Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct resource (snippet, folder, tag) and action (create, list, get, update). No two tools have overlapping purposes; list_snippets and get_snippet are clearly differentiated by search/list vs single-fetch by ID.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent snake_case pattern of masscode_<verb>_<noun>, with verbs limited to create, list, get, and update. The naming is uniform and predictable.
Tool Count5/5Eight tools is an appropriate size for a snippet management server. Each tool serves a clear function and covers the main resources without unnecessary bloat or missing essentials.
Completeness3/5The set provides create, read, and update for snippets, but lacks delete operations for snippets, folders, and tags. Folders and tags only support create and list, leaving update and delete holes. These are notable gaps for a comprehensive snippet management tool.
Average 3.6/5 across 8 of 8 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden. It states the mutation ('Create a new tag') but does not disclose whether duplicate tags are allowed, whether authentication is required, or what the tool returns (e.g., the created tag object).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately concise for a one-parameter tool, though slightly under-specified in content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple create operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally viable. However, it lacks expected context such as result behavior, uniqueness constraints, or relationship to snippets, leaving gaps.
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?
The input schema provides 100% coverage: the only parameter 'name' is described as 'Tag name'. The description adds no additional semantic meaning, but per the baseline for high schema coverage, this is adequate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('a new tag'), making the tool's purpose obvious. It is distinguishable from sibling tools because 'tag' is explicitly named, though it does not contrast itself with create_snippet or create_folder.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as masscode_create_folder or masscode_create_snippet. There are no prerequisites, exclusions, or contextual hints.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden for behavioral transparency. It merely states the creation action without disclosing side effects, permissions, or response behavior. No details about nesting or error conditions are mentioned.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that immediately conveys the purpose without any fluff. However, it lacks additional context that could enhance usefulness, making it appropriately brief but not exemplary.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple and the schema documents parameters well, but the description omits guidance on usage context and return behavior. For a create operation with no output schema, this is a minor gap, so the description is adequate but not fully complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already provides descriptions for both parameters (name: 'Folder name', parentId: 'Parent folder ID for nesting'). The tool description adds no additional parameter meaning, so the baseline of 3 applies.
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 'Create a new snippet folder' uses a specific verb (Create) and resource (snippet folder), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_tag and create_snippet. It unambiguously states 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.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. It only describes the operation itself, leaving the agent without direction on selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. 'Create a new snippet' reveals that it performs a write operation but provides no additional behavioral context, such as idempotency, required permissions, response format, or side effects. This is a minimal level of disclosure, insufficient for a tool with no annotation support.
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, direct sentence. Every word is meaningful, and there is no redundancy or unnecessary elaboration. It is appropriately concise and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the 6 parameters and the nested 'content' structure, the schema provides thorough field-level guidance. However, the description lacks information about behavioral outcomes (e.g., return value, effects on tags/folders) and any usage conditions. It is minimally complete but leaves some gaps, especially since there is no output schema to clarify the response.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with each property already having a clear description in the input schema. The tool description adds no parameter-level information, but since the schema is comprehensive, the baseline of 3 applies. The description does not need to repeat schema details.
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 specific action and resource: 'Create a new snippet in MassCode.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like update_snippet, list_snippets, and create_tag/create_folder. The verb 'Create' and direct object 'snippet' make 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.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context: you use this tool when creating a new snippet, as opposed to updating or retrieving one. However, it does not explicitly state when to choose this over alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites (e.g., existing folders or tags). This is adequate but leaves room for clarification.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only mentions search/filter capability but does not state that this is a read-only operation, what the return format is, pagination behavior, or any side effects.
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 sentence that conveys the core purpose and optional filters with no redundancy. It is front-loaded and 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?
For a simple list tool with low complexity and full schema coverage, this is a minimally viable description. However, it lacks explicit mention of return behavior or read-only nature, which would be expected for full 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?
The schema already provides 100% parameter descriptions, so the baseline is 3. The description merely restates the optional filter parameters without adding extra syntax, defaults, or relationships beyond what the schema already covers.
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 ('Search or list') and resource ('snippets from MassCode'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like masscode_get_snippet (single snippet) and folder/tag listing tools.
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 as a search/list tool with optional filters, but does not explicitly state when to prefer this over masscode_get_snippet or other alternatives. No exclusions or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description carries the full burden since no annotations are provided. It merely states the action and resource without revealing any behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, response shape, sorting, or side effects. Even as a read-only list operation, no additional context is given.
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 sentence with no redundancy or wasted words. It is front-loaded and immediately conveys the tool's core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has no parameters and no output schema, the description 'List all tags' is sufficiently complete. It covers the action, resource, and scope, providing the agent all necessary information to invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters, so there is no parameter information to convey. The baseline for 0 params is 4, and the description does not need to compensate for missing parameter documentation.
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 'List all tags in MassCode' uses a specific verb ('List'), identifies the exact resource ('tags'), and states the scope ('all'). This clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like masscode_list_snippets and masscode_list_folders, which operate on different resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies usage for retrieving tags, but it does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or when another tool (e.g., masscode_create_tag) should be preferred.
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?
No annotations exist, so the description carries the burden. It discloses that all content fragments are returned, but doesn't explicitly state read-only nature or error behavior. The word 'Get' implies non-destructive operation, but more context could be provided.
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, front-loaded sentence with no redundant words. It efficiently conveys the tool's purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple getter with one parameter and no output schema, the description is reasonably complete: it specifies the resource and what is included. It lacks explicit mention of error handling or alternative tools, but the simplicity reduces the need for more.
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?
The schema already describes the id parameter fully (100% coverage), and the description only repeats 'by its ID' without adding further semantics. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the description doesn't enhance parameter understanding.
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 gets a single snippet by ID with all content fragments, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_snippets and create_snippet by focusing on single retrieval.
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?
Usage is implied: use when you have a snippet ID and need the full snippet. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with list_snippets or mention when not to use it, so guidance is limited to implication.
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?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It conveys a read-only behavior through the verb 'List' and adds a structural detail ('as a tree structure'), but it does not explicitly state that it is non-mutating, whether authentication is required, or what the exact response shape is. This is adequate for a simple list operation but lacks depth.
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 sentence of eight words, front-loaded with the action and fully informative. Every word earns its place with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the core purpose and hints at the return format via 'as a tree structure'. It does not explain whether the tree includes nested folders, sorting, or metadata, but for a simple listing tool this is reasonably complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters, so there is no ambiguity. The description adds no parameter information because none exists. Per the rubric, a zero-parameter tool gets a baseline score of 4, and the description does not detract from this.
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 a specific verb 'List' and a clear resource 'snippet folders', with the additional scoping detail 'as a tree structure' that distinguishes it from sibling tools like masscode_create_folder (which creates a folder) and masscode_list_snippets (which lists snippets, not folders).
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—it is for retrieving a hierarchical view of all folders—but it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives such as masscode_create_folder or masscode_list_snippets. The context is clear enough for a simple listing tool, but no exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
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 key behavioral trait of partial updates (only specified fields change), which goes beyond a simple 'update' verb. It does not detail error handling or permissions, but the partial update behavior is important and clearly stated.
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, clear sentence that conveys the core purpose and a crucial usage detail. Every word earns its place with no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the primary actions but lacks context on return values, error behavior (e.g., if ID does not exist), and whether at least one field to change is required. Given the absence of annotations and output schema, the description is adequate but leaves some gaps.
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 only 20% (only id has a description). The description compensates somewhat by explaining partial update semantics, which gives meaning to all optional fields, but it does not describe individual parameters beyond their names. The parameter names are fairly self-explanatory, so some meaning is conveyed.
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 identifies the operation as updating an existing snippet by ID, using the specific verb 'Update' and the resource 'existing snippet by ID'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_snippet, get_snippet, and list_snippets.
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?
Provides explicit guidance on partial update semantics with 'Only provide fields you want to change.' This clearly indicates the intended usage pattern and what fields are optional, though it does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
