Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.7.2
- Disambiguation4/5
Most tools target distinct resources (dashboards, charts, datasets, annotations, etc.), but there is overlap among validation and verification tools (validate_chart vs validate_chart_render vs verify_chart_workflow) that could confuse an agent. The core CRUD tools are well-separated.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., list_dashboards, create_chart, delete_annotation). Even compound tools like validate_chart_render maintain this pattern without mixing styles.
Tool Count2/5With 59 tools, the server is over-scoped. While Preset is complex, many tools could be consolidated (e.g., multiple validate/verify tools, separate repair tools). Typically a well-scoped MCP server has 3-15 tools; this far exceeds that range.
Completeness3/5The tool set covers most lifecycle operations for dashboards, charts, datasets, annotations, etc., but lacks delete operations for charts and datasets, which are important gaps. Import/export and repair tools are present, so overall it's decent but incomplete.
Average 3.8/5 across 59 of 59 tools scored. Lowest: 2.3/5.

How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
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
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description fails to disclose important behavioral traits such as error handling, authentication requirements, or what happens on overwrite. It only states the high-level action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely short but at the cost of omitting essential details. It does not earn its place as a single sentence for a tool with many parameters and nuanced behavior.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema to cover return values, the description is too sparse for a complex tool with 7 parameters and no schema descriptions. It lacks completeness in explaining the tool's operation.
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 tool description does not explain any of the 7 parameters. It adds no value beyond the parameter names and types in the 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 verb 'Capture' and the resource 'templates from one or more dashboards' with destination 'into a local folder'. However, it does not differentiate from the closely named sibling 'capture_dashboard_template', missing an opportunity to clarify plural vs singular usage.
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 like 'capture_dashboard_template'. There are no context hints or exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits but only states the action. It does not mention whether the original dashboard is modified, any destructive or read-only implications, authentication requirements, or rate limits. The effect on the existing dashboard and the template creation process remains unclear.
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 with no wasted words, but it is too brief given the tool's complexity (six parameters, output schema). It could elaborate on key points without becoming verbose, so it is minimally adequate but not optimally 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?
Despite having an output schema (reducing the need to explain return values), the description omits parameter semantics, behavioral details, and usage guidelines. With six parameters and a sibling tool for similar functionality, the description is incomplete and fails to provide sufficient context for 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?
The description does not explain any of the six parameters (dashboard_id, portable, include_query_context, include_dataset_schema, output_path, response_mode). Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description must compensate but adds no parameter guidance, leaving the agent to infer from names and defaults alone.
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 captures a reusable dashboard+chart template from an existing dashboard, using the specific verb 'capture' and resource 'dashboard+chart template'. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'capture_golden_templates', which likely serves 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?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'capture_golden_templates', 'export_dashboard', or other creation tools. It lacks any context for appropriate usage scenarios or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It only states that it imports and reports IDs, but does not disclose whether the import is destructive, how conflicts are handled, or any side effects like overwriting existing dashboards.
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. However, it sacrifices essential detail for brevity; more information is needed to be truly 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?
Given the presence of 4 parameters and an output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the purpose of boolean parameters or the format of the output, leaving the agent without key context for correct usage.
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 (import_path, overwrite, repair_duplicate_layout, verify_after_import) with 0% schema description coverage. The description provides no information about any parameter's meaning, format, or constraints.
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 ('Import') and the resource ('dashboard ZIP bundle'), and mentions the output ('report the affected dashboard IDs'). It is specific enough to understand the tool's primary function, though it does not differentiate from sibling tools like create_dashboard.
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., create_dashboard vs import). No prerequisites, context, or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states snapshots are 'locally saved' and 'captured before mutations,' hinting at a safe, read-only operation, but it does not clarify authorization needs, side effects, or data freshness. The minimal information leaves significant behavioral ambiguity.
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 sacrifices essential detail for brevity. While there is no fluff, the structure fails to front-load key information such as parameter usage or result behavior. The conciseness is acceptable but comes at the cost of 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 tool has 2 parameters, no annotations, and an output schema, the description should provide more context. It lacks explanations of parameter roles, usage scenarios, and behavioral traits. The presence of an output schema mitigates return-value documentation, but the description remains incomplete for effective use.
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%, requiring the description to explain parameter meanings. However, the description does not mention dashboard_id or limit. Without any parameter semantics, the agent cannot infer how to filter or paginate results, making the tool nearly unusable.
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 lists 'locally saved dashboard snapshots captured before mutations.' It identifies the resource (dashboard snapshots) and the action (list). While it distinguishes from sibling tools like list_dashboards, the phrase 'captured before mutations' may be ambiguous without additional context.
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. Sibling tools like restore_dashboard_snapshot exist for restoring snapshots, but the description does not clarify when listing is appropriate. This omission limits the agent's ability to choose correctly.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description must carry behavioral disclosure. It does not state whether the tool is read-only or has side effects, how it interacts with the dashboard, or what constitutes a validation failure. The term 'validate frontend render status' is vague.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely short (10 words) and under-informative. While concise, it lacks substance and does not earn its place by adding value beyond the tool name.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema and multiple parameters, the description is grossly incomplete. It does not explain what the tool returns, the effect of timeout/settle/response_mode, or how to interpret 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?
Schema coverage is 0% with no parameter descriptions. The description fails to mention any of the four parameters (dashboard_id, timeout_ms, settle_ms, response_mode), leaving the agent without guidance on 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?
Description clearly states the tool validates frontend render status for all charts on a dashboard. It uses a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes from sibling tools like validate_chart_render (single chart) and validate_dashboard (structural validation).
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. With many sibling tools, such as validate_chart_render or validate_dashboard, the description should specify scenarios (e.g., after dashboard creation/update) or differentiate criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must fully disclose side effects, permissions, and behavior. It only mentions 'frontend-level probe', implying a read-only validation, but does not explicitly state that it has no destructive effects, performance impact, or failure modes.
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 extremely brief (one sentence), which ensures conciseness but sacrifices necessary detail. It is not structured to front-load key information like side effects or output format.
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 4 parameters (1 required), an output schema, and no annotations, the description is insufficient for an agent to understand full behavior, parameter interactions, and expected return values. It lacks completeness for safe and effective use.
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 adds no additional meaning to the parameters. While parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, the tool would benefit from explaining the role of timeout_ms, settle_ms, and response_mode beyond defaults.
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 a specific action: validate chart rendering using a headless browser. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like validate_chart or validate_dashboard_render, leaving ambiguity about the exact scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 such as validate_chart or validate_dashboard_render. The description lacks context for appropriate invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It mentions 'run checks' but does not disclose if the tool is read-only, if it modifies state, or what side effects occur. This is insufficient for an agent to understand behavioral implications.
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, which is concise but too minimal for a tool with 8 parameters and an output schema. It sacrifices necessary detail for brevity.
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 high parameter count and zero schema description coverage, the description is incomplete. The presence of an output schema may mitigate some return value concerns, but the description lacks essential guidance for parameter usage and tool 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only hints at chart_id, dashboard_id, and include_render, ignoring row_limit, force, timeout_ms, settle_ms, and response_mode. Most parameters are unexplained.
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 'Run end-to-end checks' and the resource 'chart query/render and optional dashboard context', which distinguishes it from sibling tools like validate_chart. However, it does not specify what 'end-to-end' entails, leaving some ambiguity.
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 sibling tools such as validate_chart, validate_chart_render, or verify_dashboard_workflow. The description lacks context for appropriate usage scenarios or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states it runs verification but does not clarify if it is read-only, whether it modifies state, or any side effects. It also lacks details on rate limits, authentication needs, or error behavior.
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 of 10 words, which is concise but too brief for a tool with 7 parameters. It front-loads the main action but sacrifices necessary detail. It could be expanded to include key parameter context without being verbose.
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 7 parameters, no parameter descriptions, no annotations, and an output schema (though not shown), the one-sentence description is insufficient. It does not explain verification levels, response modes, or how parameters affect behavior. The description is incomplete for an AI agent to invoke 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning to parameters. It mentions 'structure + query + optional render', which loosely maps to 'include_render', but does not explain other parameters like 'row_limit', 'force', 'timeout_ms', 'settle_ms', or 'response_mode'. The 0% coverage requires more comprehensive parameter guidance.
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 runs structure, query, and optional render verification on a dashboard. It specifies the verb 'run' and the resource 'verification for a dashboard'. This distinguishes it from siblings like 'verify_dashboard_structure' (structure-only) and 'validate_dashboard' (validation, not verification). However, it could be more explicit about the scope and output.
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 prerequisites, context, or exclusion criteria. For example, it doesn't specify whether to use this instead of 'validate_dashboard' or 'verify_dashboard_structure'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It identifies the action as destructive but does not elaborate on cascading effects, reversibility, or permission requirements, which are critical for a delete operation.
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, making it concise, but it sacrifices completeness. It is front-loaded with the action but omits important details, striking a balance between brevity and clarity.
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 an output schema existing, the description does not explain return values or error scenarios. For a destructive tool, this lack of completeness hinders an agent's ability to handle responses 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?
The description provides no information about the two parameters (dashboard_id, dry_run). Given 0% schema coverage, the agent must infer meaning solely from parameter names, which is insufficient for confident use.
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 ('Delete') and resource ('a dashboard'), and adds a prerequisite ('after exporting a full backup'). This distinguishes it from other delete tools and informs the agent of a required precondition.
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 context by specifying the backup prerequisite, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., archival or disable actions) nor 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?
No annotations provided; description only says 'validate', which implies read-only, but doesn't confirm lack of side effects, permissions needed, or whether it returns a pass/fail result.
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 is efficient and front-loaded with key verbs and nouns. Could potentially add more context without losing 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 omits what the tool returns (list of issues, status, etc.) and doesn't clarify the meaning of 'layout graph integrity' or 'chart reference health'. Insufficient for a validation 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 has 0% description coverage and description adds no parameter explanation. response_mode enum values are not described; dashboard_id is obvious but not explained.
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 validates dashboard layout graph integrity and chart reference health, distinguishing it from broader validation tools like validate_dashboard and repair 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 vs siblings like validate_dashboard or repair_dashboard_chart_refs. Agent has to infer from tool name and description.
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?
Without annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states the removal action but does not reveal whether the operation is destructive, requires permissions, or what happens to other dashboard elements. The dry_run parameter is not explained.
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 redundant words. However, it is overly brief and could be restructured to include critical details like parameter usage and 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?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 parameters, output schema exists), the description is incomplete. It does not mention output schema contents (e.g., success message, count of duplicates removed) or the effect of dry_run, leaving gaps for safe and correct 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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds no extra meaning to the parameters. It does not explain the purpose of 'dry_run' (e.g., preview vs. actual removal) or provide any context beyond parameter names and types.
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 ('Remove duplicate chart placements') and the target resource ('dashboard layout'). It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like 'repair_dashboard_chart_refs' which handles chart references rather than layout duplicates.
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, how to interpret the dry_run parameter, or what to do after removal. The description lacks context for appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must bear full burden. It does not disclose that restore is destructive (overwrites current state), whether it merges or replaces, permissions needed, or 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.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence with 8 words is concise but overly minimal for a 5-parameter restore tool. It could be expanded without losing 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?
Given the complexity of a restore operation (5 parameters, output schema), the description is insufficient. It omits dry_run behavior, restore_json_metadata purpose, and id mismatch handling.
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 hints at snapshot_path. Five parameters exist, including boolean flags with defaults, but no explanation of their 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 verb 'Restore', the resource 'dashboard layout/settings', and the source 'local snapshot JSON file'. It distinguishes from import/export tools and snapshot listing 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 is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., import_dashboard), prerequisites, or exclusions. The description is minimal.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It describes the parameters but does not disclose behavioral traits like whether updates are destructive, permission requirements, or what happens on execution. The 'dry_run' parameter hints at a preview, but the behavior of the actual update is not explained.
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, using only four lines for parameters and a clear one-line purpose. Every sentence serves a purpose without any 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?
Given that an output schema exists, the description does not need to explain return values. However, the tool is a mutation with no annotations, so more behavioral context (e.g., 'This modifies the layer in place') would improve completeness. For a simple update, it is minimally adequate but leaves 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 description adds meaning for each parameter beyond the schema's property names, explaining 'New name for the layer' and 'New description'. However, it is essentially a paraphrase of the schema. With 0% schema description coverage, the description is necessary but minimal; it could add constraints (e.g., length limits) or formatting details.
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 'Update an existing annotation layer' which is a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'create_annotation_layer' or 'delete_annotation_layer', but the verb 'update' is distinct enough among the list of siblings.
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 or conditions, such as that the layer must exist or that 'create_annotation_layer' should be used for new layers.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the tool is read-only, modifies data, requires authentication, or how it handles errors. The term 'aggregate statuses' is vague without explaining what statuses mean or how they are computed.
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 that is front-loaded with the key verb and resource, containing no unnecessary words. It efficiently conveys the core functionality.
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 too brief. It does not explain validation behavior, interpretation of results, or edge cases. For a tool with 4 parameters and no annotations, the description should provide more context on when to use different parameter configurations.
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 (dashboard_id, row_limit, force, response_mode) with 0% schema description coverage. The description does not explain any parameter's purpose or behavior, leaving the agent to guess. For example, 'force' and 'response_mode' are not mentioned, nor is the impact of row_limit.
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 validates all charts on a dashboard and returns aggregate statuses, specifying the verb (validate), resource (all charts on a dashboard), and outcome. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like validate_chart (single chart) and validate_dashboard_render (render-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?
The description implies usage for validating all charts on a dashboard, but it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives. While the sibling list provides context (e.g., validate_chart for single charts), the description itself lacks guidance on prerequisites or decomposition strategies.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It fails to mention whether the operation is read-only or destructive, what side effects occur (e.g., file creation), or the nature of the output path parameter (local vs remote). The optional 'output_path' with default null implies return in response but is not clarified.
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 of 10 words, front-loaded with verb and resource. 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 an output schema likely explains return values, the description omits key context such as expected response format, file size limits, or permission requirements. For a 2-parameter tool with an output schema, the description is minimally adequate but lacks completeness.
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 adds no meaning to the parameters. 'dashboard_id' and 'output_path' are self-explanatory but lack details on format, behavior when null, or valid 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 verb ('Export'), resource ('dashboard'), output format ('ZIP bundle'), and purpose ('backup or migration'). It effectively distinguishes from siblings like 'import_dashboard' (inverse) and 'capture_dashboard_template' (template-specific).
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 vs alternatives such as 'capture_dashboard_template' or 'import_dashboard'. No prerequisites, limitations, or exclusions are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It only says 'get detail' and lists parameters, but does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, requires permissions, or has any side effects. This is insufficient for a mutation-free tool.
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 (3 lines) and front-loaded with the primary purpose. It wastes no words, but the parameter list could be integrated more seamlessly.
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 retrieval tool, the description covers the main function (get detail + annotations). An output schema exists to document return values. However, it omits context like response_mode semantics or typical use patterns.
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 adds brief meaning for layer_id ('the annotation layer ID') and enumerates response_mode options, which the schema only provides as types/enums without descriptions. However, it does not explain what the different response modes return in terms of detail.
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 'annotation layer', including that it returns annotations. This distinguishes it from siblings like list_annotation_layers (list all) and update/delete (modify).
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_annotation_layers (for browsing) or get_dashboard (for different resource). The usage context is only implied by the parameters.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It does not mention whether results are paginated, if the operation is read-only, or any side effects. The description only states the basic functionality.
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 at about 100 words, with a clear opening sentence, a brief definition of annotation layers, and an Args section. Every sentence serves a purpose.
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 an output schema (not shown), so the description need not detail return values. However, it could mention that the output varies by response_mode. Overall, it covers the essential context for usage.
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?
Schema coverage is 0%, but the description adds significant value by explaining each parameter: response_mode's enum options (compact, standard, full) with their meanings, and name_contains as a case-insensitive substring filter.
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 lists annotation layers in the current workspace, explaining what annotation layers are and that the tool helps discover layer IDs. This distinguishes it from the sibling get_annotation_layer, though not explicitly mentioned.
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 'Use this to discover layer IDs,' implying the use case, but does not contrast with alternatives like get_annotation_layer or specify when not to use this tool.
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?
No annotations provided, but description implies read-only behavior by mentioning 'Get' and return values. However, it does not explicitly state safety or permissions needed.
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 short (3 sentences) with no fluff. First sentence states purpose, second explains return value, third repeats parameter name. Efficient but could omit the Args line if schema covers it.
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 retrieval tool with one parameter and existing output schema, the description adequately explains the return value. No mention of errors but sufficient for basic 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%, but the tool description only repeats 'The dashboard ID' which adds no new meaning beyond the schema's type and required flag.
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 specific verb 'Get' and resource 'embedded configuration', clearly distinguishing from siblings like enable_embedded_dashboard or describe_dashboard by focusing on embedding state.
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. Siblings like disable_embedded_dashboard or enable_embedded_dashboard exist but no comparison provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions the dry_run parameter for preview, but lacks details on permissions, overwrite behavior, or error states.
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 a front-loaded purpose statement followed by a structured parameter list. No redundant information, though slightly longer due to parameter docs.
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 parameter semantics well and the output schema exists, so return values are unneeded. However, lacks usage context and behavioral details, making it minimally adequate for a 6-parameter mutating tool.
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?
Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description explains each parameter's purpose (e.g., 'New label (name) for the query') and the dry_run preview behavior, adding 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 'Update an existing saved query,' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_saved_query and delete_saved_query.
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, exclusions, or context for usage are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention whether deletion is permanent, reversible, requires permissions, or affects related entities. The dry_run parameter hints at preview capability but the core action's consequences are under-described.
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 short, structured with a clear definition and a list of parameters. Every 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?
With an output schema present, return values need not be explained. However, for a deletion tool, additional context like cascading effects or soft-delete behavior would improve completeness. The description is adequate but not comprehensive given the lack of annotations.
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?
Schema coverage is 0%, but the description adds meaningful explanations: template_id is identified as the ID to delete, and dry_run is explained as previewing without execution. This provides value beyond the schema's type/required fields.
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?

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?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It mentions 'recent local mutation-journal entries' implying a time window and locality, but lacks explicit disclosure about read-only nature or other behavioral traits such as authorization 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?
The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the key verb and resource. It is efficient but could benefit from additional detail 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 the moderate complexity (4 optional parameters with an enum) and 0% schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It omits crucial filtering semantics and the limit default, though an output schema exists for 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 adds no explanation of the parameters (resource_type, resource_id, tool_name, limit). The agent cannot infer filtering capabilities or the default limit from the description 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 the action ('List'), the resource ('recent local mutation-journal entries'), and the purpose ('for incident debugging'). It is specific and distinct from sibling tools, which are mostly CRUD on other resources.

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?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses the dry_run parameter for previewing, but lacks details on side effects, authorization needs, rate limits, or success/error responses. The output schema covers return values, but the description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the creation action.
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: one sentence for purpose followed by a simple bullet-like parameter list. Every sentence adds value, and the purpose is front-loaded. No irrelevant information is included.
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 creation tool with three parameters and an output schema, the description covers purpose and parameter semantics. However, it misses context like template name uniqueness, CSS validation rules, or permissions. It also does not differentiate from sibling creation tools like capture_dashboard_template.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the parameter descriptions in the tool description are essential. They provide clear, if brief, explanations for all three parameters: template_name, css, and dry_run. This adds meaning beyond the bare schema definition.
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?

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?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It explains dry_run for validation and allow_empty_layout flag, but does not explicitly state that updates are permanent or mention side effects like orphaned containers. Adequate but could be more explicit.
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 with a concise opening sentence followed by a clear Args list. Length is appropriate for the parameter count, but some redundancy (e.g., 'default: False' repeated) could be trimmed.
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 7 params, no annotations, and an output schema (not shown), the description covers all necessary context: prerequisite tools, parameter details, and usage scenarios. Complete enough for an agent to use correctly.
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?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description compensates by explaining each param: dashboard_id, dashboard_title, published, position_json (with layout context), json_metadata, allow_empty_layout, dry_run. Adds significant meaning beyond 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 'Update an existing dashboard's properties' and lists key properties, distinguishing it from create/delete tools. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from repair or validate tools, which are siblings.
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 using list_dashboards to find the ID and get_dashboard to inspect current state, providing clear prerequisite context. It does not mention when not to use or alternatives, but this is sufficient.
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 discloses key behaviors: does not take a screenshot, executes same query context, dashboard_id speeds lookup. Covers the main behavioral aspects.
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?

Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides context on when to use (validate chart params) and notes about dashboard_id, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives among 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?
The description discloses the action (revoke, prevent embedding) and the dry_run behavior. However, it does not mention whether the action is reversible, required permissions, or other side effects. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries full burden and could be more detailed.
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 lean, with two short paragraphs and a structured Args section. Every sentence adds value, and the purpose is front-loaded. No 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 description covers the core action and parameters, it lacks information about reversibility, authorization, or return values. With an output schema present, return values are covered, but behavioral completeness is moderate.
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 description explains both parameters: dashboard_id as the target and dry_run as a preview option. This adds clear meaning beyond the schema, which only provides types and defaults. With 0% schema coverage, the description compensates well.
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?

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Discloses dry_run behavior but omits side effects (creates resource), auth requirements, and conflict handling. Missing expected write operation transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Concise with front-loaded purpose. Includes structured Args section. Minor inefficiency in repeating parameter descriptions that could be integrated, but overall clear.
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 (return values not needed), description covers creation and parameters. Missing mention of persistence or link to retrieval tools, but acceptable with sibling context.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the 'Args' section fully explains each parameter's purpose (label, sql, database_id, schema, description, dry_run), compensating completely.
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?
Clear verb+resource: 'create' and 'saved SQL query'. Distinguishes from siblings like 'run_sql' (execute) and 'delete_saved_query' (delete).
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?
States that saved queries persist reusable SQL snippets, implying use for saving SQL. No explicit when-not-to-use, but context and sibling names provide sufficient differentiation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions polling for results but does not describe what happens if the query is still running, timeout behavior, error handling, or whether the tool blocks. This is insufficient for a polling tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and well-structured: a one-line summary, then a clear explanation of the async query flow, and a separate Args section for the parameter. Every sentence adds value without 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 has one parameter and an output schema exists, the description covers purpose and parameter semantics adequately. However, it could be more complete by detailing polling behavior (e.g., retry logic, timeout).
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 adds meaning by explaining that query_id is the key returned by an async SQL Lab query. It provides context beyond the schema's type and required flag. However, it could be more detailed about format or source.
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 fetches results of an async SQL query by its query ID. It uses a specific verb 'Fetch results' and resource 'async SQL query', and the context distinguishes it from synchronous query tools like run_sql.
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 that this tool is used after an async SQL Lab query returns a query ID, and to poll for results once the query completes. While it gives clear context for using the tool, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, but the sibling tool list provides that 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?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. The description states a read operation ('get') but does not explicitly confirm non-destructiveness or disclose potential behaviors like error handling, authorization needs, or side effects. The output schema helps but transparency is minimal beyond the name.
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 one sentence plus two parameter lines—no redundancy, front-loaded with purpose. Every sentence contributes 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 an output schema covering return values, the description covers the essential purpose and parameters. It lacks mention of potential errors (e.g., invalid query_id) or dependencies on other tools, but these are minor omissions for a simple getter.
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 description adds meaning by explaining query_id as 'The saved query ID' and enumerating response_mode options ('compact', 'standard', 'full'). This compensates for the schema having no parameter descriptions (0% coverage). However, it could elaborate on differences between response modes.
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 detail for a single saved query.' The verb 'get' and resource 'detail for a single saved query' are specific and distinguish from siblings like list_saved_queries (list overview) and create/update/delete operations.

The description advises using list_datasets to find the dataset_id, providing a clear prerequisite. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use or list alternatives, though the context of updating versus creating or querying is implied.
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?
The description indicates a state change (switching workspace) but does not detail side effects, permissions, or other behavioral traits. Since no annotations are provided, this is adequate but not comprehensive.
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 with three sentences and a structured Args section. Every sentence adds value, and the purpose is front-loaded.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, clear purpose), the description fully covers what an agent needs: purpose, prerequisite, parameter guidance, and link to sibling tool. Output schema exists but its explanation is unnecessary.
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 only specifies type string for workspace_title, but the description adds an example ('Mysten Labs--General') and clarifies it is the exact title. This adds meaningful context 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's purpose: 'Switch to a different Preset workspace by its exact title.' It uses a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by referencing list_workspaces for discovering titles.
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 explicitly states when to use the tool: 'You must call this before any read/write tools if PRESET_WORKSPACE was not set at startup.' It also advises using list_workspaces to find titles, providing clear usage context and 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?
No annotations provided, so the description carries the burden. It explains the behavior of the response_mode parameter with three options and default. For a read-only tool, this is good transparency, though it doesn't discuss error handling or 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 sentences: purpose, prerequisite, parameter details. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words. Front-loaded with the core action.
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 simple tool with two parameters and an output schema present, the description covers purpose, prerequisite, and parameter semantics sufficiently. No additional information needed.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description fully compensates by explaining both parameters: database_id as a numeric ID and response_mode with each enum option and default. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema's bare types and enums.
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 'Get detail for a single database connection,' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_databases by advising to use that first to find valid IDs, and from other get_* tools by the resource name.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly advises to use list_databases first, providing a clear prerequisite. Does not mention when not to use or alternatives, but for a simple get operation this is sufficient 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?
No annotations provided, and description does not explicitly state if the operation is read-only or disclose any behavioral traits beyond basic listing. However, the nature of listing implies safety.
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?
Front-loaded with purpose and usage, then parameter details in a clear structure. No wasted words.
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?
Comprehensive for a simple list tool: covers purpose, usage context, parameter details, and references output schema. Also provides ordering guidance relative to sibling tools.
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?
Fully explains both parameters: response_mode with enum options and default, and name_contains as case-insensitive substring filter, adding meaning beyond the schema despite 0% 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 'List database connections in the current workspace' and specifies it should be called before run_sql or create_dataset, distinguishing it from siblings.
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 instructs to call this tool BEFORE run_sql or create_dataset to find a valid database_id, providing strong usage 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?
No annotations, so description carries full burden. Clearly states read-only, single statement, blocked operations, response modes. Does not mention authentication or error handling, but constraints are well-disclosed.
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?
Front-loaded with purpose and usage context, then parameter list. No redundant sentences. Each sentence adds value. Well-structured and 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 parameter semantics, usage guidelines, behavioral constraints, and prerequisite (list_databases). Does not explain return values because output schema exists. Missing minor details like timeouts, but overall complete for a query tool.
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?
Schema coverage is 0%, but description comprehensively explains each parameter: sql, database_id (with lookup hint), schema (optional), limit (default 1000), and response_mode (enums with descriptions). Adds meaning beyond bare 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?
Clearly states it executes a read-only SQL query via Preset, specifying it's for debugging/verification before creating datasets. Distinguishes from sibling tools by referencing Snowflake MCP for primary exploration.
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 says when to use (confirm query works before creating dataset) and when not (prefer Snowflake MCP for primary SQL exploration). Also lists permitted commands (SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, EXPLAIN) and blocks write operations.
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 are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It clearly states the tool lists workspaces, which implies read-only behavior. However, it does not explicitly state that it is non-destructive or safe, but given the simple nature of a list operation, this is acceptable.
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. The first sentence states the purpose, the second provides crucial usage guidance. Perfectly front-loaded and efficient.
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?
Given the tool has no parameters, an output schema exists, and the description clearly states what the tool does and how it fits into a workflow (call first, pass to use_workspace). This is fully complete for its context.
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 zero parameters, the description need not add parameter details. The baseline for 0 params is 4. The description mentions the output contains workspace titles, which adds context, but no parameter information is needed.
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 ('list') and resource ('workspaces'), clearly stating the scope ('you have access to'). It differentiates from sibling tools by explicitly noting that this should be called first to discover workspace titles, which contrasts with similar listing tools 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 Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states when to use the tool ('FIRST') and how the output should be used ('pass one to use_workspace'). This provides clear guidance on context and avoids alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
