Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.3.5
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a completely distinct domain (email, DNS, WHOIS, SSL, IP, web scraping, text analysis, QR, IBAN, cron, JWT, PDF, password breach). There is no functional overlap; the boundaries between tools are clear and unambiguous.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun or adjective_noun pattern in lowercase snake_case (e.g., validate_email, dns_lookup, generate_qr). The naming is descriptive and predictable, making it easy for an agent to infer tool purpose from name alone.
Tool Count4/5With 17 tools, the server is on the larger side but remains well-scoped for a general-purpose internet utilities toolkit. Each tool serves a distinct and useful function; however, the broad scope may require careful tool selection to avoid overwhelming an agent.
Completeness4/5The tool set covers a comprehensive range of common developer needs (email validation, DNS, SSL, IP geolocation, web scraping, text analysis, PII redaction, QR, IBAN, cron, JWT, PDF conversion, password breach checking). Minor gaps exist (e.g., no domain availability check or URL parsing), but the surface is largely complete for its intended domain.
Average 4.6/5 across 16 of 17 tools scored. Lowest: 4/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Describes rendering in headless Chromium, CSS support, default A4 page size, and base64 return. No annotations exist, so description carries full burden; it adds sufficient behavioral context but omits potential limitations (e.g., timeouts, resource loading).
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 front-loaded with purpose and behavior, followed by structured Args and Returns sections. It is slightly longer than necessary but well-organized and free of repetition.
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 purpose, parameter details, behavioral notes, and return format. With an output schema present, it does not need to detail PDF structure. Missing minor aspects like error handling or dependency on external resources (e.g., fonts).
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?
Despite 0% schema coverage, the description's Args section fully explains the html parameter: expects a complete HTML document, recommends style block and @media print CSS. This adds rich context beyond the schema's minimal type definition.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it converts HTML to PDF and returns base64 string. Specifies use cases (invoices, reports) but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like screenshot_url.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides typical use cases but no guidance on when not to use or alternatives. Context signals show siblings like screenshot_url cover similar needs, but no exclusion criteria are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It explains it uses a language model, returns corrected text and edits, supports style modes, and has character limits per tier. However, it does not mention rate limits, authentication needs, or potential side effects beyond what is described.
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 well-structured with separate sections for input, output, and tiers. It is front-loaded with the main purpose. However, it is slightly verbose with repetition (e.g., 'Check and rewrite' appears twice). Still, it is clear and organized.
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 absence of an output schema, the description fully details the return structure ('corrected', 'edits', 'chars_in', 'chars_out') and explains the edits list composition. It also covers character limits for free and pro tiers, providing a complete picture of tool behavior.
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 coverage is 0%, so the description fully explains both parameters: 'text' as the input text, and 'style' with a list of options and defaults. It adds significant meaning beyond the schema's minimal type definitions.
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 checks and rewrites text for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style. It also describes the output (corrected text and edit list). It is distinct from sibling tools which are validation, lookup, and other text processing tools like translate or summarize.
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 explains what the tool does and its style options, but does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternate sibling tools (e.g., translate_text, summarize_text, redact_text). No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It states the tool queries authoritative DNS servers and returns records with TTL and query time, implying a read-only network operation. However, it omits details like rate limits, caching behavior, or error handling, leaving some transparency gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with clear sections (Args, Returns), uses bullet points for clarity, and every sentence adds value. It is appropriately succinct for the complexity of the tool.
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 simple 2-parameter schema and no output schema or annotations, the description covers the tool's purpose, parameters, return format, and use cases comprehensively. Minor omissions like error handling or authentication requirements are acceptable for a read-only DNS lookup tool.
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?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, but the tool description extensively documents both parameters: domain with examples, record_types with supported types and detailed explanations (including defaults and example values). This adds significant 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?
