Strata
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.8
- Disambiguation2/5
Several tools occupy overlapping impact/navigation territory: strata_impact, strata_validation_scope, and strata_navigate all return affected views/explores/fields, while strata_find_field and strata_query_field have similar search/query semantics. strata_list_orphans and strata_dead_code_register also blur together. Without more detailed descriptions, an agent could easily select the wrong tool.
Naming Consistency3/5All tools share the strata_ prefix and use snake_case, which provides a consistent namespace. However, the verb_noun pattern is not maintained: list_orphans and find_field sit alongside bare noun phrases like ir_status, pdt_costs, schema_drift, and conductor_status. The singular strata_skill also breaks the list/detail convention established by strata_list_skills.
Tool Count3/518 tools is above the typical 3-15 well-scoped range and mixes core data-model analysis tools with meta utilities like skills, conductor status, and chart templates. It is not extreme, but the set feels heavier and broader than necessary for a focused server.
Completeness4/5For a read-only data-model navigation and impact-analysis server, the surface covers discovery, dependency exploration, impact assessment, orphan/dead-code detection, schema drift, usage, costs, and even rendering charts. Minor gaps exist, such as no explicit per-explore detail tool and no apply flow after validation_scope, but agents can generally work around these.
Average 2.4/5 across 18 of 18 tools scored. Lowest: 1/5.

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.

- 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 behavioral burden. It says 'Render a chart' but does not disclose whether it writes a file, overwrites existing output, validates the spec, or what side effects occur. The out_path parameter hints at file creation, but this is not 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?
The description is a single concise sentence with no filler. It front-loads the primary action. The phrase '(path, status)' is somewhat cryptic but does not add unnecessary length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no annotations and minimal parameter documentation, the description does not provide enough context about expected inputs, output file behavior, or how this tool relates to strata_chart_templates. The output schema exists but the description still leaves key invocation details ambiguous.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds some meaning by identifying spec_yaml as a Vega-Lite template and data_json as JSON data with 'path, status' fields, while out_path is self-explanatory. However, it lacks format details, required field structures, and relationship between template and data.
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 a specific action ('Render a chart') and identifies the key inputs: a Vega-Lite template and JSON data. It is distinct from sibling tools like strata_chart_templates, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. Usage is only implied: use it when you want to render a chart.
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 present, so the description must carry behavioral context. It indicates the operation is an analysis ('determine') and names the result categories (impacted_views, impacted_explores, impacted_fields), which is useful. However, it does not disclose prerequisites, side effects, input-validity behavior, or performance characteristics.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler and includes key output terms in parentheses. It is compact and easy to scan; additional structure could improve readability, but it is efficiently written.
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 ambiguous one-parameter schema and a large sibling set, the description is too thin. It omits input grammar, typical usage flow, and any relationship to validation or impact-analysis alternatives. The output schema covers return shape, but operational context remains missing.
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 explain the 'changed' parameter, but it only says 'changes'. It does not clarify whether elements are file paths, field names, or arbitrary objects, nor the difference between the string and object forms. The agent is left to guess the expected input format.
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 uses a specific verb 'determine' and names the resource ('blast radius for changes') plus expected outputs (impacted views, explores, fields). The purpose is clear, but it does not explicitly distinguish this tool from siblings like strata_impact or strata_find_field beyond those output labels.
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 only usage signal is 'for changes', implying it should be used when assessing change impact. There is no explicit when/when-not guidance, no prerequisites, and no mention of alternatives among the many sibling tools. An agent cannot tell when to choose this over strata_impact or strata_explore_deps.
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 full burden. It describes a read-only 'List' operation and what is returned ('views and their resolved physical tables'), which is moderately transparent. However, it does not disclose details like whether any model filter applies, permissions needed, or behavior when the optional model is omitted.
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 short sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, and contains no filler. It is highly concise and easy to parse.
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?
Although the tool is simple with one optional parameter and an output schema exists, the description leaves the model parameter unexplained and gives no usage context. For a definition that must help an agent select and invoke the tool correctly, it is under-specified.
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 one parameter, model, with no description. The description's parenthetical '(model_filter, views, count)' appears to describe output fields, not the model parameter, so it provides no meaningful guidance for how to use the model argument. Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not compensate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List') and the resource ('views and their resolved physical tables'), and hints at the returned fields. It is specific enough to be distinguished from most sibling tools, though it does not explicitly contrast itself with any sibling.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like strata_explore_deps or strata_navigate. The description gives no context, prerequisites, or exclusions, so the agent must infer appropriate usage.
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 carries the full behavioral burden. It does communicate that this is a search/read operation and mentions output components ('matches, count'), but it does not disclose matching semantics, case sensitivity, pagination, or potential limitations. The additional behavioral detail is minimal but not misleading.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no filler. It front-loads the main action and scope, then compactly lists the key inputs and outputs. Every word contributes to understanding the tool's 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?
With only two parameters, an existing output schema, and a one-line description, the tool is minimally callable. However, the lack of sibling differentiation and the weak parameter semantics leave gaps that matter for correct tool selection, especially given the large sibling list.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description should compensate. It mentions 'query' and 'kind' by name but adds little meaning beyond what the schema already shows. 'matches, count' appear to be output fields rather than parameter documentation, so the semantics of how query matching works or how kind interacts with the search remain 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 action ('search for fields'), the resource ('across all views'), and hints at the result shape ('matches, count'). It is specific enough to understand the tool's core function, but it does not explicitly differentiate it from the similarly named sibling tool strata_query_field.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no reference to alternatives despite many sibling tools. The phrase 'across all views' gives some scope context, but an agent cannot determine how this differs from strata_query_field or when to prefer one over the other.
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 is the only behavioral signal. 'Get' conveys a read-only operation, and the parenthetical indicates the scope of returned entities, but the description doesn't disclose recursion depth, cost, or any special conditions beyond those.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One short sentence front-loads the verb and object, with the parenthetical adding detail at the end. There is no fluff or repeated schema 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?
The tool is simple with one required parameter and an output schema, so the basic call shape is inferable. However, missing parameter format details and lack of sibling routing leave meaningful gaps for an agent deciding how and when to call it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for missing parameter documentation, but it only repeats 'physical_table' without clarifying how to format or qualify it. The parenthetical uses 'physical_table' again in the output list, which can create ambiguity about what the parameter identifies.
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 ('Get') and a clear resource ('downstream impact of a physical table'), and the parenthetical enumerates the affected entity types. This distinguishes it from siblings like strata_view_sources and strata_explore_deps, which cover narrower or different dependency questions.
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 implies the tool should be used when downstream impact is needed, but it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance, prerequisites, or alternatives. It does not distinguish itself from sibling dependency tools or explain when one of those would be preferable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden and does so well: it states the output (views/explores/fields touched, source_file:source_line citations), and the conditional behavior when ticket is set. It doesn't mention side effects, but the language describes a read/analysis operation.
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 compact and front-loaded, with the main action in the first line and supporting output details following. A few phrases ('full navigator brief', 'in one call') are slightly promotional but not harmful.
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?
It covers required anchor semantics and the ticket-conditioned output, and an output schema exists so return values don't need detailing. Missing context includes the meaning of the `model` parameter and any guidance on when to choose this over the many sibling tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It does clarify `anchor` with allowed value categories and implies `ticket` is optional conditioning the what-to-touch inference, but `model` is left completely 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 names a specific action ('Classify... and return') on a specific resource ('ticket anchor'), and enumerates the accepted anchor forms (BQ table, field name, view, explore, .lkml filename). It is clear what the tool does, but it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling tools.
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?
Use is implied: call it when you have a ticket anchor and need a navigator brief with citations. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use vs alternatives or when-not-to-use guidance, and no sibling tool is referenced.
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 provided, the description carries the full behavioral burden. 'Get' implies a read operation, but the description does not explicitly state the absence of side effects, freshness expectations, or failure behavior; the listed fields add some clarity for a simple status read.
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 front-loaded sentence with the verb, resource, and key output labels included. Every word contributes value and there is no filler.
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 zero-parameter status tool with an output schema, the description is largely sufficient: it names the resource and the expected fields. A brief usage note distinguishing it from sibling status tools would improve completeness, but the gap is modest given the tool's simplicity.
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 tool has zero parameters, so no parameter documentation is needed and schema coverage is trivially complete. The parenthesized terms appear to describe response content rather than arguments, which is acceptable here.
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 ('Get') and a distinct resource ('Conductor workflow status'), then enumerates the key fields returned. This clearly differentiates it from status-like siblings such as strata_ir_status.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like strata_ir_status or strata_validation_scope. An agent must infer the intended context from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the disclosure burden. 'List' implies a read-only operation and the description names the output fields, but it does not state scope details or behavioral caveats beyond that. For a simple zero-parameter list tool this is adequate, though minimal.
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 front-loaded sentence that states the action, the resource, and the relevant output attributes with no filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter list tool with an output schema, the description provides sufficient context: it names the operation, the resource, and the fields an agent can expect. No additional guidance is necessary to invoke it 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?
The tool has zero parameters and the schema properties are empty, so parameter semantics are not a concern. The description's field list refers to the output, not inputs, which is fine because there is nothing for the agent to configure.
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 and resource: 'List available skills' and enumerates the returned attributes (name, domain, mode, complexity, trigger). It is easily distinguishable from siblings by its plural 'skills' and list semantics, though it does not explicitly contrast with the singular 'strata_skill' tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied: an agent would call this when it needs a catalog of available skills. However, there is no explicit when-or-when-not guidance, and the sibling 'strata_skill' suggests an alternative that is not mentioned or routed around.
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 must carry the behavioral burden. It discloses that the tool is a getter returning 'full SKILL.md content' for a named skill. It does not mention behavior on invalid or missing skill names, case sensitivity, or that it is read-only (though 'Get' implies this).
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, front-loaded sentence that uses no filler. Every word contributes to the tool's purpose and scope.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With one required parameter and an output schema present, the description is largely complete. It names what the tool returns and scopes it to a specific skill. The only notable gap is no guidance on what happens if the skill is not found or how to obtain a valid name, but these are minor for such a simple getter.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must clarify the 'name' parameter. It does tie the parameter to 'a specific skill', which gives some meaning beyond the schema's bare string type. It does not explain how to identify valid names or provide examples, but with only one parameter this may be sufficient.
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 ('Get') and resource ('full SKILL.md content') scoped to 'a specific skill'. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like strata_list_skills, which lists skills, and other strata_* tools about queries or dependencies.
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: call this when you have a specific skill name and want its full content. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this over siblings (e.g., use strata_list_skills to discover names first) or any exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It signals a read-only listing operation and describes the output fields, which is useful, but it does not explicitly confirm that no side effects occur or describe any environment-specific behavior. For a simple zero-parameter list tool, this is adequate but not rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no filler. The main action and resource are front-loaded, and the parenthetical output detail is the only extra information, which is necessary and concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter listing tool with an output schema present, this description provides enough context for an agent to invoke it correctly: what it lists, what the output contains, and nothing else is required. The sibling context does not reveal a missing prerequisite or alternative that needs explanation.
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?
There are zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds value by clarifying what the returned templates contain ('name, mark') and narrowing the scope to 'available Vega-Lite chart templates'.
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 a specific resource ('available Vega-Lite chart templates'), and it identifies the output fields ('name, mark'). This clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like strata_render_chart, which presumably consumes rather than lists templates.
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 intended use is implied by the verb and resource: call this tool to enumerate available chart templates. However, it does not explicitly state when to use it instead of an alternative such as strata_render_chart, nor does it mention any prerequisite relationship between listing and rendering templates.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
