Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v2.0.0
- Disambiguation4/5
Each tool targets a distinct action (declare intent, edit, write, bash), but edit_hitl and write_hitl both handle file changes and the relationship between declare_intent_hitl's sessionToken and the per-action sessionToken is not fully clear. Overall, agents should be able to select the right tool with the guidance provided.
Naming Consistency4/5All tools share the _hitl suffix and follow a verb prefix pattern. declare_intent_hitl uses a compound verb while the others use single verbs, creating a slight inconsistency, but the pattern remains predictable and readable.
Tool Count5/5Four tools is well-scoped for a proxy server that adds human-in-the-loop approval to common operations. Each tool has a clear role and no redundant entries inflate the surface.
Completeness4/5The server covers the core file edit/write and shell execution actions needed for an approval proxy, plus an explicit intent declaration step. Missing session audit/cancel tools are minor gaps that don't block the primary workflow.

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?
There are no annotations, so the description carries the behavioral burden. It clearly discloses the human-approval requirement, the two-phase call pattern, and that the second call needs the sessionToken. It does not explicitly state that no write occurs on the first call, but the approved:false step strongly implies a pre-approval staging behavior.
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 compact and front-loaded with the primary action and the approval requirement. The numbered flow is easy to follow, though calling it 'dos llamadas' while listing three steps (including question()) introduces a minor structural inconsistency.
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 human-in-the-loop write tool with no output schema, the description covers the essential invocation flow, approval gate, and token handling. It does not describe the return value of the approved:true call or what happens if the user rejects, but the main steps an agent needs to complete a successful write are present.
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 the baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful workflow semantics beyond the schema by explaining the exact order of approved values and the role of sessionToken across the two calls. This helps an agent understand how the parameters interact in the full flow.
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 states a specific action and resource: 'Crea o sobreescribe un archivo completo' (create or overwrite a complete file). The word 'completo' helps distinguish it from the sibling edit_hitl, which likely handles partial edits, making the tool's purpose clear and differentiated.
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 clear, structured correct flow: first call with approved:false to receive instructions and a sessionToken, then use question() for approval, then call again with approved:true. It does not explicitly mention alternatives like edit_hitl or bash_hitl, but the context for when to use this tool is clearly implied by the full-file write behavior and the approval workflow.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries the burden. It discloses the approval gate, the two-call interaction, and warns that destructive commands (rm, del, drop, etc.) are especially sensitive. It does not detail failure modes or response format, but the core behavioral requirements are well covered.
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 compact and well-structured with numbered steps and a front-loaded warning. No redundant sentences; every line contributes to correct invocation.
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 HITL tool with no output schema, the description covers the essential invocation pattern, approval requirement, and risk warning. Missing only minor details like the shape of the second response or what occurs on rejection, but overall it gives an agent enough to call it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds workflow-level semantics beyond the schema: it explains that approved:false is the first call and that sessionToken comes from the first lock or declare_intent_hitl, reinforcing how the parameters interlock.
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 opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Ejecuta un comando shell' (execute a shell command), which is unambiguous and distinct from sibling tools like edit_hitl or write_hitl. It also immediately flags the HITL approval nature, making the tool's role clear.
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 gives a concrete three-step correct flow: call with approved:false, use question() to present the command, then call with approved:true and the sessionToken. It does not explicitly contrast against sibling tools, but it provides enough procedural guidance for when and how to invoke this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the safety burden. It discloses the human-approval requirement and the two-phase behavior, including that the first call returns instructions and a sessionToken and the second call performs the edit only after approval. It does not detail error cases or the response of the approved call, but the core behavioral trait is transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and front-loaded: one purpose sentence, one requirement line, and a numbered flow. Every sentence earns its place, and the numbered steps make the required sequence easy to follow.
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 multi-step HITL tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the essential call sequence, the role of the token, and the need for question(). Minor gaps exist around what the second call returns and what happens on failure, but an agent can invoke the tool correctly from this definition.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds protocol-level meaning to 'approved' and 'sessionToken' by explaining how they relate across the two required calls, which goes beyond the individual schema 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 opens with a specific verb+resource sentence ('Edita un archivo existente reemplazando un fragmento de texto') that clearly identifies the operation and scope. The word 'existente' and the HITL approval requirement distinguish it from siblings like write_hitl and bash_hitl.
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?
It provides a clear two-call protocol: call with approved:false, ask the user via question(), then call with approved:true and the sessionToken. This is strong when-to-use guidance for the HITL flow, though it does not explicitly state when not to use the tool or name alternative tools for other file operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the disclosure burden. It explains that the tool returns a sessionToken, that it is a prerequisite for later approved actions, and that it should precede user approval. It does not elaborate on failure modes or consequences, but the core behavior is well disclosed.
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 compact, front-loaded with the best-practice directive, and uses a clear numbered flow. Every sentence adds relevant information without redundancy.
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?
For a coordination tool with three required parameters and no output schema, the description fully explains the intended sequence, the returned token, and how subsequent sibling tools should be invoked. An agent has enough context to call it correctly and understand the resulting workflow.
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 schema already documents action, target, and reason. The description adds a usage example and clarifies the role of reason, but provides little additional meaning beyond the schema. 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 this tool declares intent and returns a sessionToken before user approval, distinguishing it from sibling execution tools (edit_hitl, write_hitl, bash_hitl). The verb 'declarar' plus the explicit flow makes its role unambiguous.
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 instructs to use it before question(), presents a numbered ideal flow, and names the subsequent tools that require the sessionToken and approved: true. This is strong when-to-use guidance with concrete sequencing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
