Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.2.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct resource or action: searching smallcases, getting details, comparing, listing managers, checking rebalance schedules, and searching assets or collections. No two tools have overlapping functionality.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (e.g., search_smallcases, get_smallcase, list_managers). The naming is uniform and predictable.
Tool Count5/5With 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for exploring smallcase investments. Each tool serves a clear purpose without being excessive or insufficient.
Completeness4/5The set covers searching, viewing details, comparing, and listing related entities. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no historical performance chart tool, and holdings are gated), but the surface is largely complete for a public catalog.
Average 3.9/5 across 8 of 8 tools scored. Lowest: 3.3/5.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.
How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It states 'compare' but does not clarify whether the operation is read-only, safe, or requires any authentication. No mention of side effects or return format.
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 short and front-loaded with the core purpose in a single sentence, followed by a clear parameter explanation. Every word earns its place, though the SCID example could be integrated more efficiently.
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 tool has no output schema, yet the description does not describe the format of the comparison results. While it mentions 'returns, risk, minimum investment', it lacks details on how the output is structured (e.g., table, JSON). This is a significant gap for a comparison tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains 'scids' as a list of 2-5 SCIDs with an example, adding meaning beyond the bare 'array of strings' type. However, it does not define what a SCID is or where to obtain them.
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 compares 2-5 smallcases side by side, specifying metrics (returns, risk, minimum investment) and the number of smallcases. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_smallcase (single smallcase) or search_smallcases (searching).
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 use for comparing multiple smallcases but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like search_smallcases or get_smallcase. No guidance on prerequisites or when to avoid this tool.
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 exist, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only describes parameters and their constraints (page 1-based, page_size 1-50) but does not mention pagination behavior, rate limits, ordering, or error conditions. Critical details are missing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: a single sentence for purpose, followed by a clear 'Args' block. Every part is necessary, and it is front-loaded with the main purpose.
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 low complexity (2 optional params), the description lacks output details. Since no output schema is provided, the agent does not know the response structure (e.g., list of managers, pagination metadata). This limits the tool's completeness.
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 schema has 0% description coverage, but the description adds essential semantics: page is 1-based and page_size has a 1-50 range. This meaningfully supplements the schema definitions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists smallcase publishers/managers (research houses). It is specific about the resource and action, distinguishing it from sibling tools that deal with smallcases, stocks, or funds.
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 its siblings (e.g., search_smallcases, get_smallcase). The description simply states what it does without indicating when it is appropriate or not.
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 full burden but only states it retrieves data. No disclosure of read-only nature, latency, auth requirements, or 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?
Description is very concise with no extra words. Uses an Args section for clarity. Every sentence contributes value.
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 low complexity (single param, no output schema), description covers purpose and parameter but lacks any information about return format or fields. Could be more complete on output expectations.
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?
Schema coverage is 0%, but the description adds a clear example ('SCET_0005') for the scid parameter, explaining its meaning and format. This significantly aids 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 it provides rebalance cadence and last/next rebalance dates for a smallcase. It distinguishes from sibling tools like search_smallcases and get_smallcase by specifying the exact information returned.
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 given on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_smallcase or compare_smallcases. The description does not mention prerequisites 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?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It does not reveal behavioral traits such as whether the search is read-only, requires authentication, or any side effects. Only the case-insensitive matching and limit range 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is brief and front-loaded with the purpose, followed by concise parameter explanations. Every sentence adds value, with no fluff or 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?
For a simple search tool with two parameters and no output schema, the description covers purpose and parameter meanings adequately. However, it omits details about the response structure (e.g., fields returned) and any pagination beyond the limit parameter, which an agent might need for complete understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds significant meaning: it explains that 'query' matches case-insensitively on name/AMC/category with examples, and defines 'limit' as max results with a range. This compensates well for the schema's lack of 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 action 'Search', the resource 'mutual funds', and the context 'in smallcase's public universe'. It is specific and distinct from sibling tools like search_smallcases and search_stocks.
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 does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the purpose implies it is for mutual funds, there is no mention of scenarios or limitations compared to sibling search tools.
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 disclose behavioral traits. It states 'list' which implies read-only, but does not explicitly confirm safety, auth requirements, or side effects. The return format and pagination are also not mentioned.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: two sentences for purpose and brief Args definitions. No unnecessary words; every sentence adds value.
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 purpose and parameters but lacks details about the return value format (e.g., what fields each collection has) and any ordering or default behavior. Since no output schema exists, this information would be helpful for completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description's Args section fully explains the parameters: 'query' is case-insensitive match on name/description, 'limit' is max results 1-50. This provides clear meaning beyond the bare schema types.
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 'List curated smallcase collections (themed groupings of smallcases)' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like 'search_smallcases' by focusing on collections rather than individual smallcases.
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 the tool is used to list themed collections, but it does not explicitly compare with alternatives or provide when-to-use/when-not-to-use guidance. The sibling list is present but not referenced.
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 fully convey behavioral traits. It states case-insensitive matching on name/ticker/sector and a limit range (1-50), but does not mention whether the tool is read-only, authentication needs, or rate limits. For a search tool, this is adequate but not exhaustive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, using a clear 'Args' format with no extraneous words. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the tool's purpose and parameter semantics well. It lacks return value details, but for a search tool, the implied result list is reasonable. Slightly more context on expected output would elevate completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description explains both parameters: query (case-insensitive match on name/ticker/sector) and limit (max results 1-50). This adds significant meaning beyond the plain schema.
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 'Search stocks in smallcase's public universe', specifying the verb (search) and resource (stocks). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like search_smallcases and search_mutual_funds.
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 provides examples ('HDFC', 'bank') and mentions case-insensitive matching, implying usage context. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or alternatives.
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, so description carries full burden. Discloses that holdings/weights are gated and returns empty, which is important. Does not mention auth or error states, but adequate for a read-only tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, first states purpose, second lists contents. No redundant words; front-loaded.
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?
Covers key return fields (returns, risk metrics, min investment, index value) and notes holdings/weights emptiness. Without output schema, this is sufficient context, though could mention if response is paginated or has limits.
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?
Schema has no description for the single parameter; description provides example format ('SCET_0005') and explains it is a SCID, adding semantic value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it retrieves full public detail for one smallcase by SCID, and lists specific fields returned. Differentiates from sibling tools like search_smallcases and compare_smallcases.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implicitly guides use via the name and description, but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use statements. The mention of holdings being empty is a useful caveat.
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 explains the return shape and parameter effects (e.g., include_private default behavior). It does not mention rate limits or side effects, but for a search tool, this is acceptable.
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 well-structured: a concise purpose statement followed by a bulleted list of parameter details. 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.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (7 parameters, no output schema), the description covers all return fields and parameter options. It also explains the behavior of include_private and the default sort. There is no missing critical information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does 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 thorough explanations for all 7 parameters, including valid values (e.g., volatility: low/medium/high), examples (e.g., query: 'gold'), and default behaviors (sort: popularity).
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 'Search / screen published smallcases from the public catalog,' using a specific verb+resource. It also lists the return fields, making it distinct from siblings like get_smallcase (specific smallcase) and compare_smallcases (comparison).
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 usage for searching/screening and contrasts with sibling tools. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or provide direct alternatives. The context is clear but lacks exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
