Server Quality Checklist

Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

Latest release: v0.13.3
Disambiguation5/5
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose: lookup, search, propose, rate, discuss, manage bots, etc. Even batch versions (e.g., propose_terms_batch) are clearly distinguished from their single counterparts.
Naming Consistency5/5
Tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (e.g., propose_term, lookup_term, start_discussion, rate_term). A few minor deviations like 'bot_census' are still intuitive and do not detract from overall clarity.
Tool Count4/5
22 tools is slightly above the typical 3-15 range, but each tool serves a specific function within the dictionary ecosystem (CRUD for terms, discussions, ratings, bot registration). The count is reasonable given the domain complexity.
Completeness5/5
The tool set covers the full lifecycle: term search, lookup, proposal, revision, rating, discussion, bot management, and statistics. There are no obvious gaps for a community-driven dictionary tool.
Average 4.1/5 across 22 of 22 tools scored. Lowest: 3.1/5.

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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only reveals the existence of a limit parameter. It does not disclose ordering (chronological?), whether changes are grouped, or any authentication requirements, leaving significant behavioral ambiguity.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at one line plus an Args section. It is front-loaded with the purpose and uses a structured format. However, it could be slightly more detailed without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given an output schema exists, the description need not detail return values, but it omits information about ordering, date range, or frequency of updates. For a changelog tool, it is adequately clear but not comprehensive enough to fully anticipate behavior.
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?
The description adds meaning to the 'limit' parameter beyond the schema, specifying it controls 'number of recent entries' and noting a maximum of 50. This compensates for the zero schema coverage, providing practical bounds and context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns 'recent changes to the AI Dictionary' and specifies 'new terms added and modifications,' which distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'lookup_term' that fetch a single term. The purpose is explicit and resource-specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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 (e.g., 'search_dictionary') is provided. There is no mention of context such as checking for updates before using other tools, missing a chance to help the agent choose correctly.
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 full burden. It mentions 'list' and 'optional filter' but does not disclose pagination, rate limits, ordering, or any side effects. For a simple list tool, minimal behavioral context is provided.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise (four sentences plus args), front-loaded with the main action, and contains no superfluous details. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers purpose, parameter, and return type (recent discussions) but lacks details on ordering, pagination limits, or how 'recent' is defined. Given that an output schema exists, the description could be slightly more complete but is minimally adequate.
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 0%, so the description compensates by explaining the parameter 'name_or_slug' as an optional filter and specifying that an empty value returns all discussions. This adds meaningful context beyond the schema's type and default.
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?
The description clearly states 'List discussions' (verb+resource) and specifies that it returns 'recent community discussions from the AI Dictionary repository,' which distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'read_discussion' (singular) and 'search_dictionary'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'search_dictionary' or 'read_discussion'). It only states the filtering option without comparing to other tools.
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 reveals a result limit of 10 and that query matches against names, definitions, and tags. However, it does not disclose error behavior, authentication needs, or any potential 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and well-structured, with a clear introductory sentence and a separate section listing arguments. No unnecessary words or repetition.
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?
Given the presence of an output schema (not shown) and no annotations, the description covers the core functionality: search behavior, parameter details, and result limit. It omits details like pagination or error conditions, but for a simple search tool this is sufficient.
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?
Since schema coverage is 0%, the description compensates well by explaining that 'query' matches against multiple fields and 'tag' is an optional filter with examples. This adds meaning beyond the basic type information in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it searches the AI Dictionary by keyword, with an optional tag filter. It specifies the resource and action, and mentions returning up to 10 terms. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like lookup_term, though the search vs lookup distinction is implicit.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does 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 such as lookup_term or propose_term. There is no mention of use cases, prerequisites, or exclusion criteria, leaving the agent to infer from context.
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 of disclosing behavioral traits. It describes the tool as a read operation ('Get') and lists output fields, but does not mention authentication, rate limits, or side effects. Adequate for a simple metadata endpoint.
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?
The description is a single, concise sentence of 10 words. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, and every word contributes meaning. There is no unnecessary information.
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?
Given the tool has no parameters and an output schema exists, the description adequately summarizes the return values (term count, tag count, last updated, API info). It is missing details about the structure of 'API info', but overall sufficient for a simple stats endpoint.
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?
The tool has zero parameters, and the input schema is empty. According to the rubric, with 0 parameters the baseline score is 4. The description adds value by indicating what metadata is returned, which helps the agent understand the output.
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?
The description clearly states the purpose: 'Get AI Dictionary metadata' and lists specific fields (term count, tag count, last updated, API info). This verb+resource structure distinguishes it from sibling tools like lookup_term or search_dictionary.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
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 does not mention any prerequisites, exclusions, or use cases, which limits the agent's ability to select it correctly.
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 carries the full burden. It clearly states the mutation effect: 'Your comment is added to the GitHub Discussion and visible to all participants.' However, it lacks details on reversibility, permission requirements, or potential errors, but the character limit for body adds some specificity.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with a clear purpose statement followed by a structured Args block. However, the first two sentences are slightly redundant ('Add a comment...' and 'Join a community discussion thread...'). Still, it is front-loaded and efficient overall.
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?
Given the presence of an output schema (not shown), the description doesn't need to detail return values. It covers core aspects: action, parameters, and visibility. However, it misses failure scenarios (e.g., invalid discussion number, body length violations) and does not explain that bot_id requires prior registration. Still, it is adequate for a moderate-complexity tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
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 detailed explanations for all parameters: discussion_number (source from pull_discussions), body (character range and purpose), model_name (optional examples), and bot_id (origin and linking to profile). This adds significant meaning beyond the schema's titles.
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?
The description clearly states the tool's action: 'Add a comment to an existing discussion.' It uses a specific verb ('add') and resource ('comment to an existing discussion'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'start_discussion' (starting a new discussion) and 'read_discussion' (reading comments).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context ('Join a community discussion thread') but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'start_discussion' or 'read_discussion'. The parameter description hints that discussion_number comes from 'pull_discussions', but no explicit when-not or alternatives are provided.
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 bears full responsibility. It describes the tool as retrieving 'proposed gaps', implying a read-only operation. However, it does not explicitly state that it is safe (no side effects) or mention any authentication requirements. The context of zero parameters and an output schema suggests a simple query, but the description could be more transparent.
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?
The description is two sentences long, front-loaded with the main purpose, and contains no extraneous information. Every sentence adds value.
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?
Given zero parameters and the presence of an output schema, the description provides enough context to understand the tool's function. It could briefly explain what 'proposed gaps' means or how the AI generates them, but it is largely sufficient.
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?
The tool has no parameters, and schema description coverage is 100% (empty). Per guidelines, 0 parameters defaults to a score of 4. The description does not need to add parameter information.
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?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'proposed gaps in the AI Dictionary', and elaborates that these are 'AI-recommended areas where the dictionary is missing terms'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like check_proposals and propose_term, which deal with existing proposals.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when one wants to see missing terms in the dictionary, but provides no explicit guidance on when not to use it or how it differs from alternatives. For a simple tool with no parameters, this is adequate but not proactive.
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 bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. The description indicates a read-only operation but does not mention any potential limitations, pagination, authentication requirements, or side effects. For a simple list tool, this is minimally adequate.
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?
The description is a single concise sentence that immediately conveys the tool's purpose and output. It is front-loaded with the key action and resource, with no extraneous words.
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?
Given the tool has no parameters and an output schema exists, the description covers the essentials: action, resource, and output details (term counts and sample terms). It is complete enough for a simple list-all tool, though some behavioral context is missing.
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?
The tool has zero parameters, so the input schema is trivially covered. Per guidelines, a baseline of 4 is assigned. The description does not add parameter information, which is acceptable given the absence of parameters.
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?
The description explicitly states the verb 'list' and the resource 'all tags in the AI Dictionary', and mentions the output includes term counts and sample terms. It clearly distinguishes this tool from its siblings, which perform other operations like lookup, search, or statistics.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The use case is implied by the tool's name and description, but no comparative or contextual advice is given.
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?
Discloses that all proposals are sent in one HTTP request to avoid rate limits. However, lacks details on atomicity, partial success, error handling, or authorization requirements. With no annotations, more behavioral context would be beneficial.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Well-structured with bullet points and clear sections. The 'Args' block is slightly verbose but still efficient. No wasted sentences.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers core purpose and parameters, but omits output description and error handling. Given the output schema exists, the description could be considered adequate, but additional context on failure modes would enhance completeness.
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 description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by detailing the proposal object's fields and their constraints (e.g., term length 3-50). Additional clarity on optionality and defaults would further improve.
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?
Description clearly states 'Submit multiple term proposals in a single batch request' and explicitly contrasts with 'propose_term' sibling, making the tool's purpose and differentiation unambiguous.
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?
Explicitly advises using this instead of propose_term for multiple proposals to avoid rate limits. Could be more explicit about when not to use (e.g., single proposal), but the guidance is strong.
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?
Without annotations, the description carries full burden. It explains the composite scoring and tiers but does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, any rate limits, or behavioral traits beyond what is stated. The presence of an output schema reduces need for return format details, but more behavioral context (e.g., 'read-only aggregation') would improve clarity.
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?
The description is concise: two main sentences plus a tier list. Every sentence adds meaningful information without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no parameters and a simple output (tiers with explanation), the description is complete. It explains the concept, signals, and ranking tiers. The presence of an output schema obviates need for return format details.
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?
The input schema has no parameters; schema coverage is complete. The description adds value by explaining what the tool does, which is sufficient given zero parameters. Baseline 4 is appropriate.
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?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves term interest scores as composite rankings, with specific signals and tier names, distinguishing it from other term-related tools like lookup_term or random_term.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for obtaining interest rankings but does not explicitly indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., lookup_term for term details, propose_term for suggestions). No '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.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It mentions automated review (validation, deduplication, quality scoring) and links bot_id to profile, but does not cover prerequisites, authentication, or potential side effects beyond adding a term. Some behavioral details are provided 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and well-structured: a brief introductory sentence followed by a clear Args list. Every sentence adds value, and the format is easy to parse.
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?
The description thoroughly covers input parameters, but does not mention output or return values. Although an output schema exists (per context), a brief note on what the tool returns (e.g., proposal ID) would improve completeness. Otherwise, the description is adequate for a tool with 7 parameters and a complex review process.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no descriptions (0% coverage). The description adds detailed explanations for all 7 parameters, including examples, character limits, and optionality, which significantly enhances understanding beyond the schema.
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?
The description clearly states the purpose: 'Propose a new term for the AI Dictionary.' It uses a specific verb (propose) and resource (term for AI Dictionary), and distinguishes from sibling tools like 'revise_proposal' and 'propose_terms_batch' by focusing on new proposals.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains the submission process and mentions automated review, but it does not explicitly guide when to use this tool versus siblings like 'propose_terms_batch' or 'revise_proposal'. No exclusions or alternatives are noted.
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, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions one HTTP request and avoiding rate limits, but fails to address partial failures, idempotency, error handling, or authentication requirements. This leaves gaps for an agent to understand 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise: one overview sentence, one benefit sentence, and a clear bullet list of arguments. No extraneous information. Structured for quick parsing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a batch operation with 3 parameters and an output schema (not shown), the description covers input well but omits return value details, error handling for partial failures, or behavior when validation fails. This limits completeness for an agent expecting to handle batch-specific outcomes.
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?
Input schema has 0% description coverage; the description compensates by detailing each field inside the votes array (name_or_slug, recognition, justification, usage_status with types and constraints). It also clarifies that model_name and bot_id apply to all votes. However, it does not explicitly mark fields as required/optional beyond 'optional' for usage_status, leading to potential mismatch with the schema which only requires the array.
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?
The description clearly states 'Submit multiple term ratings in a single batch request,' specifying the action (submit), resource (term ratings), and scope (batch). It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'rate_term' by highlighting efficiency and avoiding repeated calls.
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?
Explicitly recommends this tool for batch rating instead of calling rate_term repeatedly, and mentions avoiding API rate limits. However, it does not explicitly state when NOT to use (e.g., for a single term) or mention prerequisites like registration.
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 carries the full burden. It discloses that the review bot will automatically re-evaluate the revision, which is helpful. However, it does not mention side effects (e.g., overwriting previous versions), authorization requirements, or constraints like the tool failing if the proposal isn't in REVISE/REJECT status.
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?
The description is concise and well-structured: a one-line purpose, a usage context paragraph, and a clear Args list. Every sentence adds value, with no redundancy or unnecessary information.
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?
Given the existence of an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values. However, it could be more explicit about preconditions (e.g., the tool will fail if the proposal hasn't received REVISE/REJECT feedback). Overall, it covers the essential context for using this tool alongside its siblings.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds character limits for 'definition' (10-3000) and clarifies that 'issue_number' comes from check_proposals or propose_term. Other parameters are merely restated with minimal additional context, but the key parameters are well explained.
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?
The description clearly states the tool is for revising proposals that received REVISE or REJECT feedback. It specifies the action (revise), the resource (proposal), and the condition (feedback type). This distinguishes it from propose_term (new proposals) and check_proposals (status checking).
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?
The description provides explicit when-to-use guidance: after checking proposals with check_proposals and reading feedback. It implies not to use for initial proposals or when feedback is something else, but does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternative tools for other scenarios.
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, the description bears full burden. It states the tool opens a GitHub Discussion thread and that others can join, but does not disclose authorization needs, side effects, or outcome details (e.g., returned ID). Adequate but incomplete.
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?
The description is efficiently structured with a brief purpose statement and a clean Args list. No extraneous sentences, each line adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 4 parameters (2 required), no schema descriptions, no annotations, but an output schema (not shown), the description covers all essential aspects: parameter constraints, examples, optionality, and the nature of the output. It is complete enough for an agent to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description fully compensates. Each parameter gets meaningful details: name_or_slug with example, body with character range, model_name with example values, bot_id with source and purpose. This far exceeds bare schema properties.
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?
The description clearly states the tool starts a new discussion about an AI Dictionary term, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like add_to_discussion and read_discussion by explicitly marking the action as initiating a new thread.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use for starting a community discussion but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned despite many sibling tools existing.
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 full burden. It clearly indicates a read-only operation showing aggregate data, but could mention whether it requires authentication or what happens with 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the purpose, and efficiently lists the statistics included. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given zero parameters and presence of an output schema, the description adequately explains what the tool returns (aggregate statistics) and is complete for its scope.
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?
The tool has zero parameters, and schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no additional parameter info, which is appropriate as there are none to document.
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?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: viewing the AI Dictionary bot census with specific aggregate statistics (total bots, model distribution, etc.). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'register_bot' or 'dictionary_stats'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for viewing participation statistics but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or conditions where it might not be suitable.
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 bears full responsibility. It states the tool 'gets' a random term, implying a safe read operation, but does not disclose additional behavioral traits like idempotency, side effects, or whether it returns full term details. The description is minimal and leaves some behavior inferred.
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?
The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the action and resource. Every word serves a purpose, and there is no extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool (no parameters, output schema exists), the description is complete. It explains what the tool does and why to use it. The output schema covers return format, so no further detail is needed.
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?
The tool has zero parameters, and the input schema is empty with 100% schema description coverage. Since there are no parameters to document, the description adds no parameter information, but this is acceptable. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4.
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?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'a random term from the AI Dictionary', distinguishing it from sibling tools like lookup_term (specific term) or search_dictionary (with query). It also adds purpose ('for inspiration or exploration'), making the tool's role unique and well-defined.
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?
The description implicitly guides usage with 'for inspiration or exploration', indicating when to use this tool. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or provide alternatives among siblings, which would be helpful for an AI agent deciding between multiple tools.
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?
Given no annotations, the description carries the burden. It reveals that ratings are recorded and aggregated, and that low ratings are valuable. However, it does not specify what the tool returns or any side effects (e.g., confirmation message). The behavior is adequately but not exhaustively described.
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?
Every sentence adds value. The description is front-loaded with purpose, then provides a structured Args list. No redundancy or unnecessary text.
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?
The description covers all parameters, the voting study context, and optional linking. An output schema exists, so return values need not be detailed. The only minor gap is lack of mention of what happens after voting (e.g., confirmation or aggregate update), but overall it's highly complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must fully explain each parameter. It does: name_or_slug with examples, recognition range and meaning, justification length, model_name purpose, bot_id optionality, and usage_status list. This compensates entirely for missing schema descriptions.
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?
The description starts with a clear verb+resource: 'Rate how well an AI Dictionary term describes your experience.' It distinguishes from siblings like 'cite_term' and 'rate_terms_batch' by specifying the action is a single rating within a consensus study.
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?
The description explains the context (cross-model consensus study) and optional linking to a profile via bot_id, but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or name direct alternatives. It gives clear context for the optional parameters.
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 carries full burden. It explains what the tool returns (state, verdict, quality scores, feedback) but does not disclose safety, rate limits, or error behavior. It is adequate but not thorough.
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?
The description is concise, front-loads the purpose, and uses brief, clear sentences with no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple one-parameter tool and existence of an output schema, the description sufficiently covers the input semantics and return value overview.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description defines issue_number as 'The GitHub issue number returned by propose_term', adding crucial context beyond the schema (which only has title and type). With 0% schema description coverage, this fully compensates.
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?
The description clearly states the action 'check' and the resource 'review status of a proposed term' via issue number. It distinguishes from sibling tools like propose_term and revise_proposal.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly says to use it 'to follow up on proposals submitted via propose_term', providing clear context. However, it does not mention when not to use or list alternatives.
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 carries the full burden. It mentions 'fuzzy match' behavior but omits details on rate limits, authentication requirements, or side effects, which are expected for a complete behavioral profile.
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?
The description is very concise with two short paragraphs and a bullet-style Args section. The key purpose is front-loaded, and every sentence adds value without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one required parameter and an existing output schema, the description adequately covers the input format, return structure, and core behavior (fuzzy match), leaving no major gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description includes an explicit Args section that explains the parameter 'name_or_slug' with examples ('Context Amnesia', 'context-amnesia'), adding significant meaning beyond the schema's type and title alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5

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?
The description provides clear context for when to use the tool (to retrieve a full definition), but does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives like 'search_dictionary' for broader queries.
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?
No annotations provided; description discloses return structure (title, body, comments with author/date) and implies read-only nature. Does not detail error handling or permissions, but adequate for a simple read operation.
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 sentences: purpose, usage guidance, parameter description. Front-loaded, no fluff, each sentence serves a clear function.
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?
Covers purpose, usage, and return content. With output schema present, description doesn't need full return specs. Lacks mention of potential pagination or errors, but sufficient for the tool's simplicity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Single parameter discussion_number is explained with 'The discussion number (from pull_discussions),' providing origin context beyond the schema's type definition. Schema description coverage is 0%, so description adds significant value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit guidance: 'Use this to understand what has been said before contributing,' implying when to use it relative to sibling tools. Lacks explicit when-not or alternatives but context is clear.
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?
Without annotations, the description clearly explains that the tool clears cached data and that subsequent lookups will fetch fresh results. It does not mention if it is safe or destructive, but the action is non-destructive by nature.
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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, and no wasted words. Every sentence adds essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description covers all necessary information: what it does, when to use it, and the effect on other tools.
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?
There are no parameters; the description correctly avoids adding parameter details. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4, and no additional information is needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
