Server Quality Checklist

67%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v2.3.1

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with detailed descriptions explaining when to use it. Overlapping operations like branch management are partitioned into separate actions (create, switch, close, merge, list, get), preventing confusion.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names use lowercase with underscores for multi-word names, following either a verb_noun pattern (get_branch, session_list) or an imperative verb (think, revise, complete). No mixing of conventions or unusual patterns.

    Tool Count3/5

    With 20 tools, the server falls into the borderline heavy range (16-25). While each tool is justified by the complexity of managing thoughts, branches, sessions, and metadata, the count is slightly high for a focused reasoning tool.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool set covers core CRUD-like operations for thoughts (add, read, revise) and branches (create, read, close, merge), plus session management. Minor gaps exist: no delete operation for thoughts or sessions, but this aligns with an append-only preservation design.

  • Average 4.5/5 across 20 of 20 tools scored.

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

How is the quality score calculated?

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

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

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

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

Tool Scores

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Discloses read-only behavior, chronological order, and contents (numbers, content, tags, branch assignments, revision links). Also mentions optional filtering with branchId and limit. Without annotations, this provides good transparency.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two concise sentences with front-loaded key information: purpose, read-only, return contents, and usage recommendation. No wasted words.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given no output schema, description explains return details well. Covers optional parameters and use cases. Minor omission of behavior when history is empty, but overall complete for the tool's simplicity.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema descriptions cover 100% of parameters. Description adds context 'optionally filter to a specific branch' and 'cap results', which reinforces schema but doesn't add new meaning beyond it.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Description specifies verb 'Retrieve', resource 'thought history', and scope 'for the current active session'. It distinguishes from siblings like get_thought (single thought) and list_branches, making the tool's unique purpose clear.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    Explicitly states use cases: 'review the full reasoning chain or to find context before adding the next thought'. While it doesn't list alternatives, the context is clear and sufficient for an agent to choose appropriately.

    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?

    Declares read-only behavior, lists return fields and ordering. Without annotations, this provides essential safety information. Could mention lack of side effects more explicitly.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, efficient and no redundancy. Each sentence adds value.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    With no output schema, the description includes return fields, sorting, and usage context. Covers all necessary information for an agent to use the tool effectively.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description only mentions filtering by status, which is already in schema, and does not add new semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states 'List previously saved thinking sessions in the SQLite database' and specifies it is read-only, distinguishing it from sibling tools like session_load and session_summary.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    Explicitly advises using it to find a session UUID before calling session_load or session_summary, and suggests filtering by status. Does not mention when not to use it, but context is clear.

    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?

    With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the status change to 'complete' and persistence via session_load/list. However, it doesn't explicitly state irreversibility or side effects on branches.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Every sentence adds value: action, status, usage condition, persistence info, and explicit don't-call advice. No fluff, well organized.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    The description is fairly complete for a simple tool, covering purpose, usage, behavior, and persistence. Minor gap: no mention of return value or confirmation, but no output schema exists.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with clear description. The description adds no new meaning beyond the schema's 'Your final conclusion or answer', meeting the baseline for high coverage.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the action: 'Mark the thinking chain as complete with a final conclusion' and sets session status to 'complete'. It differentiates from siblings like 'think' (add thoughts) and 'session_save' (save without completion).

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

    Usage Guidelines5/5

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

    Explicitly states when to use: 'when reasoning has reached a definitive answer', and when not: 'Do not call if you plan to continue thinking'. Also mentions the alternative of adding more thoughts, and notes session accessibility after.

    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?

    No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It states 'Read-only' and describes both output formats and branch filtering. Could mention any limitations, but adequate for a simple export tool.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Concise with about 5 sentences, front-loaded with main purpose, no wasted words.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Lacks output schema but describes return formats adequately. For a simple export tool, it covers necessary aspects.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions. The description adds context about default format and human-readable vs machine-parseable, slightly extending beyond schema.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool exports the current session's thinking chain as formatted text, specifying markdown and JSON formats. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_branch or get_thought.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description provides usage context: 'Use when sharing reasoning with humans or other systems.' It also mentions optional single-branch export. No explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but context is clear.

    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?

    No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It declares the tool is 'read-only' and lists output contents (tags, revision history). For a simple retrieval operation, this is sufficient behavioral context.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two concise sentences with no redundant information. The key action and purpose are front-loaded, making it efficient for an AI agent to parse.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    For a tool with a single parameter, no output schema, and no enums, the description covers purpose, usage context, and behavior adequately. Mentioning the return format explicitly would be nice but is not critical.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100% with a clear parameter description. The description adds value by specifying the response includes tags and revision history, reinforcing the parameter's role beyond the schema.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description specifies the verb 'Retrieve', the resource 'thought by its number', and the included data 'tags and revision history'. It clearly distinguishes from siblings like 'get_history' (full history) and 'think' (adds thoughts).

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description explicitly states the use case: 'to reference or review earlier reasoning without scrolling through the full history'. This gives clear context for when to use this tool, though it does not explicitly mention alternatives 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.

  • Behavior4/5

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

    With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the branch is marked as merged and new thoughts are added. It lists three strategies. However, it does not specify whether the branch is closed automatically, nor how conflicts are handled, leaving minor gaps.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is two sentences plus a concise list of strategies. The main action is front-loaded. No unnecessary words or repetition.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given only two parameters and no output schema, the description is largely complete. It covers the core behavior, when to use, and strategy options. It could mention the return value (a new thought on main) but is not required.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, baseline 3. The description adds value by explaining each strategy in context ('conclusion_only — adds only the branch conclusion'), which is beyond the schema's simple enum descriptions.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the verb 'merge' and the resource 'branch', and specifies the outcome: 'back into the main thread as a new thought on main.' It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'close_branch' by being the dedicated merge operation.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description explicitly states when to use: 'Use after a branch has produced useful findings you want on the main thread.' It implies when not to use (e.g., no useful findings), but does not name alternatives like 'close_branch' or 'get_branch'.

    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?

    No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses read-only nature, case-insensitive substring matching, and tag requirement (all tags must be present). It does not describe behavior when no parameters are provided (likely returns all thoughts) but overall is transparent.

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

    Conciseness5/5

    Is 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.

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given no output schema, the description explains return values (numbers, content, tags). It covers the main use cases but lacks details about pagination or handling of empty results. Still, it is adequate for a search tool.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    All three parameters have descriptions in the schema. The description adds value by explaining the search semantics (case-insensitive, requires all tags, branch limiting) beyond the schema's basic field descriptions.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool searches thoughts by text content, tags, or both, with specific matching behavior. It distinguishes from siblings like get_thought (by ID) and think (adds thoughts) by focusing on full-text/tag search.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    It provides context about searching within the current session and available search modes. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool (e.g., if thought ID is known) or list 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?

    No annotations provided, so the description bears the full burden. It discloses persistence ('Persists to SQLite') and independence ('Each branch maintains its own thought sequence'). It does not mention any side effects or permissions, but the behavior is clear enough for safe use.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Four concise sentences, each adding essential information. Front-loaded with the primary action. No redundant or filler words.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    No output schema, but the description fully explains what happens (creates, switches, persists, maintains sequence). References sibling tools for further actions. Complete for a creation tool with two parameters.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description mentions 'branchId' as a short identifier and 'reason' as why branching, which aligns with schema descriptions. No additional value beyond confirming purpose.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description uses a specific verb ('Create a new reasoning branch and switch to it') and clearly identifies the resource and action. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by mentioning 'explore an alternative approach without affecting the main thread' and referencing close_branch and merge_branch.

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

    Usage Guidelines5/5

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

    Provides explicit when-to-use context ('explore an alternative approach without affecting the main thread') and how subsequent calls work ('Subsequent think calls go to this branch until you switch_branch'). Also directs when to use alternatives ('Use close_branch when a path is exhausted, or merge_branch to bring insights back').

    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?

    Discloses key behaviors: branch and thoughts preserved, cannot be reopened. With no annotations, description adequately covers behavioral traits. Minor gap: no mention of permissions or side effects.

    Purpose5/5

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

    Clearly states action 'Close a branch' and resource. Explicitly distinguishes from sibling merge_branch by advising to use it instead for bringing findings back to main.

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

    Usage Guidelines5/5

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

    Provides explicit when-to-use ('line of reasoning exhausted or answer clear') and when-not (cannot be reopened, suggests merge_branch as alternative).

    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?

    No annotations provided, but description clearly labels it as 'Read-only' and details the return fields. Lacks mention of error states or rate limits, but for a simple read operation, this is sufficient.

    Given no output schema, the description compensates by listing return fields. It covers usage, behavior, parameters, and output, making it sufficiently complete for a tool of moderate complexity with only two parameters.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema (mentioning 'adjustable via maxLength' but default is already in schema). It does not deeply elaborate on parameter behavior or constraints beyond what the schema provides.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('generate') and resource ('compressed text summary of a saved session'). It also notes read-only behavior and distinguishes from the sibling tool session_load.

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

    Usage Guidelines5/5

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

    The description explicitly states when to use this tool ('when you want context from a previous session without loading the full thought history') and when not to use it ('for full restoration use session_load instead'), providing clear guidance and an alternative.

    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?

    No annotations provided, but description fully discloses behavior: no data modification, read-only tools can access any branch. Explains effect on subsequent non-read tools. This compensates for lack of annotations.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Three concise sentences, each serving a purpose: purpose, omission behavior, additional context. No waste.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    Given no output schema and simple tool, description covers purpose, parameter behavior, side effects, and interaction with sibling tools. Complete.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with clear parameter description. Description reinforces omission behavior ('omit branchId to return to main') but adds no new semantics beyond schema.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Switch which branch receives new thoughts.' Distinguishes from sibling tools like branch, close_branch, merge_branch by specifying the exact action 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 Guidelines4/5

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

    Provides context on when to use: after switching, think and revise calls apply to active branch; read-only tools unaffected. Implicitly guides usage but doesn't explicitly exclude cases or name alternatives.

    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?

    With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden. It discloses that changes persist to SQLite, which is a key behavioral trait. It does not detail any side effects beyond persistence, but the mutation is straightforward.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is three sentences with no wasteful words. The main purpose is front-loaded, making it easy to scan.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    Despite no output schema, the description covers purpose, inputs, constraints, persistence, and examples. It is complete enough for an AI agent to understand and use the tool correctly.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds value by listing common tag examples and stating the constraint that at least one of 'add' or 'remove' is needed.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool adds or removes semantic tags on a thought, using a specific verb ('add or remove') and resource ('tags on a thought'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'search' by noting tags are searchable via that tool.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description provides a clear usage constraint: at least one of 'add' or 'remove' should be provided. It also implies when to use search for finding tags. However, it does not explicitly contrast with other sibling tools like 'think' or 'revise'.

    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?

    Discloses persistence to SQLite, auto-creation of session on first call, and appending to active branch. Without annotations, this provides sufficient behavioral context, though could mention limits.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Four concise sentences with no wasted words. Front-loaded with core purpose, then persistence, then usage, then exclusion. Highly efficient.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    Given simple single-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, behavior, persistence, session management, and usage boundaries. Complete for effective usage.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description already covers the parameter with 100% coverage. Description adds context about 'current thinking step' but doesn't add significantly new semantics beyond what schema provides.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Clearly states 'Add a numbered thought to your reasoning chain' with specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from sibling tools like branch and complete by focusing on adding thinking steps.

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

    Usage Guidelines5/5

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

    Explicitly says 'Use for any multi-step reasoning' and 'Do not use for simple, single-step answers', providing clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use 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?

    No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It fully discloses that the in-memory state is replaced, but the current session remains in SQLite. States that all thoughts, branches, and tags are loaded. No contradictions.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Three sentences, front-loaded with core purpose, followed by details and usage guidance. No wasted words.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given no output schema, the description explains state changes but does not mention return value or error handling. For a simple tool with one parameter, it is fairly complete.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with a description for 'id'. The description adds context that the ID comes from session_list, improving usability beyond the schema alone.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool restores a saved thinking session, replaces current state, and loads all thoughts, branches, and tags. It distinguishes from siblings like session_save and session_list by specifying the action and context.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    Explicitly advises to use after session_list to obtain the UUID. Notes that current session data is not lost. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but the context is clear.

    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?

    No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool replaces a thought, preserves the original in revision history, and persists to SQLite. These are clear behavioral traits for a mutation operation.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, and every sentence provides essential information. No waste.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    Given the tool has 2 simple parameters, no output schema, no annotations, and a single clear purpose, the description covers all necessary context: what it does, when to use, and its persistence behavior. It is complete.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100% and both parameters have descriptions. The description adds minimal new meaning beyond the schema, only specifying that 'thought' is revised thinking and 'revisesThought' is the thought number. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states it replaces a previous thought with updated reasoning, preserving the original in history. It distinguishes from 'think' (add new thoughts) and from other tools like 'branch' or 'complete'.

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

    Usage Guidelines5/5

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

    Explicitly says when to use ('when earlier thinking was wrong, incomplete, or superseded') and when not to use ('do not use to add new thoughts — use think instead'). Also notes persistence behavior.

    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?

    Without annotations, the description fully discloses that the session is already persisted automatically and that this tool only adds metadata, avoiding any misleading implication of creating new data.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Concise with no unnecessary words. Front-loaded with the main purpose, followed by clarification of behavior and usage, making it efficient and well-structured.

    Completeness5/5

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

    Given the tool's simplicity, lack of output schema, and straightforward parameters, the description covers behavior, usage, and parameter meaning completely, without needing additional details.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with good descriptions. The description adds 'human-readable' and 'optional longer description' but doesn't significantly extend beyond schema, earning the baseline 3.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool's purpose: to add a human-readable name and optional description to an already-persisted session, distinguishing it from sibling tools like session_list and session_load.

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

    Usage Guidelines5/5

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

    Explicitly says 'Use when you want to find this session later via session_list' and explains the alternative without the tool (auto-generated timestamp), 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.

  • Behavior5/5

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

    Explicitly declares 'Read-only,' which is critical for a tool that visualizes data. It describes output as a single text block, explains the two formats and their rendering contexts, and discloses default values for both parameters. No annotations are present, so the description fully carries the behavioral disclosure burden.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is well-structured, starting with the core purpose, then breaking down format choices and parameter effects. Every sentence adds value, though it is slightly verbose for the simple parameter set. Still, it remains clear and efficient.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    Given no output schema, the description fully explains what the tool returns (single text block) and for what purposes. It covers both parameters, their defaults, and the output's nature. No gaps remain for an agent to successfully invoke this tool.

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

    Parameters5/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% (both parameters described in schema). The description adds substantial value beyond the schema: it explains the utility of each format (mermaid for markdown, ascii for terminal), sets defaults explicitly, and describes the effect of showContent. This helps the agent choose parameter values intelligently.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states it generates a visual diagram of the thinking chain, covering thoughts, branches, branch points, and revisions. This distinctly separates it from sibling tools like 'branch' or 'think' which perform different actions on the chain.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    It provides context for use: 'Use to share the reasoning structure or to orient in a long chain.' This gives the agent a clear scenario for when to invoke. While it doesn't explicitly list when not to use, the purpose is straightforward enough that alternatives are not critical.

    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?

    With no annotations, description fully discloses: destructive only to in-memory state, data retained in SQLite, returns confirmation, and requires confirm flag. No surprises.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Three concise sentences: purpose, safety note, usage guidance. No redundancy, each sentence contributes unique information.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    Covers all essential aspects for a simple reset tool: what it does, what it doesn't do, when to use, parameter requirement, and return type (confirmation). No output schema needed.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, description adds context on why confirm is needed (prevents accidental clearing), going beyond type info. Slight added value.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Clearly states it clears in-memory state and starts fresh session. Distinguishes from sibling tools (session_load) by noting previous data remains in SQLite.

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

    Usage Guidelines5/5

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

    Explicitly says when to use (switching to unrelated problem) and implies when not to. Also mentions confirm=true requirement to prevent accidental clearing.

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