Tool DescriptionsA

Average 4.2/5 across 5 of 5 tools scored.

Server CoherenceA
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: categories, checklist, single topic, topic list, and search. No ambiguity between them.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (get_categories, get_checklist, get_topic, list_topics) with search being the only exception but it's a common standalone verb that fits the pattern.

Tool Count5/5

Five tools is an ideal size for a spec documentation server, covering discovery, retrieval, and search without unnecessary bloat.

Completeness5/5

The set covers listing categories and topics, fetching full topic pages, grouped checklists, and full-text search. As a read-only reference, this surface is complete and leaves no dead ends.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description transparently states it lists only the top ten categories and includes summaries and counts. This is sufficient for a read-only listing, though omits potential details like ordering or pagination.

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?

A single, clear sentence with no wasted words. It efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and output.

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?

Given the simplicity (no params, no output schema), the description is mostly complete. It could enhance by describing the output structure, but it covers the core functionality.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has zero parameters, so no additional explanation is needed. The description adds no param info, but nothing is lacking.

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 clearly states the verb 'List', the resource 'ten top-level spec categories', and the output includes 'summaries and topic counts'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_checklist or get_topic.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, though the name and sibling list imply it's for categories.

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

get_checklistGet an audit checklistA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Read-only. Return a Markdown checklist of spec items grouped by category, optionally filtered by category and/or status. Built for site audits — each item is a tickable line with status and canonical URL. Returns all statuses unless status is passed. Use list_topics instead when you want a flat list rather than grouped checkboxes, or the audit_url prompt to drive an actual audit of a target URL.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
statusNoFilter by spec status tier. `required` = the web-platform contract breaks or a clear class of users is harmed without it. `recommended` = a modern site should do it. `optional` = context-dependent. `avoid` = outdated, harmful, or superseded. Omit to include all four tiers.
categoryNoFilter to a single top-level category. Call `get_categories` for the list with descriptions and topic counts. Omit to include all ten categories.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It clearly describes a read operation (returning a checklist) with no indication of side effects. While it could explicitly state it is read-only, the description is sufficiently transparent for a retrieval tool.

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 concise with two sentences: the first states the main action and format, the second provides usage context. No extraneous information; each sentence adds value.

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?

Given no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the essential aspects: what is returned, grouping, and filtering. It could elaborate on what 'spec items' are and how grouping works, but it is adequate for a simple checklist tool.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds that parameters are optional filters by category and status, but does not explain the meaning of enum values (e.g., 'required' vs 'recommended'). This provides basic context but lacks depth.

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 clearly states that the tool returns a Markdown checklist of spec items grouped by category, with optional filtering. It distinguishes itself from siblings like get_categories, get_topic, list_topics, and search by specifying the output format and grouping.

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?

The description provides a clear use case ('Useful for site audits'), implying when to use the tool. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives, though the context from sibling tool names aids differentiation.

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

get_topicGet one spec pageA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Read-only. Fetch the full canonical Markdown for a single spec page by its slug: YAML frontmatter (title, status, category, sources, related slugs) plus the rendered body. Use this once you have a slug from search or list_topics. If you only have keywords, call search first.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
slugYesKebab-case slug, as listed by `list_topics` or `search`. Matched case-insensitively, with close-match suggestions on miss. Examples: `content-security-policy`, `meta-robots`, `llms-txt`.

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses the return value (YAML frontmatter + rendered body) but does not mention error behavior or side effects, which is acceptable for a read-only fetch.

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 sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states the action and result, the second elaborates on the return structure. Well front-loaded.

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?

Given the tool has a single parameter and no output schema, the description sufficiently explains the input (how to get slug) and output (frontmatter fields + body), making it complete for an agent.

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?

Schema coverage is 100% and already describes the slug param as kebab-case. The description adds value by providing examples and explicit sources (list_topics, search) for obtaining valid slugs.

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 clearly states the tool fetches full canonical Markdown for a single spec page by slug, distinguishing it from siblings like list_topics (which lists slugs) and search.

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?

The description explains that the slug parameter should come from list_topics or search, guiding the agent on prerequisite steps, but does not explicitly address when to avoid this tool.

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

list_topicsList spec topicsA
Read-onlyIdempotent
Inspect

Read-only. Return the canonical list of spec topics, optionally narrowed by category and/or status, each with title, status, category, summary, and URL. Returns ALL statuses unless status is passed. This is the right tool when you want a complete, unranked index (e.g. "every required SEO topic"). Use search instead for relevance-ranked keyword lookup, get_checklist for audit-style grouped output, and get_topic to fetch one page in full.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMaximum number of topics to return after filtering. Omit to return every matching topic; clamped to 1–200 when given.
statusNoFilter by spec status tier. `required` = the web-platform contract breaks or a clear class of users is harmed without it. `recommended` = a modern site should do it. `optional` = context-dependent. `avoid` = outdated, harmful, or superseded. Omit to include all four tiers.
categoryNoFilter to a single top-level category. Call `get_categories` for the list with descriptions and topic counts. Omit to include all ten categories.

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription
countYesTopics actually returned (after `limit`).
totalYesTotal topics matching the filters, before `limit`.
topicsYes
filtersYesThe filters that were applied (omitted keys mean no filter).
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, but the description clearly indicates a read-only listing operation with no destructive actions. It does not disclose potential edge cases like empty results or pagination, but for a simple list tool, it is adequate.

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 sentences, no redundant information. The primary action is stated first, followed by return fields and an example. Highly efficient.

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?

For a low-complexity tool with three optional parameters and no output schema, the description covers purpose, filters, and returns. It is sufficient for an agent to understand the tool's primary use case, though missing explicit pagination or ordering details.

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?

The description mentions optional filtering by category and status, but does not explain the 'limit' parameter or provide details on the enum values. With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds some context but could be more explicit.

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?

Clear verb ('list') and resource ('spec topics'), with explicit mention of optional filters and return fields. Example usage ('canonical list of e.g. all required SEO topics') distinguishes it from siblings like get_topic and search.

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?

Provides a specific usage scenario ('when the user wants the canonical list...'), which implies when to use. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternative tools.

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