MCPEmulate
MCPEmulate is an MCP server that provides CPU emulation, disassembly, and assembly capabilities for LLM agents, supporting x86 (32/64-bit), ARM (32/64-bit), MIPS32 (LE/BE), and RISC-V (32/64-bit).
Session Management: Create/destroy isolated emulation sessions per architecture; export/import full session state (memory, registers, breakpoints, symbols) as JSON.
Memory Operations: Map regions with configurable permissions; read/write memory (hex/base64); list mapped regions with a /proc/self/maps-style view; hex dump (up to 4KB); search for byte patterns; snapshot and diff memory between two points in time.
Register Control: Read/write registers individually or all at once; inspect the stack with symbol resolution; save/restore named register context snapshots.
Execution Control: Run emulation bounded by stop address, instruction count, or timeout; single-step with disassembly output; manage conditional breakpoints with expression support (e.g., eax == 42, rax > 0x1000 and rcx != 0).
Watchpoints: Add/remove/list watchpoints on memory addresses for read, write, or both access types.
Syscall Hooking: Hook syscalls in skip (log and continue) or stop mode; retrieve paginated logs with syscall number, arguments, and PC. Supported instructions: int 0x80 (x86_32), syscall (x86_64, MIPS), svc 0 (ARM/AArch64), ecall (RISC-V).
Execution Tracing: Enable/disable instruction tracing; retrieve paginated trace logs; save and diff two execution traces instruction-by-instruction.
Symbol Management: Add/remove/list symbolic names for addresses; symbols appear in stack views, traces, and memory maps.
Binary Loading: Load raw machine code at a specified address, or load full ELF/PE/Mach-O executables with automatic segment mapping, permissions, entry point setup, and symbol registration.
Standalone Assembly/Disassembly: Assemble instructions to machine code for x86, ARM, and MIPS (no RISC-V assembly); disassemble machine code for all supported architectures — no session required.
Provides CPU emulation, disassembly, and assembly tools for ARM (32-bit) and AArch64 architectures, allowing agents to execute code, manage breakpoints, and hook syscalls within isolated sessions.
Exposes CPU emulation and disassembly capabilities for RISC-V 32 and RISC-V 64 architectures, supporting memory mapping, register inspection, and instruction-by-instruction execution tracing.

MCPEmulate
This project was vibecoded.
An MCP server that exposes CPU emulation, disassembly, and assembly as tools for LLM agents. Built on Unicorn (emulation), Capstone (disassembly), Keystone (assembly), and LIEF (binary parsing).
Agents can create isolated emulation sessions, load code or full executables, set breakpoints, hook syscalls, step through instructions, inspect memory and registers, and diff execution traces -- all through the standard MCP tool interface.
Supported Architectures
Architecture | Emulation | Disassembly | Assembly | Syscall Hooking |
x86 (32-bit) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
|
x86-64 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
|
ARM (32-bit) | Yes | Yes | Yes |

dict[int, str | None](address to optional condition), not a set. This supports conditional breakpoints while keeping the same lookup semantics.Syscall conventions are data, not code.

Available Tools
41 toolsadd_breakpointA
Add a breakpoint at the given address.
Idempotent — adding the same address twice is a no-op.
Args: session_id: The session ID. address: The address to break at. condition: Optional condition expression (e.g. "eax == 42", "rax > 0x1000 and rcx != 0").
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| address | Yes | ||
| condition | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively adds context beyond the schema by stating the tool is idempotent (a no-op if the same address is added twice), which is a key behavioral trait. However, it lacks details on permissions, rate limits, or error conditions, leaving some gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded, starting with the core purpose, followed by idempotency note, and then parameter explanations. Each sentence earns its place without redundancy, making it efficient and well-structured for quick understanding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema), the description is somewhat complete but has gaps. It covers purpose, idempotency, and parameters, but lacks details on return values, error handling, or interactions with sibling tools like 'list_breakpoints'. This makes it adequate but not fully comprehensive for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds meaning by explaining each parameter: 'session_id' as the session ID, 'address' as the address to break at, and 'condition' with examples like 'eax == 42'. This clarifies semantics beyond the basic schema, though it could provide more detail on format or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Add') and resource ('breakpoint at the given address'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'remove_breakpoint' or 'list_breakpoints'. It precisely defines what the tool does without being vague or tautological.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context by mentioning idempotency, which helps understand when to use it (e.g., safe to call repeatedly). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives like 'remove_breakpoint' for different scenarios, leaving some guidance implicit rather than explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
add_symbolA
Associate a symbolic name with a memory address.
Overwrites if the name already exists.
Args: session_id: The session ID. name: Symbol name. address: Memory address.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| name | Yes | ||
| address | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It discloses the overwrite behavior ('Overwrites if the name already exists'), which is valuable for a mutation tool. However, it lacks information about permissions, side effects, error conditions, or what happens after association (e.g., persistence scope).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by behavioral note and parameter details. Every sentence earns its place with zero waste—no redundant or vague phrasing. The structure is logical and efficiently conveys essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It covers the basic operation and parameters but lacks details on return values, error handling, or integration with sibling tools (e.g., how symbols relate to breakpoints or memory operations). Given the debugging context, more behavioral context would be helpful.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 explicitly lists all three parameters with brief explanations ('session_id: The session ID', 'name: Symbol name', 'address: Memory address'), adding meaningful context beyond the bare schema. However, it doesn't specify format constraints (e.g., address integer range, name character limits).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Associate') and resource ('symbolic name with a memory address'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'remove_symbol' by specifying creation/overwrite behavior rather than deletion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_symbols' or 'remove_symbol'. It mentions overwriting behavior but doesn't specify prerequisites, constraints, or typical use cases within the debugging context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
add_watchpointA
Add a memory watchpoint.
Idempotent -- same address replaces the existing watchpoint.
Args: session_id: The session ID. address: Memory address to watch. size: Number of bytes to watch (default 1). access: Access type -- "r" (read), "w" (write), or "rw" (both). Default "w".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| address | Yes | ||
| size | No | ||
| access | No | w |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behavioral traits: idempotency ('same address replaces the existing watchpoint'), default values for parameters, and the tool's purpose. However, it doesn't mention potential side effects, error conditions, or performance implications.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is perfectly structured: a clear purpose statement first, followed by behavioral note, then parameter details. Every sentence earns its place with no wasted words. It's appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description does well to explain parameters and idempotency. However, it doesn't describe what happens after adding a watchpoint (e.g., how breakpoints trigger, what data is returned). For a debugging tool with behavioral implications, this leaves some gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate fully. It successfully adds meaning for all 4 parameters: explains 'session_id' context, clarifies 'address' as a memory address, defines 'size' as bytes with default, and specifies 'access' options with defaults. This goes well beyond the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Add a memory watchpoint') and resource ('memory watchpoint'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'remove_watchpoint' or 'list_watchpoints'. It's not a tautology of the name and provides meaningful context about what the tool does.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by specifying idempotent behavior and default parameters, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'add_breakpoint' or 'remove_watchpoint'. It provides some context but lacks explicit guidance on tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
assembleB
Assemble instructions into machine code using Keystone.
Args: arch: Architecture name (x86_32, x86_64, arm, arm64). code: Assembly source code (e.g. "mov eax, 42; ret"). address: Base address for assembly (affects relative offsets). Default 0.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| arch | Yes | ||
| code | Yes | ||
| address | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the tool uses 'Keystone' but doesn't describe what happens after assembly (e.g., where the machine code is stored, if it's executed, or if errors are returned). For a tool that transforms code, this lack of output or error behavior details is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured and front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by parameter details. Every sentence adds value, with no redundant information. It could be slightly more concise by integrating the parameter explanations more seamlessly, but it's highly efficient overall.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool that performs code transformation. It explains inputs well but omits critical details about outputs (e.g., machine code format, error handling) and behavioral context (e.g., how this integrates with sibling tools like emulation). This leaves gaps for an agent to use it effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 effectively explains all three parameters: 'arch' with architecture examples, 'code' with assembly source examples, and 'address' with its effect on relative offsets. This adds substantial meaning beyond the bare schema, though it could specify format constraints (e.g., integer base for address).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Assemble instructions into machine code using Keystone.' It specifies the verb ('assemble'), resource ('instructions'), and technology ('Keystone'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'disassemble' which performs the inverse operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. While it mentions 'Keystone,' it doesn't explain when assembly is needed in the context of sibling tools like emulation or memory operations, leaving the agent to infer usage 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.
create_emulatorA
Create a new CPU emulation session.
Args: arch: Architecture name. One of: x86_32, x86_64, arm, arm64.
Returns a dict with session_id and arch.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| arch | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool creates a session and returns a dict with session_id and arch, which is useful. However, it lacks details on permissions, resource limits, session lifecycle, or error conditions, leaving behavioral gaps for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by structured details on args and returns. It's efficient with minimal waste, though the formatting as a code block might slightly reduce readability in some contexts.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description provides basic creation and return info but lacks context on session management, dependencies, or error handling. Given the complexity implied by sibling tools, it's adequate but has clear gaps in completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, but the description fully compensates by explaining the single parameter 'arch' with its allowed values (x86_32, x86_64, arm, arm64). This adds crucial meaning beyond the bare schema, making parameter usage clear and complete.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and resource ('new CPU emulation session'), making the purpose evident. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'import_session' or 'restore_context', which might also create or restore sessions, so it misses full sibling distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. Sibling tools like 'import_session' or 'restore_context' might serve similar purposes, but the description offers no context on prerequisites, sequencing, or exclusions for this creation tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
destroy_emulatorB
Destroy an emulation session and free its resources.
Args: session_id: The session ID returned by create_emulator.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions freeing resources, which is useful, but lacks details on permissions needed, whether the action is reversible, error conditions (e.g., invalid session_id), or side effects on related data. This is a mutation tool with significant behavioral gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by a concise parameter explanation. No extraneous information; every sentence earns its place efficiently.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of a destructive operation, no annotations, no output schema, and low schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It should cover more behavioral aspects like confirmation prompts, effects on sibling tools, or return values to be adequately helpful.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by explaining the single parameter 'session_id' as 'The session ID returned by create_emulator.' This adds meaningful context beyond the schema's basic type information, though it could specify format or validation rules.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Destroy') and resource ('an emulation session'), and the purpose is specific. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'export_session' or 'import_session' that might also manage sessions, though the destructive nature is implied.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides minimal guidance by referencing 'create_emulator' as the source of session_id, but it doesn't specify when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'export_session' for saving or 'import_session' for loading). No explicit when-not-to-use or prerequisite context is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
diff_memoryB
Compare two memory snapshots and return changed byte ranges.
Args: session_id: The session ID. label_a: First snapshot label. label_b: Second snapshot label.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| label_a | Yes | ||
| label_b | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the tool compares snapshots and returns changed byte ranges, but lacks details on behavioral traits such as performance implications, error conditions, or how the comparison is performed (e.g., byte-level, with tolerances). This is inadequate for a tool that likely involves complex memory analysis.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by parameter explanations. It avoids redundancy, but the parameter section is somewhat terse and could be more informative without sacrificing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of memory analysis, lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the output format (e.g., structure of changed byte ranges), error handling, or dependencies on other tools like 'snapshot_memory', leaving the agent with insufficient context for reliable use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 lists the three parameters with brief explanations, but these add minimal semantic value beyond the schema's titles (e.g., 'First snapshot label' vs 'label_a'). No details on format, constraints, or relationships between parameters are provided, leaving significant gaps.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('compare two memory snapshots') and the resource ('memory snapshots'), with the output specified ('return changed byte ranges'). It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'snapshot_memory' (which creates snapshots) and 'diff_trace' (which compares traces instead of memory).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. While it implicitly suggests usage after creating snapshots with 'snapshot_memory', there is no explicit mention of prerequisites, timing, or comparisons to similar tools like 'diff_trace' or 'search_memory'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
diff_traceB
Compare two saved traces instruction-by-instruction.
Returns the common prefix length, divergence point, and up to 50 differing entries.
Args: session_id: The session ID. label_a: First trace label. label_b: Second trace label.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| label_a | Yes | ||
| label_b | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the return values (common prefix length, divergence point, up to 50 differing entries), which adds some context. However, it lacks details on permissions, rate limits, side effects, or error handling, leaving significant gaps for a tool that likely involves data analysis.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured and front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by return details and parameter list. It uses minimal sentences without waste. A point is deducted because the parameter explanations could be more integrated, but overall it's efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description provides basic purpose and parameters but lacks depth. It doesn't cover error cases, output format details beyond a high-level summary, or integration with sibling tools. This is adequate for a simple comparison tool but leaves gaps in contextual understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 lists all three parameters with brief explanations ('session_id: The session ID', etc.), adding meaning beyond the bare schema. However, it doesn't elaborate on format (e.g., what constitutes a valid label) or dependencies, slightly limiting utility.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Compare two saved traces instruction-by-instruction.' This specifies the verb (compare) and resource (saved traces) with operational detail (instruction-by-instruction). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'diff_memory' or 'get_trace' beyond the trace focus, keeping it from a perfect score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. The description mentions comparing traces but doesn't specify prerequisites (e.g., needing saved traces via 'save_trace'), contrast with similar tools like 'diff_memory', or indicate typical use cases. This leaves the agent without context for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
disable_traceB
Disable execution tracing.
The trace log is preserved for inspection via get_trace.
Args: session_id: The session ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states that disabling tracing preserves the log for inspection via 'get_trace,' which adds some context about post-operation behavior. However, it doesn't cover critical aspects such as whether this requires specific permissions, if it's reversible, potential side effects, or error conditions, making it insufficient for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded, starting with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by additional context and parameter details. Every sentence earns its place by providing essential information without redundancy, making it efficient and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity as a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It covers the purpose and parameter semantics but lacks details on behavioral traits, return values, or error handling. This leaves gaps in completeness, though it meets a basic threshold for a single-parameter tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description includes an 'Args' section that documents the single parameter 'session_id,' adding meaning beyond the input schema, which has 0% description coverage. This compensates well for the schema's lack of descriptions, as it clarifies the parameter's purpose. Since there's only one parameter, the baseline is high, and the description fully addresses it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with 'Disable execution tracing,' which is a specific verb+resource combination. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'enable_trace' by indicating an opposite action, though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from all related tools like 'save_trace' or 'get_trace' beyond mentioning the latter. This makes it clear but not fully sibling-differentiated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by mentioning that 'The trace log is preserved for inspection via get_trace,' suggesting this tool is used to stop tracing while keeping logs accessible. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives like 'enable_trace' or 'save_trace,' and doesn't specify prerequisites or exclusions, leaving usage context somewhat inferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
disassembleA
Disassemble machine code into instructions using Capstone.
Args: arch: Architecture name (x86_32, x86_64, arm, arm64). data: Machine code as hex string or base64. address: Base address for disassembly. Default 0. encoding: "hex" (default) or "base64". count: Max instructions to disassemble. 0 = all.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| arch | Yes | ||
| data | Yes | ||
| address | No | ||
| encoding | No | hex | |
| count | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the tool uses Capstone and lists parameters, but doesn't describe what happens during disassembly (e.g., error handling for invalid input, performance characteristics, or what the output looks like). For a tool with no annotations and no output schema, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core purpose, followed by a structured list of parameters with clear explanations. Every sentence earns its place, with no redundant or verbose content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (disassembly tool with 5 parameters), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is moderately complete. It covers the purpose and parameters well, but lacks details on behavioral aspects (e.g., error handling, output format) and doesn't fully compensate for the missing annotations and output schema, leaving some contextual gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 provides meaningful explanations for all 5 parameters beyond their titles (e.g., 'arch' as architecture name with examples, 'data' as machine code in specific formats, 'count' as max instructions with '0 = all'). This adds substantial value over the bare schema, though it could include more details like valid architecture ranges or data format constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verb ('Disassemble') and resource ('machine code'), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'assemble' (which does the opposite operation). It explicitly mentions the technology used ('using Capstone'), making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use this tool (to convert machine code to instructions), but doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives. For example, it doesn't contrast with 'hexdump' (which might show raw bytes) or 'assemble' (the inverse operation), though the purpose is distinct enough to imply usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
emulateA
Run CPU emulation.
Must provide stop_address, count, or both to bound execution.
Args: session_id: The session ID. address: Address to begin execution. stop_address: Address to stop at (exclusive). count: Maximum instructions to execute (capped at 100,000). timeout_ms: Timeout in milliseconds (capped at 60,000).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| address | Yes | ||
| stop_address | No | ||
| count | No | ||
| timeout_ms | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It adds behavioral context: 'capped at 100,000' for count and 'capped at 60,000' for timeout_ms, which are useful constraints. However, it doesn't disclose other traits like whether it's read-only/destructive, error handling, or output format, leaving gaps for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the purpose, followed by a key constraint, then detailed parameter explanations. Each sentence adds value, with no redundancy. It could be slightly more concise by integrating the constraint into the purpose statement.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and 5 parameters, the description is moderately complete. It covers purpose, key constraints, and parameter semantics, but lacks details on behavioral aspects like side effects, error cases, or return values. For a tool with this complexity, more context on execution results would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 explains all 5 parameters in the 'Args' section, adding meaning beyond the schema by detailing constraints (e.g., caps on count and timeout_ms) and usage rules (e.g., stop_address is exclusive). This nearly compensates for the schema gap, but lacks format details for some params.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Run CPU emulation.' It specifies the action ('Run') and resource ('CPU emulation'), making it distinct from siblings like 'step' or 'create_emulator'. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from all siblings, such as 'create_emulator' or 'destroy_emulator', which are related but not identical.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides some usage guidance: 'Must provide stop_address, count, or both to bound execution.' This implies when to use parameters but doesn't specify when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'step' for single-step execution or 'create_emulator' for setup. No explicit exclusions or sibling comparisons are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
enable_traceB
Enable execution tracing.
Clears any existing trace log and starts recording.
Args: session_id: The session ID. max_entries: Maximum trace entries to record (default 10000).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| max_entries | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses key behavioral traits: it enables tracing, clears existing trace logs, and starts recording with a configurable maximum. However, it misses details like permissions needed, side effects on system performance, or what 'execution tracing' entails specifically.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the purpose, followed by behavioral details and parameter explanations. Every sentence adds value without waste, making it efficient and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, 0% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is moderately complete. It covers purpose, behavior, and parameters, but lacks details on return values, error conditions, or integration with sibling tools, leaving gaps for a mutation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 meaning by explaining that 'session_id' is for identifying the session and 'max_entries' sets a limit on trace entries with a default. This clarifies beyond the bare schema, though it could detail format or constraints more.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Enable') and resource ('execution tracing'), and it distinguishes from sibling 'disable_trace' by implication. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from other debugging tools like 'save_trace' or 'get_trace', keeping it from a perfect score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'disable_trace' or 'save_trace'. The description mentions clearing existing logs and starting recording, but lacks explicit context or prerequisites for usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
export_sessionB
Export full session state (memory, registers, breakpoints, symbols) to JSON.
Args: session_id: The session ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions the export action but lacks behavioral details: it doesn't specify if this is read-only or destructive, what permissions are needed, how large exports might be, or what happens on failure. The description adds minimal context beyond the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by a concise parameter section. Both sentences earn their place by providing essential information without fluff. Minor improvement could be integrating param details more seamlessly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and low schema coverage, the description is adequate but incomplete. It covers the purpose and parameter well, but lacks behavioral context (e.g., side effects, error handling) and output details. For a tool that exports session state, more guidance on usage and results would enhance completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates well: it explicitly documents the single parameter 'session_id' with a clear explanation ('The session ID'), adding meaning beyond the schema's bare title. Since there's only one parameter, this is sufficient for high clarity, though it could note format or source.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Export full session state') and the resource ('session state') with explicit details about what's included (memory, registers, breakpoints, symbols) and the output format (JSON). It effectively distinguishes from siblings like 'import_session' (reverse operation) and 'save_context' (different scope).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an active session), compare with similar tools like 'save_context' or 'save_trace', or indicate when exporting is appropriate (e.g., for backup, sharing). The agent must infer usage from context alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_registersB
Read one or more registers.
Args: session_id: The session ID. names: List of register names. Omit or pass null for all registers.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| names | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool reads registers, implying a read-only operation, but does not cover critical aspects like error handling (e.g., invalid session_id or register names), performance considerations (e.g., rate limits or latency), or output format (e.g., structured data or raw values). For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with a clear purpose statement, followed by concise parameter explanations. Every sentence earns its place: the first defines the tool, and the next two clarify parameters efficiently. There is no redundant or verbose content, making it easy to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (a read operation with optional filtering), no annotations, and no output schema, the description is partially complete. It covers the basic purpose and parameters but lacks details on behavior, output, error cases, and integration with siblings. For a tool in a debugging/emulation context with many related tools, more context would be beneficial to ensure correct usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 meaningful semantics: 'session_id: The session ID' clarifies it's an identifier for a session, and 'names: List of register names. Omit or pass null for all registers.' explains the parameter's purpose and default behavior. This goes beyond the schema's basic types, though it could detail register name formats or examples. With 0% coverage, this is strong but not exhaustive.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Read one or more registers.' It specifies the verb ('Read') and resource ('registers'), and the optional filtering by names distinguishes it from a simple 'get all registers' operation. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'set_registers' or 'save_context' beyond the verb 'Read', which is why it's not a 5.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions that omitting 'names' returns all registers, but does not explain contexts where filtering is beneficial, prerequisites like session validity, or comparisons to related tools such as 'get_stack' or 'save_context'. This lack of explicit usage advice limits its helpfulness.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_stackB
Read stack entries from the current stack pointer.
Resolves values against registered symbols.
Args: session_id: The session ID. count: Number of stack entries to read (default 16, max 256).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| count | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions reading stack entries and resolving values against symbols, which implies a read-only operation, but doesn't specify permissions, rate limits, error conditions, or what the output looks like (e.g., format, pagination). For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core purpose, the second adds important context (symbol resolution), and the Args section efficiently details parameters. Every sentence earns its place, with no wasted words, though the Args formatting could be slightly more integrated into the flow.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, 0% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is moderately complete. It covers the purpose and parameter semantics adequately but lacks behavioral details (e.g., output format, error handling) and usage guidelines. For a tool in a debugging context with many siblings, more context would help the agent use it correctly without trial and error.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 meaningful context for both parameters: session_id is implied as required for session identification, and count specifies default (16) and max (256) values, which aren't in the schema. This effectively documents key semantics beyond the bare schema, though it doesn't explain session_id's format or source.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Read stack entries from the current stack pointer. Resolves values against registered symbols.' This specifies the verb ('Read'), resource ('stack entries'), and scope ('current stack pointer'), distinguishing it from siblings like get_registers or read_memory. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from tools like get_trace or diff_trace that might involve stack data, leaving room for minor ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an active emulator session), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings like get_registers or read_memory. The only implicit context is the session_id parameter, but this doesn't constitute explicit usage guidelines.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_syscall_logB
Get recorded syscall invocations with pagination.
Args: session_id: The session ID. offset: Start index (default 0). limit: Max entries to return (default 100).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| offset | No | ||
| limit | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions pagination, which is useful, but fails to describe critical traits: whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires specific permissions, rate limits, or what the return format looks like (e.g., structured logs). For a tool with no annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core purpose, followed by a structured 'Args:' section. There is no wasted text, and each sentence earns its place by providing essential information concisely.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (a tool for retrieving syscall logs with pagination), no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral aspects (e.g., read-only nature, error handling), output format, and usage context. This leaves significant gaps for the agent to understand how to invoke and interpret results effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 meaningful semantics for all three parameters: 'session_id' is explained as 'The session ID', 'offset' as 'Start index (default 0)', and 'limit' as 'Max entries to return (default 100)'. This clarifies purpose and defaults beyond the bare schema, effectively compensating for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get recorded syscall invocations with pagination.' It specifies the verb ('Get') and resource ('recorded syscall invocations'), and mentions pagination as a key feature. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_trace' or 'diff_trace', which might also involve syscall data, leaving some ambiguity in sibling context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks context about prerequisites (e.g., needing an active session or enabled tracing), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings such as 'get_trace' or 'hook_syscall'. This absence leaves the agent without clear usage directives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_traceC
Get trace entries with pagination.
Each entry includes disassembled instruction details.
Args: session_id: The session ID. offset: Start index (default 0). limit: Max entries to return (default 100).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| offset | No | ||
| limit | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions pagination and that entries include 'disassembled instruction details,' which adds some behavioral context. However, it lacks critical details like whether this is a read-only operation, potential rate limits, error conditions, or the format of returned data. For a tool with no annotations, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured and concise, with a clear purpose statement followed by parameter explanations. Each sentence adds value without redundancy. However, the parameter section could be slightly more integrated into the flow, preventing a perfect score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (3 parameters, no annotations, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It lacks information on return values, error handling, and behavioral nuances like pagination mechanics or data format. For a tool in a debugging/emulation context with many siblings, more context is needed to ensure proper use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the schema provides no parameter descriptions. The description compensates by explaining each parameter: 'session_id: The session ID.', 'offset: Start index (default 0).', 'limit: Max entries to return (default 100).' This adds meaningful semantics beyond the schema, but it doesn't cover constraints or examples, keeping it at a baseline level.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get trace entries with pagination. Each entry includes disassembled instruction details.' It specifies the verb ('Get') and resource ('trace entries') with additional context about content. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'diff_trace' or 'save_trace', which prevents a perfect score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention sibling tools like 'diff_trace' (for comparing traces) or 'save_trace' (for exporting), nor does it specify prerequisites or contexts for usage. This leaves the agent without clear selection criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
hexdumpA
Formatted hex dump of memory.
Standard format: ADDR | 16 hex bytes (8+8) | ASCII. Max 4096 bytes.
Args: session_id: The session ID. address: Start address. size: Number of bytes to dump (default 256, max 4096).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| address | Yes | ||
| size | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses output format and size constraints (max 4096 bytes), but doesn't mention error conditions, performance characteristics, or what happens with invalid addresses/sessions. No contradiction 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely efficient structure: purpose statement, format details, size limit, then parameter documentation. Every sentence adds value with zero wasted words. Well front-loaded with core functionality.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a memory inspection tool with no annotations or output schema, the description covers basic functionality and parameters adequately. However, it lacks information about return format details beyond 'standard format', error handling, and how it relates to other memory tools in the sibling list.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description's 'Args' section fully documents all three parameters with clear semantics: session_id identifies the session, address is the start location, and size specifies bytes to dump with default and max values. This compensates well for the schema gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Formatted hex dump of memory' with specific format details. It distinguishes from siblings like read_memory by emphasizing the formatted output, but doesn't explicitly contrast with all memory-related tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for viewing formatted memory dumps, but doesn't explicitly state when to use this versus alternatives like read_memory or search_memory. No guidance on prerequisites or exclusions is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
hook_syscallA
Install a syscall hook to intercept system calls.
Modes: skip: Log the syscall and return default_return (continue execution). stop: Log the syscall and stop emulation.
Idempotent — replaces existing hook.
Args: session_id: The session ID. mode: Hook mode — "skip" (default) or "stop". default_return: Return value for skip mode (default 0).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| mode | No | skip | |
| default_return | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden and does well by disclosing key behavioral traits: it explains the two modes with their effects (log and return default_return vs. log and stop emulation), mentions idempotency ('replaces existing hook'), and implies mutation (installing a hook). However, it doesn't cover permissions, rate limits, 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is efficiently structured with clear sections (overview, modes, idempotency note, args), uses bullet-like formatting without markdown, and every sentence adds value. It's appropriately sized for a tool with three parameters and no annotations.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (mutation with parameters), no annotations, and no output schema, the description is nearly complete. It covers purpose, behavior, and parameters well, but lacks details on return values, error handling, or integration with sibling tools like 'get_syscall_log'. Still, it provides sufficient context for basic use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate fully. It successfully adds meaning beyond the bare schema by explaining all three parameters: 'session_id' (context), 'mode' (options and defaults with behavioral implications), and 'default_return' (purpose and default). This provides complete semantic understanding despite the schema's lack of descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Install a syscall hook to intercept system calls') and distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'unhook_syscall' and 'get_syscall_log'. It uses precise technical terminology that identifies both the verb (install/intercept) and resource (syscall hook).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage through the explanation of modes ('skip' and 'stop'), suggesting when each might be appropriate, but doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'unhook_syscall' or other debugging tools. No explicit 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.
import_sessionA
Import session state into a new session.
Creates a new session for the given architecture and restores state from export.
Args: arch: Architecture name (must match the exported state's arch). state: The state dict from export_session.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| arch | Yes | ||
| state | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool creates a new session and restores state, implying mutation, but lacks details on permissions, side effects (e.g., overwriting existing sessions), error handling, or rate limits. The description adds basic behavioral context but is insufficient for a mutation tool with no annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core purpose, followed by a brief elaboration and parameter details. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, and the structure is clear with a heading for args.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no output schema, and 2 parameters with 0% schema coverage, the description is moderately complete. It covers the tool's purpose, usage context, and parameter semantics adequately, but lacks details on behavioral aspects like error conditions or return values, which are important for a mutation tool in a debugging/session management context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 meaningful semantics for both parameters: 'arch' is explained as 'Architecture name (must match the exported state's arch)' and 'state' as 'The state dict from export_session'. This clarifies purpose and constraints beyond the bare schema, though it could include examples or format details for the state dict.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verbs ('import', 'creates', 'restores') and resources ('session state', 'new session', 'architecture'), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'export_session' by specifying it restores state from export. It explicitly mentions the relationship to 'export_session' for the state parameter.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use this tool: to create a new session and restore state from an export. It implies usage after 'export_session' by referencing 'state dict from export_session', but does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives among siblings like 'create_emulator' or 'restore_context', which could be relevant for session management.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_breakpointsC
List all breakpoints in the session.
Args: session_id: The session ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool lists breakpoints but doesn't describe what a breakpoint entails in this context, how results are returned (e.g., format, pagination), or any side effects (e.g., if it's read-only, requires specific permissions). This leaves significant gaps for a tool with no annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded, with the core purpose stated first in a single sentence, followed by parameter details. There's no unnecessary verbosity, though the structure could be slightly improved by integrating the 'Args' section more seamlessly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what breakpoints are in this context, how results are structured, or any behavioral traits (e.g., read-only nature, error conditions). For a tool with no structured data support, this leaves the agent under-informed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description includes an 'Args' section that documents the single parameter 'session_id', adding meaning beyond the input schema, which has 0% description coverage. However, it doesn't explain what a session ID is, how to obtain it, or its format, leaving some semantic gaps despite compensating for the low schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List all breakpoints') and the scope ('in the session'), which is a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_watchpoints' or 'list_symbols', which serve similar listing functions for different resource types.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an active session), exclusions, or comparisons to similar listing tools like 'list_watchpoints' or 'list_symbols', leaving the agent to infer usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_regionsC
List all mapped memory regions.
Args: session_id: The session ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the action ('List all mapped memory regions') but does not describe what the output looks like, whether it's paginated, if it requires specific permissions, or any side effects. This leaves significant gaps for a tool in a debugging context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded with the main purpose in the first sentence. The 'Args:' section is structured but could be integrated more smoothly. Overall, it avoids unnecessary verbosity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of debugging tools and the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, error conditions, or how it fits with siblings like 'memory_map'. More context is needed for effective use in this server environment.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 minimal value by explaining 'session_id' as 'The session ID', but this is basic and does not clarify format, source, or constraints. With 1 parameter and low coverage, more detail is needed to aid the agent.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('all mapped memory regions'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate this tool from sibling tools like 'memory_map' or 'hexdump', which might have overlapping functionality in a debugging/memory analysis context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. The description does not mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions, such as whether it requires an active session or how it differs from similar tools like 'memory_map' in the sibling list.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_symbolsC
List all symbols.
Args: session_id: The session ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the action ('List all symbols') without any details on permissions required, rate limits, output format, pagination, or whether it's read-only or has side effects. For a tool with no annotations, this is inadequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is brief and front-loaded with the main purpose. The 'Args' section is structured but could be more integrated. There's no wasted text, though it risks under-specification. It efficiently conveys the basics in two lines.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, 0% schema coverage, no output schema, and a simple tool with one parameter, the description is incomplete. It lacks context on what symbols are, how they relate to the session, what the output looks like, and behavioral traits. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to use the tool effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the schema provides no parameter descriptions. The description includes an 'Args' section that names 'session_id' but doesn't explain what a session ID is, how to obtain it, or its format. This adds minimal semantic value beyond the schema's title 'Session Id'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'List all symbols' which clearly indicates the verb (list) and resource (symbols). However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from sibling tools like 'list_breakpoints' or 'list_watchpoints' beyond the resource type, nor does it specify what kind of symbols (e.g., debug symbols, memory symbols) or from what context. The purpose is understandable but vague in scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an active session), exclusions, or related tools like 'add_symbol' or 'remove_symbol'. The agent must infer usage from the parameter 'session_id' and sibling names alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_watchpointsC
List all memory watchpoints.
Args: session_id: The session ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states it's a list operation (implied read-only) but doesn't cover critical aspects like permissions needed, rate limits, pagination, return format, or whether it's destructive to session state.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is brief and front-loaded with the core purpose. The Args section is structured but minimal. While efficient, it could be more informative without sacrificing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no annotations, no output schema, and low parameter coverage, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavior, output, error handling, and parameter semantics, making it inadequate for reliable agent use in a debugging context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only documents one parameter ('session_id') with minimal context ('The session ID'), failing to explain what a session ID is, how to obtain it, or its format. This leaves significant gaps for a required parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('all memory watchpoints'), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_breakpoints' or 'list_symbols', which follow the same pattern for different resource types.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. The description doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an active session), exclusions, or comparisons to similar tools like 'list_breakpoints' or 'get_trace'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
load_binaryA
Load binary data into the emulator.
Auto-maps memory, writes data, and optionally sets the program counter.
Args: session_id: The session ID. data: Binary data as hex string or base64. address: Destination address. entry_point: Optional address to set the PC to. encoding: "hex" (default) or "base64".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| data | Yes | ||
| address | Yes | ||
| entry_point | No | ||
| encoding | No | hex |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but offers limited behavioral insight. It mentions 'auto-maps memory' and 'writes data', indicating mutation operations, but doesn't disclose critical traits like side effects (e.g., memory overwrites), permission requirements, error conditions, or performance implications. The description is functional but lacks depth for a tool that modifies emulator state.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core purpose, followed by a bullet-point list of parameters with brief explanations. It avoids redundancy, though the parameter list could be integrated more seamlessly. Every sentence adds value, making it efficient for an AI to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (5 parameters, mutation behavior, no annotations, no output schema), the description is moderately complete. It covers purpose and parameters adequately but lacks details on behavioral outcomes (e.g., what 'auto-maps' entails, error responses, or side effects). For a state-modifying tool in an emulator context, more guidance on usage and effects would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 provides clear semantics for all 5 parameters: 'session_id' (session ID), 'data' (binary data as hex/base64), 'address' (destination), 'entry_point' (optional PC set), and 'encoding' (format). This adds essential meaning beyond the bare schema, though it could elaborate on address/entry_point formats (e.g., hexadecimal).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose with specific verbs ('load', 'auto-maps', 'writes', 'sets') and resources ('binary data', 'emulator', 'memory', 'program counter'). It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'load_executable', 'write_memory', and 'map_memory' by combining these operations into a single tool for binary data loading.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context through phrases like 'load binary data into the emulator' and 'optionally sets the program counter', suggesting it's for initializing or modifying emulator state. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives like 'load_executable' (for files) or 'write_memory' (for raw writes without auto-mapping). 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.
load_executableA
Load an executable binary (ELF, PE, or Mach-O) into the emulator.
Auto-detects format. Maps segments with correct permissions, sets PC to entry point, registers symbols.
Args: session_id: The session ID. data: Binary data as hex string or base64. base_address: Optional base address offset. Default 0. encoding: "hex" (default) or "base64".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| data | Yes | ||
| base_address | No | ||
| encoding | No | hex |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions behavioral aspects like auto-detecting format, mapping segments with permissions, setting PC to entry point, and registering symbols, which are useful. However, it lacks critical details such as error handling, performance implications, side effects on the emulator state, or whether this is a read-only or mutating operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by behavioral details and a well-structured parameter list. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, making it efficient and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of loading executables into an emulator, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is moderately complete. It covers the purpose, parameters, and some behavioral traits but lacks details on return values, error cases, and integration with sibling tools, leaving gaps for an AI agent to infer.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 provides clear semantics for all 4 parameters: 'session_id' (The session ID), 'data' (Binary data as hex string or base64), 'base_address' (Optional base address offset. Default 0), and 'encoding' ("hex" (default) or "base64"). This adds significant value beyond the bare schema, though it could include more detail on data formats or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('Load an executable binary') and the target resource ('into the emulator'), with explicit format support (ELF, PE, or Mach-O). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'load_binary' by specifying executable loading with auto-detection and setup features (maps segments, sets PC, registers symbols).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'load_binary' or 'map_memory'. The description implies usage for loading executables but does not specify prerequisites, exclusions, or contextual triggers for selection among similar tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
map_memoryB
Map a memory region in the emulator.
Size is rounded up to 4KB page alignment.
Args: session_id: The session ID. address: Start address (must be page-aligned, i.e. multiple of 0x1000). size: Region size in bytes. perms: Permission string combining 'r', 'w', 'x'. Default "rwx".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| address | Yes | ||
| size | Yes | ||
| perms | No | rwx |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that 'Size is rounded up to 4KB page alignment' and mentions address alignment requirements, which are useful behavioral traits. However, it lacks critical details: whether this is a destructive operation (likely yes, as it maps memory), what happens on failure, permissions implications, or interaction with other memory tools. The description adds some value but is incomplete for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the purpose, followed by key behavioral detail (size rounding), then parameter explanations. Each sentence earns its place, though the parameter section could be more integrated. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given complexity (memory mapping in an emulator), no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema coverage, the description is moderately complete. It covers purpose, key behavior, and parameter semantics, but lacks output details, error handling, and integration context with sibling tools. For a mutation tool with no structured support, it should do more to be fully helpful.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 provides meaningful semantics for all parameters: session_id (context), address (start address with alignment rule), size (region size with rounding behavior), and perms (permission string with default and format). This adds substantial value beyond the bare schema, though it could elaborate on perms values (e.g., valid combinations).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Map a memory region in the emulator.' It specifies the verb ('Map') and resource ('memory region'), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like read_memory, write_memory, and memory_map. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from memory_map, which could be confusing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention sibling tools like memory_map, read_memory, or write_memory, nor does it specify prerequisites (e.g., requiring an existing emulator session). Usage is implied only through parameter context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
memory_mapC
Produce a /proc/self/maps-style layout of the address space.
Shows regions with permissions, gaps, and symbol annotations.
Args: session_id: The session ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions what the output shows (regions, permissions, gaps, symbol annotations) but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like whether it's read-only, if it requires specific permissions, potential performance impact, or output format details. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence clearly states the purpose, followed by additional details and parameter documentation. There's no wasted text, though the parameter documentation could be more informative given the schema coverage gap.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (memory mapping tool with no annotations, 0% schema coverage, and no output schema), the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain the output format, how to interpret the layout, error conditions, or dependencies on other tools (e.g., requiring a session from 'create_emulator'). For a tool in a debugging/emulation context, this leaves too much unspecified.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description includes an 'Args:' section that documents the single parameter 'session_id', but with 0% schema description coverage, this adds minimal value beyond the schema's title 'Session Id'. It doesn't explain what a session_id is, how to obtain it, or its format, failing to compensate for the low schema coverage adequately.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Produce a /proc/self/maps-style layout of the address space' with specific details about what it shows (regions, permissions, gaps, symbol annotations). It uses a specific verb ('Produce') and resource ('layout of the address space'), but doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_regions' or 'hexdump', which might have overlapping functionality.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention sibling tools like 'list_regions' or 'hexdump' that might serve similar purposes, nor does it specify prerequisites or contexts for usage beyond the required session_id parameter.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
read_memoryC
Read data from emulator memory.
Args: session_id: The session ID. address: Source address. size: Number of bytes to read. encoding: "hex" (default) or "base64".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| address | Yes | ||
| size | Yes | ||
| encoding | No | hex |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but offers minimal behavioral insight. It states the action is reading, implying it's non-destructive, but doesn't cover critical aspects like error handling (e.g., invalid addresses), performance implications, session state requirements, or output format details. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand operational behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by a structured parameter list. It avoids unnecessary fluff, but the parameter explanations are minimal and could be more informative without sacrificing brevity. Overall, it's efficient but under-specified in content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (memory operations in an emulator context), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It misses essential context like what the output looks like (e.g., raw data or structured response), error conditions, dependencies on other tools (e.g., 'create_emulator'), and how it fits into broader workflows. This makes it inadequate for reliable agent use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate but only partially does. It lists parameters and provides a brief note on 'encoding' defaults, adding some meaning beyond the bare schema. However, it doesn't explain parameter interactions (e.g., how address and size relate to memory regions), units (e.g., bytes for size), or constraints (e.g., valid address ranges), leaving key semantics unclear.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Read data') and resource ('from emulator memory'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'write_memory' by specifying reading rather than writing, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with similar tools like 'search_memory' or 'diff_memory'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an active session), compare to siblings like 'search_memory' for pattern-based reading, or specify use cases like debugging or analysis. The description assumes context without providing it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
remove_breakpointC
Remove a breakpoint.
Args: session_id: The session ID. address: The breakpoint address to remove.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| address | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the action is 'Remove,' implying a destructive mutation, but lacks details on permissions needed, side effects (e.g., whether it affects debugging state), error conditions, or response format. This is inadequate for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is brief and front-loaded with the purpose, followed by parameter details. It avoids unnecessary words, though the parameter explanations could be more informative to improve utility without sacrificing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (a destructive operation with 2 parameters), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It misses critical details like behavioral traits (e.g., what happens on success/failure), parameter constraints, and usage context, making it insufficient for safe and effective tool invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 lists both parameters ('session_id' and 'address') with brief explanations, adding meaning beyond the bare schema. However, it does not clarify parameter formats (e.g., address as integer in hex or decimal) or constraints, leaving gaps in documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Remove') and target ('a breakpoint'), which is specific and unambiguous. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'remove_watchpoint' or 'remove_symbol', which perform similar removal operations on different debugging entities.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., an existing breakpoint to remove) or contrast with related tools like 'list_breakpoints' for checking breakpoints first, leaving usage context implied but unspecified.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
remove_symbolC
Remove a symbol.
Args: session_id: The session ID. name: The symbol name to remove.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| name | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. 'Remove a symbol' implies a destructive mutation, but it doesn't disclose behavioral traits like whether removal is permanent, requires specific permissions, affects related data, or what happens on success/failure. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded with the main purpose. The two-sentence structure is efficient, though the parameter explanations are minimal. There's no wasted text, but it could be more informative without sacrificing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (a destructive operation with 2 parameters), no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema description coverage, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain what 'remove' entails, the impact, return values, or error conditions, making it inadequate for safe and effective use by an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 lists parameters 'session_id' and 'name' with brief explanations, but these add minimal meaning beyond the schema's titles. It doesn't clarify what a 'symbol name' entails (e.g., format, scope) or how 'session_id' relates to the operation, leaving key semantics undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Remove a symbol' which is a tautology of the tool name 'remove_symbol'. It doesn't specify what type of symbol (e.g., debugging symbol, memory symbol) or from what context. Compared to sibling tools like 'add_symbol' or 'list_symbols', it doesn't differentiate its specific scope or resource beyond the basic verb.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing symbol to remove), when-not-to-use scenarios, or how it relates to sibling tools like 'add_symbol' or 'list_symbols'. The description lacks any contextual usage information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
remove_watchpointB
Remove a memory watchpoint.
Args: session_id: The session ID. address: The watchpoint address to remove.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| address | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool removes a watchpoint but doesn't clarify effects (e.g., whether removal is permanent, impacts on debugging sessions, or error handling). This leaves significant gaps for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by a concise parameter explanation. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, making it efficiently structured and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral outcomes (e.g., success/error responses), side effects, or integration with sibling tools like 'list_watchpoints', leaving the agent with insufficient context for reliable use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by explaining both parameters: 'session_id' as the session ID and 'address' as the watchpoint address to remove. This adds meaningful context beyond the schema's basic titles, though it doesn't detail format constraints (e.g., address integer range).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Remove') and resource ('a memory watchpoint'), making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes from siblings like 'remove_breakpoint' by specifying the watchpoint type, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with other removal tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'remove_breakpoint' or 'list_watchpoints'. The description lacks context about prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing watchpoint) or typical workflows, offering only basic parameter documentation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
restore_contextC
Restore registers from a previously saved snapshot.
Args: session_id: The session ID. label: The snapshot label to restore.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| label | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions restoring registers from a snapshot, implying mutation, but lacks details on permissions, side effects (e.g., overwriting current registers), or error handling. This is inadequate for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by parameter explanations. It's efficient with minimal waste, though the parameter section could be integrated more seamlessly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and low schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral traits, return values, error conditions, and how it interacts with siblings like 'save_context', making it insufficient for safe and effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the schema provides no parameter details. The description adds basic semantics for both parameters ('session_id' and 'label'), explaining they identify the session and snapshot. However, it doesn't specify format, constraints, or examples, leaving gaps in understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('restore registers') and resource ('from a previously saved snapshot'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'save_context' or 'get_registers', which would have earned a 5.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_registers' or 'set_registers', nor does it mention prerequisites such as needing a saved snapshot first. The description only states what it does, not when to apply it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
save_contextB
Save a register snapshot under a label.
Overwrites if the label already exists.
Args: session_id: The session ID. label: A name for this snapshot.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| label | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It adds useful context: it specifies that the tool saves a 'register snapshot' and that it 'overwrites if the label already exists,' which are important behavioral traits not implied by the name alone. However, it lacks details on permissions, side effects, or response format, leaving gaps for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core purpose, followed by a critical behavioral note and then parameter explanations. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, making it efficient and easy to parse for an agent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (a mutation tool with no annotations or output schema), the description is moderately complete. It covers the basic action and parameters but lacks details on error conditions, return values, or integration with sibling tools like 'restore_context'. For a tool that modifies state, more behavioral context would be beneficial to ensure correct usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the lack of parameter documentation in the schema. It adds meaning by explaining that 'session_id' is 'The session ID' and 'label' is 'A name for this snapshot,' which clarifies the purpose of each parameter beyond their titles. This is helpful, though it could provide more detail on format or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Save a register snapshot under a label.' It specifies the action (save) and resource (register snapshot), but does not explicitly differentiate it from sibling tools like 'snapshot_memory' or 'save_trace', which appear to be related to saving other types of data. This makes it clear but not fully distinct from alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions that it overwrites existing labels, which is a behavioral note, but does not indicate scenarios for use, prerequisites, or comparisons to sibling tools like 'restore_context' or 'snapshot_memory'. This leaves the agent without context for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
save_traceB
Save the current trace log under a label.
Overwrites if the label already exists.
Args: session_id: The session ID. label: A name for this saved trace.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| label | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool overwrites existing labels, which is a key behavioral trait. However, it lacks details on permissions, side effects (e.g., if this affects system state), error handling, or response format. The overwrite warning adds value but leaves other behaviors unspecified.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded, with the core purpose in the first sentence and critical behavior (overwrites) in the second. The Args section is structured but could be integrated more seamlessly. Overall, it's efficient with minimal waste, though slight refinement could improve flow.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 2 parameters with 0% schema coverage and no annotations or output schema, the description is moderately complete. It covers the basic action and overwrite behavior but lacks details on prerequisites, error cases, or what 'saving' entails (e.g., storage location, format). For a mutation tool with no structured support, it should provide more context to be fully adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 meaning by explaining that 'session_id' is for the session and 'label' is a name for the saved trace, which clarifies their roles beyond the schema's basic titles. However, it doesn't specify format constraints (e.g., label length) or examples, leaving some ambiguity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Save') and resource ('current trace log'), specifying it's saved under a label. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_trace' (retrieves) and 'diff_trace' (compares), but doesn't explicitly contrast with all sibling tools. The purpose is specific but could be more differentiated from tools like 'save_context' or 'export_session'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an active trace), exclusions, or comparisons to sibling tools like 'save_context' or 'export_session'. Usage is implied only by the action described, with no explicit context or alternatives provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search_memoryB
Search for a byte pattern in memory.
If address is None, searches all mapped regions.
Args: session_id: The session ID. pattern: Hex string of bytes to search for (e.g. "deadbeef"). address: Optional start address to limit search. size: Optional size of search range (required if address is set). max_results: Maximum matches to return (default 100).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| pattern | Yes | ||
| address | No | ||
| size | No | ||
| max_results | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the default for 'max_results' (100) and the conditional behavior with 'address' and 'size', but doesn't describe important traits like performance implications (e.g., search speed, memory usage), error handling, or what the return format looks like (e.g., list of addresses). For a tool with no annotation coverage, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured and appropriately sized. It starts with a clear purpose statement, followed by conditional behavior, then details each parameter in a bullet-like format. Every sentence adds value, with no redundant information. It could be slightly more concise by integrating the conditional logic into the parameter descriptions, but it's efficient overall.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (5 parameters, no annotations, no output schema), the description is moderately complete. It covers parameter semantics well and includes some behavioral context (defaults, conditionals). However, it lacks details on output format, error cases, or performance considerations, which are important for a search operation. This makes it adequate but with clear gaps for an agent to use it effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 provides meaningful semantics for all parameters: 'session_id' (The session ID), 'pattern' (Hex string of bytes to search for), 'address' (Optional start address to limit search), 'size' (Optional size of search range, required if address is set), and 'max_results' (Maximum matches to return with default 100). This adds significant value beyond the bare schema, though it could include examples for 'pattern' format beyond 'deadbeef'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Search for a byte pattern in memory.' It specifies the verb ('search') and resource ('byte pattern in memory'), which is specific and unambiguous. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'diff_memory' or 'read_memory', which prevents a perfect score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides implied usage guidance through conditional logic: 'If address is None, searches all mapped regions.' It also mentions that 'size' is 'required if address is set.' However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'diff_memory' or 'read_memory', and doesn't mention prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
set_registersC
Write one or more registers.
Args: session_id: The session ID. values: Dict mapping register names to integer values.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| values | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'Write one or more registers,' implying a mutation operation, but fails to disclose critical traits such as required permissions, whether the write is destructive or reversible, potential side effects (e.g., affecting emulator state), or error handling. This leaves significant gaps in understanding the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded with the main purpose in the first sentence, followed by structured parameter explanations. There is no unnecessary verbosity, and each sentence serves a clear purpose, though it could be slightly more informative without sacrificing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of a write operation with no annotations, no output schema, and low schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It does not cover behavioral aspects like side effects, error conditions, or return values, and the parameter semantics are basic. For a mutation tool in a debugging/emulation context, this leaves too many unknowns for reliable agent use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the schema provides no parameter descriptions. The description adds basic semantics by explaining 'session_id' as 'The session ID' and 'values' as 'Dict mapping register names to integer values,' which clarifies the purpose and structure of parameters. However, it lacks details like valid register names, value ranges, or examples, only partially compensating for the low schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Write' and the resource 'one or more registers', which is specific and actionable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_registers' or 'save_context', which also involve register operations, leaving room for improvement in sibling distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. For example, it does not mention when to choose 'set_registers' over 'save_context' or 'restore_context' for managing register states, nor does it specify prerequisites like needing an active session. This lack of context makes it challenging for an agent to select the appropriate tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
snapshot_memoryB
Save a snapshot of all mapped memory under a label.
Overwrites if the label already exists.
Args: session_id: The session ID. label: A name for this memory snapshot.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| label | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the overwrite behavior ('Overwrites if the label already exists'), which is useful. However, it lacks details on permissions, side effects, error conditions, or what the snapshot includes beyond 'all mapped memory', leaving gaps for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by key behavioral note and parameter explanations in a structured 'Args:' section. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, making it efficient and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is moderately complete for a 2-parameter mutation tool. It covers the action and overwrite behavior but lacks details on return values, error handling, or integration with sibling tools, leaving room for improvement in context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 explains both parameters: 'session_id' as 'The session ID' and 'label' as 'A name for this memory snapshot', adding basic meaning. However, it doesn't specify formats, constraints, or examples, which could improve clarity for the 2 required parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Save a snapshot') and resource ('all mapped memory'), making the purpose understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'save_context' or 'save_trace' by specifying memory content, though it could be more explicit about what 'mapped memory' entails compared to other memory-related tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'save_context' or 'export_session'. The description mentions overwriting behavior but doesn't explain prerequisites, such as needing an active session or mapped memory, or when this is preferred over other save/export options.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
stepC
Execute a single instruction.
If address is omitted, execution starts at the current program counter.
Args: session_id: The session ID. address: Optional start address. Defaults to current PC.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| address | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions execution behavior but lacks critical details: what happens after the step (e.g., state changes, side effects), whether it's safe or destructive, permissions needed, or rate limits. This is inadequate for a tool that likely modifies session state.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately sized and front-loaded with the core purpose. The Args section is structured but slightly verbose; every sentence earns its place, making it efficient overall.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, 0% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks behavioral context (e.g., what 'execute' entails, side effects), output details, and differentiation from siblings, making it insufficient for a likely state-modifying tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does 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 explains both parameters: 'session_id' as 'The session ID' and 'address' as 'Optional start address. Defaults to current PC.' This adds clear meaning beyond the bare schema, covering semantics effectively.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the tool 'Execute[s] a single instruction,' which is a clear verb+action. However, it doesn't specify what kind of instruction (e.g., CPU, debugging) or differentiate from siblings like 'emulate' or 'disassemble,' leaving the purpose somewhat vague.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'emulate' or 'disassemble.' It mentions that execution starts at the current program counter if address is omitted, but this is a parameter detail, not usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
unhook_syscallC
Remove the syscall hook.
Args: session_id: The session ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description lacks behavioral details. It doesn't specify if this is destructive, requires specific permissions, affects system state, or has side effects like stopping tracing. The minimal description fails to compensate for missing annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is brief but under-specified, with two sentences that lack depth. While not verbose, it misses essential details, making it inefficient rather than concise. The structure includes an 'Args' section but adds little content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, 0% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't cover behavioral traits, parameter context, or expected outcomes, leaving significant gaps for a tool that likely modifies system state.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must add parameter meaning. It only lists 'session_id' without explaining what it is, how to obtain it, or its role in the removal process, providing minimal value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Remove') and the resource ('syscall hook'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'hook_syscall' beyond the opposite action, missing explicit comparison.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 is provided. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., a syscall hook must exist) or context for removal, leaving usage unclear beyond the basic action.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
write_memoryC
Write data to emulator memory.
Args: session_id: The session ID. address: Destination address. data: Data as hex string (e.g. "90c3") or base64. encoding: "hex" (default) or "base64".
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_id | Yes | ||
| address | Yes | ||
| data | Yes | ||
| encoding | No | hex |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states the action ('Write data to emulator memory') but doesn't describe what happens after writing: whether it overwrites existing data, if there are memory protection restrictions, what the return value indicates, or potential side effects. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral questions unanswered.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is efficiently structured with a clear purpose statement followed by parameter explanations. Every sentence serves a purpose: the first states the tool's function, the subsequent lines clarify parameter formats and options. However, the 'Args:' section formatting could be more integrated with the natural language description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with 4 parameters, 0% schema description coverage, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It covers data format details but misses critical context: what constitutes a valid session_id, address space limitations, error conditions, what happens on successful write, and how this differs from other memory manipulation tools. The agent lacks sufficient information to use this tool confidently.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the schema provides no parameter documentation. The description adds value by explaining 'data' accepts hex or base64 strings with examples, and 'encoding' has two possible values with a default. However, it doesn't explain 'session_id' (what constitutes a valid session) or 'address' (address space constraints, alignment requirements), leaving half the parameters inadequately documented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Write' and resource 'emulator memory', making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'read_memory' and 'diff_memory' by specifying a write operation. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with all potential siblings like 'map_memory' or 'snapshot_memory' which also involve memory operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites like needing an active emulator session, nor does it contrast with similar tools like 'map_memory' or 'snapshot_memory'. The agent must infer usage from the tool name and parameter names alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
TDQS
Most tools have distinct purposes, but some overlap exists: 'hexdump' and 'read_memory' both retrieve memory data, and 'list_breakpoints'/'list_watchpoints'/'list_symbols' are similar listing operations. Descriptions help clarify differences, but an agent might occasionally misselect between closely related tools.
Tool names follow a highly consistent verb_noun pattern throughout (e.g., 'add_breakpoint', 'create_emulator', 'get_registers'). All names use snake_case with clear, descriptive verbs, making the set predictable and easy to navigate.
With 41 tools, the count is excessive for a CPU emulation server. While the domain is complex, many tools could be consolidated (e.g., multiple listing tools) or omitted without losing core functionality, leading to potential confusion and inefficiency for agents.
The toolset provides comprehensive coverage for CPU emulation, including session management, memory operations, debugging (breakpoints/watchpoints), tracing, syscall handling, and state import/export. All essential CRUD and lifecycle operations are present, with no obvious gaps in the domain.
