Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a unique and clear purpose: complete, create, delete, get, list lists, list reminders, and update. No overlap or ambiguity.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., complete_reminder, list_reminders), making them predictable and easy to understand.
Tool Count5/57 tools is well-scoped for a reminders server, covering all essential CRUD operations plus list management without unnecessary bloat.
Completeness5/5The set provides full lifecycle management for reminders: create, read, update (including complete/reopen), delete, and list. It also includes list listing, which is necessary for context.
Average 4/5 across 7 of 7 tools scored. Lowest: 3.4/5.

How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.
How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and open-world hint. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond 'VTODO' type. No disclosure of side effects or auth requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise: two sentences, front-loaded with action, no unnecessary words. Efficiently delivers key parameter notes.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 6 parameters, a required parameter, and an output schema (unknown), the description is too brief. It lacks context on what a reminder is, how to use other parameters, or response details. Incomplete for a creation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains 'list' and 'due' meaningfully but omits descriptions for 'url', 'notes', 'priority', and 'title'. Partial coverage (2 of 6 parameters) rescues from lower score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (create) and resource (reminder, VTODO). It distinguishes from sibling tools (complete, delete, get, lists, update) by being the creation tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives a guideline for the 'list' parameter (required unless one exists) but does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance compared to alternatives. Usage is implied but not elaborated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Beyond annotations (idempotentHint=true, readOnlyHint=false), the description adds specific state changes (STATUS, PERCENT-COMPLETE), though it does not detail other behavioral aspects like side effects on related items.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with essential details front-loaded. The parenthetical addition adds precise status changes without extra verbiage. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adquate for a simple write operation with output schema present, but lacks parameter explanations and usage guidance. With only 2 params and 0% schema coverage, more parameter context would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, but the description provides no explanation of the 'uid' and 'list' parameters. The agent cannot infer the meaning or required format from the description alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: 'Mark a reminder complete' with specific status fields (STATUS:COMPLETED, PERCENT-COMPLETE:100), distinguishing it from siblings like update_reminder which would modify other fields.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implied usage for completing reminders, but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs siblings like update_reminder or delete_reminder. Does not mention prerequisites or when not to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds that the list parameter is optional for scoping, which provides some behavioral context beyond the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no wasted words, front-loading the core action and key parameter.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the output schema covers return values, the description adequately defines purpose and parameter roles. However, it could briefly note that 'uid' must be unique and contrast with 'list_reminders' for completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It clarifies 'uid' as the identifier and 'list' as optional scoping, but lacks details on format or allowed values.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Fetch' and identifies the resource 'reminder' with its key 'uid', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'list_reminders' which fetches multiple reminders.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when a single reminder is needed by uid, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like 'list_reminders' for multiple reminders.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Describes permanent deletion and gating conditions, which go beyond annotations that already indicate destructiveHint=true. Adds context about the required server setting and confirmation flag.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no wasted words, front-loaded with purpose. Highly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers gating and confirm requirement but lacks parameter descriptions. Output schema exists but not referenced. Adequate but not fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Only mentions confirm parameter in description; uid and list are not described. With 0% schema coverage, description should compensate more.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'Permanently delete a reminder' with specific resource and verb. No ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Specifies two explicit conditions: server flag REMINDERS_ALLOW_DELETE=true and confirm=true argument. Does not explicitly mention when not to use, but conditions serve as clear guidelines.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint and openWorldHint. The description adds concrete behavioral details: default ordering, default filtering (incomplete only), pagination via limit/offset with total and truncated flag, and date format requirements. Minor omission: no mention of error handling or empty results.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: two sentences plus parameter details. Every word adds value, with purpose front-loaded. No extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema (total and truncated flag mentioned), the description covers key aspects: ordering, filtering, pagination, date formats. Minor gap: does not specify default limit value or explain behavior for duplicate due dates. Still adequate for a list tool with 6 parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by explaining the list parameter (accepts list_id or display name), due date parameters (ISO-8601), and pagination (limit/offset). However, the completed parameter is only indirectly described via 'Defaults to incomplete only' and limit's default value is not restated.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists reminders and specifies ordering (earliest-due first, undated last) and default filtering (incomplete only). It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_reminder (single reminder) and list_lists (lists).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies this tool is for listing multiple reminders but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives like get_reminder or list_lists. No when-not or alternative tool mentions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and idempotency (idempotentHint=true). The description adds valuable behavioral details: ETag optimistic concurrency, retries on conflict, and the patch semantics of leaving omitted/null fields unchanged.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three concise sentences. First states purpose, second clarifies clearing and completion, third mentions concurrency. No unnecessary words, well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 8 parameters and an output schema, the description covers key aspects: partial update, clearing, completion toggle, and concurrency. It omits explanation of the 'list' parameter but overall provides sufficient context for a patch tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema coverage, the description compensates by explaining clearing fields with empty strings for notes, due, url, and setting completed to true/false. However, it does not cover all 8 parameters (e.g., title, priority, list).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool patches mutable fields of a reminder, preserving others. It differentiates from sibling tools like create_reminder and delete_reminder, and clarifies that it can also set completed, overlapping with complete_reminder but explaining the scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly specify when to use this tool versus alternatives like complete_reminder. It implies usage for partial updates but lacks direct guidance on selection based on operation scope.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only and open-world behavior. The description adds value by detailing the exact fields returned (list_id, list_name, URL, item count), providing transparency beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no wasted words. The purpose is front-loaded, and the second sentence adds necessary detail about the output structure.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given zero parameters and the presence of an output schema, the description fully covers what the tool does and what it returns. No gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters; schema coverage is 100% (no params). The description appropriately focuses on output, earning the baseline score of 4 for parameter-less tools.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the action (list) and resource (iCloud reminder lists/VTODO collections). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like list_reminders by specifying the resource type.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implicitly clear when to use: to get the list of reminder collections. No explicit exclusions or alternatives, but given the tool's simplicity and zero parameters, this is adequate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
