MCP Character Tools

Server Quality Checklist

Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

Latest release: v1.0.1
Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have distinct purposes, but char_at (0-based) and nth_character (1-based) could cause confusion, as could check_tricky_word vs get_tricky_words. Otherwise, tools like count_letter, count_letters, and count_substring are clearly differentiated.
Naming Consistency3/5
Tool names follow a verb_noun pattern but vary in detail (e.g., 'char_at' is abbreviated, 'nth_character' is more descriptive, 'letter_frequency' is noun_noun). Inconsistent use of 'count_letter' vs 'count_letters' and 'get_tricky_words' vs 'check_tricky_word' adds to the mixed style.
Tool Count5/5
14 tools is well-scoped for a character analysis server. Each tool serves a specific purpose (counting, indexing, frequency, tricky words, reversing, etc.) without being redundant or too many.
Completeness4/5
The set covers core character operations like counting, indexing, frequency, and substring analysis. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no case conversion or word-level tokenization beyond length), but the domain is well-served for typical letter-counting tasks.
Average 4.2/5 across 14 of 14 tools scored. Lowest: 3.5/5.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds 1-based indexing and from_end behavior, but omits behavior on out-of-bounds positions (e.g., position > text length). Does not contradict annotations.
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?
Very concise: three sentences plus Args list and Example. Front-loaded with purpose. No fluff, every 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?
For a simple tool with full schema coverage and clear annotations, the description is mostly complete. Lacks error handling details and differentiation from similar sibling tools, but otherwise sufficient.
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%, so baseline is 3. Description adds context: '1-based, human-friendly numbering' for position, default false for from_end, and an example. This enhances understanding beyond schema.
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?
Clearly states 'Get the nth character' with 1-based numbering. Provides example and argument details. However, does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tool 'char_at' which likely has similar purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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 like 'char_at' or 'reverse_text'. The description gives a natural language example but lacks usage context and exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description specifies that the tool returns per-word breakdowns with counts and positions, and explains the case_sensitive parameter. This adds context beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint), which already indicate safety. The description is consistent and informative.
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 efficiently structured with a concise summary followed by a clear Args section and an example. Every sentence is purposeful, and the most critical information is 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?
For a simple tool with three parameters, no output schema, and no nested objects, the description fully covers the tool's purpose, parameters, and expected output. It is complete and adequate for correct invocation.
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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description reiterates parameters and provides an illustrative example, which adds some value beyond the schema descriptions but does not significantly enhance parameter meaning.
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's purpose: analyzing a sentence word-by-word for a specific letter, showing per-word counts. The example reinforces the purpose and distinguishes it from sibling tools like count_letter which likely provides a total count.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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 vs. alternatives such as count_letter, letter_frequency, or count_substring. The example implicitly suggests usage but fails to provide context for selection among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. Description adds clarity about error handling ('or error if out of bounds') and provides concrete examples demonstrating expected behavior.
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?
Extremely concise yet informative: two sentences plus structured Args, Returns, Example sections. 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.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Annotations indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive. The description adds sorting by count, individual and total results, and an example. No contradictions.
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 brief yet informative, front-loaded with the main action, and includes an example. Every sentence adds value.
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's low complexity and full schema coverage, the description covers purpose, parameter meanings, behavior (sorting, totals), and example. No gaps.
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%, so baseline 3. The description adds meaning by explaining the default for case_sensitive and the overall purpose of each parameter, going slightly beyond schema descriptions.
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 'Count a letter across multiple words at once' with a clear verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like count_letter (single word) by emphasizing batch processing.
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 implies when to use (multiple words) but does not explicitly state when not to use or reference alternatives. It is clear enough for context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
