Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.3.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of Indian tax compliance: interest computation, general tax computation, filing walkthrough, deduction checklists, tax year info, TDS parsing, and advance tax scheduling. No two tools overlap in purpose.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names use a consistent snake_case pattern with descriptive verbs (compute, list, parse, schedule, filing) followed by nouns. The naming is predictable and uniform.
Tool Count5/5With 7 tools, the server covers the core workflows of Indian tax compliance without being bloated or sparse. Each tool serves a well-defined function.
Completeness4/5The tool set covers computation, deductions, filing, TDS, advance tax, and tax years. Minor gaps like tax payment or appeal support exist, but the core lifecycle is well-represented.
Average 4.3/5 across 6 of 7 tools scored.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true (no side effects) and openWorldHint=false. Description adds value by specifying the checklist includes statutory caps and the exact deduction sections, going 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no redundancy. First sentence describes output; second sentence explains utility. Every word earns its place.
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 one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool returns (checklist with caps) and how to use it. Minor lack of return format details, but overall sufficient.
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 has 100% coverage for the single parameter 'fy', so the schema already documents it. Description does not add further parameter meaning, meeting 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?
Description clearly states it returns an old-regime deduction checklist with statutory caps for specific sections (80C, 80CCD(1B), etc.), and distinguishes from siblings like compute_tax and compare_regimes by providing the deduction data rather than computing taxes.
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?
Description explicitly states it is useful for estimating the 'deductions' input to compute_tax/compare_regimes, providing clear usage context. Does not mention when not to use or alternative tools, but the guidance is sufficient.
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 readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false. The description adds value by specifying that it lists years for which 'rule packs' exist and includes 'filing deadlines for the current assessment year', providing context beyond the annotations about the data scope and additional information returned.
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 about 15 words, with no redundancy. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly.
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 listing tool with no parameters, the description covers the essential purpose and additional detail (deadlines). It could mention whether the list is chronological or includes both past and future years, but overall it is sufficient given the tool's simplicity.
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 tool has zero parameters, so schema coverage is trivially 100%. The description does not need to explain parameters, and it adds a hint about what the output contains (filing deadlines), which compensates for the lack of an output 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 'list' and the resource 'fiscal years', specifying that it lists years with rule packs and filing deadlines. This distinguishes it from sibling tools which focus on regimes, computations, or parsing, making the purpose unambiguous.
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 versus alternatives. However, given its simplicity and distinct function from siblings, the context implies it is for discovering available fiscal years. Still, a sentence about prerequisites or follow-up actions would improve clarity.
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?
Description clarifies read-only operation (parse file), consistent with readOnlyHint annotation. Adds output structure details but no mention of error handling or size limits. 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?
Two sentences, no waste. First sentence states purpose; second provides actionable usage instructions. Well-structured and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers input, output items, and constraints (supported format, password). Lacks explicit output schema but mentions key fields. Adequate for a simple tool with one parameter.
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% for the single 'path' parameter. Description adds no additional parameter-level information beyond the schema's description.
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?
Specific verb 'parse' and resource 'Form 26AS TEXT export', with clear output items (deductor, TAN, section, amounts, totals). Distinguishes from PDF exports and implicitly from sibling 'parse_ais' by file type.
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?
Explicitly tells user to download Text format, notes no password needed, and states PDF is not supported. Provides context on reliability. Missing direct comparison to 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 declare readOnlyHint=true, consistent with description of planning/reporting. Description adds behavioral details: the installment schedule, percentages, and shortfall reporting. No contradictions.
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, front-loaded with key purpose and output details. Every sentence is meaningful with no fluff. Very 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 4-parameter tool with no output schema, description covers what the tool does and what it returns (per-installment amounts and shortfalls). Missing error conditions or assumptions, but sufficient for standard 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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description adds minimal parameter info beyond schema (e.g., 'net of TDS' linking estimatedTax and tdsExpected), but doesn't elaborate on each parameter. Adequate but not exceptional.
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 builds an advance tax installment plan with specific due dates (Jun 15, Sep 15, Dec 15, Mar 15) and percentages (15/45/75/100%). It reports per-installment amounts and shortfalls, distinguishing it from siblings like compute_tax or list_deductions.
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?
Description implies use when you have an estimated tax liability net of TDS and want to plan installments. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like compute_tax, though the input schema hints at using compute_tax first. Still clear enough for most use cases.
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?
The annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description reinforces that this is 'guidance only' with no automated action. The description adds context about the portal steps and e-verification, going beyond the annotations to clarify the tool's non-destructive nature.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the core purpose ('Ordered, form-specific walkthrough') and efficiently lists the covered areas. No extraneous information is included.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool is read-only guidance with no output schema, the description provides all necessary information: what it covers (documents, reconciliation, computation, portal steps, e-verification), and that it is guidance only. The sibling tools are complementary, making this complete.
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 provides descriptions for both parameters (fy with default, form with enum and suggestion to use recommend_itr_form). Schema coverage is 100%, so the description does not need to add much. It mentions 'form-specific' which aligns with the form parameter, but does not enhance understanding 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 clearly states the tool provides an 'ordered, form-specific walkthrough' for filing ITR-1/2/3/4 on incometax.gov.in, covering specific steps like documents, reconciliation, and e-verification. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools which focus on individual computations or deductions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is for guidance by stating 'Guidance only -- the taxpayer performs the final submit on the portal themselves.' However, it does not explicitly list when not to use it or directly contrast with sibling tools, though the intent is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false. The description adds deterministic behavior, rounding (Rule 119A), and part-month rules, providing extra context beyond 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?
Three sentences efficiently front-load the tool's purpose and detail. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.
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 6 parameters and no output schema, the description fully explains the computation logic. However, it could briefly mention that the output is interest amounts, but the tool name makes this clear.
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 description coverage is 83%. The description adds meaning by explaining how each parameter is used in the interest calculation, e.g., 'per-installment shortfalls' and 'safe harbors', which goes beyond the schema's field descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it computes sections 234B and 234C interest on advance-tax shortfalls, with specific formulas and rules. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like compute_tax and schedule_advance_tax.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use when computing interest on advance tax shortfalls, but it does not explicitly state when to use or not use this tool versus alternatives. No exclusions are provided.
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 behavioral context beyond the readOnlyHint annotation: it confirms determinism ('Deterministic', 'never estimated'), source of logic ('code from a versioned rule pack'), and coverage of all major Indian tax rules. This fully informs the agent of the tool's behavior and limitations.
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 compact paragraph with five sentences, each contributing distinct information. No redundant or filler content. The purpose and key features are front-loaded, making it efficient for an AI agent to parse.
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 complexity (8 parameters, no output schema) and the annotation richness, the description adequately covers computation logic and inputs. However, it omits any mention of the output format (e.g., whether it returns a single tax amount or a breakdown), which is a minor gap. Overall, it is nearly complete.
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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining how parameters interact (e.g., 'all arithmetic is done in code', 'Handles new/old regime slabs...'), which complements the individual parameter descriptions. It clarifies the role of deductions (old regime only) and capital gains rates, providing semantic depth 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 starts with 'Deterministic Indian income tax computation for a fiscal year', which is a specific verb+resource combination. It enumerates handled features (regime slabs, standard deduction, 87A rebate, capital gains, surcharge, cess), making the purpose unmistakable and distinct from sibling tools like compare_regimes and compute_hra.
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 states what the tool does but does not explicitly provide when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance relative to siblings. While the purpose is clear, there is no exclusionary context (e.g., 'use compare_regimes for regime comparisons'). The implied usage is present, but formal guidelines are absent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
