dossier_headers

Core dossier check: Fetch https:/// and return all HTTP response headers, with an audit highlighting missing or misconfigured security headers. Use to review CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy; for redirect tracing use dossier_redirects instead. Single GET via fetch, 5 s timeout, captures raw response headers before any redirect is followed. Returns a CheckResult: on success, {status:"ok", headers:{...}, securityAudit:[{header, present, value},...]}; on failure, {status:"error", reason}.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description fully details behavior: single GET, 5s timeout, captures headers before redirects, and specifies both success and error response formats. This goes beyond basic mutation/safety disclosure and sets clear expectations.

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 front-loaded with the core purpose, then efficiently covers usage, behavior, and output format. Each sentence adds necessary information without redundancy, earning a high score despite being longer than minimal examples.

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?

Given no output schema, the description fully specifies the return contract (success and error objects). It also includes timeout and redirect behavior, making it comprehensive for a tool of this complexity.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, with the domain parameter fully described (FQDN, reject IPs/ports/paths). The description adds only usage context ('https://<domain>/') rather than new parameter semantics, so baseline 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 tool fetches HTTPS headers and audits security headers, with a specific verb and resource. It also distinguishes itself from sibling tool dossier_redirects, making its purpose unambiguous.

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?

Explicitly states when to use the tool: 'Use to review CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy'. It also names an alternative for redirect tracing (dossier_redirects), providing clear selection guidance.

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