Arcane MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v2.1.0
- Disambiguation2/5
Many tools have overlapping purposes, especially in image update checking (e.g., arcane_image_check_update, arcane_image_update_check, arcane_image_update_check_all, etc.) and container lifecycle management (start, stop, restart, redeploy, update). This creates ambiguity for an agent selecting the right tool.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent pattern: 'arcane_' + category (e.g., 'apikey', 'auth', 'build') + verb (e.g., 'create', 'list', 'delete'). The naming is uniform, using lowercase with underscores throughout.
Tool Count1/5With 180 tools, the server is drastically over-scoped. Even for a comprehensive Docker management interface, many tools are redundant or overly granular, making the surface unwieldy and hard to navigate.
Completeness4/5The tool set covers a wide range of Docker management operations (CRUD for containers, images, volumes, networks, projects, etc.) with additional features like vulnerability scanning, GitOps, and backups. Minor gaps exist (e.g., missing update for some resources), but the overall coverage is thorough.
Average 3.4/5 across 180 of 180 tools scored. Lowest: 2.6/5.

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?
The description does not disclose side effects, such as whether the container starts immediately or remains stopped, or whether it replaces existing containers. Annotations (readOnlyHint=false) indicate mutation, but no additional behavioral insights are given.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is highly concise (one sentence), but it achieves conciseness at the expense of informative content. It is not an efficient use of space for the complexity involved.
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 complexity (9 parameters, nested objects, many sibling tools), the description is severely incomplete. It omits return values, failure modes, and usage context, which are critical for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Although schema coverage is 100%, the description adds no value beyond the parameter descriptions. For a complex tool with 9 parameters, a summary or example would improve usability.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a new Docker container' is specific with a verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like delete, get, list, etc. However, it lacks additional context about the type of container or scope.
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, prerequisites (e.g., image existence), or typical workflow. The description assumes the agent knows the 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?
Annotations confirm it's a non-destructive, idempotent write. The description adds no further behavioral context (e.g., whether settings are merged or replaced). Does not contradict annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise (one sentence) but overly terse. It lacks structure and does not front-load key information beyond the basic action.
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?
No output schema and no details on behavior (e.g., merge vs. replace). Given the tool updates settings, more context is needed for complete agent understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides ('key-value pairs'). It fails to elaborate on the scope or format of the settings.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose3/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Update environment settings', which is a clear verb+resource but lacks specificity. It does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'arcane_environment_update' or specify what type of settings.
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. The description provides no context about prerequisites or when not to use it, leaving the agent with no decision support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description labels the operation as '[HIGH RISK]' implying destructive consequences, yet annotations set 'destructiveHint: false', creating a direct contradiction. No further behavioral details are provided, such as impact on system availability, rollback capabilities, or required permissions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is a single sentence, which is concise but too minimal. It only includes the risk label and vague action, failing to justify its brevity with necessary detail.
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?
For a high-risk, state-changing operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description lacks essential context: no mention of what triggers the upgrade, expected outcomes, error states, or what 'system upgrade' entails. Incomplete for safe and correct invocation.
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 describes 'environmentId' as 'Environment ID' with 100% coverage. Description adds no additional meaning or context beyond the schema, 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.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description states 'Perform an Arcane system upgrade', which is a specific verb and resource, but does not differentiate from siblings like 'arcane_system_check_upgrade' or 'arcane_updater_run'. The term 'system upgrade' is ambiguous regarding scope (global vs per-environment), and the presence of 'environmentId' param adds confusion.
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. Does not mention prerequisites, such as checking for upgrade availability via 'arcane_system_check_upgrade', or warn against concurrent upgrades. Lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use information.
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?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false (write operation) and destructiveHint=false. The description merely restates the action. It does not disclose potential errors (e.g., duplicate username), side effects, or any behavior beyond the basic create action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks structure. It is not front-loaded with key information and provides no additional context. Acceptable but not exemplary.
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 creates an entity, the description omits important context: uniqueness of username, default role behavior, success response (likely returns the created user), and whether the password is stored securely. The output schema is absent, increasing the need for description to cover return value.
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% and each parameter has a description in the schema. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond what is already in the input schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and resource ('new user'), distinguishing it from siblings like arcane_user_update, arcane_user_delete, etc. However, it lacks any specificity beyond the name and schema, such as what 'creating a user' entails or constraints.
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., arcane_user_update, arcane_apikey_create). An agent would have to infer from context, and there is no mention of prerequisites or limitations.
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?
Annotations already indicate a non-readonly, non-destructive mutation. The description adds no further behavioral context (e.g., whether the key is returned, security implications, or idempotency).
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 brief and to the point, with no extraneous information. However, it is so minimal that it could be considered under-specified for a useful tool definition.
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?
For a simple create tool, the description omits important context such as whether the API key is returned in the response, any rate limits, or post-creation steps (e.g., secure storage).
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 descriptions for all 3 parameters. The description does not add anything beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Create' and the resource 'API key'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like delete and list, but lacks additional differentiating context such as scope or prerequisites.
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. No mention of prerequisites, required permissions, or conditions under which creation is appropriate.
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?
Annotations already indicate the tool is not read-only (write operation) and not destructive. The description adds no behavioral context beyond stating the action. Missing details such as whether the tool fails if the environment already exists, what permissions are required, or what the response looks like.
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 with no unnecessary words, front-loading the action. However, it could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness, such as hinting at required fields or typical use cases.
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?
For a creation tool with 3 parameters, no output schema, and many sibling environment tools, the description lacks completeness. It does not mention what constitutes a valid environment, uniqueness constraints, or the result of creation. More context is needed for sufficient guidance.
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 covers all 3 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), so the schema already provides the necessary meaning. The description does not add any extra context for parameters like apiUrl or tlsEnabled beyond what is in the schema, but no additional information is needed given the schema's completeness.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb ('Create') and resource ('a new Docker environment'). It is specific enough to distinguish from other creation tools (e.g., container, network) in the sibling list. However, it does not explain what an environment conceptually represents in Arcane, leaving minor ambiguity.
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 vs alternatives such as environment_update, environment_pair_agent, or other creation tools. There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., Docker host availability) or scenarios where this tool should be avoided.
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?
Annotations do not mark it as read-only, but the description implies a non-destructive test. No further details about side effects, required permissions, or whether it modifies state are provided.
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?
A single, concise sentence that fits the tool's simplicity. It is front-loaded, but could benefit from a brief output description.
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 one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description is adequate but minimal. It does not explain the result format or what a successful test looks like.
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 description adds no meaning beyond the schema's own description of 'environmentId' (Environment ID to test). With 100% schema coverage, the baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Test connectivity') and the target resource ('Docker environment'), distinguishing it from CRUD environment tools. However, it could be more specific about what 'test' entails.
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 arcane_environment_get_docker_info or other test tools. The agent must infer usage from the name alone.
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?
Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true, but the description adds no behavioral context (e.g., side effects, permissions, or rate limits). It relies entirely on annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence; it is concise but lacks structure and omits important context. It could be improved by front-loading key info.
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 three parameters and no output schema, the description does not explain update semantics (e.g., partial updates, required existence), leaving the agent under-informed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not explain parameter roles or constraints beyond the schema; with 100% schema coverage, it adds no value. Baseline 3 is not earned because it doesn't reinforce or clarify.
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 ('update') and the resource (Docker environment). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create, delete, get, and list.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool, prerequisites, or alternatives. It does not explain how it differs from sibling tools beyond the verb.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds little beyond the annotations. It states the action but does not describe the return format, potential side effects (though annotations indicate none), or whether operation is synchronous or long-running. No output schema further limits transparency.
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 without extraneous words. It is appropriately concise for a simple tool, though it could be slightly expanded to cover return behavior without losing 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 one-parameter read-only tool, the description is adequate but incomplete. It does not mention what the agent should expect in response (e.g., a list of image updates or a status), which is important for invocation decisions. Annotations help but do not compensate for missing output details.
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 clear description for 'environmentId'. The description adds minimal semantic value by reinforcing that the check occurs 'in an environment', which already matches the schema. No additional formatting, constraints, or examples are provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (check for updates) and scope (all images in an environment). However, it does not differentiate from similarly named siblings like 'arcane_image_update_check_all', which likely has an identical purpose.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., checking a single image, multiple images by ID, or getting an update summary). The description does not mention any prerequisites, exclusions, or context for 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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, covering safety. The description adds no additional behavioral context (e.g., error handling, rate limits, or what happens if the image does not exist), so it provides no value beyond the structured fields.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is concise but could benefit from slightly more detail without becoming verbose.
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?
There is no output schema, and the description does not specify what 'detailed information' includes (e.g., layers, configuration, metadata). For a simple get tool, this omission leaves the agent uncertain about the return value, making it incomplete.
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% (both environmentId and imageId have descriptions). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's 'Environment ID' and 'Image ID or tag', so baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Get detailed information about a Docker image' clearly states the action (get) and resource (detailed information about a Docker image). It is specific but does not differentiate from siblings like arcane_image_get_counts or arcane_image_get_update_summary, which are distinct in name but similar in phrasing.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as arcane_image_list (for listing all images) or arcane_image_get_update_summary. The agent must infer usage from the tool name alone.
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?
Annotations indicate mutation (readOnlyHint=false) and non-destructive (destructiveHint=false). Description adds no further behavioral details, such as whether execution is synchronous or asynchronous, or what happens to the job state.
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, very concise. However, it could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness (e.g., specifying that it triggers immediate execution).
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?
No output schema exists; description should hint at return value or side effects. Sibling tools like arcane_job_list provide context that description lacks. Missing details on whether the tool returns a run status or ID.
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 clear parameter descriptions ('Environment ID', 'Job ID to run'). Description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, resulting in baseline score.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Run a job immediately' clearly states the action and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like arcane_job_list and arcane_job_schedule_update, but lacks specificity on what 'run' entails (e.g., triggers execution, not scheduling).
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 (e.g., arcane_job_schedule_update for recurring jobs). No prerequisites or context provided, such as the need for the job to exist.
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?
Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true and non-destructive. The description adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations and schema provide, such as error handling, permissions, or effects of updating schedules.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, appropriately front-loaded. It is not verbose, but could benefit from slightly more detail.
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 is minimal for a mutation tool. It doesn't explain that schedules are replaced in bulk, the role of the 'enabled' field, or any limitations. Given the presence of annotations and full schema, it still lacks important usage context.
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 parameters. The description adds no extra meaning or context to the parameters beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Update job schedules for an environment' clearly states the action (update), resource (job schedules), and scope (for an environment). It distinguishes from siblings like arcane_job_schedule_get and arcane_job_run, but lacks specificity about updating multiple schedules at once.
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 vs alternatives. It doesn't mention that arcane_job_schedule_get should be used for reading current schedules or that arcane_job_run is for executing jobs.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is clear. However, the description adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations provide, such as whether the count is live or cached, or error handling if the environment is invalid.
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 of 7 words, extremely concise with no wasted words. While it is brief, it efficiently communicates the core 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?
The tool lacks an output schema, so the description should explain what the returned counts represent (e.g., structure or type of counts). It does not, leaving the agent unsure about the response format. Given the simplicity (1 param, annotations present), the description is still incomplete.
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% for the single parameter 'environmentId', which is self-explanatory. The description does not add additional meaning, but with full schema coverage, baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The tool name and title clearly indicate it retrieves counts for a network, and the description specifies it operates on an environment. It is distinguishable from sibling tools like 'arcane_network_list' and 'arcane_network_get' because it focuses on counts. However, the description does not specify what kind of counts are returned (e.g., number of containers, number of networks), leaving some ambiguity.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives. There are sibling tools like 'arcane_container_get_counts' and 'arcane_image_get_counts', but no context to choose among them. No prerequisites, exclusions, or use cases are mentioned.
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?
Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true, but the description adds no behavioral context beyond 'update'. No mention of side effects, permissions, or what happens to existing configuration.
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 very concise (5 words), with no wasted text. It could benefit from slight structuring (e.g., listing parameters) but is appropriately sized.
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 update tool with annotations and clear schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks explanation of return behavior or effects, which would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage for all three parameters. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The title and description clearly state 'Update Apprise config/notification configuration', indicating a specific verb ('Update') and resource ('Apprise config'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get and test.
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., get or test). The description does not mention prerequisites or use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only restates the tool's function and adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations provide (idempotentHint=true). No mention of effects, permissions, or state changes.
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, no wasted words. Concise and direct, though lacks some context.
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 update tool with idempotent hint and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. Could mention that only environmentId is required and booleans are optional.
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 covers all 7 parameters with descriptions (100% coverage), so the description does not need to add meaning. Baseline score applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it updates notification settings for an environment, matching the name and title. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like get_settings or test, which could lead to confusion.
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 (e.g., get_settings for reading, apprise_update for Apprise-specific settings). The description lacks context for appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false) indicate the tool modifies state but is not destructive. The description adds no behavioral details beyond the annotations, such as network activity (pulling from registry), idempotency, or error scenarios. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 9 words that directly states the tool's purpose. It is front-loaded and contains no extraneous information, earning its place 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?
Given the complexity of the domain (Docker Compose projects), the description omits crucial context such as whether all images are pulled, if the operation is scoped to a single compose file, or how it relates to other project lifecycle operations like 'project_up'. The absence of an output schema increases the need for description completeness, which is not met.
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 covers both parameters (environmentId, projectId) with descriptions, achieving 100% schema coverage. The description does not add any meaning beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline score of 3 as per the rubric.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Pull all images for a Docker Compose project' clearly indicates the action (pull) and the resource (images for a project), distinguishing it from the sibling tool 'image_pull' which operates on a single image. However, it does not explicitly contrast with siblings like 'project_build' or 'project_up', leaving some ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'image_pull' for single images or 'project_up' which also pulls images. The description lacks context on prerequisite states (e.g., whether the project must be defined in the environment) or post-conditions.
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?
Annotations already indicate idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds no behavioral context beyond 'update', such as whether a redeployment is triggered or how quickly changes take effect.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that clearly conveys the action. It is front-loaded but could incorporate more context without becoming verbose.
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?
For a tool with no output schema, the description fails to clarify return value or post-update behavior (e.g., does it trigger a redeploy?). The idempotent hint is present but insufficient for complete understanding.
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 descriptions for all four parameters. The description does not add additional meaning or constraints beyond what is already in the schema, meeting the baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool updates a Docker Compose project configuration. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create, destroy, and redeploy, though it could be more specific about what aspects (compose content, env content) are updated.

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 absence of an output schema and the tool being an action (test), the description is incomplete. It does not explain what the return value indicates (e.g., success/failure, connectivity status), leaving agents with insufficient information.
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 covers 100% of the parameter semantics with 'registryId' as 'Registry ID'. The description adds no additional meaning or context about the parameter's format, constraints, or usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Test connectivity to a container registry' specifies a clear verb ('test') and resource ('connectivity to a container registry'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'arcane_registry_get' (get details) and 'arcane_registry_list' (list registries). However, it could be more precise about what 'test connectivity' entails.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'arcane_registry_get' for detailed information or 'arcane_environment_test' for environment connectivity. There is no mention of when not to use it or prerequisites.

- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds no behavioral context beyond stating the action, so it neither adds nor contradicts the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one sentence), but it lacks sufficient detail to be fully useful. It is front-loaded but under-specified.
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 no output schema, the description should explain what the search returns. It does not mention result format, pagination, or scope limitations, making it incomplete for a search 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 100% with a single 'query' parameter described as 'Search query'. The description does not add extra meaning or constraints, so it meets the baseline for fully documented parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Search settings and customization options' clearly indicates the tool searches settings, but it doesn't distinguish from sibling tools like arcane_settings_get or arcane_settings_get_categories, which might also retrieve settings.
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 search tool versus the other settings tools (get, get_categories, get_public, update). The agent receives no help in deciding.
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?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true. The description adds '[HIGH RISK]' but doesn't detail what gets destroyed (e.g., associated containers, config). With annotations, 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.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Very concise single sentence with risk tag. But could be more structured (e.g., bullet points) and front-loaded. Adequate but not excellent.
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?
Lacks details on return value (no output schema), consequences, error states, or prerequisites. For a high-risk destructive tool, the description is incomplete.
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?

However, the description adds no additional behavioral context such as which fields are optional or whether the update partially replaces the configuration. It is adequate but does not enrich beyond the structured data.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that efficiently states the tool's purpose. While it is minimal, it avoids redundancy. A slightly more informative phrase (e.g., listing common updateable fields) would be more helpful, but it is not verbose.
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 8 parameters and no output schema or return value explanation, the description is too sparse. It does not mention that only optional fields are updated or that the required parameters identify the sync. This lack of context could lead to misuse or incomplete invocations.
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 baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning; it simply reiterates the tool's action. The schema itself already describes each parameter sufficiently.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Update' and the resource 'GitOps sync configuration', making the tool's purpose immediately understandable. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like arcane_gitops_create or arcane_gitops_delete, which also target GitOps sync configurations.
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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool over alternatives such as arcane_gitops_create (to create a new sync) or arcane_gitops_sync (to trigger a sync). There is no mention of prerequisites or expected 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?
The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, which the description does not contradict. However, the description adds no extra behavioral context, such as whether it returns a flat list or directory tree, or if path browsing is limited.
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?
At one sentence, the description is extremely concise and directly states the purpose. While it could benefit from a brief elaboration, it avoids verbosity and is well-structured for quick comprehension.
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 absence of an output schema and limited behavioral detail in the description, an agent lacks complete context. It does not explain what 'browse' returns (e.g., file list, tree), pagination, or scope limits, which are critical for effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 100% description coverage for all three parameters, so the description does not need to add meaning. The descriptions in the schema are clear but minimal ('Repository ID', 'Branch to browse', 'Path within repository'), and the tool's description does not enhance this further.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Browse files' and the resource 'Git repository', making the purpose straightforward. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'arcane_git_repo_get_branches' or 'arcane_build_workspace_browse', which could be ambiguous without additional context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as file content retrieval or listing. There are no prerequisites, exclusions, or scenarios mentioned, leaving the agent without decision-support information.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, indicating a safe read operation. The description adds no additional context about behavior, such as what happens if the environment ID is invalid, whether results are paginated, or any side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

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 such as arcane_build_image or other build tools. Prerequisites, typical use cases, or decision criteria are absent.
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?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds no additional behavioral context, such as whether the project creation is idempotent, if it validates the compose file, or what happens on duplicate names.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that communicates the core purpose without redundancy. However, it could be slightly more structured by front-loading the key action.

Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with all parameters described. The description does not add any extra meaning beyond the schema, meeting baseline expectations.
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 'Create a new Docker Compose project from a compose file', identifying the specific verb (create), resource (Docker Compose project), and source (compose file). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like project_build, project_destroy, etc.
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. There are many sibling tools (e.g., project_build, container_create), but the description does not specify scenarios or prerequisites.
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?
Annotations indicate it is not read-only and not destructive, but the description adds no behavioral context beyond the title. It does not disclose whether duplicate names cause errors, whether authentication is validated, or if the creation is irreversible. The description fails to add value beyond the annotations.
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?

Annotations are all false, so description must disclose behavior. It only states 'Join' but doesn't mention outcomes, side effects (e.g., node becomes manager), error conditions, or idempotency. Lacks detail expected for a state-changing operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence that is front-loaded and contains no unnecessary words. Every word conveys purpose 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?
Despite 100% schema coverage, the description misses important context: no mention of return value or output, no error handling, no prerequisites (e.g., running Docker, valid token from manager). Incomplete for a cluster-joining operation.
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 extra meaning beyond what the input schema already provides for each parameter.
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 'Join an existing Docker Swarm cluster' uses a specific verb 'Join' and resource 'Docker Swarm cluster', clearly distinguishing it from siblings like 'arcane_swarm_init_cluster' (initialize) and 'arcane_swarm_leave_cluster' (leave).
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 vs. alternatives (e.g., init_cluster, leave_cluster). No prerequisites, conditions, or context for when not to use it.
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?
Annotations indicate the tool is not read-only and not destructive. The description adds that it starts stopped containers only. However, it does not explain effects on already running containers, error conditions, or idempotency behavior beyond the annotation hint.
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, highly concise, front-loaded with the action and scope.
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?
For a batch operation affecting multiple containers, the description is minimal. It lacks usage guidance, behavioral context, and error scenarios. With no output schema, more detail would be beneficial.
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 the parameter environmentId is fully documented. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (start all stopped containers) and scope (in an environment). It distinguishes from sibling arcane_container_start which operates on a single container, but does not differentiate from the similar sibling arcane_system_containers_start_stopped.
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 arcane_container_start or other system-level container tools. No exclusion context 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?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint. The description adds minimal context (Docker Compose template) but doesn't disclose additional 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?
Single sentence, no waste. Perfectly 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?
No output schema, so description should explain return value. It only says 'details' without specificity. Also fails to differentiate from sibling get tools.
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 templateId parameter. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides.

Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Get details of a Docker Compose template', specifying the verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like arcane_template_get_content and arcane_template_get_variables.
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 such as arcane_template_get_content or arcane_template_get_variables.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds no behavioral details beyond what annotations already provide. Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true. The description does not mention pagination, ordering, limits, or other behaviors typical for a list operation. It carries minimal extra value.
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 is concise and front-loaded. However, it is extremely brief and could be slightly expanded without losing conciseness. It efficiently communicates the core operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has low complexity (2 required params, no output schema). The description covers the basic purpose but lacks additional context such as the format of results, whether backups are sorted, or error handling. With annotations providing safety info, the description is minimally adequate but could be more helpful for a complete understanding.
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 covers both parameters with descriptions, so the description does not need to add parameter details. There is no additional clarification or context beyond what the schema already provides, which meets the baseline for 100% schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'List backups for a Docker volume' clearly states the verb (List) and the resource (backups for a Docker volume). It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools that do different operations on volume backups, such as create, delete, list_files, or restore.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not differentiate from 'arcane_volume_backup_list_files' or other listing tools. No context is given about prerequisites or conditions that affect usage.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description does not need to repeat that. However, it adds no behavioral context such as pagination behavior or whether results are sorted by default. With annotations covering safety, a score of 3 is appropriate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, front-loading the core action. It could be slightly expanded to mention optional features, but it is not verbose.
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 tool has 6 parameters and no output schema, the description is minimal. It does not mention pagination, sorting, or search capabilities even though those are present in the schema. The annotations cover safety, but the description could provide a more complete overview for the 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?
All parameters are fully described in the input schema (100% coverage). The description does not add any semantic information beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline of 3 stands.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists Docker volumes, and scopes it to an environment. This differentiates it from other volume operations like get, create, delete, or backup list. However, it does not detail the type of list (e.g., all volumes vs filtered) which would enhance clarity.
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 other volume list tools (e.g., arcane_volume_backup_list, arcane_volume_get_counts). The description only states what it does, not when it is appropriate to use.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds minimal value: it does not describe what the summary contains (e.g., severity counts, total vulnerabilities) or if there are any constraints (e.g., requires a completed scan). Without output schema, the agent must rely on the description for behavioral expectations.
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 is front-loaded and succinct. It conveys the core purpose without extraneous words. However, it lacks structure (e.g., no bullet points or sections) that could improve readability for complex tools.
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 tool's low complexity (2 params, strong annotations) and absence of output schema, the description is adequate but incomplete. It does not explain what 'summary' returns, leaving the agent to guess the output. Sibling tool 'arcane_vulnerability_get_scan_result' likely returns detailed results, but this distinction is not made.
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 documentation coverage is 100%; both parameters have brief descriptions ('Environment ID', 'Image ID'). The description adds no additional meaning beyond these. Given high coverage, the baseline is 3, and the description does not improve it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get a vulnerability scan summary for an image' with a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'arcane_vulnerability_get_scan_result' or 'arcane_vulnerability_get_scan_summaries' (plural), which could lead to confusion about which tool to use.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, limitations, or when not to use it. Sibling tools like 'arcane_vulnerability_get_scan_result' and 'arcane_vulnerability_get_scan_summaries' exist but no differentiation 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?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false, so the agent knows it's a write operation. However, the description adds no additional behavioral context beyond 'trigger', such as whether the scan is synchronous or asynchronous, or how long it typically takes.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that conveys the core action efficiently. It could be slightly expanded without becoming verbose.

Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple trigger tool with annotations, the description is functional but incomplete. It does not explain what happens after triggering (e.g., returns a job ID, how to retrieve results), which is important for agent workflows.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already has 100% coverage with descriptions for both parameters. The description does not add any additional meaning or context for the parameters beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (trigger) and resource (vulnerability scan for a Docker image). It distinguishes from sibling tools that retrieve scan results or summaries. However, it could be more specific about the outcome (e.g., returns a scan ID).
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 like arcane_vulnerability_get_scan_result or arcane_vulnerability_list. The agent has no context on the workflow or prerequisites.

- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations state destructiveHint=false, but the description says 'recreate a container,' which is inherently destructive (stop, remove, create). This contradicts the non-destructive annotation, confusing the agent about the tool's safety profile.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no wasted words. Key actions (pull and recreate) are front-loaded, making it immediately clear what the tool does.
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?
With no output schema, the description should clarify return values or side effects. It mentions pull and recreate but does not describe outcome (e.g., new container ID, status). The contradiction with annotations also reduces trust.
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% and both parameters have descriptions. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, 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?
Description clearly states the tool pulls the latest image and recreates the container with the same configuration. It provides a specific verb+resource (update container) and distinguishes from siblings like arcane_container_create or arcane_container_redeploy by emphasizing the pull-and-recreate behavior.
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 when wanting to update a container to the latest image, but does not explicitly state when to use or when not to. Sibling tools like arcane_container_redeploy or arcane_container_restart are not mentioned, so the agent lacks comparative guidance.
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?
Annotations are minimal (all hints false) and the description does not disclose side effects like whether the sync triggers deployments, restarts services, or is asynchronous. It fails to mention required permissions, idempotency, or potential impacts, leaving the agent without crucial behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

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 basic descriptions for both parameters (Environment ID, Image ID). The description does not add additional meaning or constraints beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb (check) and resource (image update by ID), clearly stating the tool's function. However, among many sibling tools like arcane_image_check_update and arcane_image_update_check_all, it does not differentiate, limiting its help for selection.
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 similar alternatives (e.g., arcane_image_update_check_all, arcane_image_update_check_multiple). The description does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or 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?
Annotations already indicate non-readOnly, so the description's 'Create' is consistent. However, beyond annotations, the description adds no further behavioral context (e.g., side effects, idempotency, or requirements). It meets the baseline with annotations but does not exceed.
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, short sentence that is front-loaded and free of unnecessary words. However, for a tool with 8 parameters, it could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness, hence not a 5.
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's complexity (8 parameters, no output schema), the description is incomplete. It does not mention important context like uniqueness constraints, driver requirements, or the effect of flags. The schema covers parameter definitions, but the description fails to provide higher-level usage context.
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 does not add any additional meaning or context for the parameters, such as parameter relationships or usage hints. Baseline score applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action 'Create a new Docker network', which is a distinct verb-resource pair. It differentiates from sibling tools like network_delete, network_list, etc., by focusing on creation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as prerequisites (e.g., environment must exist) or scenarios where other network tools are more appropriate. This lack of context reduces usability for an AI agent.
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?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true. Description adds '[CRITICAL]' but lacks details on state changes, risks, or side effects beyond initialization.
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?
One sentence with important flag front-loaded. Very concise but could benefit from a structured breakdown for clarity.
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?
For a destructive tool with no output schema, description lacks return behavior, success/failure signals, and prerequisites. Incomplete.
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 descriptions for all 4 parameters. Description does not add extra meaning beyond what the schema provides.
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?

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 vs. alternatives (e.g., join cluster, leave cluster). No prerequisites or conditions mentioned despite the '[CRITICAL]' flag.
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?
Annotations provide minimal behavioral hints (non-read-only, non-destructive, non-idempotent, non-open-world). The description adds no further details on side effects, permissions, rate limits, or whether scaling is synchronous.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 10 words, front-loaded with the action and resource. No unnecessary information.

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, no wasted words. Front-loaded with key information. Slightly lacking context but still 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?
No output schema, yet description fails to specify return value (e.g., boolean or status). Agent cannot infer what the tool actually returns, leaving a gap in 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 coverage is 100% with description for 'environmentId'. Description does not add meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 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?
Description specifies verb 'check' and resource 'Arcane upgrade', clearly distinguishing from sibling tools like 'arcane_system_upgrade' (perform upgrade) and 'arcane_updater_get_status' (get status).
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, such as performing the upgrade or checking update status. Agent has no context on prerequisites or expected sequence.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description lacks detail on side effects, permissions, and what happens if containers are already running. Annotations are all false, so the description should carry the burden but fails to provide sufficient behavioral context.
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 with no wasted words. It directly conveys the tool's action and scope.
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 simplicity (1 param, no output schema, no nested objects), the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks information on return values, error cases, or async behavior, which could be important 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?
The only parameter (environmentId) has a schema description of 'Environment ID'. The tool description does not add any further meaning, so the score is at the baseline of 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 'start', the resource 'previously stopped containers', and the scope 'in an environment'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'arcane_system_containers_start_all' by specifying only stopped containers.

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%, and the description does not add meaning beyond the schema. The schema already defines the 'variables' parameter as an object with string key-value pairs. The description simply restates 'Variables to set', which provides no additional semantic value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Update global template variables' clearly specifies the action (update) and resource (global template variables). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like `arcane_template_get_variables` (retrieval) and `arcane_template_update` (which might update other template properties). However, the term 'global' could be clarified, but overall it's specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, but provide no further behavioral context. The description adds the fact that it pulls the latest image and recreates the container, which implies a mutation and potential downtime. However, it does not disclose side effects (e.g., image cleanup, volume persistence, or error states), so transparency 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with an explanatory parenthetical. It front-loads the verb and resource, contains no unnecessary words, and is easily scannable.
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's mutation nature and the presence of many sibling container tools, the description lacks context about the redeployment process (e.g., downtime, volume behavior, image management). Without output schema or further details, an agent cannot fully understand the effects or distinguish it from restart/update for 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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, but parameter descriptions are minimal ('Environment ID', 'Container ID or name to redeploy'). The tool description does not add any additional meaning or context to these parameters (e.g., where to find IDs, format constraints). With high schema coverage, baseline is 3, and the description meets that but adds no extra 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?
The description clearly states 'Redeploy a single container (pull latest image and recreate)' which specifies the action, resource, and mechanism. Among sibling container tools like create, delete, restart, start, stop, and update, this distinguishes itself by emphasizing pulling latest image and recreating, which is different from restart (no pull) or update (config change).
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 provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like container_restart, container_update, or project_redeploy. It does not state prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it differs from similar operations, leaving the agent to infer usage from the brief description.
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?
The description adds that the tool toggles auto-update for a specific container, which is consistent with annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true). However, it does not reveal side effects or permission requirements beyond what annotations already convey.
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, concise sentence that front-loads the key information. Every word is essential and there is no redundant or extraneous content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple toggle tool with three well-documented parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers the main purpose. It does not mention return values or error scenarios, but these are less critical given the tool's simplicity.
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 three parameters (environmentId, containerId, enabled). The description adds no new semantic meaning beyond summarizing the tool's action, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'enable or disable automatic updates' and the resource 'specific container'. It is distinct from sibling tools like arcane_container_update (updates general settings) and arcane_updater_update_container (triggers an update), but does not explicitly differentiate itself.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives, such as arcane_container_update or arcane_updater_update_container. No prerequisites, context, or exclusions are mentioned.
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?
The description confirms a read-only operation, consistent with annotations. However, it adds no behavioral details beyond what annotations already provide (e.g., pagination behavior, error conditions).
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 clear sentence with no wasted words. It is brief but effective for a simple list operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with good schema and annotations, the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks mention of pagination behavior or the structure of returned events, which would be helpful since there is no output schema.
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 baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-level meaning beyond the schema's own descriptions, which are already clear.
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 explicitly states the action ('List events') and the scope ('for a specific environment'), clearly distinguishing it from the sibling tool 'arcane_event_list' which likely lists all events without an environment filter.
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 like 'arcane_event_list' or 'arcane_event_create'. The agent must infer from the name and title alone.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, making the tool's safety profile clear. The description does not contradict annotations nor add extra behavioral context (e.g., response format, potential errors). It is adequate given the annotations.
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, short sentence that immediately conveys the tool's purpose. It is devoid of fluff or redundancy, achieving maximum conciseness while remaining informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple GET operation with two well-documented parameters and clear annotations, the description covers the essential purpose. However, it lacks information about the return format or any linked resources (e.g., the status tool for checking sync state). It is mostly complete but could be slightly improved.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters having basic descriptions (e.g., 'Environment ID', 'GitOps sync ID'). The tool description does not add any additional meaning or context about how to obtain these IDs or what constitutes a 'GitOps sync configuration'. Baseline 3 applies due to high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get details' and the resource 'GitOps sync configuration'. The purpose is evident and aligns with the tool name, and it implicitly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'arcane_gitops_list' (listing) and 'arcane_gitops_get_status' (status), though no explicit differentiation is provided in the description.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'arcane_gitops_get_status' for status or 'arcane_gitops_list' for enumerating syncs. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions.
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?
The description does not add behavioral context beyond the annotations, which already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description simply states the action, adding no additional details like rate limits 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?
The description is a single, concise sentence that directly states the tool's purpose with no extraneous information. It is appropriately sized for the tool's simplicity.
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 does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., branch names or metadata), and since no output schema exists, this information is missing. It also omits details about pagination or ordering, leaving the agent without enough context to fully understand the tool's output.
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?
With 100% schema coverage, the schema already documents the single parameter 'repositoryId'. The description adds no further meaning, such as the format or source of the repository ID, so it meets the baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'List branches in a Git repository' clearly specifies the verb (List) and the resource (branches in a Git repository), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'arcane_git_repo_list' which lists repositories, and 'arcane_git_repo_browse_files' which browses files.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'arcane_git_repo_list' or other branch-related operations. It does not mention prerequisites or context for its use.
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?
The HIGH RISK label and 'Remove' verb align with destructiveHint=true, but no additional behavioral details beyond annotations (e.g., whether force removal is safe, or what happens to child images).
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 with a risk prefix; no wasted words. Efficient and 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?
Does not explain side effects (e.g., containers using the image may stop) or clarify when force or pruneChildren parameters are appropriate. Lacks completeness for a destructive operation.
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 description adds no extra meaning beyond the parameter names and types. Baseline 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 action 'Remove' and the resource 'Docker image from the host', with a HIGH RISK label that distinguishes it from non-destructive image tools like list or get.
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 prune or update. There is no mention of required prerequisites (e.g., containers must be stopped) or when to avoid.
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?

Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple getter with one parameter and annotations, the description covers the basic purpose. However, without an output schema, the description should hint at what 'details' means (e.g., user info like name, email). It is adequate but not fully complete for an agent that needs to know what to expect in return.
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 one required parameter 'userId' with a clear description 'User ID', covering 100% of parameter documentation. The description does not add further semantic detail (e.g., format or constraints) beyond the schema, but baseline is met given full schema coverage.
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 'Get', the resource 'user', and specifies 'details of a specific user'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'arcane_user_list' (lists all users) and 'arcane_user_update' (modifies user). The purpose is immediately clear and precise.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when you need details for a single user, but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives (e.g., using 'arcane_user_list' if you need multiple users). However, given the context of sibling tool names, the purpose is clear enough for basic differentiation.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds minimal behavioral context beyond confirming a read-only operation. It does not mention error handling, permissions, or response format.

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 vs alternatives (e.g., unignore) or prerequisites (e.g., scan must exist). The description does not provide context for appropriate use.
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?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false (write operation) and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds little beyond stating the action. It does not disclose potential side effects, permission requirements, or what state the vulnerability transitions to. Since annotations already signal a safe mutation, the description could have elaborated on specific behaviors like whether it triggers a re-scan or affects vulnerability counts.
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 extremely concise at 5 words, straightforward and front-loaded. While it is efficient, it could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness, e.g., mentioning the prerequisite of the vulnerability being ignored. However, it avoids unnecessary fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has three required parameters and no output schema. The description is minimal but adequate for a simple unignore operation. It does not explain return values (likely void or success confirmation) or prerequisites beyond being previously ignored. For a straightforward mutation, this is acceptable but not thorough.
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 all three parameters (environmentId, imageId, vulnerabilityId). The description does not add any additional meaning or context about how these parameters are used together or any constraints like format or validation rules. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate as the schema already handles parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Unignore a previously ignored vulnerability' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly indicating the action and target. It effectively distinguishes the tool from its sibling 'arcane_vulnerability_ignore' which performs the opposite operation.
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 should be used when a previously ignored vulnerability needs to be unignored, but it offers no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. It does not mention alternatives or prerequisites, such as whether the vulnerability must currently be in an ignored state. This, along with the tool name, provides basic context but lacks depth.
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?
Annotations already convey non-readonly, non-destructive, non-idempotent behavior. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond stating the creation action, but it does not contradict annotations. It provides no additional details on side effects or error conditions.
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 concise sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded and direct, making it easy to read.
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 having 4 parameters and no output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain what constitutes a valid webhook, how events work, or what the agent can expect after creation (e.g., return value). More context is needed for a creation 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 100% and the description does not add any meaning beyond the schema's own parameter descriptions. The baseline of 3 is appropriate as the description adds no extra 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?
The description clearly states the action 'Create' and the resource 'inbound webhook' scoped to 'an environment'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like arcane_webhook_delete or arcane_webhook_list.
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 usage guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites, constraints, or when not to use it.

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 is adequate for a simple list tool but does not explain the return format (e.g., 'Returns a list of API key objects'), which would be helpful given no output schema.
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?
Input schema covers all parameters with descriptions. The description does not add further meaning, so baseline 3 applies due to high schema coverage.
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 ('List') and resource ('API keys') with scope ('for the current user'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like arcane_apikey_create or arcane_container_list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for listing API keys but provides no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternative tools. It's functional but lacks guidance for an agent.
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?
Annotations already declare safe traits (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint). The description adds 'including logs' as a behavioral detail but provides no further context about response structure or error conditions.
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, front-loaded with key action, no unnecessary words. Every part earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, and the description only vaguely mentions 'detailed information' and 'logs'. For a simple GET tool with good annotations, it's adequate but lacks specifics about the return structure.
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 descriptions for both parameters. The tool description does not add any additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides.
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 'Get' and the resource 'detailed information about a specific image build', including logs. It distinguishes from siblings like arcane_build_list, which lists all builds.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as arcane_build_list (for listing builds) or arcane_build_image (for triggering a build). The description lacks when-not or alternative instructions.
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?
Annotations declare it as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive, so the safety profile is covered. However, the description adds no behavioral details beyond 'get content', such as what format the content is returned in or if there are size limits. It meets the baseline with annotations.
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, immediately stating the tool's purpose. No filler or unnecessary elaboration; every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read tool with two parameters, clear annotations, and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It could hint at the return type (e.g., raw file content) or encoding, but it's not critically incomplete.
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%: both parameters (environmentId and path) have descriptions in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so the 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 it retrieves file content from the build workspace, using a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('file from the build workspace'). It naturally distinguishes from sibling tools like browse (list files) and upload (write files).
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 compared to siblings such as arcane_build_workspace_browse (which lists files) or arcane_build_workspace_upload. The agent is left to infer usage context from the name alone.

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 no output schema, the description lacks detail on return format (e.g., list of project summaries). Annotations are sufficient, but the tool has pagination parameters and siblings; completeness is adequate but not full.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% with each parameter documented. The description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 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 verb 'List' and the resource 'Docker Compose projects/stacks' with the scope 'in an environment'. It distinguishes from siblings like arcane_project_create and other resource-specific list tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., arcane_project_get for a single project, or arcane_container_list for containers). No exclusions or when-not-to-use 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?
Annotations already declare destructiveHint: true, so the description's 'Delete' adds minimal extra. No mention of side effects or reversibility, but no contradiction with annotations.
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?
Extremely concise: one sentence with no wasted words. Suitable for a simple deletion tool.
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?
Adequate for a simple delete with one param and annotations indicating destructiveness. No output schema, so return value not needed. Could mention irreversibility, but not critical.

Schema coverage is 100% with both parameters described. The description adds no new information beyond the schema, leaving parameter semantics at baseline 3 per guidelines.
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: 'Run the auto-updater to check and update all containers with available image updates'. It uses a specific verb ('Run') and resource ('auto-updater'), and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'arcane_updater_update_container' (for single containers) and 'arcane_image_check_updates_all' (only checks).
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 does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, when to avoid it, or compare to sibling tools. Given the large sibling list, more context would be beneficial.
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?
Annotations already indicate destructiveness. The description adds 'CRITICAL RISK' and 'cannot be undone', reinforcing the irrevocable data loss. This goes beyond annotations without contradiction.
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, no wasted words. The critical risk is front-loaded for immediate agent attention.
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?
While concise, the description does not define 'unused' or clarify behavior for volumes in use. Given the high-risk nature, some additional context on what constitutes 'unused' and whether volumes in use are handled safely would improve completeness.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructive action. Description adds 'permanently' and explains behavior of force and volumes, exceeding annotations. Still lacks detail on return values 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?
Single sentence with risk warning and parameter usage. No wasted words, front-loaded with key information.
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 rich sibling context, description adequately covers tool behavior. Optional parameters explained. Could mention that deletion is irreversible, but 'permanently' implies it.
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 covers 100% of parameters. Description adds meaning beyond schema descriptions: force deletes running containers, volumes removes associated volumes. This improves usability.
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 'Delete a Docker container permanently' with a specific verb and resource. The [HIGH RISK] tag and mention of force/volumes distinguish from sibling tools like stop, restart, or redeploy.
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?
Provides guidance on when to use force and volumes parameters but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives (e.g., stop vs delete) or state when not to use.
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?
Annotations provide no destructiveness or read-only hints, and the description adds context that the tool refreshes image information across all registries. While it doesn't detail side effects, it aligns with the 'openWorldHint' and does not contradict any annotations.
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 10-word sentence, front-loading the action and purpose. Every word contributes meaning with no redundancy or filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter, no-output-schema tool, the description covers the action and outcome adequately. It could briefly mention if the operation is synchronous or affects multiple registries, but the current detail is sufficient for an agent to understand its basic function.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters with 100% coverage, so the description need not add parameter details. The baseline of 4 applies as the description adds no superfluous parameter information.
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 ('Sync') and resource ('all container registries') with the purpose ('to refresh image information'). It distinguishes itself from sibling registry tools (create, delete, get, list, test, update) by focusing on a refresh operation across all registries.
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 like individual registry operations or image update tools. The implied usage is for refreshing cached image data, but the description lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use context, especially given the many related sibling tools.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=false, covering safety and idempotency. The description adds the key behavioral trait that no authentication is required, which is not captured in annotations.
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 immediately conveys the core purpose and a critical prerequisite. No superfluous words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a parameterless tool with rich annotations and no output schema, the description is adequate. It could optionally mention the return type (e.g., returns a settings object), but this is not strictly required.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has zero parameters, so schema description coverage is 100%. Per guidelines, baseline is 4. The description does not need to add parameter details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves public settings and explicitly notes it requires no authentication. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like arcane_settings_get, which likely require authentication.
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 indicates when to use (no auth needed) but provides no explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives. The context of sibling tools implies use for non-authenticated settings, but lacks direct comparisons.
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?
Annotations already mark destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=false. The description adds '[CRITICAL RISK]' and specifies that force is required for managers, which provides additional behavioral context beyond annotations. No contradiction exists.
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: three key pieces of info (risk warning, action, usage hint) in one sentence. Every word is purposeful, with the critical risk flag front-loaded for immediate attention.
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 the tool's destructive nature (annotations cover that), the description provides essential guidance. However, it lacks details on immediate consequences (e.g., node removal, service disruption) and return behavior. With no output schema, a brief note on what happens after leaving would improve 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%, with both parameters documented in the schema. The description mentions the force parameter's purpose, but this largely duplicates the schema's description ('Force leave (required for managers)'). Thus, the description adds minimal meaning beyond the 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 explicitly states 'Leave the Docker Swarm cluster', clearly identifying the tool's action (leave) and resource (swarm cluster). The title reinforces this, and among sibling tools (e.g., init, join), this is uniquely for leaving, providing clear differentiation.
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 advises 'Use force=true for managers', giving specific guidance on parameter usage. While it doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives, the context of sibling tools makes it clear this is the only leave tool. A more explicit when-not-to-use or prerequisite warning would improve it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds significant value beyond annotations by explicitly labeling the tool as '[CRITICAL RISK]', noting that 'This cannot be undone!', and detailing the exact resources removed. This aligns with destructiveHint=true and provides crucial behavioral context.
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, well-structured sentence that front-loads the risk warning and concisely states the action and scope. There is no redundancy or wasted words.
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 the destructive nature and no output schema, the description adequately covers the core functionality and risks. It could benefit from explaining what 'unused' means or impact on running containers, but the annotations (destructiveHint=true) partially compensate.
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?
With 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 3. The description adds no new information beyond the schema; it mentions 'optionally volumes' which matches the volumes parameter description in the 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 the verb ('Perform Docker system prune') and resource ('Docker system'), and specifies what it removes: containers, networks, images, and optionally volumes. It distinguishes itself from sibling prune tools like image_prune, network_prune, and volume_prune by being more comprehensive.
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 tool is for general cleanup of unused Docker resources but does not explicitly provide guidance on when to use it versus other prune tools (e.g., image_prune, volume_prune). There is no 'when-not' or alternative suggestions, limiting its utility for tool selection.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, covering the safety profile. The description adds no behavioral context beyond stating it gets version information, which is already implied by the title.
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 with no extraneous words. Front-loaded and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple version retrieval tool with no output schema, the description is mostly complete. However, it could hint at the expected return format (e.g., string or object) to fully inform the agent.
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?
No parameters exist, and schema coverage is 100% by default. The description adds no parameter details, but baseline for 0-parameter tools is 4.
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 'Get' and resource 'Arcane server version information', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'arcane_environment_get_version' which is environment-specific.
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?
While no explicit when-to-use or alternatives are provided, the tool's purpose is straightforward and unique among siblings, making usage clear without additional guidance.
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?
Annotations already provide idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds context by specifying what is removed (containers) and referencing docker-compose down, which implies standard behavior.
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 clear sentences: one explains the action and the other directs to a sibling. No wasted 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?
The description covers the core action and differentiates from a sibling. For a simple 2-parameter tool without output schema, it is adequate; could mention return status but not necessary.
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 covers both parameters with descriptions, so baseline is 3. The tool description does not add further meaning beyond what the schema already provides.
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 ('stop and remove containers for a Docker Compose project') and distinguishes from a sibling tool ('Use arcane_project_destroy to also remove volumes').
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly tells when to use this tool and when to use an alternative (arcanine_project_destroy for volume removal), providing clear usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description goes beyond the destructiveHint annotation by emphasizing 'permanently delete', 'ALL its data', and 'cannot be undone'. It effectively communicates the irreversible nature of the operation, which is critical for an AI agent to assess risk.
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 single sentence with a critical risk prefix. Every word adds value, and the structure is front-loaded with the most important warning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a destructive delete operation, the description adequately covers the core action and risk. It does not mention return values or error cases, but the schema and annotations provide sufficient context. The simplicity of the tool and strong warning make the description complete enough for effective use.
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% parameter description coverage, clearly documenting environmentId, volumeName, and force. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond the schema, meeting the baseline for high coverage.
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 'delete' and the resource 'Docker volume', with an explicit warning about permanence and data loss. It is unambiguous and distinguishes from sibling volume tools like backup, browse, or prune.
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 a strong warning about critical risk and irreversibility, guiding the agent to be cautious. However, it does not explicitly compare with alternatives like 'arcane_volume_prune' or state when this tool should be preferred over other delete methods. The warning itself serves as a guideline for careful use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
