Driver inventory

driver_inventory
Read-onlyIdempotent

Lists installed Windows drivers for allowlisted device classes with provider, version, date, INF, and signature status; query DISPLAY for GPU driver version and date.

Instructions

Installed drivers (name, provider, version, date, INF, signed) for the allowlisted device classes DISPLAY, SYSTEM, SCSIADAPTER, HDC, NET, MEDIA. Use ['DISPLAY'] for the GPU driver version and date. Any other class is rejected.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {},
    "name": "driver_inventory"
  }
}

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, closed-world, non-destructive behavior, so the description's job is to add context. It does: the class allowlist and the fact that out-of-scope classes are rejected rather than silently ignored is real behavioral information an agent needs.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences: scope first, the high-value DISPLAY shortcut second, the failure mode last. No filler and no repetition of the schema's default note.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return structure needn't be explained, and the description covers the only parameter's semantics and constraints. Minor gap: it doesn't say whether devices outside the listed classes are omitted from results versus causing an error, which an agent may want to know before filtering.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and already documents the default-to-all behavior, so the baseline is 3. The description still adds value by binding a specific parameter value ('DISPLAY') to a concrete outcome (GPU version and date) and clarifying rejection semantics for unlisted classes.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific resource (installed drivers) plus the exact fields returned (name, provider, version, date, INF, signed) and the scope (allowlisted device classes). The explicit allowlist and the DISPLAY callout make it distinguishable from siblings like dxdiag_summary or system_info.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives a concrete usage rule: use ['DISPLAY'] to get the GPU driver version and date, and states that any other class is rejected. It does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools (e.g., when to prefer dxdiag_summary), so the alternative-selection guidance is incomplete.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
