lichess_puzzle_daily

Read-only

Returns the public daily Lichess puzzle with theme/solution data; embedded player identities and PGN identity tags are removed. Requests are serialized globally; after 429 wait 60 seconds.

A4.1/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Goes well past the readOnlyHint/openWorldHint annotations by disclosing privacy redaction (player identities and PGN identity tags stripped) and concrete rate-limit behavior (globally serialized requests, 60-second wait after a 429). The retry guidance is exactly the operational detail an agent needs to recover from failure.

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 compact clauses with no filler: what is returned first, then the redaction and rate-limit caveats. Every sentence carries operational weight and the purpose is front-loaded.

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 an output schema present and zero parameters, the description need not explain return values, and it covers the two things the schema cannot: redaction and throttling. It stops short of noting how 'daily' rotates or whether results are cached, which would matter for repeated calls.

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?

The tool takes zero parameters, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate; baseline 4 applies. It adds no parameter-level detail because none is needed.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Returns the public daily Lichess puzzle') and scopes the payload ('with theme/solution data'). The word 'daily' implicitly separates it from the other puzzle siblings, but no sibling is named explicitly, so routing still requires the agent to infer which puzzle variant it wants.

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 'daily' rather than stated: an agent can infer this is for today's puzzle, not a specific puzzle ID or a batch. There is no explicit when-to-use, no exclusion telling the agent when to pick lichess_puzzle or lichess_puzzle_next instead.

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