lichess_puzzle

Read-only

Returns one public Lichess puzzle by puzzle ID, omitting the embedded game ID, player names and PGN headers. Requests are serialized; after 429 wait 60 seconds.

TDQS

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds substantial behavior beyond the annotations: it discloses omitted fields (embedded game ID, player names, PGN headers), request serialization, and the required wait after a 429 response. These are exactly the kind of operational details an agent 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?

The description is two tightly written sentences with the primary behavior front-loaded. Every clause adds useful information: scope, omitted fields, serialization, and rate-limit handling.

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 one-parameter read operation with annotations and an output schema, the description covers the important nuances: public data, omitted response fields, and rate-limit behavior. It does not need to explain return values because an output schema exists.

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%, so the input schema already fully documents the required puzzle ID. The description adds no syntax, format, or validation details beyond what the schema provides, which is the expected baseline.

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 states a specific verb and resource: returns one public Lichess puzzle by puzzle ID. This clearly distinguishes it from multi-puzzle siblings such as lichess_puzzle_batch and lichess_puzzle_many, though it does not explicitly name any alternative tools.

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?

Usage is implied by 'by puzzle ID' and 'one public Lichess puzzle', suggesting the tool is for retrieving a specific known puzzle. However, there is no explicit when-to-use guidance or comparison with siblings like lichess_puzzle_daily or lichess_puzzle_next.

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