creation tool, the description is largely complete. It covers the action and event triggering. However, it lacks mention of what the response contains (e.g., webhook ID) or error scenarios, which would be helpful.

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% for all three parameters. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, such as format or constraints.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states it creates a webhook subscription, specifies it's additive, and mentions the target URL behavior. It distinctly differentiates from sibling tools like list_webhooks and delete_file.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for creating new webhooks but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_webhooks or delete_webhook. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.

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

uploadcare_delete_fileDelete fileA
Destructive
Inspect

Permanently deletes a file from the project. Destructive. REST API: DELETE /files/{uuid}/.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
uuidYesFile UUID to delete.
Behavior3/5

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

Destructive annotation (destructiveHint=true) already indicates mutation. Description adds 'Permanently deletes' and 'Destructive' but no additional behavioral traits beyond what annotations provide. No contradiction.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two concise sentences with no wasted words. Action is front-loaded and immediately clear.

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?

For a simple delete operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers all necessary context: permanence, destructiveness, and API endpoint reference.

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 for uuid is clear ('File UUID to delete'), and coverage is 100%. Description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema.

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?

Description clearly states 'Permanently deletes a file from the project' with a specific verb and resource. No sibling tool performs deletion, so it is well-differentiated.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites (e.g., file existence) or conditions under which deletion is appropriate.

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

uploadcare_get_fileGet fileA
Read-only
Inspect

Get full info for a single file: uuid, url, original_filename, size, mime_type, is_image, is_ready, timestamps, variations, content_info, metadata, tags. REST API: GET /files/{uuid}/.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
uuidYesFile UUID.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds context by listing returned fields and the REST API endpoint, enhancing understanding beyond annotations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences, no filler. Purpose is front-loaded, and every part adds value. Bullet-style list is efficient.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With a single parameter, high schema coverage, and readOnlyHint annotation, the description adequately covers what an agent needs. Listing returned fields compensates for lack of output schema.

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 the only parameter 'uuid' is described as 'File UUID.' The tool description does not add further meaning, 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.

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'full info for a single file', listing specific fields. It distinguishes from siblings like uploadcare_list_files (list) and uploadcare_get_file_metadata (presumably metadata-only).

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description indicates when to use (to retrieve full file info) but does not explicitly mention when not to use or provide alternatives. However, given sibling tools, the usage is implied.

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

uploadcare_get_file_metadataGet file metadataA
Read-only
Inspect

Get all custom metadata key/value pairs for a file. REST API: GET /files/{uuid}/metadata/.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
uuidYesFile UUID.
Behavior3/5

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

The description does not contradict the 'readOnlyHint' annotation. It adds minimal behavioral context beyond stating it gets metadata. With the annotation present, the description is sufficient but does not disclose additional traits like rate limits or authentication needs.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two concise sentences: the first states the purpose, the second provides the REST API endpoint. No unnecessary words, and both sentences are informative.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a simple read-only tool with one required parameter and annotations present, the description adequately covers what the tool does. It does not explain return format, but no output schema exists, so the added detail is sufficient.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The only parameter 'uuid' is described in the schema as 'File UUID.' The description does not add meaning beyond that. With 100% schema coverage, baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'get' and the resource 'file metadata', and specifies it returns 'all custom metadata key/value pairs for a file'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'uploadcare_get_file' which retrieves file details.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The purpose is clear from context, but there is no statement like 'use this to retrieve only custom metadata' or 'do not use to get file properties'.

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

uploadcare_get_groupGet groupA
Read-only
Inspect

Get info for a single file group by its id. REST API: GET /groups/{uuid}/.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
uuidYesGroup id in the form "<uuid>~<count>", e.g. "badfc9f7-...~2".
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so behavior is safe. Description adds REST API path but no additional behavioral traits like rate limits, authentication needs, or return format.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Two sentences, no wasted words. Front-loaded with purpose and REST API reference.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Simple tool with one parameter and no output schema. Description is adequate but could elaborate on what 'info' includes (e.g., metadata, files in group). Completeness is acceptable given tool simplicity.

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 has 100% coverage with detailed description of uuid format. Description adds REST endpoint but does not enhance meaning beyond schema.

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?

Clearly states it gets info for a single file group by id, distinguishing from siblings like list_groups and get_file. Uses specific verb 'Get' and specifies the resource 'file group'.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives. Mentions 'by its id' implying prerequisite, but lacks when-not-to-use or comparison with other group-related tools.

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

uploadcare_get_projectGet projectA
Read-only
Inspect

Get project details: name, public key, collaborators, and whether autostore is enabled. REST API: GET /project/.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

Behavior4/5

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

Parameters4/5

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

With zero parameters, the schema provides full coverage. The description adds value by detailing what information the tool returns, compensating for the lack of parameters.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool retrieves project details and specifies the returned fields (name, public key, collaborators, autostore enabled). It distinguishes this from sibling tools that handle webhooks, files, and groups.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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 vs alternatives. While the purpose is clear, there is no mention of when not to use it or related tools.

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

uploadcare_list_filesList filesB
Read-only
Inspect

List files in the project (paginated envelope: next, previous, total, per_page, results). REST API: GET /files/.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
fromNoPagination cursor taken from a previous response's `next` URL.
limitNoFiles per page (max 1000). Default 100.
storedNoFilter by stored status (true = stored, false = not stored).
removedNoFilter by removed status (true = removed, false = present).
orderingNoSort order, e.g. datetime_uploaded or -datetime_uploaded (descending).
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the tool's safety is clear. The description adds the pagination envelope structure (next, previous, total, per_page, results), which provides useful behavioral context beyond annotations. However, no additional traits like rate limits or response size are disclosed.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is two sentences with no wasted words. It front-loads the core purpose and follows with a concise reference to the REST API. Every sentence adds value.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given the tool is a list operation with pagination and no output schema, the description covers the return structure (paginated envelope). Parameters are fully documented in the schema. The description could mention that the list supports filters via parameters, but it's sufficient for an agent to understand usage.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The input schema has 100% description coverage for all parameters. The description does not add extra meaning beyond what the schema provides for each parameter. Baseline is 3, as the schema already handles parameter semantics adequately.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action (list) and resource (files in the project). It also mentions the paginated envelope and REST endpoint. While it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like get_file, the context implies it lists multiple files, making the purpose clear and specific.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like uploadcare_get_file for single file retrieval or other sibling tools. Usage is only implied by the listing nature, but no when-to-use or when-not-to-use criteria are given.

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

uploadcare_list_groupsList groupsA
Read-only
Inspect

List file groups in the project (paginated envelope: next, previous, total, per_page, results). REST API: GET /groups/.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

No explicit when-to-use or when-not, but the purpose is clear and siblings are distinct operations. The simplicity of a list operation makes alternatives obvious.

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

uploadcare_store_fileStore fileB
Destructive
Inspect

Marks a file as permanently stored (otherwise unstored files are deleted after 24h). Additive. REST API: PUT /files/{uuid}/storage/.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
uuidYesFile UUID to store.
Behavior1/5

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

The description claims the operation is 'Additive' (non-destructive), which contradicts the annotation destructiveHint: true. This creates confusion about the tool's effect.

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?

The description is very concise with two short sentences, no fluff. However, it could be structured more explicitly (e.g., separating behavior from API info).

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the core behavior. However, it lacks details on return values, errors, and idempotency, which are relevant for an AI agent.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the uuid parameter description is clear. The description adds REST API context but does not enhance parameter meaning beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Marks as permanently stored' and the resource 'file', distinguishing it from siblings like delete_file. It also includes the REST API endpoint for precise identification.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implicitly indicates when to use (to prevent deletion of unstored files) but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives like uploadcare_delete_file or uploadcare_get_file.

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

uploadcare_upload_from_urlUpload file from URLA
Destructive
Inspect

Uploads a file into the project from a public URL (additive). Uses the Upload API host with the public key. Returns { type: "token", token } for async ingestion (poll separately) or the file info. Upload API: POST /from_url/.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
storeNoStore the file: "1" = store, "0" = don't store, "auto" = project default. Default "auto".
filenameNoOverride the stored filename.
source_urlYesPublic URL of the file to ingest.
Behavior4/5

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

The description adds behavioral details beyond the 'destructiveHint: true' annotation: it specifies that the operation is additive (non-destructive in terms of existing data), uses a specific API host and public key, and returns responses for async polling. This is sufficient context for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is concise with three sentences, each providing distinct value: the action, the technical detail (API host/public key), and the return format. No unnecessary words are present, making it efficient.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given no output schema, the description adequately explains the return format (token or file info) and the need for async polling. It covers the main use case but lacks details on error handling, file size limits, or supported URL types. Overall, it is sufficiently complete for a tool with good schema annotations.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The input schema already provides 100% coverage with descriptions for all three parameters. The tool description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema contains, so it meets the baseline without surpassing it.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'uploads', the resource 'file into the project', and the source 'from a public URL'. It uniquely identifies this tool among siblings as the only upload tool, so there is no confusion with alternatives.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description indicates the tool should be used when you have a public URL to ingest into the project. However, it does not provide explicit guidance on when not to use it or how it compares to other tools, though no direct alternatives exist 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.
