D1.4/5.0
Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden, but it reveals nothing about behavior, prerequisites, or side effects. It does not even explicitly state that the tool retrieves Instagram reels.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely short, but this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness—it fails to provide any useful content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no annotations, no output schema, and a 4-parameter tool, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return values, pagination behavior, or typical usage scenarios.
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 descriptions cover 100% of parameters, providing basic meaning for trim, handle, max_id, and user_id. However, the tool description adds no additional semantics or context about how parameters interact or what the trimmed response includes.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose1/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description is simply 'Reels', which is a tautology of the tool name. It does not state an action or resource, and does not distinguish it from sibling tools like scrapecreators_profile_reels or scrapecreators_search_reels.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description contains no context about typical use cases, required inputs, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

C2/5.0
Disambiguation2/5
The tool set has significant overlap and ambiguity, particularly within the 'scrapecreators_' prefix where many tools appear to target similar social media platforms and content types (e.g., 'scrapecreators_posts', 'scrapecreators_posts_get', 'scrapecreators_post', 'scrapecreators_post_get'). Additionally, tools like 'tavily_research' and 'tavily_search' have overlapping purposes with 'web_search_exa', making it difficult for an agent to distinguish when to use each. While some tools like 'get_credits' or 'ideogram_v3' are distinct, the overall set is confusing due to redundant functionalities.
Naming Consistency2/5
Naming conventions are highly inconsistent across the tool set. There is a mix of snake_case (e.g., 'get_credits'), kebab-case (e.g., 'find-hooks'), and verbose prefixes (e.g., 'scrapecreators_'). The 'scrapecreators_' tools themselves vary in structure, with some using underscores and others not, and there are duplicate names with slight variations (e.g., 'scrapecreators_ad_details' vs. 'scrapecreators_ad_details_get'). This lack of a predictable pattern makes the tool set chaotic and hard to navigate.
Tool Count1/5
With 124 tools, the count is extremely high and inappropriate for the server's purpose, which appears to be marketing and social media data collection. This many tools suggests poor scoping, likely due to redundancy (e.g., multiple scraping tools for similar platforms) and overlapping functionalities. A well-scoped server in this domain should have far fewer tools, typically in the range of 10-30, to avoid overwhelming agents and ensure clarity.
Completeness4/5
Despite the high tool count and redundancy, the server covers a broad range of marketing-related functions comprehensively. It includes tools for social media hooks, content validation, SEO analysis (e.g., backlinks, keywords), voice archetypes, copywriting frameworks, and extensive scraping across multiple platforms. There are no obvious major gaps for the marketing domain, as it supports data gathering, content creation, and analysis across various networks and metrics, allowing agents to perform core marketing workflows effectively.
