Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.3.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of Android device interaction: drawing conversion, UI hierarchy, text estimation, activity info, input simulation, logcat management, and screenshot capture. No two tools overlap in purpose.
Naming Consistency4/5Most tools follow a verb-noun pattern (e.g., dump-ui-hierarchy, inject-input), but 'convert-svg-to-android-drawable' breaks this pattern with a longer descriptive phrase. Overall, the naming is still readable and predictable.
Tool Count5/5Seven tools cover the essential aspects of Android device testing and automation without being overwhelming. The count is well-scoped for the toolkit's purpose.
Completeness3/5The toolkit covers core UI testing operations (hierarchy, input, screenshot, logcat) but lacks tools for app management, clipboard access, or device configuration. The inclusion of SVG conversion and text length estimation adds niche functionality, but common tasks like UI element querying (beyond typing coordinates) are missing.
Average 3.4/5 across 7 of 7 tools scored.

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?
With no annotations, the description bears full burden. It only states the action but does not disclose side effects, permissions, or if the UI is disrupted. No mention of requirements like accessibility service.
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?
Single sentence with no extraneous words. Could benefit from slight structural expansion but is efficient.
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?
Given the simplicity (one optional param, no output schema), the description is too minimal. It omits what the XML contains, return format, or any limitations, leaving gaps for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a well-described timeout parameter (default, min, max). The description adds nothing beyond the schema, leaving baseline at 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Capture', the resource 'current UI hierarchy', and the format 'XML', using 'uiautomator'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get-current-activity' (activity vs hierarchy) and 'take-screenshot' (visual vs structural).
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 (e.g., when to dump hierarchy vs take a screenshot or get current activity). Missing information about preconditions or context.
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 must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'inspect' and 'dumpsys window' but does not state side effects (likely none), read-only nature, permission requirements, or reliability. The agent cannot infer if this is safe or non-destructive.
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 sentence, front-loading the purpose efficiently. However, it omits necessary usage guidance and behavioral details, which reduces its completeness while maintaining conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description provides the core function but lacks usage context and behavioral transparency. It is minimally adequate but leaves gaps for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%; the schema already describes timeoutMs with default, min, max. The description adds no parameter information beyond what the schema provides, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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 inspects the current focused app/window using 'dumpsys window'. The verb 'inspect' and resource 'current focused app/window' are specific. Sibling tools cover different functionalities (e.g., dump-ui-hierarchy gives UI tree), so this tool is well-differentiated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like dump-ui-hierarchy. The description does not specify prerequisites, typical use cases, or situations where this tool is preferable. The agent lacks 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.
- 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 fails to mention file overwrite behavior, permission requirements, error handling, or what happens on timeout. The minimal description omits critical behavioral traits.
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 captures the essential action and result without any extraneous words. It is optimally concise.
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?
Despite few parameters and no output schema, the description lacks critical context such as file overwrite policy, timeout behavior, and return value expectation. The tool's behavior is under-described, leaving gaps for agent decision-making.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so all parameters are described in the schema. The description adds no additional semantic meaning beyond what the schema already provides, leading to a baseline 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 ('Capture device screenshot') and the output ('save to a local file'), making the tool's purpose unambiguous. It effectively distinguishes this tool from its siblings, which deal with UI hierarchy, input injection, and other device operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor are there prerequisites or context about typical use cases. The description solely states what the tool does without any usage advice.
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 full burden. It only states 'simulate user input interactions' without disclosing potential side effects, state changes, or behavior like whether input is injected into the active app or system wide. The description lacks key behavioral details.
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 sentence that concisely lists the main types of input. It is front-loaded with the core purpose. However, it could be slightly more structured by separating the command list from the UI element click capability.
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?
Given the tool has 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too brief. It does not explain return values, error cases, timing behavior, or how element-based clicking works. For a complex input simulation tool, more context is needed.
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 has 100% coverage with descriptions for each parameter, so the description adds minimal additional meaning. The schema already explains the 'command' enum and the optional parameters 'args', 'elementId', 'elementText', and 'timeoutMs'. The description does not further clarify parameter usage.
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 simulates various input types like tap, text, swipe, keyevents, and click by UI element. It is specific about the actions and differentiates from sibling tools like 'dump-ui-hierarchy' or 'take-screenshot'.
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 lists available commands but provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, or when not to use it. There is no mention of prerequisites or context for each command type.
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 must carry the full burden. It hints at different behaviors (reading vs clearing) but does not disclose side effects (e.g., clearing buffers loses data) or performance implications. For a tool with multiple actions, more transparency is needed.
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?
A single, well-formed sentence that front-loads the purpose and lists capabilities concisely. No wasted words.
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 moderate complexity (7 parameters, multiple actions) and no output schema, the description should explain what the tool returns (e.g., log text, crash dump). It does not, leaving the return format unclear.
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 has 100% description coverage for all 7 parameters. The description adds no further parameter-specific context beyond 'log management', so a baseline of 3 is appropriate.
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 ('manage logs') and explicitly lists distinct capabilities ('read logs, capture crashes, check ANRs, and clear buffers'). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools which focus on UI hierarchy, screenshots, etc.
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 is the go-to tool for all log-related tasks ('Unified tool') but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives or mention any exclusion criteria. Sibling tools are different domains, so no conflict, but guidance is minimal.
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 provided; the description mentions conversion and optional disk write, but does not detail caching, precision, tint, or error handling. Schema covers parameters but tool behavior beyond that is not disclosed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence of 16 words, efficient and front-loaded with the action. No unnecessary words.
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 8 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not clarify what the tool returns (e.g., XML string) when no output path is given, nor error conditions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema parameter descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool converts SVG markup or files into Android VectorDrawable XML, with an optional disk write. The verb and resource are specific, and no sibling tools overlap.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, but sibling tools are unrelated, so differentiation is not critical. The description could mention caching or precision settings but does not.
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 are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It discloses that it compares lengths and flags risk based on tolerance, but does not explicitly state that it is a read-only operation or describe any side effects. This is adequate but not comprehensive.
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 efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and key configurable parameter. No wasted words, and the most important information is front-loaded.
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?
The description lacks information about the output format or return value, which is significant since no output schema exists. For a tool with low complexity, the description should at least hint at what is returned (e.g., a boolean, percentage, or risk flag). This gap reduces 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 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters well. The description adds marginal value by mentioning the default tolerancePercent, but does not provide additional semantics beyond what the schema offers. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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's purpose: 'compare original and translated text lengths to detect layout risk'. It uses a specific verb ('compare') and resource ('text lengths'), and is distinct from sibling tools which are unrelated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use (for layout risk detection), but does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternatives. However, given the context, usage context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
