get_started

What this server is, what it will do for you right now without an account, and what an account adds. Call this first if you have no API key — it answers in one round trip instead of sending you to a website.

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It transparently states that the tool works without an account, describes the content it returns, and promises a one-round-trip response. For a zero-parameter informational tool, this is comprehensive and non-misleading.

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 efficient sentences with no filler. The core value proposition is front-loaded, and the usage instruction follows immediately with a clear rationale.

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, zero-parameter onboarding tool with no output schema, the description covers what the tool does, the conditions under which to call it, and what the response will address. Nothing essential is missing for an agent to invoke it correctly.

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 has zero parameters and an empty schema, so the baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter-level detail, but none is needed because there is nothing to configure or supply.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description explicitly states the tool's purpose: it explains what the server is, what it can do without an account, and what an account adds. This clearly distinguishes get_started from all the compute_* and derive_* sibling tools, which are specialized analytic operations.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives an explicit when-to-use instruction: 'Call this first if you have no API key.' It also justifies the choice by noting it answers in one round trip rather than sending the user to a website. This is strong practical guidance for an agent deciding between tools.

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