Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: searching, retrieving inspiration, enhancing prompts, listing models, and generating images or videos. No overlap in functionality.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (e.g., search_gallery, generate_image), making it easy to predict tool behavior.
Tool Count5/5Six tools cover the essential workflow of visual inspiration and generation: search, get details, enhance prompt, list models, generate image/video. The count is well-scoped for this domain.
Completeness5/5The tool set provides a complete lifecycle for visual generation: inspiration discovery, prompt refinement, model selection, and generation of images or videos. No obvious gaps.
Average 4/5 across 6 of 6 tools scored. Lowest: 3.2/5.

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?
No annotations are provided, and the description only states it generates a video. Missing details on execution time, async behavior, destructive actions, or authentication needs.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no extraneous information. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 8 parameters and no output schema, the description lacks details on return values, error handling, or parameter interactions. Basic functionality is covered, but experienced users need more context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 88%, so most parameter descriptions are already present. The description adds value by noting that omitting model/quality/aspectRatio uses defaults, but does not explain advanced parameters like promptId or generateAudio.
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 phrase 'Generate one video with ImgLume' clearly states the action and resource. Mentioning image-to-video distinguishes it from sibling tools like generate_image, but it could be more explicit about output type.
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 implicit guidance by mentioning optional parameters and defaults, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus siblings or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so description doesn't need to emphasize safety. It adds that results include previews and IDs, but no details on pagination or rate limits. Provides some value beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no redundancy, front-loaded with key purpose. Every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Moderate complexity with 7 optional parameters and no output schema. Description covers basic purpose and usage scenario but not result format or parameter interactions. Sufficient but incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is only 29% (query and category have descriptions). The description does not explain the other five parameters (page, sort, limit, model, mediaType) despite low coverage. Fails to compensate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool searches the ImgLume gallery for visual inspiration, specifying use cases like 'ideas, references, styles, examples'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like generate_image or list_models.
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 says when to use: when user wants ideas or hasn't settled on direction. Implicitly suggests not to use for direct generation. Lacks explicit exclusions but context is sufficient.
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 discloses the tool can generate or edit, but it does not mention return format (e.g., image URL or file path), error handling, rate limits, or potential side effects. This is a significant gap for a tool that produces output.
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, dense sentence with no redundancy. It front-loads the main action and immediately provides usage tips. Every phrase adds value, achieving maximum conciseness without sacrificing clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (6 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate for basic usage but lacks important details such as output format, error handling, or processing time. A more complete description would include what the tool returns or how to handle failures.
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 100%, but the description adds meaningful context: referenceImages should contain source file for edits, and prompt should focus on the change. It also suggests omitting certain parameters to use defaults, which enhances understanding beyond the schema 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 'Generate or edit one image with ImgLume', specifying the verb (generate/edit) and resource (image). It distinguishes from sibling tools like generate_video (video) and search_gallery (searching), establishing a unique purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit guidance for editing: pass source image in referenceImages and keep prompt focused. It also advises omitting model, quality, aspectRatio to use defaults. While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use the tool, the context is clear for typical usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, but the description adds context by stating the tool uses the host model and returns guidance, not invoking external services. This clarifies the behavior beyond the annotation, though it omits details like whether the input prompt is modified or used for training.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the core action and key differentiator. Every sentence adds value, with no redundant or filler content. Efficient and to the point.
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 tool with 2 parameters, readOnlyHint annotation, and no output schema, the description adequately covers the function and behavior. It explains the tool does not call another AI service, which is important context. However, it does not describe the return format or how the guidance is presented, leaving a minor gap in completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description mentions 'short visual idea' (maps to prompt) and 'visual direction' (maps to style), but these are paraphrases of the schema descriptions without adding new meaning or format details. No additional value over 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: 'Turn a short visual idea into a stronger generation prompt.' It explicitly distinguishes from siblings like generate_image/generate_video by noting it 'returns concise guidance rather than calling another AI service.' This provides a specific verb and resource, fully differentiating from alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use cases (when you have a short visual idea and want a better prompt) but does not explicitly state when to use versus alternatives or provide exclusions. Sibling tools like search_gallery or generate_image are not contrasted, leaving the agent to infer context without clear guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description discloses key behavioral trait: it returns comprehensive data for one result. Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint, so description enhances with specific return contents.
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 that is front-loaded and contains all essential information. No redundancy or unnecessary 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?
Tool has one parameter, no output schema, and description explains what is returned. Given simplicity and no nested objects, description is fully complete.
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?
Parameter 'id' is fully described in schema (ImgLume inspiration ID). Description adds context that id comes from search_gallery, but this is marginal beyond schema. Baseline 3 due to high schema 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 it gets full details for a single result from search_gallery, listing specific elements (prompt, preview media, recommendations, attribution). Distinguishes from sibling search_gallery which returns a list.
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?
Implicitly clear that this tool is used after search_gallery to retrieve detailed information for a specific result. No explicit exclusions or alternatives, but context 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?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, indicating a safe read operation. The description adds value by specifying exactly what information is listed (supported quality, aspect-ratio, credit-cost). No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences: first states the purpose and specifics, second advises when to use. No redundant information.
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 no parameters or output schema, the description fully covers the tool's purpose and usage context. It is sufficient for an agent to understand and invoke 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?
No parameters are defined, so the baseline is 4. The description is unaffected by parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists image and video models from ImgLume with details on quality, aspect ratio, and credit cost. It distinguishes from sibling tools that generate or search content.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states 'Use when model choice, capability, or cost matters.' Provides clear context for when to use, though no exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
