Tool Definition Quality
Average 3.6/5 across 29 of 29 tools scored. Lowest: 2.8/5.
Most tools target distinct operations, but there is some overlap among text transformation tools (text_humanize, text_rewrite, text_summarize) and SEO tools (seo_title_generate, meta_desc_generate, etc.). Overall, descriptions help differentiate them.
Names mostly follow verb_noun pattern (e.g., file_parse, cron_task_create), but some are inconsistent: ai_text_generate (prefix), seo_check (no verb), url_shorten (verb only). Mix of styles but readable.
29 tools is high for a single server, covering many unrelated domains (text, cron, SEO, files, etc.). While not excessive, it feels like a grab bag rather than a focused toolkit.
Within each subdomain, there are noticeable gaps: cron lacks update/delete, SEO lacks snippet generation, text lacks translation. The broad scope prevents deep coverage.
Available Tools
29 toolsai_text_generateAInspect
AI-powered text generation: copywriting, naming, slogans, catchy titles, praise/replies, couplets. Powered by GLM-4.7-Flash (free, 10k calls/day).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | No | Generation type (default: copywriting) | |
| input | Yes | Input text or topic (max 500 chars) | |
| style | No | Additional style requirement (optional) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the underlying model (GLM-4.7-Flash) and a rate limit (10k calls/day free), which are important behavioral traits. However, it does not mention failure modes, latency, or output format.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose, supported types, and key constraints (model, rate limit). No superfluous content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a text generation tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers the types, model, and rate limit. Missing details like output format or error handling are minor given the simplicity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all three parameters. The description lists the enum values for 'type' but adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'AI-powered text generation' and enumerates specific use cases like copywriting, naming, slogans, etc. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools (e.g., text_rewrite, text_summarize) by focusing on generative tasks rather than transformation or analysis.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for creative text generation (copywriting, naming, etc.) but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like text_humanize or text_rewrite. No exclusions or comparisons are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| callback_url | No | URL to call when task is due (optional) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It describes creation but omits details like task persistence, idempotency, concurrency limits, or authentication needs. It adds minimal behavioral context beyond the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences: first states action and resource, second gives typical usage. No wasted words, front-loaded with key info.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 9 parameters, 2 required, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too sparse. It lacks information on what happens after creation (e.g., response, how to trigger), task lifecycle, or how to use the created task with sibling tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The tool description adds no extra information about parameters; all param details are in the schema itself. Thus no value added beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a scheduled task using a cron expression, and provides specific use cases (daily check-ins, monitoring, reminders). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like cron_task_list (listing) and cron_task_done (completing).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives context for when to use (managing periodic tasks for AI agents), but does not explicitly exclude scenarios or mention alternatives. However, the sibling list implies alternative tools for other operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
cron_task_doneBInspect
Mark a scheduled task as completed or failed. Supports failure tracking and auto-retry.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|

| message | No | Optional message about the result (e.g. error details) | |
| task_id | Yes | Task ID to mark as done | |
| agent_id | No | Your agent identifier (default: "default") |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It indicates a mutation (changing state) and mentions auto-retry, but does not explain side effects, authentication needs, rate limits, or what happens on failure beyond triggering retry. Insufficient for an AI agent to understand implications.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, and contains no extraneous information. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 4 parameters, 1 required, and no output schema, the description should provide context about return values, error handling, and behavior on success vs failure. It does not cover edge cases or response format, making it incomplete for a mutation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema descriptions (e.g., 'Supports failure tracking and auto-retry' complements the status enum). It does not significantly enhance parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'mark' and resource 'scheduled task', specifying two outcomes (completed or failed). It also mentions failure tracking and auto-retry, distinguishing it from sibling tools like cron_task_create and cron_task_list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use the tool (marking tasks as done, especially for failures), but does not explicitly state when not to use it or provide alternatives among siblings. Guidance is implicit rather than explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
cron_task_listAInspect

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| due | No | Only show tasks due now (default: false) | |
| tag | No | Filter by tag (optional) | |
| agent_id | No | Your agent identifier (default: "default") |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description carries full burden. It states the core function but lacks details on ordering, pagination, or response format. Adequate for a simple list tool but not comprehensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise: one sentence front-loaded with the core purpose and a specific usage hint. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 3 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the basic functionality but doesn't explain what the tool returns (e.g., a list of task objects). Could be more complete for agent decision-making.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 3 parameters. Description adds no new parameter info beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'List scheduled tasks', which is a specific verb-resource combination. The name 'cron_task_list' contrasts well with siblings like 'cron_task_create', 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.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit guidance on the 'due' parameter for filtering tasks that need action. While it doesn't contrast against sibling tools, the hint is useful for appropriate invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
cron_task_logsAInspect
Get execution history/logs for a scheduled task. Shows past completion times, success/failure status, and counts. Omit task_id to get all logs for the agent.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max log entries to return (default: 50) | |
| task_id | No | Task ID to get logs for (omit for all agent logs) | |
| agent_id | No | Your agent identifier (default: "default") |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. The description implies a read-only operation ('Get'), but does not explicitly state that it is non-destructive or any other behavioral traits (e.g., rate limits, auth requirements). Given the lack of annotations, a score of 3 is appropriate: adequate but not thorough.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the purpose, and contains zero wasted words. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 3 parameters (none required) and no output schema. The description provides a high-level overview of the data returned (completion times, status, counts). It does not detail the return format or pagination behavior with the limit parameter, but for a simple logs tool, it is reasonably complete. A slight improvement would be to mention the response shape.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents each parameter. The description adds a sentence about omitting task_id, which is already stated in the schema description. Thus, it adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema, earning a baseline score of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get execution history/logs') and the resource ('scheduled task'), and lists specific data returned (completion times, status, counts). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like cron_task_list, which list tasks rather than logs.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides a clear usage hint: 'Omit task_id to get all logs for the agent.' This guides the agent on when to include or omit the parameter. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like cron_task_list or cron_task_done, though the context is fairly clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

html_entityBInspect
Encode or decode HTML entities.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| input | Yes | String to process | |
| action | No | Action (default: auto) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states the basic action (encode/decode) but omits details such as character set support, error handling, or whether the operation is reversible. This leaves the agent without essential behavioral information.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single brief sentence, which is concise and front-loaded. However, it lacks structure (e.g., no separate sections or hints) and could benefit from a bit more detail without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 parameters, no output schema, no nested objects), the description is minimally adequate but incomplete. It does not explain the 'auto' action's behavior, the return type, or any edge cases. A more complete description would clarify these aspects.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters thoroughly (input: 'String to process', action: enum with 'auto', 'encode', 'decode', default: 'auto'). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the verb ('encode or decode') and the resource ('HTML entities'), making the tool's purpose immediately clear. Although the action parameter includes an 'auto' option, the description accurately reflects the core functionality, and there are no sibling tools with similar purpose, so no differentiation needed.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus other tools, nor does it specify any prerequisites or exclusions. Given the lack of annotations, the description could have included context (e.g., 'Use for sanitizing or escaping HTML text') but fails to do so.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
idea_listAInspect
List ideas from the JieBang ideas board. Filter by status, sort by votes. View community feature requests and their progress.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| filter | No | Filter by status (optional) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only describes what the tool does (list, filter, sort) without confirming it is read-only, mentioning side effects, or noting requirements like authentication. The behavior is implicitly non-destructive, but the lack of explicit transparency reduces completeness.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two concise sentences that front-load the core action and add filtering/sorting details without superfluous information. Every phrase adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is partially complete. It explains input filtering and sorting, but does not describe the return format or any paging/rate-limit behavior. Given the simplicity, it is minimally adequate but leaves gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter (filter) with 100% coverage via enum. The description adds meaning beyond the schema by stating 'sort by votes', which informs the agent of the default ordering behavior not captured in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists ideas from the JieBang ideas board, and specifies actions like filtering by status, sorting by votes, and viewing community feature requests. It is a specific verb+resource combination that distinguishes it from sibling tools like idea_submit.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for viewing and browsing ideas, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like idea_submit or other list tools. No exclusions or alternative suggestions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
idea_submitAInspect
Submit a new idea or feature request to the JieBang ideas board. Supports categorization, priority, and source tracking.

| category | No | Category (default: 工具需求) | |
| priority | No | Priority (default: medium) | |
| description | No | Detailed description (max 2000 chars) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. Only states 'Submit' (creation) and mentions features, but no disclosure of side effects, auth needs, rate limits, or response behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences front-loaded with purpose. No fluff. Each sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequate for a simple submission tool, but lacks details on return value, success/failure indicators, or prerequisites. Given 6 parameters and no output schema, more context would help.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%. Description adds minimal context ('categorization, priority, source tracking') but does not significantly extend meaning beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clear verb 'Submit' with specific resource 'new idea or feature request' and target 'JieBang ideas board'. Distinguishes from sibling 'idea_list' which lists ideas.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implied usage from purpose (submission vs listing), but no explicit guidance on when to use or alternatives. No when-not-to or exclusions provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and 5 parameters, the description should hint at the return type (e.g., converted image URL, data stream). It does not address error handling, limitations (e.g., file size, supported source formats), or the behavior of absent optional parameters. This leaves significant uncertainty for an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema: it groups resize and quality as optional, but the schema already provides descriptions for each parameter. No additional semantic clarity is provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool converts image formats to specific types (WebP, AVIF, PNG, JPEG) with optional resize and quality control. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like base_convert or file_parse, which have different purposes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

| direction | No | Conversion direction (default: auto) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'Auto-detects direction' but fails to describe error handling, return format, side effects, or constraints on input size/types.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single efficient sentence that immediately conveys the tool's purpose and key behavioral trait. No wasted words; perfectly front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description should at least hint at the return value (e.g., 'returns converted string'). It also lacks any mention of supported limits, encoding, or error cases.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and the description does not add significant meaning beyond the schema. The mention of 'Auto-detects direction' aligns with the default value, so it provides marginal added value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action and key modifiers. Every word adds value with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description adequately describes the output (keywords sorted, count range, long-tail variations). It could mention the exact format (e.g., array) but the behavioral detail is sufficient for most use cases.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. However, the description introduces an inconsistency by stating the returned count is 10-20, while the schema's 'count' parameter allows 1-20. This can confuse an AI agent, reducing the score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, efficient, front-loaded with verb and purpose. No redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with 3 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the key functionality. Missing details on return format or error handling, but not critical.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers all parameters; description adds interpretive value by explaining each mode's style (e.g., academic=formal). This enhances understanding beyond the schema's enum values.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the tool rewrites text with different styles while preserving meaning. Lists modes, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like summarize or humanize.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies use for text rewriting with style changes. Sibling names like text_summarize and text_humanize provide context, but no explicit when-not or alternatives are stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
text_summarizeAInspect
Summarize text into concise version. Lengths: short (1-2 sentences), medium (3-5 sentences), long (full paragraph). Preserves key data and facts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| lang | No | Language (default: zh) | |
| text | Yes | Text to summarize (max 5000 chars) | |
| length | No | Summary length (default: medium) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It mentions length options and data preservation, but lacks details on idempotency, rate limits, or any side effects. The information is adequate but not rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no redundancy, front-loaded with the core action. Every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema, the description does not explain the return format, but the tool's purpose is straightforward. It covers inputs and behavior adequately for its complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by clarifying the length options with sentence counts and emphasizing data preservation. This goes beyond the enum descriptions in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Summarize text into concise version.' It specifies the length options and mentions that it preserves key data and facts. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like text_rewrite or keyword_extract.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use (when a summary is needed) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or provide alternatives. No guidance on prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
timezone_convertBInspect
Convert datetime between time zones.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| toZone | No | Target timezone (optional) | |
| datetime | Yes | ISO datetime (e.g. 2026-06-04T12:00) | |
| fromZone | No | Source timezone (default: Asia/Shanghai) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description should disclose behavioral traits. However, it only states the general purpose without covering edge cases, supported timezone formats, error handling, or default behavior. The description is insufficient for an agent to anticipate behavior fully.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and well-structured for quick understanding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not explain return value format, supported timezone identifiers, or behavior on invalid input. The tool is simple but still lacks crucial context for reliable use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with parameter descriptions for toZone, datetime, and fromZone. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline score of 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool converts datetime between time zones, using a specific verb and resource. It is distinct from sibling tools, which are mostly unrelated (text generation, formatting, etc.). No ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. The tool is simple, but the description could mention that it is suitable for time zone conversions and not for parsing or formatting tasks.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
url_shortenAInspect
Create a short link for any URL. Returns short URL and click tracking. Free: 100 links/day.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | Long URL to shorten | |
| code | No | Custom short code (3-20 chars, optional) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry full behavioral disclosure. It mentions the free tier limit (100 links/day) and that it returns a short URL with click tracking, but lacks details on authentication, rate limits beyond the free tier, idempotency, or error handling. This is insufficient for a tool that creates resources.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—two sentences with no unnecessary words. The first sentence conveys the core action, and the second adds return type and a usage limit. Every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, the description should more thoroughly explain the return value and possible error conditions. While it mentions 'short URL and click tracking,' it is vague. The parameter schema is well-covered, but overall completeness is adequate but not outstanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value by stating that the tool returns a short URL and click tracking, which is not in the schema. It also introduces a rate limit constraint. This goes beyond the schema, justifying a higher score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('short link for any URL'), and it distinguishes this tool from its siblings since no other tool in the list provides URL shortening. The purpose is immediately understandable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, but the sibling list makes it clear that only this tool shortens URLs. No exclusion or prerequisite guidance is given, so it meets the minimum viable level.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
xml_formatCInspect
Beautify or minify XML code.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| input | Yes | XML string | |
| action | No | Action (default: beautify) |
Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility. It fails to mention the 'validate' action and provides no details on side effects, idempotency, or return format. The tool is simple, but the description is incomplete.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short (one phrase), which is concise but lacks structure. It front-loads the verb, but fails to fully capture all actions (missing validate). It could be improved without adding length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema exists, so the description should explain return values. It does not. Additionally, it omits the validate action and does not clarify defaults. The description is insufficient for a complete understanding of the tool's functionality.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional parameter meaning beyond what the schema already provides, but that is acceptable given high coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Beautify or minify XML code,' indicating the primary functions. However, it omits the 'validate' action present in the schema, which is a notable omission but still leaves the core purpose clear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use or not use this tool, nor any mention of alternatives among siblings. The description is too brief to provide contextual usage advice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
