SIA MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a unique combination of entity and action (create, get, delete). There is no overlap; even the lookup tools (e.g., sia_get_seasons, sia_get_varieties) are for distinct reference data.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow the consistent pattern 'sia_<verb>_<entity>' with snake_case. Verbs are consistently 'create', 'get', or 'delete', and the entity names are in lowercase. The pattern is uniform across all 25 tools.
Tool Count4/525 tools cover a broad agricultural domain including areas, fields, crop zones, perennials, locations, characteristics, KPIs, and reference data. While slightly above typical range, each tool serves a clear purpose and the count is justified for the scope.
Completeness2/5Most entities lack update operations (e.g., fields, perennials, characteristics, KPIs) and some lack delete operations (e.g., fields, perennials). This creates dead ends for agents needing to modify or remove data, limiting workflow completion.
Average 4/5 across 25 of 25 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.

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
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds no behavioral traits beyond this (e.g., whether deletion is irreversible or cascading). It fails to provide additional context beyond what annotations already convey.
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 short but includes an 'Args' section that partially duplicates the function description. It could be more concise by removing redundancy.
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 simple tool with one parameter and rich annotations, the description is adequate but lacks details on return value or error behavior. No output schema is present, so the agent must infer success/failure from other cues.
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. However, it only restates the parameter 'id' with type and format, adding little beyond the schema. It does not clarify the UUID format or provide any constraints not already in 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 verb 'Delete' and the resource 'location by ID from the SIA LocationService'. Among siblings, there are other delete tools (e.g., sia_delete_area, sia_delete_crop_zone), so it is properly distinguished.
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, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. The description simply restates the action without providing usage 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?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, etc. The description adds that the tool returns a Created Perennial object, confirming it is a mutation and providing return structure. However, it does not disclose other behavioral traits such as idempotency, side effects on related data, or required permissions. With annotations providing basic safety info, the description offers marginal added value.
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 and structured with an 'Args:' section listing parameters with one-line meanings. It avoids fluff but the parameter list could be integrated more naturally. Still, 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?
Given 7 parameters and no output schema, the description covers parameter meanings and states the return type (Created Perennial object). It does not explain error conditions, validation rules, or behavior on duplicate entries. The description is adequate for basic invocation but lacks depth for robust decision-making.
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 low (14%), but the description adds a brief meaning for each parameter (e.g., 'UUID of the parent field' for field_ID). This compensates for the schema's lack of descriptions, enabling an agent to understand the purpose of each parameter beyond name and type.
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 creates a perennial plant record in the SIA PerennialsService. The verb 'create' and resource 'perennial plant record' are specific, and the tool name aligns with sibling tools like sia_create_field, distinguishing it as a creation tool for perennials.
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 (e.g., when to create a field vs a perennial). It does not mention prerequisites, preconditions, or conditions that would help an agent decide to invoke this tool over sibling creation 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?
Annotations are all false, providing no behavioral signals. The description discloses that the tool creates a field and returns the created object with ID. It adds context about relationships (farm, area) but does not cover side effects, permissions, or error conditions. The behavioral disclosure 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 concise: a short paragraph followed by a bullet-like Args list and a return statement. Every sentence adds value, front-loading the purpose. There is no redundant or verbose language. It effectively communicates the necessary information without waste.
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 4 parameters and no output schema, the description provides a return statement indicating the created object includes an ID. It explains prerequisites for area creation and relationships. However, it does not cover validation or error scenarios (e.g., missing farm). Given the parameter richness and clear schema, it is largely complete but could expand on constraints.
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?
Input schema has 100% coverage for parameter descriptions, setting a baseline of 3. The description adds meaningful value by explaining that area_ID should be created with sia_create_area first, and by describing the relationships between field, farm, and area. This goes beyond the schema descriptions, earning a 4.
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 starts with 'Create a new field in the SIA FarmAndFieldService', which clearly states the verb and resource. It adds context that a field belongs to a farm and is associated with an area, but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like sia_create_area or sia_create_crop_zone. The purpose is clear but lacks sibling distinction.
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 by listing parameters and highlighting that area_ID must be created with sia_create_area first. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide exclusions or scenarios where this tool is not appropriate. The guidance is limited to a prerequisite hint.
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?
Annotations already indicate the tool is not read-only (readOnlyHint=false) and not destructive (destructiveHint=false), so 'Create' adds little beyond that. The description does not disclose side effects, permission requirements, or uniqueness constraints, failing to provide value beyond the 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?
The description is concise, with a clear purpose sentence followed by a bulleted list of arguments. Every word is necessary, and no redundant information is present.
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 description covers parameters well but lacks details on the return object beyond 'Created Location object with ID'. No output schema exists, so more information about the response structure or potential errors would improve completeness. The four parameters are adequately described.
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 low schema coverage (25%), the description explains each parameter's meaning and provides an example for geolocation_geojson, which the schema also describes. This adds significant clarity for all four parameters, compensating for the schema gap.
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 'Create' and the resource 'location' with an example ('assembly point'). It distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like sia_create_area and sia_create_crop_zone by naming the specific entity and service.
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 when to use (to create a location) but provides no explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives. No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned, relying on the agent to infer from 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?
The description discloses that this tool creates a KPI object and returns it, which is consistent with the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false). However, it does not add behavioral context beyond what annotations provide, such as side effects, authentication requirements, or error conditions.
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: a one-line summary followed by a clear Args list. Every sentence adds value, with no redundant information. It is front-loaded with the key purpose.
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 create tool with 4 parameters and 100% schema coverage, the description adequately covers the operation. It mentions the return type ('Created KPI object') and examples. However, it could be more complete by noting that the crop zone must exist, but overall it is sufficient.
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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description's Args section mirrors the schema and adds minimal value, such as the example 'total production estimate' in the main description, but does not enhance parameter understanding 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 action ('Add a KPI value') and the resource ('to a crop zone'), with examples like 'total production estimate'. It effectively differentiates from sibling tools like sia_create_crop_zone_characteristic, which adds a different type of data.
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 adding KPI values to crop zones, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., sia_get_crop_zone_kpis for reading, or other creation tools). No exclusions or prerequisites 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?
Annotations already declare read-only, open-world, idempotent, non-destructive hints. The description adds value by detailing the return fields and parameter behavior (e.g., filter syntax, default top), providing context 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is front-loaded with purpose, followed by entity explanation, parameter list, and return fields. It is efficient with no redundant sentences, though could be slightly tighter.
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 no output schema, the description includes all key return fields. It covers parameters, behavior, and context. Siblings are distinct, and the tool's role is clear. Adequate for agent invocation.
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%, and the description enriches both parameters: gives an OData filter example, states default top=100, and mentions max results in schema but not in description. This adds practical usage context 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 it lists agricultural areas from SIA AreaService, specifies what areas represent, and lists return fields. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling get tools (e.g., sia_get_fields), though the entity type is distinct.
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 listing areas with optional filtering and pagination, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sia_get_crop_zones or sia_get_fields.
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, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds that it returns an array of objects and gives example filter syntax, but does not elaborate on pagination behavior, sorting, or rate limits. Some value added 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?
The description is concise with a clear introductory sentence and a bulleted Args/Returns structure. Every sentence serves a purpose with no redundancy.
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 no output schema, the description states the return type but does not detail the fields of CropZoneCharacteristicValue objects. However, the tool has simple parameters and annotations cover safety, so it is mostly complete for a read-only listing tool.
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 50%, and the description adds a concrete filter example and clarifies the default for top. This goes beyond the schema's minimal description for filter, but the schema already provides type, min, max, and default for top.
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 characteristic values attached to crop zones, with examples like tree counts and custom attributes. This verb-resource combination distinguishes it from sibling tools like sia_get_crop_zones (which returns zones) and sia_get_field_characteristics.
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 provides an example filter but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like sia_get_characteristic_configurations or how to decide between filtering and pagination. Usage context is implied but not clearly bounded.
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 confirm it's read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds behavioral context by specifying default top=100, max results=500, and the OData filter format, but does not delve into error handling or pagination details.
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: a one-sentence definition of a crop zone, parameter details in two bullet-style lines, and a return type line. No superfluous content; every sentence serves a purpose.
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 low parameter count, rich annotations, and the description listing return fields (ID, name, isFallow, etc.), the tool is adequately documented for correct invocation. Missing details like field data types or error scenarios are minor gaps.
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 50% (filter has a description, top does not). The description compensates by explaining 'top' as max results with a default, and provides an example for 'filter' (e.g., "field_ID eq '<uuid>'"). This adds meaningful semantic 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 action ('List crop zones from the SIA CropZoneService') and defines a crop zone, making it distinct from sibling tools like create or delete operations.
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 such as sia_create_crop_zone or sia_get_crop_zone_characteristics. The description only explains what the tool does, not its context of use.
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, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false, so the description adds value by specifying the return format (array of objects with ID, name, description, unit). However, it does not disclose rate limits, authentication requirements, or whether the list is paginated.
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 succinct, consisting of three short sentences that immediately convey the tool's purpose, provide an example, and state the return type. No redundant 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?
For a simple read tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description covers the main purpose and output structure. However, it omits details about the 'top' parameter (limiting results) and does not explain potential variations in the returned unit field.
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 description does not mention the 'top' parameter at all, even though the input schema has no descriptions (0% coverage). With only one optional parameter, the description should explain its purpose (e.g., limiting results) but fails to do so.
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 KPI definitions and explains what KPI definitions are with examples. It also distinguishes itself from sibling tools like sia_get_crop_zone_kpis by noting that the IDs are used for creating crop zone KPIs.
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 usage guidance by stating that kpiDefinition_ID values are used when creating crop zone KPIs, implying this tool is for retrieving definitions. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like sia_get_crop_zone_kpis or mention 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?
The description states it creates a resource and returns it with an ID. However, it does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond that, such as side effects, required permissions, or constraints. Annotations are all false and provide no additional context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise: a one-line summary followed by a structured Args list and Returns line. No redundant information, every sentence is necessary.
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 and the description covers parameters and return value. However, the input schema is empty, creating a contradiction that may confuse agents. The description is fairly complete in isolation but incomplete when reconciled with the schema.
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 provides clear parameter names, types, and optionality despite the input schema being empty. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema, though no constraints or defaults are specified. The baseline for empty schema is higher, and 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?
The description explicitly states it attaches a characteristic value to a crop zone, with concrete examples such as number of trees. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like sia_create_crop_zone (creates a crop zone) and sia_create_crop_zone_kpi (creates a KPI).
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 attaching characteristics but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sia_get_crop_zone_characteristics (reading) or other create tools. The usage context is inferred rather than stated.
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 indicate a safe read-only operation. The description adds that it returns 'estimated production values', providing useful behavioral context beyond the annotations. 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with an Args and Returns section, but it is slightly redundant given the schema. It remains concise and front-loaded with the main purpose.
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?
With no output schema, the description adequately specifies the return structure (array of KPI objects). It covers the necessary details for a single-parameter read operation.
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% with a clear description of cropZone_ID. The description repeats this info without adding new meaning, meeting the baseline for full 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?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'KPI values for a specific crop zone'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like sia_get_crop_zone_characteristics and sia_get_crop_zones by specifying that it retrieves KPI data.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like sia_get_crop_zone_characteristics. The description implies usage for retrieving KPIs but lacks exclusions or context for differentiation.
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 indicate it's not read-only and not destructive. The description adds that it returns a 'Created CropZone object with ID', which is useful. No contradictions with annotations.
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 an overview, bulleted arguments, and return statement. It is clear and not overly verbose, though it could be slightly more concise without losing meaning.
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's complexity (12 parameters, 6 required, no output schema), the description covers the essential purpose and parameters, and mentions the return. It lacks details on error conditions or dependencies, but is sufficient for basic 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 description coverage is 83%, but the description adds value by grouping parameters by purpose and explaining the linking concept (e.g., 'UUID of the parent field'). It clarifies the role of each field beyond the schema's short descriptions.
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 'Create' and the resource 'new crop zone', and explains that it links multiple entities (field, area, crop, variety, season), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like sia_create_field or sia_create_area.
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?

- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description is consistent with annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, etc.). It adds value beyond annotations by explaining the purpose and usage of the configurations, though no additional behavioral traits are 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?
The description is three sentences: purpose, definition, and usage guidance. It is efficiently structured with no redundant information.
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 list tool, the description explains the concept, return type, and how to use the results. It omits the 'top' parameter but the schema covers it. Without output schema, describing return shape adds 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?
The description does not mention the 'top' parameter at all. With schema coverage at 0%, the description should compensate but fails to add meaning; the schema provides constraints but no semantic context.
