Automox MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v2.2.9
- Disambiguation3/5
With 129 tools, there is significant overlap in functionality. For example, multiple device search tools (advanced_device_search, search_devices, get_saved_search_results) exist with similar purposes. However, the detailed descriptions help distinguish them, but the sheer volume creates ambiguity.
Naming Consistency4/5Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (create_, delete_, list_, etc.), but there are exceptions like 'devices_needing_attention' and 'noncompliant_report' which are noun phrases. Overall consistency is high with minor deviations.
Tool Count2/5129 tools is excessive for any server. While the domain is broad, this number overwhelms agents and makes tool selection difficult. A more curated set (e.g., 20-40) would be more appropriate.
Completeness5/5The tool set is extremely comprehensive, covering all major aspects of the Automox platform: devices, groups, policies, windows, users, webhooks, Splashtop, action sets, and more. It provides CRUD operations and specialized reports, leaving no obvious gaps.
Average 3.7/5 across 129 of 129 tools scored. Lowest: 2/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true, so the description doesn't add new behavioral insights. It does not mention side effects like sending invitation emails or permission requirements, leaving the agent underinformed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, but it achieves conciseness at the cost of omitting critical details. It is too brief to be maximally useful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 4 parameters, 0% schema coverage, and a potentially complex output schema, the description is insufficient. It lacks explanations for required fields and role semantics, making the tool hard to use correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description only hints at zone_assignments. It fails to explain the 'email', 'account_rbac_role', or 'request_id' parameters, which are essential for correct invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Invite a user' and the resource 'Automox account', with optional zone assignments. It distinguishes from sibling tools like remove_user_from_account and list_users, though it could be more specific about the invitation mechanism.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as update_user or remove_user_from_account. No context on prerequisites or when not to use it.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description adds little beyond stating it's a list operation. It doesn't disclose pagination behavior, sorting, or result structure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise, but it sacrifices necessary detail for brevity. It is front-loaded but incomplete.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 4 parameters, no output schema, and no parameter descriptions, the single-sentence description is insufficient to guide correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should explain parameters. It only implicitly refers to zone_id but provides no details on page, limit, or output_format.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (list), resource (users), and identifier (zone UUID). It distinctively separates from sibling tools like 'list_users' and 'list_zones_for_user'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 over alternatives, such as 'list_users' for all users or 'list_zones_for_user' for zones assigned to a user.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructive behavior (destructiveHint: true). The description adds that it performs automatic format correction, but does not detail what that entails, what gets destroyed, or any authentication requirements. It adds some context but not extensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise but under-specified. It conveys the core action but could include more detail without being verbose. The structure is fine but does not earn extra points for completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, the description still lacks important context like error handling, idempotency, scope of operation, and what 'automatic format correction' implies. It is not complete for a mutation tool with potential destructive effects.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the parameters (operations, preview, request_id). The agent must rely on parameter names alone, which are somewhat self-explanatory but lack specifics about the structure of operations objects or the effect of preview.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it creates or updates Automox policies, with automatic format correction. It distinguishes from read tools and other policy manipulation tools like clone_policy, delete_policy. However, it doesn't specify if it applies to all policies or a subset.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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. There is no mention of prerequisites, when to use preview mode, or when to prefer other policy tools like create_policy or update_policy.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate destructive operation and open world hint. The description adds the live-verified range for refresh_interval, but does not expand on other behavioral aspects like irreversibility, required permissions, or side effects. Given annotations, the description provides marginal extra value.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short (2 sentences) and gets to the point, but it omits important information that would be necessary for safe tool selection and invocation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 7 parameters, no enums, and a destructive operation, the description should provide context on required parameters, constraints, and typical use cases. It only covers refresh_interval, leaving the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Only the refresh_interval parameter is described (the same as in the schema), leaving the other 6 parameters undocumented. With only 14% schema coverage, the description fails to compensate for the missing parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a new Automox server group, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like update_server_group or delete_server_group, but the name and purpose are self-explanatory.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no mention of prerequisites (e.g., parent group must exist), or when not to use it. The description is purely functional.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, etc. The description adds value by clarifying the `status` field behavior based on live observation, noting that 'active' is a spec-only example. However, it does not disclose other behavioral traits like latency or authentication needs.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences and a reference. The first sentence clearly states the purpose, but the reference to 'metadata.field_notes' may be ambiguous without context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 2 parameters, no output schema, and annotations present, the description covers the core purpose and a key field behavior. However, it does not outline what 'details' include or provide expectations for the output.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no information about either parameter (action_set_id, output_format). It does not compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get details for a specific vulnerability remediation action set,' specifying the verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_action_set_issues and get_action_set_solutions by focusing on general details, but does not explicitly differentiate.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 when not to use it, nor does it reference sibling tools or conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive nature. The description adds that it returns field names and types, which aligns with annotations. No contradictions, but little additional behavioral context beyond what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two clear sentences with no unnecessary words. Information is front-loaded and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read-only metadata tool, the description conveys the purpose and return concept but omits parameter details and output format. It is adequate but not fully complete given the absence of output schema and parameter descriptions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% for the single parameter 'output_format', and the description does not mention this parameter at all. The agent gets no explanation of what 'output_format' does or its allowed values beyond the schema definition.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('available fields for device queries'), and mentions returning field names and types. It is clear but does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling 'get_searchable_fields', which may serve a similar purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives. The description does not mention any prerequisites, context, 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.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true. The description adds that the tool returns an 'initial status', hinting at asynchronous processing. However, it does not disclose potential side effects, required permissions, or behavior under failure beyond what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise and to the point. It front-loads the key action and output. However, it is slightly under-specified, which prevents a perfect score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that the tool has an object parameter and an output schema, the description provides minimal context. It does not explain what extract_data should contain, potential errors, or prerequisites. The presence of siblings like list_data_extracts and get_data_extract implies a workflow, but the description lacks completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the parameters (extract_data and request_id). Since the description adds no meaning beyond the raw schema, it fails to compensate for the missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Request a new data extract'), the resource ('data extract'), and the purpose ('for bulk reporting'). It also specifies the return value (extract ID and initial status), distinguishing it from siblings like get_data_extract and list_data_extracts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies creation but does not mention when not to use it or suggest sibling tools like get_data_extract for retrieval. Sibling differentiation is only implicit through naming.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, so the description's mention of 'Approve or reject' aligns. However, the description adds no extra behavioral context beyond the annotations, such as what happens upon approval/rejection or if notifications are sent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. However, it is too brief to cover necessary details, sacrificing completeness for conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description lacks crucial information about parameter values and usage context. The agent cannot determine valid inputs for 'decision' or understand the tool's role in the patch approval workflow, making it incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage and no enums. The description does not explain any parameters, such as the valid values for 'decision' (e.g., 'approve', 'reject') or the purpose of 'approval_id'. This leaves the agent without crucial information to use the tool correctly.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Approve or reject') and the resource ('Automox patch approval request'), and it distinguishes from siblings like patch_approvals_summary, which likely lists approvals rather than deciding on them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites, and no context about when to approve or reject. Sibling tools like patch_approvals_summary suggest a workflow, but it is not mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds 'permanently', which reinforces the destructive nature but does not elaborate on side effects, authorization needs, or what happens to associated data. With annotations covering the core traits, the description's added value is marginal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. However, it could include brief parameter guidance without sacrificing conciseness. Overall, it efficiently conveys the core action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, return values are not needed. However, for a delete operation with 3 parameters (only 1 required), the description omits context on how to identify the window and the role of optional parameters. The agent needs external knowledge to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate by explaining parameters. It provides no details about window_uuid (how to obtain it), org_uuid (what it does, why optional), or request_id (purpose). The description adds no semantic value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses 'Delete' as a specific verb and identifies the resource as 'a maintenance/exclusion window', with 'permanently' clarifying the outcome. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like create_policy_window, update_policy_window, and get_policy_window.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 (e.g., when to delete vs. update or check). There are no prerequisites or context about policy windows or the required window_uuid.
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?
While annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, the description adds minimal transparency by mentioning 'remediation' and scope. However, it fails to disclose what the 'action' parameter does, any side effects, authorization requirements, or rate limits, leaving significant gaps for the agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the purpose. However, it sacrifices necessary detail for brevity, earning a slightly lower score as it does not fully earn its place by covering key aspects.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity, the absence of parameter descriptions, and the existence of an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the 'action' parameter, the return value, or prerequisites, leaving the agent with substantial uncertainty.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description only hints at 'device_id' through 'all devices or specific device'. It does not explain the meaning of 'policy_id', 'action', or 'request_id', nor does it provide examples or constraints. The agent lacks critical information to invoke the tool correctly.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'execute' and the resource 'Automox policy' with a specific purpose 'for remediation'. It also specifies scope 'all devices or specific device', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like apply_policy_changes or policy_detail.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for immediate remediation but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as apply_policy_changes or clone_policy. No when-not-to-use or exclusion criteria are given.
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?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint. The description adds no behavioral context beyond 'list', such as pagination, permissions, or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no wasted words. However, it could be slightly more structured by hinting at parameters or output.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema and no description of return values or pagination. For a list tool, more context is needed to understand the response format and handling of large datasets.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention any parameters. It provides no additional meaning beyond the schema itself, which is very minimal.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The title 'List Zones' and description 'List the zones (organizations) in the Automox account' clearly state the action and resource. It is distinct from sibling tools like 'get_zone' (single zone) and 'list_zones_for_user' (filtered).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for listing all zones but does not explicitly mention when to use this versus alternatives like 'list_zones_for_user' or 'get_zone'. No when-not or alternative guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide destructiveHint and idempotentHint; the description adds 'permanently' but does not offer additional behavioral context such as authorization requirements or impact on related entities.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with no fluff, though it could be expanded to cover parameters without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple delete operation with annotations, the description is adequate but fails to explain parameters, leaving a gap in understanding for the agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the description does not explain any parameters; the agent gets no help understanding what saved_search_id or request_id expect or their role.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (delete), the resource (saved device search), and the method (by ID), which distinguishes it from siblings like update_saved_search.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 vs alternatives, no prerequisites, or consequences such as cascading effects on related data.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable context about severity and status being coded strings with observed transitions and unverified specifications, going beyond the structured metadata.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is two sentences, front-loaded with purpose and then technical detail. Efficient and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given existence of output schema, the description need not detail all return fields. However, it omits high-level overview of the output structure and relies on external references. Adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to explain the parameters (action_set_id and output_format). It only discusses output field semantics, not parameter meaning or acceptable values.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves solutions (patches/configurations) for a vulnerability action set. It uses a specific verb and resource, but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like get_action_set_issues or get_action_set_detail.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites or exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true. The description adds no new behavioral context beyond confirming it is a list operation. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no fluff, front-loaded with purpose. Efficiently conveys the core functionality.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Tool is simple with rich annotations, but lacks output schema and parameter details. Description is adequate for a read-only operation but does not fully address the complexity of sibling tools or output behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 0% description coverage. The description does not elaborate on parameters (user_id and output_format). While user_id is self-explanatory, output_format (default 'json') lacks explanation. Schema dependency is high, but description fails to compensate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does 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 'zones (organizations) a given user belongs to'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_zones (all zones) and list_zone_users (users in a zone) by specifying the user scope. However, it does not explicitly differentiate itself.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The context is implied but not stated. It does not mention when not to use it or any prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds important behavioral context: it clarifies that device_outcomes are aggregated counts, not run statuses, and explains how to interpret runs with no successes/failures. This goes beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences. The first sentence front-loads the primary purpose. The second sentence adds necessary clarifying detail without excess. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description is incomplete. It explains only the output interpretation for device_outcomes. It omits any parameter documentation (4 parameters, 1 required) and does not describe the overall structure of the response. Important usage context is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 4 parameters (policy_uuid, org_uuid, report_days, limit) with 0% documentation coverage. The description does not explain any parameter semantics, purpose, or constraints, leaving the agent without critical information to invoke the tool correctly.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the tool reviews recent executions for a policy, which is a clear verb+resource. It adds nuance about device_outcomes being counts per outcome, not run statuses, partially distinguishing it from sibling tools like policy_run_detail_v2, but does not explicitly differentiate from all related tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites or exclusions. The description only explains output interpretation, leaving the agent to infer usage context from the name and siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. Description adds 'remove' which aligns, but no additional behavioral details such as required permissions or impact on user's devices.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no verbosity. Essential information front-loaded. Perfectly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Low complexity (2 params, 1 required) and output schema exists, but description omits return value and doesn't confirm whether removal is reversible or what happens on success.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%. Description does not explain the optional 'request_id' parameter. Only 'user_id' is obvious from context. Agent lacks clarity on purpose of request_id.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states verb 'Remove', resource 'user from Automox account', and identifier 'by UUID'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'invite_user_to_account' and 'update_user', but could clarify if user is deleted or just disassociated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'invite_user_to_account' or 'list_users'. Also no preconditions or effects mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds value beyond annotations by explaining that start/end are derived from dtstart+duration_minutes+rrule (not stored), and timezone basis follows use_local_tz. Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive; description supplements with system behavior details.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with clear, front-loaded purpose. The first sentence delivers main action and return values. Second sentence adds necessary detail without verbosity. Could be slightly more structured (e.g., bullet parameters) but remains efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers core functionality and derived-field behavior. Missing description for 'org_uuid' parameter. Output schema exists, so return values need not be explained. Annotation openWorldHint could be addressed, but not critical. Fairly complete for a read tool with annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. Only the 'date' parameter is described (ISO 8601 UTC, optional). 'device_uuid' is implied by tool name but not elaborated; 'org_uuid' is not mentioned at all. Incomplete parameter coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it gets upcoming scheduled maintenance periods for a specific device, specifying return values (start/end times, window types) and optional date limit. It is specific about the verb and resource, but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like get_group_scheduled_windows.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_group_scheduled_windows or search_policy_windows. The description implies usage for device-specific windows but provides no exclusions or comparative context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true. The description adds no behavioral context beyond the annotation, so it is adequate but not enhanced.

Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% for the single parameter 'output_format', and the description does not mention or explain this parameter. The description adds no value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does 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 'RBAC roles available in the Automox account'. It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools that list other entities.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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. There is no mention of contexts, prerequisites, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already cover readOnly, destructive, idempotent, and openWorld hints. The description adds that it includes 'recent history', which is helpful context beyond annotations. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no unnecessary words. However, it could be more informative by including parameter hints without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that an output schema exists and annotations are rich, the description is minimally adequate. However, it does not explain what 'configuration' or 'recent history' entails, leaving some ambiguity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema documentation coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. It does not explain what policy_id is or how include_recent_runs affects the result. It provides no semantic meaning for the parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Retrieve configuration and recent history for a policy' with a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from other policy read tools like policy_history_detail or policy_catalog, so it loses some points for 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 Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit when, when-not, or alternative tools are mentioned. The readOnlyHint and idempotentHint imply safe usage, but there is no guidance on when to use this versus other policy retrieval tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true. Description adds context about refresh_interval parameter (live-verified range), but does not explain pagination behavior or response size. Adds some value beyond annotations but not extensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, but the second sentence about refresh_interval seems misplaced and unclear whether it's about an input parameter or output field. Could be more concise by focusing on the core listing behavior and pagination.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Tool has 3 optional parameters and no output schema. Description tells what is returned but omits how to paginate or change output format. Lacks completeness given the need to guide agent on param usage. Incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. However, description does not explain the three parameters (page, limit, output_format). It mentions 'refresh_interval' which is not in the schema, causing confusion. Fails to add necessary parameter meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it lists all Automox server groups with device counts and assigned policies. The verb 'List' and resource 'server groups' are specific. Distinguishes from siblings like get_server_group and list_devices.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate this is a safe, idempotent, read-only operation. The description adds value by explaining the semantics of the output fields: `exit_code` (including a note about NTSTATUS codes on Windows) and `result_status`. This helps the agent interpret results correctly, though it does not disclose other behavioral details like error handling or data freshness.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description consists of two sentences, with the primary action stated first and technical details provided in the second sentence. It is well-structured, efficient, and avoids redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 9 input parameters, none are described in the schema, and the description only explains the two required ones implicitly. No details on optional parameters, pagination, or filtering logic. The presence of an output schema mitigates the need to describe return values, but input parameter information is critically lacking.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description bears the full burden of explaining parameters, but it only indirectly mentions `policy_uuid` and `exec_token` via the phrase 'specific policy execution token'.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description starts with 'Retrieve per-device results and output for a specific policy execution token', which clearly states the action (retrieve) and resource (per-device policy run results). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like policy_runs_v2 which likely return aggregated data.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 alternative policy run tools. It does not specify prerequisites, exclusions, or context for selection, leaving the agent to infer from the 'per-device' qualifier.

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create_user_api_key or delete_user_api_key). Missing context for enabling/disabling vs other operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description adds minimal behavioral context. It does not disclose side effects (e.g., overwriting existing assignments) or prerequisites, but does not contradict annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no extraneous information. The description is front-loaded with the core action and parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the output schema exists, the description lacks context on return values, behavior details (e.g., partial failures), and prerequisites. It is minimally complete given the annotations, but gaps remain.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description only lists two parameters (saved_search_uuid, policy_ids) without explaining their format, constraints, or the optional request_id. This is insufficient for a 3-parameter tool.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: bulk-assign policies to the result set of a saved device search. It specifies the action (assign), resource (saved search result set), and key parameters (UUID and policy IDs), distinguishing it from sibling tools like apply_policy_changes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Sibling tools include apply_policy_changes and other policy-related functions, but the description does not specify contexts or exclusion criteria.

- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the description doesn't need to repeat that. However, the description adds one behavioral detail (access_key never surfaced) but does not elaborate on other potential side effects or required permissions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with two sentences: the first states the core purpose, and the second adds a critical detail. No superfluous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the output schema exists (not shown), the description lacks context about side effects, error conditions, or prerequisite steps. For a creation tool with destructiveHint=true, more context is expected to ensure safe usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the description adds no explanation for the parameters 'name' and 'request_id'. With low coverage, the description must compensate, but it fails to do so, leaving the agent without guidance on parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Create' and the resource 'zone (organization)', distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_zone, list_zones, etc. The additional note about access_key not being surfaced adds specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has two parameters (group_id, request_id) with zero description coverage. The description does not explain their roles or valid values (e.g., what request_id is used for). The agent must guess from names alone, which is insufficient.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Delete an Automox server group permanently' clearly states the action (delete), resource (server group), and scope (permanently). The name 'delete_server_group' matches, and sibling tools like 'create_server_group' and 'update_server_group' confirm this tool's distinct purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 deactivating a group or removing devices first. No prerequisites or post-conditions are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer context from the destructive hint alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, and idempotentHint, so the description's job is lighter. It adds value by specifying the returned fields (id, name, type, timestamps). No contradictions with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 4 parameters and no output schema, the description is missing explanation of 'output_format' and what the result set structure looks like. Adequate but not complete for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description only explains 'page + limit' for pagination. It does not explain 'saved_search_id' or 'output_format', though the latter has a default. Partial compensation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the verb 'execute' and 'retrieve' along with the resource 'saved device search results'. Distinguishes from siblings like 'get_saved_search' which retrieves the search definition.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_cached_search_results' or 'run_saved_search'. The description only states functionality without usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false. Description adds context about 'refresh_interval' field in response, beyond annotations. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no verbosity. First sentence states purpose efficiently. Second sentence adds useful but somewhat tangential info. Could be more focused on parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequate for a simple get tool with output schema present. However, lacks differentiation from other 'get' siblings for different resources (e.g., get_device, get_zone). Not fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Single parameter 'group_id' has 0% schema description coverage. Description does not explain 'group_id' at all; instead discusses unrelated 'refresh_interval' output field. Fails to add value for parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the action 'Get detailed information' and the resource 'specific Automox server group'. Distinguishes from sibling 'list_server_groups' by specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies usage when needing details of one group, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use (e.g., for bulk listing use 'list_server_groups') or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds filtering behavior but does not disclose other traits beyond what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the key action and resource, with no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with optional params and no output schema, the description is adequate but could be more complete by explaining the output_format parameter.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description explains the 'days' parameter but does not mention the 'output_format' parameter. With 0% schema coverage, it partially compensates.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it returns aggregate policy execution counts with optional day filtering. However, it does not distinguish itself from the sibling tool 'policy_execution_counts', which might have a similar purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for getting counts filtered by days but provides no guidance on when not to use it or alternatives like 'policy_execution_counts'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and readOnlyHint=false, which aligns with the description. The description adds no additional behavioral context beyond these annotations, such as permission requirements or side effects. It does not contradict the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 12 words, front-loaded with the action and resource. Every word is necessary, and there is no redundancy or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (toggle enable/disable), an output schema exists so return values need not be described. The description covers the essential purpose. It could note that only the enabled status is updated, but the title and sibling tools make this clear. Adequately complete for the task.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it only implicitly explains key_id (by ID) and is_enabled (enable/disable). The optional request_id parameter is not mentioned at all. The description adds minimal value beyond what the schema implies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'enable or disable' a 'global (account-scoped) API key' identified 'by ID'. This is specific and distinguishes the tool from siblings like create_global_api_key, delete_global_api_key, and list_global_api_keys.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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, nor does it mention prerequisites, exclusions, or when not to use it. It simply states the action without contextual usage advice.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide destructiveHint and idempotentHint. The description adds that it is a 'partial update' and references the query syntax from another tool, which are useful but not extensive. It doesn't disclose side effects, permission requirements, or error conditions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the core purpose, and each sentence provides value without redundancy. It efficiently communicates the partial update requirement and query syntax reference.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description lacks details about the request_id parameter, return behavior (though output schema exists), and error handling. For a tool with 5 parameters and 0% schema coverage, more context would help, but the output schema partially compensates.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description covers 3 of 5 parameters (name, query, description) by stating they are optional and that at least one is required. The query parameter's format is linked to another tool. The request_id parameter is not mentioned, leaving a gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool updates an existing saved device search and specifies it is a partial update. The verb 'Update' and resource 'saved device search' are specific, but it does not explicitly differentiate from other sibling tools like create_saved_search or delete_saved_search, though the name and context make it clear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description advises to provide at least one of name, query, or description, which guides usage. However, it does not specify when not to use this tool (e.g., when to use create_saved_search instead) or mention any prerequisites like the saved search must exist.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true. The description adds the detail of returning a per-group boolean status, which is consistent with annotations but adds minimal extra 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words, covering the main action, resource, and output efficiently.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read tool with an output schema, the description is adequate but lacks parameter explanations. Given the schemaless parameter descriptions, completeness is partially hindered.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain parameters. It fails to add meaning about 'group_uuids' or 'org_uuid' beyond what the schema names indicate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'check', the resource 'server groups', and the result 'per-group boolean status'. It distinguishes from sibling tool 'check_window_active' by specifying server groups.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for checking exclusion windows but offers no explicit when-to-use or alternatives. With many sibling tools, guidance on when not to use would help.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description adds critical behavioral info: 'Returns metadata only — the key secret is never surfaced and cannot be retrieved via MCP.' This goes beyond annotations (destructiveHint=true, etc.) and clarifies a key safety aspect.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no fluff, front-loaded with action and scope. Every sentence adds value, achieving maximum conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema and good annotations, the description omits parameter explanations, which is a gap. However, it covers the key behavioral nuance (secret not retrievable), making it minimally adequate for a creation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the 3 parameters (name, expires_at, request_id). The description adds no semantic value for parameters, leaving agents to infer from schema alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create a global (account-scoped) API key', specifying the action and resource. It also distinguishes from user-scoped keys (sibling 'create_user_api_key'), making the scope explicit.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for account-level API keys but does not provide explicit when-to-use vs alternatives or when-not-to-use. No exclusions or alternative tools are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds 'Permanently delete', which reinforces irreversibility. However, it does not disclose additional behavioral details like whether cascading deletions occur or if confirmation is needed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that conveys the essential information without extraneous detail. Every word is functional.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple deletion tool with annotations and an output schema present, the description covers the core purpose and required inputs. It notes permanence. Minor gap: no mention of idempotency despite idempotentHint=true, but this is partially covered by annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description partially compensates by explaining that user_id and key_id identify the API key to delete. However, the optional request_id parameter is not mentioned, leaving its purpose unclear. The description adds some value beyond the schema but is incomplete.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('delete'), resource ('user API key'), and required identifiers ('by user ID and key ID'). It distinguishes this tool from related operations like create_user_api_key, get_user_api_key, or update_user_api_key.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 such as delete_global_api_key, or other deletion tools. It does not mention prerequisites, consequences, or conditions for use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, non-destructive, idempotent, and open-world. Description adds significant behavioral context: explains compliance rule (non-compliant only when remediation needed, pending tracked separately), and what metrics are included (managed/unmanaged breakdown, status, check-in recency). No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose and scope. The second sentence adds valuable behavioral detail about compliance, but could be slightly more concise. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequately describes return metrics for a fleet health overview tool with existing output schema. However, missing parameter-level context (e.g., what limit and max_stale_devices control) which is important for proper invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no explanation for any of the 4 parameters (group_id, include_unmanaged, limit, max_stale_devices). The description does not compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it aggregates organization-wide device health statistics including breakdowns and compliance metrics. However, it could more explicitly differentiate from similar tools like policy_compliance_stats or compliance_snapshot.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies use for monitoring dashboards and fleet-wide overview, but does not specify when not to use it or provide alternatives. Guidance is implied rather than explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds that it is cached and keyed by search execution ID, which is useful but minimal. It does not disclose additional behaviors like data freshness, rate limits, or error handling.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, each serving a distinct purpose: stating the function and differentiating from a sibling. No unnecessary words. Well front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 4 parameters and no output schema, the description is minimal. It doesn't specify pagination behavior, default values, or what happens if the search_id is invalid. However, the annotations provide some safety context, and the sibling list helps. It is adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter descriptions. The description only mentions 'keyed by search execution ID' which hints at search_id, but does not explain the meaning of page, limit, or output_format parameters. Thus, it fails to add value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves cached results from a previously-executed device search, using a search execution ID. It explicitly distinguishes from get_saved_search_results, which is a sibling tool that re-executes a saved search. This provides high specificity and differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives context on when to use this tool (retrieve cached results) and explicitly contrasts with get_saved_search_results. However, it doesn't mention other alternatives or when not to use it, missing some guidance on exclusion.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true. Description adds no behavioral context, but annotations are sufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One concise sentence with no unnecessary words or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read-only tool with one optional parameter and safety annotations, the description covers the core purpose. It could mention the return format or that it returns a list, but it is adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Single parameter 'output_format' with default 'json' is self-explanatory from the schema. Description adds no parameter details; with 0% schema description coverage, the description does not compensate, but the parameter is trivial.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resources 'device-to-policy and device-to-group assignments', distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_device_by_uuid or list_devices.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or context for its use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds significant behavioral detail beyond annotations: bitmask sibling fields, timezone-less time strings, enum vocabulary for severity, and the distinct handling of 'unknown' vs 'no_known_cves'. No contradictions with readOnlyHint or idempotentHint.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with purpose but becomes verbose with detailed enum documentation. It could be more concise, though the details are valuable. About 100 words, slightly above ideal.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that output schema exists, the description compensates well for output behavior. However, it fails to document input parameters, which is a significant gap for a tool with 2 parameters and no schema coverage. The complexity is moderate, but completeness suffers.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the two parameters (group_id, detail_limit). It only describes output behavior, leaving parameter semantics entirely undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('get/view') and resource ('patch Tuesday readiness'), and distinguishes it as a combined view of pre-patch report, pending approvals, and patch policy schedules. This sets it apart from sibling tools like prepatch_report or patch_approvals_summary.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for checking readiness in a single call, but does not explicitly discuss when to use alternatives or when not to use it. The sibling list is long but no comparisons are made, so guidance is minimal.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive nature. The description adds critical behavioral info: the zone access_key is never surfaced, which is a meaningful security caveat beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no redundancy. The first sentence defines the primary purpose, the second adds a crucial behavioral note. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, so agents rely on description for return value info. The description notes the absence of access_key but does not describe other fields or error behavior. Adequate for a simple retrieval but incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It explains zone_id's role ('by UUID') but does not mention output_format at all, leaving half the parameters undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get'), resource ('zone' with synonym 'organization'), and identifier method ('by UUID'). It distinguishes from siblings like list_zones and create_zone.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_zones or list_zone_users. The mention of 'by UUID' implies a lookup but does not provide context for decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that results are 'aggregate,' but does not detail pagination, limits, or return structure. Some context is added but not extensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no fluff. Every sentence serves a clear role.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema exists, but the description does not detail what 'aggregate results' includes (e.g., which metrics). While simple, it lacks content for an agent to fully understand the output.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the description does not explain the single parameter (output_format). With no compensation, the agent receives no extra meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves policy runs grouped by policy for cross-policy comparison, distinguishing it from siblings like policy_runs_for_policy. The verb 'get' and resource 'policy runs' are specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description says 'for cross-policy comparison,' which gives context on when to use it. However, it does not explicitly exclude other tools like policy_runs_for_policy for single-policy queries.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint: true and readOnlyHint: false. The description adds valuable behavioral context: the install runs asynchronously and the distinction between request_permission and per-session attended access. This goes beyond what annotations provide. However, it does not disclose potential side effects like system modifications or reboot requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Comprises two clear, front-loaded sentences with no filler. Efficiently conveys the core action and key nuances. Could be slightly improved by separating the asynchronous note into its own sentence or bullet for clarity, but overall well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 6 parameters (2 required), a destructive nature, and many sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain required parameters like os_family (valid values?), device_uuid format, and how organization_uuid or account_type affect behavior. The asynchronous nature and permission control are addressed, but overall coverage is sparse for such a complex tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only explains the request_permission parameter, clarifying its role in user prompting vs. attended access. Other parameters (device_uuid, os_family, organization_uuid, account_type, request_id) are left unexplained, leaving gaps for a tool with 6 parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it installs the Splashtop RMM client on a device. The verb 'Install' and resource 'Splashtop RMM client' are specific. Among sibling tools like splashtop_uninstall and splashtop_device_status, this description unambiguously identifies the installation action.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides some implicit guidance by mentioning asynchronous execution, the request_permission parameter, and the requirement of a Remote Control subscription. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when not to use it, or contrasts with other Splashtop operations). The usage context is implied but not fully elaborated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description mentions it sends a test delivery (side effect), and returns success, HTTP status, and response time. This adds behavioral context beyond the annotations (destructiveHint: true). It is sufficiently transparent about what the tool does.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—two sentences, no redundant information. Every word adds value, and the key action and return values are front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While an output schema exists (not shown), the description covers return values. However, missing parameter descriptions and lack of usage guidelines make it incomplete for a 3-parameter tool with no schema descriptions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema documentation coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It does not describe webhook_id, org_uuid, or request_id at all, leaving the agent without guidance on how to use them. This is a critical gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Send a test delivery to an Automox webhook endpoint', specifying a specific action (send test) and resource (webhook). It distinguishes this from sibling tools like create_webhook, delete_webhook, etc., which have different purposes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide context like prerequisites or cases when it should not be used. The purpose is clear but no guidance on selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
DestructiveHint annotation already indicates write operation; description adds query syntax details but doesn't mention side effects, permissions, or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no fluff; first sentence states purpose, second provides parameter guidance and example.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Output schema exists so return values not needed. Mentions org scoping. Could add uniqueness or naming constraints, but overall sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema coverage, description compensates well by explaining the structured query dict with an example and covering name, query, and description. request_id is omitted.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'create a new saved device search' with key inputs. Differentiates from sibling tools like update_saved_search but doesn't explicitly call out differences.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides context on inputs and references advanced_device_search for query syntax, but does not specify when not to use it or compare to alternatives like update_saved_search.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds valuable behavioral context: it explains that integer policy codes include a status_label (with specific compliance interpretation) and that uptime_minutes is sampled at last full scan and may lag. This goes beyond annotations to clarify data semantics and freshness.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long and front-loaded with the core purpose. Every sentence adds relevant detail (status_label, uptime behavior) without redundancy or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description explains key response aspects (policy codes, uptime). However, it could provide a broader overview of the 'near-raw payload' structure or mention other important fields. Despite this, it offers sufficient context for a simple retrieval tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. However, the description does not explain the purpose or format of either parameter (device_uuid, output_format). It only indirectly references UUID in the tool name. No additional meaning is added for the parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves the 'near-raw device payload by UUID' via the canonical /servers endpoint. The verb 'get' and resource 'device payload by UUID' are specific and unambiguous, providing strong purpose clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternative tools such as 'device_detail', 'get_device_full_profile', or 'list_devices'. No exclusions or context about tool selection are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, covering the safety and idempotency aspects. The description adds the context that it returns 'Org-independent metadata' and provides examples, but does not significantly expand beyond what annotations convey.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the primary action, and contains no redundant or extraneous information. Every word serves a purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the low complexity (no required parameters, no output schema, simple listing action), the description provides adequate context: it names the output (scope options), explains it's org-independent metadata, and gives examples. The only minor gap is not addressing the optional output_format parameter, but its default value mitigates the need for a full explanation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter (output_format) with zero description coverage. The tool description does not mention the parameter at all, leaving the agent without guidance on its purpose or allowed values beyond the schema's type and default.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark the tool as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds value by detailing the returned fields (device count, limit, parent org, trial end time) and warning about the unreliable tier slug. This goes beyond what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description consists of two concise sentences that convey purpose, return fields, and a usage warning. It is front-loaded with the core action and avoids unnecessary words, though it could be slightly more structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 3 parameters and no output schema, the description covers return fields and usage context. However, it omits critical details about pagination via page/limit and the effect of output_format. This leaves gaps for a list tool that likely returns paginated results.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 3 parameters (page, limit, output_format) with 0% schema description coverage. The description does not mention these parameters at all, leaving the agent to infer their purpose from the schema alone, which lacks descriptions. This fails to compensate for the missing schema details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'organizations visible to the API key', and it lists specific fields returned. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling listing tools like list_devices or list_users, which target different resources.

Given the tool has five parameters and an output schema, the description covers the main return values and a critical caveat. However, it lacks explanation of optional Boolean parameters, though the output schema likely fills some gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description carries the full burden. However, the description does not explain the five input parameters (e.g., include_packages, include_inventory) or their defaults, leaving the agent without semantic guidance beyond names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns 'detailed information and recent activity for a device' and specifies the compliance rollup, differentiating it from sibling tools like device_health_metrics or get_device_full_profile.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies this tool is for retrieving comprehensive device details, but it does not explicitly state when to use it over alternatives like get_device_full_profile or device_health_metrics.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds context that the tool returns CVEs tracked for remediation, which is useful beyond annotations. However, it does not mention return format or any rate limits/auth needs, but annotations cover the key safety traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, zero wasted words. The first sentence states the core function, the second adds context. Front-loaded and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple (2 params, no output schema), so the brief description might suffice, but it lacks parameter details and return value explanation. The annotations help, but overall completeness is mediocre for an agent that needs to invoke it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description does not explain the parameters (action_set_id, output_format). It only refers to 'action set' in the first sentence, leaving agents to infer parameter meanings. No default values or format options are clarified.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'vulnerability issues (CVEs) associated with an action set.' It specifies the content (CVEs) and purpose (tracked for remediation), distinguishing it from siblings like get_action_set_detail and get_action_set_solutions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when needing to see tracked vulnerabilities, but it does not explicitly state when to use vs. alternatives (e.g., list_remediation_action_sets, get_action_set_detail). No exclusion criteria or contextual guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint. The description adds value by stating 'Secrets are never surfaced,' which is a behavioral guarantee beyond annotations. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, extremely concise, front-loaded with action and resource. Every word is meaningful; no filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given two parameters, no output schema, and many siblings, the description covers the main purpose and a safety note (secrets). However, it lacks details on output format and fails to guide parameter usage. Adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'numeric ID' for user_id but does not explain output_format (optional, default 'json') or its semantics. With two parameters and no schema descriptions, the description provides minimal added meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it retrieves a single user by numeric ID, including membership and roles, and distinguishes from sibling tools like list_users (list) and get_account_user (different scope). The verb 'Get' and resource 'user' are specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage context is implied (when you need a single user by ID), but no explicit when-not or alternatives among many sibling tools (e.g., list_users, get_account_user) are provided. The description lacks guidance on when to choose this over other user-related tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, indicating a safe read operation. The description adds value by disclosing that the report includes fields like 'reason_for_fail' (with truncation warning), 'severity', and 'type', which aids in understanding the output. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long with no fluff. The first sentence states the action and purpose, the second lists key fields. Information is front-loaded and every sentence contributes meaning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description adequately covers what the report returns but lacks guidance on input parameters (e.g., how to filter by group, pagination). An output schema exists but is not shown; the agent still needs parameter usage context. Given the complexity of 4 parameters, the description is incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter details are provided in the schema. The description does not mention any of the four parameters (group_id, limit, offset, output_format) or their effects. The agent must infer from parameter names alone, which is insufficient for correct invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves a specific resource (the non-compliant devices report) and explains its purpose (showing devices needing attention due to policy failures or missing patches). It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'devices_needing_attention' by detailing the report's content.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for checking non-compliant devices and mentions fields for prioritization, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'devices_needing_attention' or 'get_compliance_snapshot'. No exclusions or prerequisites are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, non-destructive, idempotent. Description adds valuable context about schedule_days bitmask and schedule_time timezone ambiguity beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences: first sentence states purpose, second provides critical field-level detail. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequate for a simple list tool, but lacks explanation of output shape and parameter defaults. OpenWorldHint and no output schema leave some gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% parameter description coverage. Description does not explain input parameters (limit, page, etc.), only mentions output field quirks. Fails to compensate for low coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool lists Automox policies with type and status summaries, distinguishing it from sibling tools like clone_policy, delete_policy, or policy_detail.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implied usage for listing policies, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use compared to alternatives such as policy_detail or policy_compliance_stats.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds value beyond annotations by explaining the meaning of exit_code (raw process exit code, NTSTATUS handling) and result_status (lowercase per-device outcome). Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so no contradiction. The description provides behavioral context but could mention pagination behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise: two sentences for purpose and context, plus two inline explanations for key response fields. It is front-loaded with the main action and avoids unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the purpose is clear, the description lacks details on response format (no output schema), pagination, and parameter semantics for 6 of 8 parameters. Given the tool's complexity and number of parameters, more completeness is needed for an agent to invoke it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description bears full burden for parameter clarity. It only partially covers parameters: mentions device_name filtering and the role of policy_uuid/exec_token as UUIDs. It does not explain sort, result_status filter, page, limit, or output_format. This is insufficient for 8 parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool gets detailed per-device results for a specific policy run. It uses a specific verb ('Get') and identifies the resource, distinguishing it from siblings like policy_runs_v2 (which lists runs) and policy_run_results (which may be aggregated).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by mentioning UUID-based queries and device name filtering, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like policy_runs_v2 or policy_execution_counts. No context on exclusions or prerequisites is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses critical behavioral details: device_outcomes are device counts per outcome, not run statuses, and result_status matches any device with that outcome (single-device semantics). This adds value beyond the readOnlyHint annotation. However, it does not mention pagination behavior or total result counts.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single cohesive paragraph that front-loads the main purpose and then clarifies key semantics. It is efficient but could benefit from bullet points or separate sections for clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the 10 parameters and no output schema, the description covers core filtering but lacks details on pagination, output format, and the response structure. It explains result_status well but leaves other parameters undocumented.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema coverage, the description must compensate. It explains semantics for result_status and implies time-range and policy filtering. But it omits descriptions for policy_uuid, sort, page, limit, and output_format, leaving significant gaps despite the detailed result_status logic.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists policy runs with time-range, policy name/type, and result status filtering. It distinguishes itself from the standard policy execution timeline by referencing the Policy History v2 API for richer data, providing a specific verb and resource.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies preference over the standard timeline for richer data but does not explicitly specify when to use this tool versus alternatives like policy_execution_timeline or policy_run_detail_v2. No when-not or explicit comparisons are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructive, idempotent, and open world behavior. Description adds that action sets are console metadata (not endpoint state) and reconstructable, which provides reassurance and context beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two focused sentences: first states purpose, second adds valuable context. No redundant words, well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the output schema exists and annotations cover idempotency, the description provides enough context (reconstructability, metadata nature) for a destructive tool. Missing explicit mention of idempotent behavior, but annotations cover that.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description only mentions 'by ID' for action_set_id. The other parameter (request_id) is not explained at all. Schema coverage is 0%, so description should compensate, but it does not fully explain parameter meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool deletes a single vulnerability remediation action set by ID, distinguishing it from bulk delete (sibling delete_action_sets_bulk). It also explains what action sets are, adding context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use for single deletion and mentions reconstructability, but does not explicitly state when to use this vs bulk delete or other alternatives. No prerequisites or exclusions are provided.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, an output schema exists (covers return details). The description covers input and key output fields. Could mention potential errors or auth, but overall adequate for a retrieval tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains window_uuid implicitly as the identifier, but does not explain the optional org_uuid parameter (its purpose, when to use, etc.). Minimal added meaning beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it retrieves details for a specific maintenance/exclusion window by UUID and specifies the return values (status with lowercase, recurrence with uppercase). It distinguishes from sibling tools like search_policy_windows (which searches) and create/update/delete.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false), the description clarifies that can_start_new_session is simply a capacity indicator (current_sessions < max_sessions) and is independent of attended-access consent. This adds valuable behavioral context beyond what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured paragraph. It front-loads the core purpose and return fields, then adds clarifying behavioral notes. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 3 parameters with 0% description coverage. The tool description does not explain any parameter meanings, defaults, or acceptable values. Given the schema description coverage is low (0%), the description fails to compensate, leaving the agent to infer from parameter names and types alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'List active Splashtop session capacity for a device' and names the returned fields (can_start_new_session, current_sessions, max_sessions). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like splashtop_get_attended_access and splashtop_device_status by focusing on capacity limits.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for checking session capacity but does not explicitly say when to use versus alternatives. It provides a caveat about attended access dependency, which guides the agent that additional checks may be needed, but lacks explicit when-not or alternative tool recommendations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate the tool is not read-only (readOnlyHint: false), not destructive, and idempotent. The description adds that it updates mutable attributes but does not disclose behavior beyond that, such as what happens if the device is not found or if invalid values are provided. It is consistent with annotations but adds limited 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two concise sentences. The first front-loads the action and lists the attributes. The second provides use-case context and a constraint. No unnecessary words or repetition. It is well-structured for quick parsing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 7 parameters (one required), 0% schema coverage, and an output schema, the description adequately covers purpose and usage but lacks details on prerequisites (e.g., device must exist), error cases, or expected behavior for invalid inputs. It does not explain the return value, but the output schema may cover that. Overall, it is sufficient but not exhaustive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It lists the modifiable parameters and provides high-level context (e.g., exception is a policy-enforcement exclusion) and examples. However, it does not explain each parameter in detail—for instance, the format of ip_addrs or valid values for server_group_id. The description adds some meaning but is not comprehensive.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb (update) and resource (single device), lists the mutable attributes (custom_name, server_group_id, exception, tags, ip_addrs), and distinguishes itself from the sibling batch_update_devices tool by highlighting the single-device gap. It includes concrete use-case examples like renaming a device or moving it to a server group.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly tells when to use this tool versus batch_update_devices, noting that batch only handles tags and is bulk. It also states that only fields to change should be supplied and that at least one is required. However, it does not explicitly mention situations where this tool should not be used (e.g., when updating many devices at once).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, idempotentHint=true. The description adds behavioral details: partial update semantics, case requirements for status and recurrence, and specific rrule validation grammars. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is concise yet detailed, front-loading the main purpose. Each sentence adds value, especially the specific rrule format constraints. Slightly lengthy but justified by complexity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 13 parameters, 2 required, no enums, and output schema existence, description covers critical update semantics and rrule constraints. Missing some context like need for valid window_uuid, but overall adequate for moderately complex tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It adds meaning for key parameters: dtstart (required), status (lowercase), recurrence (lowercase), rrule (specific grammars). However, it does not describe other parameters like window_uuid, org_uuid, etc., which are self-explanatory but still needed. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Update an existing maintenance window', specifying the verb 'update' and the resource 'maintenance window'. It also distinguishes from sibling tools like create_policy_window and delete_policy_window by indicating it updates an existing window and mentions partial updates.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description notes that only dtstart is required and other fields are optional for partial updates, implying usage context. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide when-not-to-use guidance or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds the 500 device limit and example action format, which are behavioral traits not captured in annotations. However, it does not discuss partial failure handling or rollback behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with an example, front-loading the key information. Every part is necessary; no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a bulk update tool with 3 parameters, destructive annotation, and an output schema (reducing need to describe return values), the description is fairly complete. It explains the purpose, limit, and action format. Minor gaps: no mention of prerequisites or error scenarios.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It provides an example of the actions parameter (tag apply/remove), adding meaning beyond the raw schema. However, it does not explain the devices parameter (list of IDs) or request_id. The compensation is partial.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool applies bulk attribute actions to many devices at once, with a limit of 500 devices. It gives an example action format, distinguishing it from single-device updates like update_device. The verb 'apply' and resource 'devices' are 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 Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as update_device or advanced_device_search. The limit of 500 and action format provide implicit context, but the description does not mention exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true. The description adds that 'start/end are derived occurrence times' (not stored directly) and that timezone follows the window's use_local_tz, which is valuable behavioral context beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise: two sentences plus an additional clarifying sentence about derived times. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present, the description needn't detail return values. It covers the core purpose, the date parameter, and a key behavioral nuance. However, it omits explanation of the 'org_uuid' parameter and doesn't elaborate on 'window types'. Overall, fairly complete but with a minor gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains the 'date' parameter as an ISO 8601 UTC future limit, but does not clarify 'group_uuid' or 'org_uuid'. This adds partial meaning but leaves gaps.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get upcoming scheduled maintenance periods for a server group.' It specifies the resource (server group) and the output (start/end times, window types). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_device_scheduled_windows and get_policy_window.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description mentions optional usage of the 'date' parameter as a future date limit in ISO 8601 UTC, but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it specify conditions for not using it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true. The description adds valuable behavioral details: results are newest-first and cursor-paginated, with optional date filters. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with clear front-loading of purpose and concise addition of ordering, pagination, and optional filters. Every word adds value; no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 7 parameters, no output schema, and the description covers only main purpose and two parameters, it is partially complete. It mentions returned fields (status, latency, error) but omits many parameters and does not describe return format. Acceptable but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description bears the burden of explaining parameter semantics. It only mentions webhook_id implicitly (via 'for a webhook') and startDate/endDate filters explicitly, but ignores org_uuid, limit, cursor, and output_format. This leaves 4 of 7 parameters undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists recent delivery attempts for a webhook, including specific fields (status, latency, error) and its use for troubleshooting. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_webhooks (which lists webhooks themselves) and test_webhook (which tests a webhook).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly ties the tool to 'delivery troubleshooting', indicating it should be used to investigate delivery issues. While it doesn't list alternatives or when not to use, the purpose is clear enough for an agent to select it appropriately.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description goes beyond annotations by explaining the meaning of 'highest_severity' values ('no_known_cves' vs 'unknown') and the compliance rule (non-compliant only when policy needs remediation). These are important behavioral traits not captured in annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no fluff. The first sentence establishes purpose and scope, the second adds critical output semantics. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description explains output semantics well but omits any guidance on input parameters. Given the existence of an output schema and four undocumented parameters, this is a noticeable gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not reference any of the four parameters (group_id, limit, offset, output_format). With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate but fails to provide guidance on how to use parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves the Automox pre-patch readiness report, specifying the scope (devices with pending patches before the next scheduled patch window). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like noncompliant_report or patch_approvals_summary.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use this tool (pre-patch window) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like compliance snapshots. The context is enough for a user familiar with the domain.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: 'triggers server-side recomputation; returns once queued' informs the agent that the call is asynchronous and returns immediately after queuing. Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true and non-destructive nature; description complements this without contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: two sentences front-load the main action and then add a critical behavioral note. No superfluous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the description covers purpose and behavior, it omits parameter details and does not mention return values (though output schema exists). For a simple tool with two parameters, the omission of parameter semantics makes it slightly incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage and the description provides no explanation of the two parameters ('search_id' and 'request_id'). This leaves the agent without guidance on what each parameter represents, which is a significant gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('force a re-cache'), the resource ('saved device search results'), and the condition ('when they may be stale'). It distinguishes from similar tools like 'run_saved_search' or 'get_cached_search_results' by specifying forced recomputation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage 'when they may be stale' but does not explicitly state when not to use or provide alternative tools. The context is clear but lacks full guidance on selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true, so description minimally adds context. It notes the tool is 'lighter-weight than get_saved_search_results' which hints at a lighter response, but no further behavioral details (e.g., pagination handling, caching) are disclosed. Adequate but not exceptional.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with core purpose. No filler, every sentence adds value. Excellent structure for quick parsing by an AI agent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and good annotations, the description explains core functionality, paging, field selection, and sibling relationship. It doesn't elaborate on return format or full behavior of fields, but for a read-only fetch tool with 5 parameters, it is mostly complete. Minor gap: output_format not mentioned.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains search_id as 'by UUID', mentions paging via page/size, and fields projection. However, it omits output_format parameter. Partially covers the 5 parameters but not all, leaving ambiguity about output_format.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Execute a saved device search by UUID and return its device results', specifying the resource (saved search) and action. It also distinguishes from sibling tool get_saved_search_results by noting it's lighter-weight when subset of fields needed.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. the alternative get_saved_search_results ('Lighter-weight when you only need a subset of fields'). It does not explicitly state when not to use it, but the comparison implies the alternative for full results.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, etc. The description adds valuable context about the independence of installation and registration status, and notes the API spec is not live-verified, which is beyond what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three sentences, front-loaded with the main action, and each sentence adds value. No redundancy or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the description covers the returned fields and their interpretation, it omits parameter details and does not mention the return format (given no output schema). Adequate for a simple tool but incomplete considering zero schema coverage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not explain any parameters (e.g., device_uuid required, output_format default 'json'). The agent must infer from context, which is insufficient.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does 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 'Splashtop installation and registration status for a device'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like splashtop_connect or splashtop_install by focusing solely on status retrieval.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description advises checking both statuses before assuming remote control is usable, implying a use case. However, it does not explicitly compare to alternatives like splashtop_session_status or provide 'when to use' vs 'when not to use'.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, no wasted words. The first sentence states the action, the second explains the key behavior. Efficient and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description explains the meaning of the boolean result but does not specify the full return structure (e.g., object format). Parameters are undocumented. While annotations cover safety, the overall completeness is adequate but has gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not explain the two parameters (device_uuid and output_format). The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation, leaving the agent unclear about required inputs.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get the current attended-access requirement for a device') and distinguishes it from sibling tools like splashtop_set_attended_access by using 'get' vs 'set'. It also explains the meaning of the boolean result.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implicitly indicates usage for reading vs writing by using 'Get', but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or provide exclusions. The context is clear but lacks explicit guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Despite annotations marking destructiveHint=true, the description adds valuable behavioral context: the API does not start the session, the operator must manually open the returned URL, and end-user consent still applies. This goes beyond annotations and clarifies the actual side effects, making it highly transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool generates a Splashtop deeplink for remote-control sessions, specifies the URL scheme (splashtop-sos://), and explicitly distinguishes that the API does not start the session itself. This provides a specific verb+resource and differentiates from sibling tools that perform other actions like installation or force disconnect.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives strong usage context by explaining the deeplink generation and that the operator must open the URL in the Splashtop RMM App. It also mentions end-user consent applies. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools or provide when-not-to-use guidance, missing some direct contrast with siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds value beyond annotations by explaining that setting false disables end-user consent and warns of irreversible effect. Annotations already indicate destructive and idempotent nature; description complements with specific behavioral detail.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, followed by a warning. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given output schema exists and tool is moderate complexity, description covers purpose, effect, and warning. Could mention idempotency or return values, but not essential.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema coverage, description partially compensates by explaining the meaning of device_uuids and required_attended_access. Does not cover optional request_id parameter or formatting. Adequate but not excellent.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it bulk-sets attended-access requirement across many devices. Distinguishes from singular sibling by specifying 'bulk-set'. Provides concrete example of setting false to disable consent.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies usage for multiple devices but no explicit when-to-use or when-not. The warning 'confirm before use' provides some guidance but does not name alternatives like splashtop_set_attended_access for single device.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds behavioral detail beyond annotations by explaining the three conditions that make a window active. Annotations already indicate read-only, non-destructive, and idempotent behavior, so the description's additional logic is helpful. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with only two sentences, no unnecessary words, and it front-loads the purpose clearly. Every sentence delivers value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, the description covers the core logic adequately. The presence of an output schema likely details the return format, so the description need not repeat that. However, it does not mention any prerequisites or side effects, but for a read-only check, this is sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, meaning the parameters 'window_uuid' and 'org_uuid' are not explained in the schema. The description does not compensate for this; it only explains the return logic. Therefore, the description adds no meaning to the parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Check whether a specific maintenance window is currently active.' It uses a specific verb ('Check') and resource ('maintenance window active'), and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'check_group_exclusion_status' by focusing on the window's active status.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides useful context on when the tool is appropriate by defining the conditions for an active window (status, group, exclusion period). However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternative tools, so it lacks full guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: indicates the window prevents policy execution, all fields required, and specifics about rrule grammar. No contradiction with annotations (destructiveHint=true, readOnlyHint=false).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 12 parameters (10 required) and an output schema, the description covers the most complex parts (rrule grammar, recurrence, status values). It doesn't explain return values, but output schema handles that. Some less complex parameters remain undocumented but are understandable from schema names.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaning for the complex rrule parameter (specifying exact grammars) and mentions status and recurrence accepted values. However, other parameters like window_type, window_name, duration_minutes, group_uuids, dtstart, etc., are not explained.

Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (bulk, atomic, destructive), the description covers core behavior and safety. Missing details like partial failure behavior are mitigated by output schema existence and atomicity claim.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%. Description only mentions 'action_set_ids' as 'by ID' and completely omits any explanation of 'request_id' parameter, leaving a significant gap for the agent to understand its purpose.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states verb 'Delete', resource 'vulnerability remediation action sets', and scope 'multiple by ID (up to 100) in one atomic call', distinguishing it from sibling 'delete_action_set' which is singular.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description implies usage for bulk deletion with 'up to 100' and 'atomic call', but does not explicitly state when to use this vs the singular alternative 'delete_action_set' or provide exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the tool is safe and repeatable. The description adds valuable behavioral context: the nuance about 'two_factor_authentication' carrying literal string 'disabled' when 2FA is off and the ambiguity of null/absent values. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long, front-loading the core action and then adding a critical behavioral note. Every sentence serves a purpose, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description explains the return fields (status, RBAC role, verification, 2FA type) and provides a caveat about two_factor_authentication. However, without an output schema, it does not fully describe all possible response fields or error conditions, leaving some ambiguity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 2 parameters with 0% coverage from description. The description indirectly explains user_id by mentioning UUID but does not describe the output_format parameter at all. For a tool with low schema coverage, the description should compensate, but it only partially addresses one parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get an account-scoped user record by UUID' and lists the specific fields returned (status, account RBAC role, verification, 2FA type). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_user' which likely operates at a different scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving a user record by UUID, but it does not explicitly explain when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_user' or 'list_users'. No exclusions or comparisons are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate safety (readOnly, non-destructive, idempotent). Description adds context by specifying the three data categories included, providing behavioral insight beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded with the key value proposition. No extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Output schema exists, so description doesn't need to detail return structure. Covers the main purpose and data types. Lacks detail on parameter usage, but overall sufficient for a snapshot tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage for parameters (group_id, detail_limit). Description does not explain what these parameters do, leaving the agent uninformed about their purpose or format.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly describes the tool as a combined view of compliance-related data (non-compliant devices, fleet health, policy statistics) and positions it as answering a specific question. Differentiates from sibling tools by being an aggregated snapshot.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states the tool answers 'What is our compliance posture?' indicating when to use. Does not explicitly list when not to use or alternatives, but the context is clear given sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: explains absence of patch-status field, details on severity values and null meaning, auto-pagination behavior, and page parameter effect. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Well-structured and front-loaded with purpose. Each sentence adds value, though the description is moderately lengthy. Could be slightly more concise without losing meaning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers return fields, pagination, and severity semantics adequately. However, missing parameter descriptions for device_id, limit, output_format, and lacks error conditions or prerequisites. Adequate but with clear gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It only partially describes 'page' (fetch single page) and does not explain device_id, limit, or output_format. Leaves major gaps for 3 out of 4 parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists software packages on a specific Automox device, with specific verb 'list' and resource. It details the return fields (name, version, installed, etc.), distinguishing it from sibling tools like device_detail or list_devices.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit guidance that auto-pagination makes it reliable for 'is package X installed?' checks, and that passing an explicit `page` fetches a single page. However, it does not compare to alternatives like search_org_packages or state when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate the tool is read-only and non-destructive. The description adds specific behavioral details about the data.status field for policy/patch events, which is beyond the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states the core purpose, the second provides a critical nuance. Very concise and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 10 parameters and no output schema. The description explains filters but not pagination or count_only behavior, leaving some gaps for a complete understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It covers 5 of 10 parameters (policy_id, server_id, user_id, event_name, date range) but omits page, limit, count_only, and output_format. This adds some but not full meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists Automox organization events with optional filters, using specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes from sibling tools which are for other resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains when to use the tool (to list events with filters) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or suggest alternatives. However, the context is clear enough for the agent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=true. The description reinforces 'Read-only — nothing is created or changed' and adds critical context about the server_groups requirement when device_filters are used. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no wasted words. First sentence provides high-level purpose, second explains a key constraint. Efficient and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers core usage and constraint but does not describe return values (expected output). For a preview tool, describing the response format (e.g., list of device IDs/details) would improve completeness. Output schema is absent, so description should fill gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains device_filters as clauses {field, op, value} and server_groups as required when device_filters provided. However, it does not describe page, limit, or output_format. These are common but without description, the agent lacks full parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Dry-run: preview which devices a policy's targeting would resolve to, before creating or updating the policy.' This specifies the verb (preview), resource (devices for policy targeting), and context (before create/update). It distinguishes from sibling tools like apply_policy_changes or create_policy.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says 'server_groups is REQUIRED when device_filters is provided' and explains why. It also implies usage before creating/updating a policy. While it doesn't mention alternatives for when not to use, the constraint is clear and helpful.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description provides key behavioral details beyond annotations: old secret is immediately invalidated and new secret is only shown once. This adds critical context for the agent about side effects and return value handling.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, no wasted words, front-loaded with the action. Efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers essential behavioral aspects for a simple mutation tool. Minor gap: no parameter explanations. But output schema exists (though not shown) and description hints at return. Adequate for the complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should explain parameters but does not. Parameters (webhook_id, org_uuid, request_id) are not mentioned, leaving the agent to infer their meaning from context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb+resource ('Rotate the signing secret for an Automox webhook') and clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like create_webhook, update_webhook, and delete_webhook. It states the exact action and what changes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit when-to-use vs alternatives is given, but the purpose is clear enough that an agent can infer when to call this tool. It does not mention when not to use it or compare to other webhook-related tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds context beyond annotations by detailing the returned signals (verified, access tier, license_required) and noting that catalog items have no status field. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long, front-loading the core action and return fields, followed by a usage phrase. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a search tool with readOnly and idempotent annotations and no output schema, the description lists key return fields and a behavioral note (no status field). It lacks pagination details but is otherwise complete for discovering worklets.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% with two parameters (query, output_format). The description does not explain their meaning or usage, relying solely on the schema. It fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation, leaving the agent without guidance on parameter values.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool searches the Automox community worklet catalog and lists specific return fields (names, descriptions, categories, OS compatibility, trust/availability signals). The verb 'search' and resource 'community worklet catalog' are specific and distinguish it from sibling tools like search_org_packages.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states when to use: 'Use to discover pre-built evaluation and remediation scripts.' It provides clear context but does not mention when not to use or offer alternatives, though the purpose is well-defined.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, aligning with the description's caution about allowing unattended sessions. The description adds context about policy review and what the change entails, beyond what annotations provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no fluff. First sentence states purpose, second provides caution. Efficient and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with an output schema and annotations. The description covers the core effect and policy concern. It could mention the bulk sibling or the get sibling for completeness, but given the output schema, the agent can infer return values.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description only indirectly explains the required_attended_access parameter by mentioning end-user consent requirement. It does not explain device_uuid or request_id, so the description fails to compensate for missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the verb (enable/disable) and the resource (end-user consent requirement for Splashtop sessions on a device). It distinguishes from sibling tools like splashtop_get_attended_access (get vs. set) and splashtop_set_bulk_attended_access (single device vs. bulk).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description warns about reviewing organization policy before setting to false, implying when to use with caution. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., for checking current state use splashtop_get_attended_access).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds value beyond annotations by specifying which fields are updatable and the limitation on passwords. Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true (modification) and idempotentHint=true, but the description provides concrete behavioral constraints. It does not address openWorldHint side effects, but the disclosed constraints are useful for an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no redundancy. The first sentence communicates the core purpose and scope, the second adds a critical limitation. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers core functionality and a key limitation, but does not explain update semantics (e.g., whether omitting a field leaves it unchanged or sets it to null), possible errors, or side effects. Given the presence of an output schema and 6 parameters, additional context on behavior would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It lists four optional fields (firstname, lastname, email, tfa_type) but does not explain their semantics or validation. It omits explanation for user_id and request_id. The fields are self-explanatory, but the description adds minimal semantic value beyond names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Update), the resource (user's profile fields), and specifies which fields (firstname, lastname, email, tfa_type). It also explicitly excludes password setting, which distinguishes it from potential related tools. The title 'Update User' aligns, and among many sibling update tools, this one is specific to user profile updates.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description identifies the required identifier (user_id) and notes that passwords cannot be set, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. It provides clear context for updating profile fields, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use scenarios or mention of alternative tools for password changes.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true), the description adds critical context: 'Returns metadata only — the secret is never exposed.' This informs the agent about the tool's safety and output limitations, which annotations alone do not convey.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with an additional clarifying statement. It is concise, front-loaded, and contains no extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple get tool with no output schema, the description adequately states what the tool does and its key behavioral trait (metadata-only). However, it could specify what metadata includes or mention error handling (e.g., 'if found'), but the provided context is generally sufficient given the straightforward nature of the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate. It explicitly mentions 'by user ID and key ID', mapping to the two required parameters. However, it omits the optional 'output_format' parameter, leaving its purpose unexplained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get one user API key'), the resource ('user API key'), and the identification method ('by user ID and key ID'). It also distinguishes from siblings like 'list_user_api_keys' by specifying 'one' and from creation/deletion tools by its verb. The additional note about returning metadata only adds specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving a specific API key metadata but does not explicitly state when to use this over alternatives like 'list_user_api_keys' or 'get_user'. No guidance on prerequisites or when not to use it is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. Description adds 'Read-only' confirming no mutations and 'blast-radius assessment' explaining query intent. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise single sentence with dash separation. Every word earns its place. Front-loaded with action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, low parameter coverage, but simple tool. Description covers purpose, usage context, and read-only nature. Could mention output format options, but still complete enough for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, description adds meaning for 'policies' parameter (by UUID) but does not explain 'output_format' parameter. Partial compensation, but still leaves gaps.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states verb (List), resource (devices targeted by policies), and scope (by UUID). Distinguishes from sibling action tools like apply_policy_changes and execute_policy_now by specifying 'blast-radius assessment' purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states usage context: 'before executing or changing a policy.' Implies blast-radius assessment use case, but does not explicitly list when not to use or name alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds valuable behavioral context by explaining that 'compliance_rate_percent' is computed only over evaluated devices and is null when none evaluated, and that pending devices are reported separately. This goes beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then explains the key statistical detail. No unnecessary words; every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no parameters but a likely rich output schema, the description covers the essential behavioral aspects: null handling for compliance_rate_percent and separate reporting of pending devices. It does not discuss ordering or pagination, but for a stats tool this is adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters exist (0 params), so baseline is 4 per instructions. The description does not need to add parameter details since the schema is empty.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Retrieve per-policy compliance statistics for the organization,' specifying the verb (retrieve), resource (per-policy compliance statistics), and scope (organization). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'get_compliance_snapshot' by focusing on per-policy stats.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'get_compliance_snapshot' or 'noncompliant_report.' While it implies usage for per-policy stats, it lacks explicit guidance on context or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: it mentions 'in a single round-trip' (efficiency) and 'one row per policy' (aggregation). This is sufficient and consistent with annotations, though more detail on potential time range limits could improve transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at three sentences: first sentence states the core function, second gives a concrete example question, and third distinguishes from siblings. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, and the key action is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 3 parameters, 0% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is adequate but incomplete. It explains the return format (one row per policy with run count) and efficiency, but lacks details on parameter formats, null handling, and output structure, making it minimally viable for a simple list tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must compensate but only vaguely references 'over a time window' for start_time/end_time and does not explain output_format or default behaviors. The schema has no descriptions, so the tool definition fails to provide parameter-level guidance beyond the implied time range.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists fleet-wide policy execution counts over a time window with one row per policy and run count. It explicitly distinguishes from siblings policy_run_count (single aggregate) and policy_runs_for_policy (per-run records for one policy), making the tool's specific resource and action clear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives explicit guidance on when to use: to answer questions like 'which policies ran most last quarter?' without per-policy calls or client-side aggregation. It also names two alternatives and clarifies that this tool is for fleet-wide aggregated counts, leaving no ambiguity about context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (readOnlyHint=true), the description frankly reveals that the severity filter does not guarantee returned devices currently have outstanding patches at that severity, with a live statistic. It also clarifies that pending_patches is total count not scoped to severity. This transparency adds significant value and does not contradict annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is four sentences, each contributing essential information. The first sentence states purpose, the latter three provide critical behavioral context. No redundant text, though it is somewhat lengthy; the details justify the length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 9 parameters and no output schema, the description explains key filters but omits details on managed, group_id, limit, and output_format. It also does not describe the output structure or pagination. The behavioral warnings partially compensate, leaving some completeness gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It explains hostname, IP, tag, severity (with behavioral detail), and patch_status (only 'missing'). However, parameters like managed, group_id, limit, and output_format are not described, leaving gaps. The provided explanations add meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Search Automox devices' and lists specific filter criteria (hostname, IP, tag, severity, patch status). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like list_devices and advanced_device_search by detailing the supported search parameters.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit guidance on using the tool for searching devices with various filters and includes important caveats about severity filter behavior and pending_patches interpretation. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, though the sibling list suggests different use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (destructiveHint=true), the description adds critical behavioral details: 'The response includes a signing secret that is ONLY shown once — save it immediately' and the limit of 5 webhooks per org. These go beyond what annotations provide, fully informing the agent of key side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three concise sentences: first states purpose, second warns about the one-time secret, third lists constraints. No redundant information; every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of annotations and output schema, the description covers the main gotchas (one-time secret, limits, URL requirement). It omits parameter explanations but the schema and sibling tool list_webhook_event_types help. It does not mention authorization requirements or whether the webhook is immediately active.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not explain any parameter individually despite 0% schema description coverage. Only the URL constraint ('URL must be HTTPS') adds some meaning to the 'url' parameter, but other parameters like event_types, org_uuid, request_id remain unexplained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create a new Automox webhook subscription', using a specific verb (Create) and resource (webhook subscription). It distinguishes from siblings like list_webhooks, update_webhook, delete_webhook by focusing on creation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides contextual guidance such as 'Max 5 webhooks per organization' and 'URL must be HTTPS', which inform when and how to use the tool. However, it does not explicitly mention when to avoid using it or suggest alternative tools like list_webhooks to check limits.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already mark tool as read-only and idempotent. Description adds behavioral details about output structure (grouped by scope, with type metadata), going beyond what annotations provide. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences that front-load the purpose and immediately add differentiating guidance. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a read-only informational tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description sufficiently explains the return structure (grouped, typed). Sibling list provides context. Minor gap: no mention of output_format parameter.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% for the only parameter (output_format). The description does not mention this parameter or its default value or purpose, leaving the agent without guidance on how to use it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states verb 'list', resource 'searchable device fields', and adds structure 'grouped by scope, with per-field type metadata'. Directly differentiates from sibling 'get_device_metadata_fields' by noting it is richer and intended for constructing typed advanced-search queries.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly contrasts with sibling tool ('Richer than get_device_metadata_fields') and tells agent to use this for 'constructing typed advanced-search queries', providing clear when-to-use guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the agent knows this is a safe read operation. The description adds minimal behavioral context (returns all available types with descriptions), but no extra disclosures are needed beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with two sentences, no wasted words. The first sentence front-loads the action and resource, the second adds the use case.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter, read-only listing tool with rich annotations, the description provides all necessary context: what it lists and why. The presence of an output schema further reduces the burden on the description.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters with 100% coverage. No parameter documentation is needed. The description does not add parameter details, which is appropriate given the absence of parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does 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 'webhook event types', and explicitly mentions the purpose: 'see which events can trigger webhook deliveries'. This distinguishes it from siblings like list_webhooks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear usage context: 'Use this to see which events can trigger webhook deliveries.' It does not specify alternatives, but given the simplicity and zero parameters, the guideline is sufficient.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable context: that the upstream record has no severity field so severity_breakdown buckets as 'unspecified', and advises using CVE IDs to judge urgency. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose. It efficiently packs essential details about the approval structure and severity handling without waste.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the output schema exists, description does not need to detail return format. It covers the main behavioral aspects but lacks parameter documentation. Overall, it is fairly complete for a read tool with good annotations, but missing param info leaves a gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage for 3 parameters (status, limit, output_format), the description must explain them. It does not: status usage is implied but not explicit (e.g., possible values), limit and output_format are unmentioned. The description compensates somewhat by explaining output fields, but parameter semantics are poorly covered.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Summarize patch approvals awaiting decision.' It also explains the fields (title, version, CVE ids, manual_approval) and distinguishes from sibling 'decide_patch_approval' by focusing on summarization versus decision-making.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for reading summaries of pending approvals, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus 'decide_patch_approval' or other sibling tools. However, the context is clear, and the description provides enough detail for appropriate selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description extensively discloses behavioral traits beyond the annotations: client-side filtering, pagination, time conversion, permissions (specific scopes required), and edge-case handling (unmappable category results in unfiltered response). No contradiction with annotations (readOnlyHint, etc.).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is lengthy but dense with information. It front-loads the main purpose and then systematically details parameters and behavioral nuances. While every sentence adds value, some sections (e.g., exact details on unmappable categories) could be condensed for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 6 parameters, no output schema, and complex behavior, the description covers nearly all aspects: filtering, pagination, permissions, and response metadata. It lacks a full enumeration of response fields, but it explains key structures like `applied_filters` and `events_before_filter`. Overall highly complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully compensates by explaining each parameter's purpose, constraints (e.g., date required, category_name prefix matching), defaults, and behavior (cursor pagination, output_format). It adds significant meaning beyond the raw schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: querying OCSF-formatted audit events with filtering by date and event type. It specifies the source (Automox Audit Service v2). However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like 'audit_trail_user_activity' or 'list_events', though the context of OCSF format is unique.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides detailed guidance on parameter usage, especially the client-side nature of category_name filtering and the behavior when tokens are unmappable. It also notes that human-readable strings are preferred over raw integer UIDs. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., for non-OCSF audit events).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate destructive and non-idempotent, which the description aligns with by noting cloning creates a copy. Adds context about cross-zone mode being a single server-side call and restricted to patch policies.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with clear front-loading of purpose. No redundant information; every part earns its place.

Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (two modes, mutex, patch-only restriction) and presence of an output schema, the description covers essential behavioral aspects. Missing details like error conditions or return format are acceptable due to output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description explains purpose of policy_id (implied required), name, server_groups, and target_zone_ids. However, it omits the request_id parameter entirely, leaving it unexplained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description uses specific verb 'Clone' and resource 'policy', with two clearly distinguished modes (in-org copy vs cross-zone for patch policies). This differentiates it from sibling policy tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use each mode and that they are mutually exclusive. Does not discuss when not to use the tool or alternative approaches, but the sibling list contains no other clone operation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
