Idempotent

Selects a wiki for subsequent tool calls. Use before interacting with a non-default wiki; returns the wiki's sitename and server URL.

Instructions

Selects the wiki to use for subsequent tool calls in this session. Required before interacting with a wiki that is not the configured default; the active wiki is consulted by every page, file, search, and history tool. Returns the new active wiki's sitename and server URL.

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true. The description adds that it sets session state affecting subsequent calls and returns the new active wiki info. No contradictions, but could mention it doesn't modify data.

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, no wasted words. Each sentence adds valuable 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?

For a simple 1-param tool with no output schema, the description covers purpose, when to use, and return value. Fully sufficient given complexity.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema has 100% coverage with a clear description for the 'uri' parameter. The main description does not repeat parameter details, but the schema does it well. Baseline 3 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's action ('Selects the wiki'), resource ('for subsequent tool calls'), and necessity ('Required before interacting with a non-default wiki'). It distinguishes from siblings like add-wiki and remove-wiki.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly tells when to use ('Required before interacting with a non-default wiki') and that the active wiki is consulted by many tools. Also notes the return value (sitename and server URL), providing clear context.

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