Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v1.0.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific resources and actions. The naming convention makes it immediately clear whether a tool retrieves a single item (get_*) or lists multiple items (list_*), with no ambiguity between similar operations.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    The naming follows a perfect and predictable pattern throughout: all tools use snake_case with consistent verb_noun combinations (get_resource for single items, list_resources for collections). There are no deviations or mixed conventions.

    Tool Count2/5

    With 38 tools, this is too many for typical MCP server purposes. While Mailchimp has many resources, the tool surface feels heavy and could overwhelm agents. A more focused subset would likely be more manageable and appropriate.

    Completeness3/5

    The surface provides extensive read-only coverage (get and list operations) but lacks create, update, or delete operations for most resources. While agents can retrieve data, they cannot modify Mailchimp resources, creating significant workflow gaps.

  • Average 2.9/5 across 38 of 38 tools scored. Lowest: 2.3/5.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

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

  • Behavior1/5

    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. 'Get automation report data' implies a read-only operation, but it doesn't specify if authentication is needed, rate limits apply, what format the data is in, or if it's paginated. This is inadequate for a tool with no annotation coverage.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly, though its brevity contributes to gaps in other dimensions.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what the report data includes, how it's structured, or any behavioral traits. For a tool that likely returns complex report data, this leaves significant gaps for an AI agent to understand its use.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with 'workflow_id' clearly documented. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline of 3 for high schema coverage without compensating value.

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

    Purpose2/5

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

    The description 'Get automation report data' states a verb ('Get') and resource ('automation report data'), but it's vague about what specific data is retrieved and doesn't distinguish from siblings like 'get_automation_email_report' or 'list_automation_subscribers'. It's better than a tautology but lacks specificity about the report's scope or content.

    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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'get_automation' (likely for automation details) and 'get_automation_email_report' (likely for email-specific reports), the description offers no context on differentiation, leaving the agent to guess based on tool names alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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. 'Get account information' implies a read operation, but it doesn't specify whether this requires authentication, what permissions are needed, whether it returns personal or organizational data, or if there are rate limits. The description provides minimal behavioral context beyond the basic read implication.

    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 extremely concise with just three words: 'Get account information'. It's front-loaded and wastes no words, making it easy to parse. Every word contributes to the core meaning without unnecessary elaboration.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool that presumably retrieves account data. It doesn't explain what 'account information' includes, the format of the return value, or any behavioral constraints. For a tool with no structured metadata, the description should provide more context about what is retrieved and how it behaves.

    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 input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so there are no parameters to document. The description doesn't need to add parameter semantics, and it appropriately doesn't mention any. Since there are no parameters, the baseline score is 4, as the description doesn't create confusion about parameters.

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

    Purpose2/5

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

    The description 'Get account information' is a tautology that essentially restates the tool name 'get_account'. While it indicates a retrieval action, it doesn't specify what kind of account information is retrieved or distinguish this tool from sibling tools like 'get_member' or 'get_subscriber_activity' which might also retrieve account-related data. The purpose is vague and lacks specificity.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There are multiple sibling tools that might retrieve account-related information (e.g., 'get_member', 'get_subscriber_activity'), but the description doesn't clarify the scope or context for using 'get_account'. No prerequisites, exclusions, or alternatives are mentioned.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states 'Get' which implies a read operation, but doesn't specify if this is safe (e.g., no side effects), what permissions might be required, or how the data is returned (e.g., format, pagination). For a tool with no annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to scan. However, it could be more structured by including key details like purpose or usage, but given its brevity, it earns a high score for conciseness.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the complexity of a tool with 2 required parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what the tool returns (e.g., queue status, email details), how it differs from siblings, or any behavioral traits. For a tool that likely interacts with automation systems, more context is needed to be fully helpful.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with clear documentation for 'workflow_id' and 'email_id'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what's in the schema, such as explaining how these IDs relate to the queue or providing examples. Since schema coverage is high, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the description doesn't compensate but also doesn't detract.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'Get the automation email queue' states a clear verb ('Get') and resource ('automation email queue'), but it's somewhat vague about what exactly is being retrieved. It doesn't specify whether this returns metadata, status information, or the actual queue contents, nor does it distinguish itself from sibling tools like 'get_automation_email' or 'list_automation_emails' which might overlap in functionality.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'get_automation_email' and 'list_automation_emails', it's unclear if this tool is for a specific subset of email data (e.g., queued emails only) or a different aspect. No prerequisites, exclusions, or contextual hints are mentioned.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 implies a read-only operation ('Get') but doesn't specify permissions, rate limits, error handling, or response format. It lacks details on what 'detailed report' includes, such as metrics or structure, making it insufficient for a tool with no annotation coverage.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action ('Get detailed report') and resource. It avoids unnecessary words, but could be more structured by including key details like report scope or alternatives, though it earns points for brevity.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's complexity (a report-fetching operation), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what the report contains, how it's formatted, or any behavioral traits like data freshness or access requirements, leaving significant gaps for the agent.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with the 'campaign_id' parameter fully documented in the schema. The description doesn't add any meaning beyond the schema, such as format examples or contextual usage of the ID. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema does the heavy lifting.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description states the tool's purpose with a clear verb ('Get') and resource ('detailed report for a specific campaign'), but it's vague about what constitutes a 'detailed report' and doesn't distinguish it from sibling tools like 'get_campaign' or 'list_campaign_reports'. It provides basic functionality but lacks specificity in scope or content.

    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?

    The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'get_campaign' for basic campaign info or 'list_campaign_reports' for multiple reports. It doesn't mention prerequisites, exclusions, or contextual cues, leaving the agent to infer usage from the tool name alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states 'Get details' which implies a read-only operation, but it doesn't specify if this requires authentication, rate limits, error handling (e.g., invalid list ID), or what the return format looks like (e.g., JSON structure). For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness4/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is a single, efficient sentence ('Get details of a specific list') that is front-loaded and wastes no words. It could be slightly more informative (e.g., specifying what 'details' includes), but it's appropriately sized for a simple tool, earning a high score for conciseness.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity (1 parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'details' means in the return value, potential errors, or how it differs from sibling tools like 'list_lists'. For a read operation with no structured output documentation, more context is needed to guide the agent effectively.

    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 input schema has 1 parameter with 100% description coverage ('list_id: The list ID'), so the schema fully documents the parameter. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides (e.g., it doesn't explain where to find the list ID or format constraints). With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'Get details of a specific list' clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('list'), but it's vague about what 'details' entails (e.g., metadata, members, settings) and doesn't distinguish it from sibling tools like 'list_lists' (which likely lists multiple lists) or 'get_member' (which might retrieve list members). It's not tautological but lacks specificity.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a list ID), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings like 'list_lists' for listing all lists or 'get_member' for list-specific member data. Usage is implied only by the name and description, with no explicit context.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states 'Get' implies a read operation, but it doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, error conditions, or what format the report data is returned in. The description is minimal and lacks necessary context for safe and effective use.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded and appropriately sized for a simple retrieval tool, making it easy to parse quickly without unnecessary elaboration.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's complexity (a read operation with 2 required parameters) and lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what the report data includes, how it's structured, or any behavioral aspects. For a tool that likely returns detailed data, more context is needed to be fully useful.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with clear documentation for 'workflow_id' and 'email_id'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, as it doesn't explain parameter relationships or usage nuances. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the schema adequately handles parameter semantics.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'Get automation email report data' states a clear verb ('Get') and resource ('automation email report data'), but it's vague about what specific data is retrieved. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_automation_email' (likely gets email content) and 'get_automation_report' (likely gets general automation report), but the distinction is not explicitly articulated in the description itself.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'get_automation_email' and 'get_automation_report', there's no indication of context, prerequisites, or exclusions. Usage is implied only by the tool name, not described.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states the tool 'Get details' but doesn't clarify if this is a read-only operation, what permissions are required, how errors are handled, or the format of returned details. For a tool with no annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly. Every word earns its place by conveying the essential purpose.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's complexity (a read operation with one parameter) and lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'details' include, potential return values, or behavioral aspects like error handling. This leaves the agent under-informed for effective use.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with the parameter 'conversation_id' documented as 'The conversation ID'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, such as where to find the ID or format examples. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema does the heavy lifting.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'Get details of a specific conversation' clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('conversation'), but it's vague about what 'details' entails and doesn't distinguish this tool from siblings like 'list_conversations' or other 'get_' tools. It avoids tautology but lacks specificity.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites like needing a conversation ID, contrast with 'list_conversations' for browsing, or specify use cases like retrieving metadata versus full content. This leaves the agent without contextual direction.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states 'Get details' which implies a read-only operation, but doesn't specify permissions required, error handling, rate limits, or what 'details' include (e.g., metadata, content). For a tool with no annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior and constraints.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words, directly stating the tool's purpose. It's front-loaded and appropriately sized for a simple retrieval tool, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly without unnecessary elaboration.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity (1 parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimal but incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'details' are returned, potential errors, or how it fits within the broader context of sibling tools. For a tool with no output schema or annotations, more contextual information would help the agent use it effectively.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with 'file_id' clearly documented as 'The file ID'. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, such as format examples or sourcing instructions. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate as the schema handles the parameter documentation adequately.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'Get details of a specific file' clearly states the action (get) and resource (file), but it's vague about what 'details' entail and doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_files' or 'get_folder'. It's functional but lacks specificity to distinguish it from similar retrieval operations.

    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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'list_files' for multiple files or other 'get_' tools for different resources. The description implies usage for a single file but doesn't specify prerequisites, exclusions, or contextual alternatives, leaving the agent to infer based on naming conventions alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states 'Get details' which implies a read-only operation, but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like authentication needs, rate limits, error handling, or what happens if the template doesn't exist. This is inadequate for a tool with no annotation coverage.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words. It's front-loaded and appropriately sized for a simple retrieval tool, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity (1 parameter, 100% schema coverage) but lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'details' are returned, potential errors, or usage context, which is insufficient for effective tool 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 description coverage is 100%, with the parameter 'template_id' fully documented in the schema. The description doesn't add any meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as format examples or context for the ID. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema handles the parameter documentation.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'Get details of a specific template' clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('template'), but it's vague about what 'details' entails and doesn't distinguish this from sibling tools like 'list_templates' or other 'get_' tools. It avoids tautology but lacks specificity.

    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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'list_templates' or other retrieval tools. The description implies usage for a specific template but doesn't mention prerequisites or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer context.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states 'Get details' but does not describe what details are returned, whether it's a read-only operation, error handling, or any constraints like rate limits. This is a significant gap for a tool with no annotation coverage.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and appropriately sized, making it easy to parse quickly.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what details are returned, error conditions, or behavioral traits, which is inadequate for a tool that retrieves specific data. More context is needed to fully understand its operation.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with clear descriptions for 'workflow_id' and 'email_id'. The description does not add any meaning beyond the schema, such as explaining parameter relationships or formats, so it meets the baseline of 3 where the schema does the heavy lifting.

    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?

    The description clearly states the action ('Get details') and resource ('a specific email in an automation'), making the purpose understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_automation_emails' (which likely lists emails) or 'get_automation' (which might get automation details), so it lacks sibling differentiation for a perfect score.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions, such as when to use 'list_automation_emails' for listing emails or 'get_automation' for broader automation details, leaving usage unclear.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states it 'gets details' but doesn't specify what details are returned, whether it's a read-only operation, if authentication is required, or any rate limits. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's appropriately sized for a simple retrieval tool and front-loads the essential information. Every word earns its place.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no annotations, no output schema, and a simple input schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'details' are returned, the response format, or any behavioral aspects. For a tool in a context with many siblings, more guidance would be helpful.

    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 100%, so the schema fully documents the single parameter 'campaign_id'. The description adds no additional meaning about the parameter beyond what's in the schema, such as format examples or where to find campaign IDs. Baseline 3 is appropriate when schema does the heavy lifting.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and resource 'details of a specific campaign', making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes from list_campaigns by specifying retrieval of a single campaign rather than listing multiple. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from get_campaign_report, which is a sibling tool.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_campaign_report or list_campaigns. It doesn't mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage from the tool name alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states 'Get details' but does not specify what details are returned, whether it's a read-only operation, error handling (e.g., for invalid IDs), or performance aspects. This is inadequate for a tool with no annotation coverage.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words, making it easy to parse and front-loaded with the core action. It appropriately sized for a simple tool.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no annotations, no output schema, and a simple input schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on return values, error cases, or behavioral traits, which are crucial for an agent to use the tool effectively in context with siblings like 'list_folders'.

    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 100%, with the parameter 'folder_id' documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as format examples or constraints, but the high schema coverage justifies a baseline score of 3.

    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?

    The description 'Get details of a specific folder' clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('folder'), making the purpose understandable. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_file' or 'list_folders', which would require specifying what 'details' entail (e.g., metadata, contents, or permissions).

    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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'list_folders' or other 'get_' tools. The description implies usage for a specific folder but lacks context on prerequisites, error conditions, or comparisons to siblings, leaving the agent to infer usage scenarios.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states 'Get details' which implies a read-only operation, but doesn't specify permissions, rate limits, error handling, or what 'details' includes. This leaves significant gaps for a tool with no annotation coverage.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple retrieval tool and front-loads the essential information without unnecessary elaboration.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'details' includes in the response, potential errors, or behavioral aspects like authentication needs. For a tool with rich sibling context and no structured coverage, more information is needed.

    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 100%, so the schema already documents the single parameter 'page_id' with its description. The description doesn't add any meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as format examples or where to find page IDs. Baseline 3 is appropriate when schema does the heavy lifting.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and resource 'landing page' with specificity 'details of a specific landing page', making the purpose unambiguous. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_landing_pages' or other 'get_' tools, which would require explicit comparison to earn a 5.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention sibling tools like 'list_landing_pages' for listing multiple pages or other 'get_' tools for different resources, nor does it specify prerequisites or contexts for usage.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 but offers minimal information. It doesn't specify whether this is a read-only operation, what authentication is required, potential rate limits, error conditions, or what format/details are returned. For a tool with 2 required parameters and no output schema, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.

    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 extremely concise at just 6 words, front-loading the core purpose without any unnecessary elaboration. Every word earns its place, making it efficient for quick understanding while avoiding verbosity.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool has 2 required parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't explain what a 'member' represents in this context, what details are returned, or how this operation differs from other member-related tools. For a retrieval operation with specific identifiers needed, more context is warranted.

    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 schema has 100% description coverage, with both parameters clearly documented as 'list_id' and 'subscriber_hash'. The description doesn't add any additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as explaining what constitutes a 'member' or how these parameters relate to each other. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('details of a specific member'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_members' or 'get_subscriber_activity', which would require more specificity about what distinguishes this particular member retrieval operation.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_members' or other 'get_' tools. There's no mention of prerequisites, context requirements, or distinctions from similar operations, leaving the agent without usage direction.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states this is a retrieval operation ('Get details'), implying it's likely read-only, but doesn't confirm safety aspects, authentication needs, rate limits, error conditions, or what happens if parameters are invalid. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is insufficient behavioral context.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core purpose without unnecessary words. Every part of the sentence ('Get details of a specific order') directly contributes to understanding the tool's function, making it appropriately concise for a simple retrieval tool.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    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 annotations), the description is minimally adequate but incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'details' include, potential response formats, or error handling. For a retrieval tool in a context with many sibling tools, more differentiation and behavioral context would improve completeness.

    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 schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond implying that both store_id and order_id are needed to identify 'a specific order.' This meets the baseline for high schema coverage but doesn't enhance understanding of parameter relationships or constraints.

    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?

    The description clearly states the action ('Get details') and resource ('specific order'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate this tool from its sibling 'list_orders' or other 'get_' tools, which would require more specificity about what 'details' means or what distinguishes an order lookup from other entity lookups.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_orders' or other retrieval tools. It doesn't mention prerequisites, context requirements, or any exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage based solely on the tool name and basic purpose.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 but only states what the tool does without mentioning whether it's a read-only operation, what permissions might be required, error conditions, or response format. This is inadequate for a tool with no annotation coverage.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without any unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    For a tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what details are returned, error handling, or behavioral traits like idempotency or side effects, leaving significant gaps in understanding how to use the tool effectively.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with both parameters clearly documented in the schema itself. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying that 'product_id' identifies the specific product, which is already covered by the schema. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

    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?

    The description clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('details of a specific product'), making it immediately understandable. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from its sibling 'list_products', which retrieves multiple products rather than a single one, missing an opportunity for clear differentiation.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention that 'list_products' should be used for retrieving multiple products or that this tool requires specific identifiers, leaving the agent to infer usage from context alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states the tool retrieves details but doesn't specify what details are returned, whether it's a read-only operation, error conditions (e.g., invalid IDs), or performance characteristics. For a retrieval tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core purpose ('Get details of a specific segment'), making it easy to parse. Every word earns its place, and there's no redundancy or unnecessary elaboration.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete for a retrieval tool. It doesn't explain what 'details' are returned (e.g., fields, structure), error handling, or how it fits into the broader context of segment management. While the schema covers parameters well, the overall tool behavior remains underspecified for effective agent use.

    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 100%, with both parameters (list_id and segment_id) clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema—it doesn't explain the relationship between list and segment, format requirements, or example values. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate as the description doesn't compensate but also doesn't detract.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('Get details') and resource ('of a specific segment'), making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list_segments' by specifying retrieval of a single segment rather than listing multiple segments. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from other 'get_' tools that retrieve different resources.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a valid list_id and segment_id), when not to use it (e.g., for listing segments instead), or how it relates to sibling tools like 'list_segments' or 'get_list'. The agent must infer usage from the tool name and parameters alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states the action ('Get details') but does not disclose any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, error handling, authentication needs, rate limits, or what 'details' includes. This is inadequate for a tool with no annotation coverage.

    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 a single, efficient sentence ('Get details of a specific store') that is front-loaded and wastes no words. It directly conveys the core purpose without unnecessary elaboration, making it highly concise and well-structured.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimal. It lacks context on what 'details' entail, how to handle errors, or any behavioral aspects, making it incomplete for effective agent use despite the straightforward schema.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with 'store_id' documented as 'The store ID'. The description does not add any meaning beyond this, such as format examples or constraints. Since schema coverage is high, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the description does not compensate but also does not detract.

    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?

    The description 'Get details of a specific store' clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('store'), making the purpose understandable. However, it does not differentiate this tool from sibling tools like 'list_stores' or other 'get_' tools, which would require specifying what 'details' entails or the scope of retrieval.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not mention that 'list_stores' should be used to retrieve multiple stores or that 'get_store' is for a single store by ID, leaving the agent to infer usage from context without explicit direction.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states what the tool does ('Get subscriber activity') without detailing traits like whether it's read-only, requires specific permissions, returns paginated data, or includes error handling. For a tool with three required parameters and no output schema, this lack of behavioral context is a significant gap.

    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 a single, efficient sentence: 'Get subscriber activity for an automation email.' It is front-loaded with the core purpose, has zero wasted words, and is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity. Every part of the sentence earns its place by specifying the action and target.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's complexity (three required parameters, no output schema, and no annotations), the description is incomplete. It lacks details on return values (e.g., activity types like opens or clicks), error conditions, or behavioral traits. While the schema covers parameters well, the overall context for effective tool use by an agent is insufficient.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with clear parameter definitions (e.g., 'workflow_id' as 'The workflow ID of the automation'). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as explaining relationships between parameters or usage examples. Given the high schema coverage, a baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the schema does the heavy lifting.

    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?

    The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get subscriber activity for an automation email.' It specifies the verb ('Get') and resource ('subscriber activity'), and while it doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings like 'get_automation_email_report' or 'list_automation_subscribers,' the focus on individual subscriber activity is reasonably distinct. However, it lacks explicit sibling differentiation, preventing a score of 5.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites, context (e.g., after sending an automation email), or exclusions (e.g., not for bulk activity). With many sibling tools like 'get_automation_email_report' and 'list_automation_subscribers,' this omission leaves the agent guessing about appropriate usage scenarios.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states the action ('List all emails') but lacks details on permissions, rate limits, pagination, return format, or error handling. This is a significant gap for a tool with no structured safety hints.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and appropriately sized for a simple listing tool, with no wasted information.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not address behavioral aspects like what 'all emails' entails (e.g., pagination, filtering), potential errors, or the response structure. For a tool with no structured safety or output information, more context is needed to guide effective use.

    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 does not mention parameters, but the input schema has 100% coverage with a clear description for 'workflow_id'. Since the schema fully documents the single required parameter, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the description adds no extra semantic value beyond what the schema provides.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('emails in an automation'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_automation_email' or 'list_automation_subscribers', which could cause confusion about scope or filtering options.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a workflow ID), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings such as 'get_automation_email' (which might fetch a single email) or 'list_automation_subscribers' (which focuses on subscribers).

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states 'List subscribers' but does not clarify if this is a read-only operation, what permissions are required, if there are rate limits, or how results are returned (e.g., pagination). For a tool with no annotations, this is a significant gap in transparency.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without any wasted words. It is front-loaded and appropriately sized for a simple list operation, making it highly concise and well-structured.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool with 2 required parameters. It lacks details on behavioral traits (e.g., safety, permissions), return values, or error handling. While the schema covers parameters, the overall context for the agent to use the tool effectively is insufficient.

    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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with clear documentation for 'workflow_id' and 'email_id'. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond implying these are used to identify the automation and email queue. Since the schema does the heavy lifting, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the description does not compensate or add extra value.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'subscribers in an automation email queue', making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_members' or 'get_subscriber_activity', which might also involve subscriber data, so it lacks sibling differentiation for a perfect score.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions, such as how it differs from 'list_members' or 'get_subscriber_activity' in terms of automation-specific filtering. This leaves the agent with minimal usage direction.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states a read operation ('List') but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as pagination, sorting, filtering capabilities, rate limits, authentication needs, or what 'all' entails (e.g., date ranges, statuses). This leaves significant gaps for safe and effective use.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly. This is an example of optimal conciseness for a simple tool.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the complexity of listing operations (often involving pagination, filters, or sorting), no annotations, no output schema, and siblings that could confuse selection, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address behavioral aspects or usage context, making it inadequate for reliable agent operation.

    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 input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description doesn't add parameter details, which is appropriate here. A baseline of 4 is applied as it adequately handles the lack of parameters without introducing confusion.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'List all campaign reports' clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('campaign reports'), making the purpose understandable. However, it lacks specificity about scope or format, and doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_campaign_report' or 'list_campaigns', which could cause confusion about when to use each.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'get_campaign_report' (likely for a single report) and 'list_campaigns' (likely for campaigns, not reports), the agent has no explicit or implied direction on selection criteria, leaving usage ambiguous.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states the action but lacks behavioral details such as pagination, rate limits, authentication requirements, or what 'list all members' entails (e.g., if it returns all at once or in batches). This is a significant gap for a tool with no annotation coverage.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and appropriately sized for a simple tool, with zero waste.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no annotations, no output schema, and a simple input schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral aspects (e.g., response format, error handling) and usage context, making it inadequate for full agent understanding despite the tool's low complexity.

    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 100%, so the schema already documents the 'list_id' parameter. The description adds minimal value by implying the parameter is used to specify the list, but does not provide additional context like format examples or constraints beyond what the schema states, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('all members in a specific list'), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_member' (which likely retrieves a single member) or 'list_lists' (which lists lists rather than members), missing explicit sibling distinction.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a valid list ID), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings like 'get_member' for single-member retrieval, leaving usage context implied but unspecified.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states the action but doesn't cover critical aspects like whether this is a read-only operation, potential rate limits, authentication requirements, or what the output format looks like (e.g., pagination, error handling). This is inadequate for a tool with no annotation support.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's function without unnecessary words. It's front-loaded and appropriately sized for its purpose, with no wasted verbiage.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address behavioral traits, return values, or usage context, leaving significant gaps for an agent to operate effectively with this tool in a real-world scenario.

    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 100%, with the single parameter 'list_id' clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no additional semantic context beyond implying a list context, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage without compensating value.

    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?

    The description clearly states the action ('List all') and resource ('merge fields in a specific list'), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_merge_field' (singular vs. plural), which might cause confusion about when to use each.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_merge_field' or other list-related tools. It lacks context about prerequisites, such as needing an existing list, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states it's a list operation, implying read-only behavior, but doesn't mention pagination, sorting, filtering beyond store_id, rate limits, authentication needs, or what the output looks like. For a list tool with zero annotation coverage, this is inadequate.

    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 a single, efficient sentence with zero waste, clearly front-loading the purpose. It's appropriately sized for a simple list tool, earning full marks for conciseness.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain return values, behavioral traits like pagination, or how it differs from siblings. For a list tool in a context with many similar tools, this leaves significant gaps for the agent.

    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 100%, with the single parameter 'store_id' documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying the store context, so it meets the baseline of 3 where the schema does the heavy lifting without extra value from the description.

    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?

    The description clearly states the action ('List all orders') and resource ('in a store'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from potential siblings like 'get_order' (singular) or other list tools, which would require explicit differentiation for a score of 5.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'get_order' (singular) and other list tools (e.g., 'list_products'), there's no indication of context, prerequisites, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage based on naming alone.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is incomplete. It doesn't address behavioral traits like pagination or error handling, and with no output schema, it should at least hint at the return format. This leaves gaps in understanding how to effectively use the 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?

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no annotations, no output schema, and a simple input schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on return values (e.g., format of segments), error conditions, or operational constraints. For a tool in a context with many sibling retrieval tools, more context is needed to ensure correct usage.

    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 100%, with the parameter 'list_id' fully documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying the list context, which is already covered by the schema's description. This meets the baseline of 3 when schema coverage is high.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('segments in a specific list'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_segment' or 'list_members', which could lead to confusion about when to use this specific list operation versus other retrieval tools.

    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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_segment' (which likely retrieves a single segment) or 'list_members' (which might list members rather than segments). The description mentions 'in a specific list', but this is part of the purpose rather than usage context or exclusions.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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. 'List all conversations' implies a read-only operation but doesn't specify if it requires authentication, how results are returned (e.g., pagination, sorting), or potential side effects. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its 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?

    The description is extremely concise with 'List all conversations'—a single, clear sentence that front-loads the core action and resource. There is no wasted verbiage, making it efficient and easy to parse.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness3/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate. It states what the tool does but lacks context on behavior, output format, or usage compared to siblings. For a list operation, more detail on result handling would be beneficial, but the low complexity keeps it from being incomplete.

    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 input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description doesn't add parameter details, which is appropriate. Baseline is 4 for 0 parameters, as the schema fully covers the absence of inputs.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'List all conversations' clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('conversations'), making the purpose understandable. However, it lacks specificity about scope or format, and while it distinguishes from sibling 'get_conversation' (singular vs. plural), it doesn't explicitly differentiate from other list_* tools like 'list_members' or 'list_campaigns' beyond the resource name.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites, context for listing conversations, or compare it to sibling tools like 'get_conversation' for single conversations or other list_* tools for different resources. Usage is implied by the name alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states this is a 'Get' operation which implies read-only behavior, but doesn't clarify authentication requirements, rate limits, error conditions, or what format/details are returned. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is insufficient.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that gets straight to the point with no wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple retrieval tool and front-loads the essential information.

    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 doesn't add any parameter information beyond what's already in the schema (which has 100% coverage). It doesn't explain the relationship between list_id and merge_field_id, or provide examples of valid values. With complete schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

    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?

    The description clearly states the action ('Get details') and resource ('specific merge field'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate this tool from its sibling 'list_merge_fields' which would list multiple merge fields rather than retrieve details of a specific one.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention the sibling 'list_merge_fields' tool for listing multiple merge fields, nor does it explain prerequisites like needing to know both list_id and merge_field_id before calling this tool.

    Given the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema) and lack of annotations, the description is minimal but incomplete. It doesn't address what 'all' means (e.g., pagination limits), the format of returned data, or how it differs from similar tools like 'get_folder', leaving the agent with insufficient context for optimal use.

    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 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema fully documents the absence of inputs. The description adds no parameter information, but since there are no parameters to document, this meets expectations. A perfect score would require the description to explicitly note the lack of parameters.

    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?

    The description 'List all campaign folders' clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('campaign folders'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_folder' or other list tools, which would require more specificity for a perfect score.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_folder' or other list tools. It lacks context about prerequisites, limitations, or typical use cases, leaving the agent to infer usage from the tool name alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 states 'List all landing pages' but doesn't mention whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires authentication, what the return format is (e.g., pagination, fields included), or any rate limits. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand how to use it effectively.

    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 extremely concise with 'List all landing pages'—a single, front-loaded sentence that wastes no words. It efficiently communicates the core action and resource without any unnecessary elaboration, making it easy to parse quickly.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'List all' entails (e.g., pagination, sorting, fields returned) or behavioral aspects like error handling. For a tool with no structured metadata, more context is needed to guide an agent adequately.

    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 0 parameters, and the input schema has 100% description coverage (though empty). The description doesn't need to add parameter details, so it meets the baseline expectation. No additional semantic value is required or provided, which is appropriate for a parameterless tool.

    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?

    The description 'List all landing pages' clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('landing pages'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_landing_page' (singular vs. plural), leaving some ambiguity about when to use this versus retrieving a specific landing page.

    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 guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'get_landing_page' (singular) and other list tools, the description lacks context on whether this is for bulk retrieval, filtering, or specific use cases, offering no explicit or implied usage instructions.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. While 'List all templates' implies a read-only operation, it doesn't address pagination behavior, rate limits, authentication requirements, or what 'all' means in practice (e.g., whether there are limits on returned items). The description is minimal and lacks operational context.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that states exactly what the tool does with zero wasted words. It's appropriately front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it immediately scannable and understandable.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    For a list operation with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't describe the return format (e.g., array of template objects, pagination structure), error conditions, or any limitations. While the purpose is clear, the operational context needed for effective use is missing.

    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 schema description coverage is 100% (empty schema). The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters since none exist. A baseline of 4 is appropriate for parameterless tools where the schema fully documents the absence of inputs.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('templates in your Mailchimp account'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_template' (singular) or 'list_lists', but the verb+resource combination is specific enough for basic understanding.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With sibling tools like 'get_template' (singular retrieval) and 'list_lists' (similar pattern), there's no indication of when this list operation is appropriate versus individual retrieval or other listing operations.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states it 'gets details' which implies a read-only operation, but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like authentication needs, rate limits, error handling, or what 'details' includes. For a tool with no annotations, this is a significant gap in transparency.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action and resource. There is zero waste, making it highly concise and well-structured for quick understanding.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'details' are returned, error conditions, or other contextual nuances needed for effective tool use. For a read operation with no structured output documentation, this leaves significant gaps.

    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 100%, with the single parameter 'workflow_id' fully documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying the parameter is used to identify the automation, which is already clear from the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('Get details') and resource ('a specific automation'), making the purpose understandable. It distinguishes from list_automations by specifying retrieval of a single item by ID, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with get_automation_email or other get_automation_* siblings beyond the resource focus.

    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?

    The description implies usage when you need details for a specific automation identified by workflow ID, but it doesn't explicitly state when to use this versus alternatives like list_automations or other get_automation_* tools. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned, leaving some ambiguity in context.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states the action without disclosing behavioral traits. It doesn't mention whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires authentication, how results are paginated, or what format the output takes. For a list operation with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness3/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no annotations, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate but lacks completeness. It doesn't explain what 'list' means operationally (e.g., format, pagination, sorting) or how it differs from sibling tools, leaving gaps for an AI agent to infer behavior.

    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 schema description coverage is 100%, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters, earning a baseline score of 4 for not adding unnecessary information.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('all automations in your Mailchimp account'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_automation_emails' or 'list_automation_subscribers', which would require more specificity about scope.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_automation' (for a single automation) or 'list_automation_emails' (for emails within automations). It lacks explicit when/when-not instructions or named alternatives, leaving usage context implied at best.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states the action ('List') but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires authentication, how results are returned (e.g., pagination), or any rate limits. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose with no wasted words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness3/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate but lacks context about behavior, alternatives, or output format. It doesn't explain what 'List' entails (e.g., returns IDs, names, full objects), which is a gap since no output schema exists to clarify.

    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 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema fully documents the absence of inputs. The description doesn't need to add parameter details, but it could mention if there are implicit filters or scoping (e.g., 'all' implies no filtering). Baseline is 4 for zero parameters.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('all e-commerce stores'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from its sibling 'get_store' (singular vs. plural), which could cause confusion about when to use each.

    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?

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_store' or other list_* siblings. It lacks context about prerequisites, filtering options, or any 'when-not-to-use' scenarios, leaving the agent to guess based on naming patterns alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states it's a list operation but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like pagination, sorting, filtering capabilities, rate limits, authentication requirements, or what format the returned data takes. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how it behaves.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without any unnecessary words. It's perfectly front-loaded and every word earns its place, making it easy to understand at a glance.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness2/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool has no annotations, no output schema, and the description provides only basic purpose information, this leaves significant gaps. For a list operation that likely returns multiple items, the description should address format, pagination, or filtering constraints to be complete enough for an agent to use it effectively.

    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 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters, maintaining focus on the tool's purpose. This meets the baseline expectation for parameterless tools.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('campaigns') with scope ('all campaigns in your Mailchimp account'). It distinguishes from sibling 'get_campaign' which retrieves a single campaign, but doesn't explicitly differentiate from other list_* tools. The purpose is specific and unambiguous.

    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?

    The description implies usage when needing to see all campaigns rather than a specific one, but doesn't provide explicit guidance on when to use this vs. alternatives like 'get_campaign' or other list_* tools. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned, leaving usage context somewhat implied rather than clearly defined.

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

  • Behavior2/5

    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 mentions the tool lists 'all lists' but doesn't specify behavioral traits like pagination, rate limits, authentication needs, or what the output format looks like. For a read operation with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves.

    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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core purpose ('List all lists in your Mailchimp account') and adds a brief clarifying note ('for automation recipients'). There is no wasted verbiage, and every part of the sentence contributes meaning.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness3/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the tool has 0 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate but lacks completeness. It states what the tool does but doesn't cover behavioral aspects like output format or usage constraints, which are important for a tool that likely returns a list of resources. The context is sufficient for basic understanding but incomplete for reliable agent invocation.

    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 input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters, and the baseline for this scenario is 4, as it avoids unnecessary repetition of schema information.

    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?

    The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('all lists in your Mailchimp account'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_list' (which likely retrieves a single list), though the 'list_' prefix pattern across siblings provides some implicit distinction.

    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?

    The description includes a parenthetical note 'for automation recipients', which implies usage context related to automation workflows. However, it doesn't provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_list' or other list-related tools, nor does it specify any prerequisites or exclusions.

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