lichess_puzzle_themes

Read-only

Returns the current Lichess puzzle-theme keys from its public source catalog. Use this to discover candidate values for the puzzle angle filter; the API still accepts open text and is not restricted to the returned list.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful context: the values come from a public source catalog and are non-authoritative because the API accepts arbitrary text. It does not say whether the result is live-fetched, cached, or how large it is, leaving some behavioral gaps.

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 tight sentences, front-loaded with what is returned and followed by the practical usage caveat. Every clause earns its place with no redundancy.

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 zero parameters and an output schema present, the description does not need to explain return values, and it covers the essential usage caveat. A note on freshness or catalog source stability would make it fully complete, but nothing critical is missing for correct invocation.

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 no parameter semantics to explain; the baseline for a parameterless tool applies. The description correctly implies no inputs are needed to obtain the catalog.

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 current Lichess puzzle-theme keys from the public source catalog. An agent can tell this is an enumeration/lookup tool rather than a puzzle-solving tool, though it does not explicitly name the sibling puzzle tools it complements.

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?

Explicitly says to use it to discover candidate values for the puzzle angle filter, which is clear when-to-use guidance. The added caveat that the API accepts open text and is not restricted to the returned list prevents an agent from treating the list as an enum constraint, though no alternative tools are named.

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