Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.2.4
- Disambiguation5/5
All tools have clearly distinct purposes. Even similar ones like call_readonly vs call_write are differentiated by mutability, and the various view-related tools target different aspects (data, simplified data, entities, fields).
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent snake_case pattern with the 'alterios_' prefix and verb_noun structure. Verbs vary appropriately (get, list, call, etc.) but are predictable and aligned with resource actions.
Tool Count4/521 tools is slightly above average but well-scoped for a comprehensive platform API. Each tool addresses a distinct function, and there is no obvious bloat.
Completeness4/5The tool set covers a wide range of operations—read, write, metadata, config, views, reports, script execution. Minor gaps exist for explicit CRUD on specific resources like forms or views, but generic write services fill those gaps.
Average 2.6/5 across 21 of 21 tools scored. Lowest: 1.3/5.

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
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It only vaguely hints at reading a view but fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, required permissions, or error handling.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short (one sentence), which could be concise, but it is underspecified and lacks useful information. It does not earn its place as it adds little value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (5 parameters, 1 required, no schema coverage, output schema exists), the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the return format, pagination, or any other essential context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention any of the 5 parameters (view_id, limit, offset, profile, project_id), leaving their meaning entirely undefined.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Read a view', which is a specific verb and resource, but the phrase 'as Stimulsoft usually sees it through get-data-simplified' is confusing and unclear. It does not clearly differentiate from sibling tools like alterios_view_data or alterios_view_entities.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does 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. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or exclusions.
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?
With zero annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits, but it only mentions 'plan or apply' and 'optional process smoke'. It does not state whether the tool is read-only or destructive, what side effects occur (e.g., process creation, data modification), authorization needs, or rate limits. The ambiguity of 'plan or apply' adds confusion rather than transparency.
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 of 14 words, which is concise but lacks structure. For a tool with 30 parameters, a more structured format (e.g., bullet points summarizing key inputs and behavior) would improve usability without much added length. The current brevity sacrifices informativeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (30 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations, and a likely complex output schema), the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain what 'plan or apply' means, what the output looks like, how to use the tool step by step, or how it fits with sibling process tools. A comprehensive description is necessary 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?
Schema coverage is 0% (no parameter descriptions), and the description mentions only three parameter categories (task form, diagram, script refs, process smoke) out of 30 parameters. It does not explain the purpose of key parameters like dry_run, plan_id, profile, or the many optional fields. The description adds minimal value beyond the parameter names in the schema.
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 it plans/applies a BPMN scenario with task form, diagram, script refs, and optional smoke, which gives a general idea. However, the verb 'plan or apply' is ambiguous (are they two modes?), and it does not distinguish from sibling tools like alterios_upsert_bpmn_diagram or alterios_start_process. A more precise verb like 'creates' and explicit differentiation would improve clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does 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. The description does not mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions. Given the large number of sibling tools, this omission severely hinders appropriate tool 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?
No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. It mentions 'plan or apply' and 'dry_run' parameter implies testing mode, but doesn't explain behavior when dry_run is false or what side effects occur (e.g., creation, modification). Output schema exists but is not detailed.
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 attempts to pack multiple concepts ('plan or apply', 'report plus openId form tab scenario') but sacrifices clarity. Could be improved with clear segmentation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given high complexity (22 parameters, no schema descriptions, no annotations), the description is severely incomplete. It fails to cover the tool's purpose, usage, or parameter roles, leaving the agent unable to invoke it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema descriptions are absent (0% coverage) and the tool description adds no parameter explanations. With 22 parameters, including required ones like source_view_id, target_form_id, and report_name, the agent has no clues on their meaning or usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Plan or apply a report plus openId form tab scenario backed by a Project Database source view' is vague and does not differentiate this tool from siblings like alterios_upsert_report or alterios_patch_form_tabs. It fails to specify the primary action (create a tab) and only mentions 'plan or apply' without 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 alternatives. The description provides no context about prerequisites, typical use cases, or exclusions. With many sibling tools, the agent cannot determine 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?
No annotations exist, so description must carry burden. It mentions 'returns readback' and 'requires explicit write gates' but does not disclose side effects, idempotency, or implications of 'plan' vs 'create'. Ambiguity reduces transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short but poorly structured: 'Plan or create' is an awkward phrase and the sentence order doesn't prioritize key info. Could be more precise 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?
Given 7 parameters and an output schema, the description fails to provide enough context. It doesn't explain the return value, parameter roles, or how 'plan' and 'create' differ. Incomplete for an 8-sibling tool set.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no parameter documentation. With 7 parameters and no explanations, the agent has no guidance on what each parameter means.
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 'Plan or create an Alterios comment' which gives a general action but is ambiguous about whether it plans or creates. It distinguishes from siblings like alterios_write_journal but lacks specificity about the comment's 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 on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The mention of 'explicit write gates' is a prerequisite, not usage context. No when-not or sibling differentiation provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It only says 'diagnose separately' without disclosing whether the tool is read-only, what it returns, or side effects. This is insufficient for an AI agent to infer safe usage.
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 does not use bullet points or sections to organize information about the tool's behavior. It is minimal yet unhelpful for a complex tool with many parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the tool having 13 parameters and an output schema, the description provides no context about return values, what 'diagnosing separately' entails, or how to interpret results. It fails to cover essential aspects for effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description adds no explanations for any of the 13 parameters (e.g., form_id, sample_rows, expected_mode). The agent has no information to correctly fill parameters beyond their names and types.
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 'Diagnose report data, template, form binding, PDF, and browser viewer evidence separately.' This vaguely indicates the tool examines different report components, but the verb 'Diagnose' is unclear and does not specify the output or action. It fails to distinguish from siblings like 'alterios_report_full' or 'alterios_validate_printable_render'.
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 does not mention context, prerequisites, or conditions. With many sibling tools, lack of differentiation is a significant gap.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations present, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'safe read-only', which is minimal. It does not explain side effects, required permissions, or what 'probe' does (e.g., list available routes or test connectivity).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, making it concise, but it is under-specified. Conciseness should not come at the expense of essential information. The structure lacks any meaningful details.
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 two parameters and an output schema, the description should explain the purpose of parameters and the output format. It provides none of this, leaving the agent with insufficient context to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has two parameters (profile, project_id) with 0% schema description coverage. The description provides no explanation of these parameters, their purpose, or how they affect the tool's behavior. This is a critical failure.
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 'Probe the known safe read-only Alterios REST routes' indicates a discovery action but is vague. It does not specify what probing entails or what information is returned. While it distinguishes itself as specific to read-only routes, it fails to clearly articulate the tool's primary function.
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 sibling tools like alterios_rest_get or alterios_call_readonly_service. The description lacks context about when to probe vs. call, leaving the agent without decision criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It only says 'return known functions,' omitting whether the operation is read-only, what the output format is, or any permissions needed. Minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is under-specified rather than concise. It lacks structure and does not earn its place by providing sufficient information; it is too brief for a tool with one parameter and an output schema.
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 one parameter and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the output's content, the role of the parameter, or how this tool relates to the many sibling tools. Significant gaps remain.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% for the single boolean parameter 'read_only'. The description adds no explanation of what the parameter controls (e.g., whether it filters by read-only status). This leaves the agent without guidance on parameter usage.
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 'Return known Alterios script-service functions' states a specific verb (Return) and resource (script-service functions), but 'known' is ambiguous and it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like alterios_discover_readonly or alterios_call_readonly_service. The purpose is clear but vague.
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 alterios_discover_readonly or the call tools. The description lacks any context about usage scenarios or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral aspects. It implies mutation (create/update) and a read-back side effect, but it does not disclose permissions, reversibility, or any constraints. The mention of 'plan' is unclear.
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, making it concise, but it sacrifices necessary detail. It is front-loaded with the action but lacks structure for clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 9 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations, and only a brief description, the tool is severely underspecified. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for the lack of information about the input parameters and overall behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description provides no explanation for any of the 9 input parameters (e.g., name, dry_run, profile, template, report_id, etc.), and schema coverage is 0%. The description fails to add meaning beyond the schema.
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 the tool can 'plan or create/update an Alterios report and read it back through report full.' While it identifies the resource (report) and actions (create/update/read back), the verb 'plan' is ambiguous and it does not clearly differentiate from sibling tools like alterios_patch_report_template or alterios_create_report_tab.
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 such as alterios_report_full or alterios_patch_report_template. No conditions, prerequisites, 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.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. Description only says 'Read' which implies non-destructive, but omits pagination behavior, authentication requirements, or any side effects. Minimal disclosure.
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?
Only one sentence, but it contains a typo (listandcount) and is vague. Conciseness is good, but structure and clarity are lacking.
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?
Although an output schema exists (but not shown), the description does not mention return value structure. The tool has many siblings, and the description provides no help for selection. Incomplete for the context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% coverage (no property descriptions). The description does not explain any parameters, leaving the agent to infer from names only. With 5 parameters, this is a significant gap.
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 it reads users via a specific route, but does not distinguish from similar list tools like alterios_list_groups or alterios_list_profiles. The wording is awkward (listandcount) and lacks specificity.
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 context on prerequisites or appropriate scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; the description does not disclose side effects, permissions required, or behavior on validation failure. 'Validate' implies read-only, but that is not confirmed.
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 it lacks sufficient detail to be useful. Minimal description leaves many gaps.
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 4 optional parameters and 0% schema coverage, the description does not explain how to use the parameters or what the output schema contains. The agent lacks key information to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no information about the four parameters (form, form_id, profile, project_id) or their roles in the validation.
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 the verb 'validate' and the resource 'Alterios form' against a 'blocking UX contract', but 'blocking UX contract' is jargon that is not explained, and there is no differentiation from numerous sibling validation 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 this tool versus alternatives like alterios_validate_module_contract, alterios_validate_script, or other validate tools. The agent is left to guess the specific context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions 'preflight and readback' but does not explain what these entail, whether they trigger side effects, or what permissions are needed. The 'allow_destructive' parameter indicates potential destructiveness, but this is not clarified in the description.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but at the expense of clarity. It front-loads the action and resource but omits critical details that would make it useful. It sacrifices comprehensiveness for brevity, resulting in under-specification.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (8 parameters, nested object, no annotations, output schema present), the description is severely incomplete. It provides no explanation of return values (despite output schema), no guidance on preflight vs. execute behavior, and no clarification of the 'readback' concept. The agent lacks sufficient context to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% — the schema provides no parameter descriptions. The description adds no meaning to parameters: it mentions 'by UUID' (referring to script_id) but fails to explain args, dry_run, profile, project_id, expected_name, expected_active, or allow_destructive. The agent cannot understand parameter roles from this description.
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 specifies the action ('plan or execute'), resource ('manual Alterios script'), and identifier ('by UUID'). It also hints at two modes (preflight and readback). However, it does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like alterios_fast_live_bulk_manual_script or alterios_validate_script, which share similar purposes.
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 states the tool can plan or execute but does not provide criteria for choosing between these modes or mention when to use other tools (e.g., validate scripts, bulk execution).
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?
Only mentions 'destructively delete' and 'dangerous workflow' but lacks details on irreversibility, side effects, confirmation steps, or how the plan workflow differs from direct deletion. With no annotations, more transparency is expected.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The single sentence is too concise for the tool's complexity. It lacks structure (e.g., separating plan vs delete modes) and fails to convey essential information without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 20 parameters, nested objects, and an output schema, the description is drastically under-specified. It provides no context on the workflow, safety checks, or how to integrate with sibling tools, leaving the agent with almost no actionable information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description provides no information about any of the 20 parameters (8 required). Parameters like selected_content_ids, expected_count, and delivery_evidence are left entirely unexplained.
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 identifies the tool's action: 'destructively delete' or 'plan' for 'explicitly reviewed content rows'. It distinguishes from siblings like alterios_delete_user and alterios_delete_role by specifying content rows and a dedicated dangerous workflow.
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 siblings, or when to plan vs execute. Does not explain prerequisites or safety measures despite being a destructive tool.
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?
No annotations provided. Description fails to disclose behavioral details like side effects, permissions, rate limits, or what 'plan' vs 'execute' does. With 22 parameters and no schema descriptions, the description should carry more disclosure.
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?
Single sentence is concise but lacks structure. Could be expanded into separate plan/execute modes without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given high complexity (22 params, 7 required, nested objects), the description is severely incomplete. Does not explain modes, prerequisites, or outcomes despite presence of output schema.
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 0%. Description only hints at 'selected content rows' and 'script', leaving 20 parameters unexplained. Does not compensate for missing schema descriptions.
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?
Verb 'Plan or execute' with resource 'one reviewed manual script for selected content rows' is specific. Distinct from sibling 'alterios_execute_manual_script' by including planning. Could be clearer about what planning 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 on when to use this vs alternatives. Description does not specify conditions for planning vs execution or compare to sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only mentions 'plan or apply' without detailing what these phases entail, whether the tool is destructive, requires approval, or what side effects occur. Parameters like dry_run and require_clean_health imply safety checks, but these are not disclosed in the description.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 12 words, which is concise but insufficient. It lacks the detail needed for a tool with 13 parameters, sacrificing utility for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a complex tool with 3 required nested parameters, no annotations, and an output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the workflow, parameter usage, or output, leaving the agent ill-equipped to invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description provides no explanation for any parameter. It does not mention required parameters (scenario_tool, scenario_args, etc.) or complex objects like delivery_evidence, leaving the agent without necessary guidance.
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 (plan or apply) and resource (one approved scenario) within the fast live-write workflow. It distinguishes from bulk write tools in the sibling list, but does not explicitly differentiate from other write tools like alterios_rest_write or alterios_call_write_service.
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 does not mention prerequisites, when not to use, or comparison to sibling tools such as alterios_fast_live_bulk_delete or alterios_rest_write.
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 absent, so description carries full burden. It mentions 'Read' implying non-destructive, but no explicit safe behavior, auth requirements, or pagination details are disclosed. The route phrase is unclear and adds no 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.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short but not effectively concise; it uses unclear jargon ('typed listandcount route') and omits necessary details. It does not front-load key information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given four parameters, no annotations, and no schema descriptions, the description is completely inadequate. It fails to explain pagination, filtering, or the purpose of profile and project_id, leaving major gaps for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description provides no explanation of the four parameters (limit, offset, profile, project_id). Their names suggest functionality but are not clarified, leaving the agent without crucial semantic guidance.
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 clearly states it reads content types, using verb 'Read' and resource 'content types'. However, it lacks explicit differentiation from sibling tools like alterios_list_fields or alterios_list_groups, which are also list operations on different resources.
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 prerequisites, context, or exclusions are provided, leaving the agent to infer usage without support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must carry the full behavioral disclosure burden. It vaguely describes mutating requests and write gates but fails to explain key behaviors: what dry_run does, what 'allow_destructive' means, what happens on execution, or the nature of the response. Given the tool's write nature, much more context is needed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is only two sentences and contains no obvious fluff. However, for a tool with 9 parameters and no schema descriptions, this is severe under-specification. Concision is valuable, but not when it omits essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (9 params, required fields, nested objects, output schema) and the complete lack of parameter descriptions, the brief description is grossly inadequate. It does not explain the role of dry_run, plan_id, or how the write gates work. The existence of an output schema is not leveraged.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It provides no explanation of any of the 9 parameters (body, path, method, params, dry_run, plan_id, profile, project_id, allow_destructive). Agents have zero semantic guidance beyond the parameter names.
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 plans or runs mutating REST requests, which distinguishes it from read tools like alterios_rest_get. However, it does not differentiate among the many sibling write tools (e.g., alterios_fast_live_write, alterios_call_write_service), leaving ambiguity about when to use this generic REST write tool.
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 mentions 'Execution requires explicit write gates,' providing a precondition. However, it offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternative write tools, nor does it specify when not to use it or what factors might favor a sibling.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It only says 'Plan or create/update' without disclosing destructive potential (e.g., overwriting existing diagrams), authentication needs, 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.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, but it is under-specified for a tool with 11 parameters and complex behavior. It sacrifices necessary detail for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 11 parameters with no schema descriptions and no annotations, the description is critically incomplete. The agent cannot determine how to use the tool effectively or what it returns.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the 11 parameters (e.g., dry_run, diagram_id, project_id). The agent has no semantic understanding of how to fill these fields.
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 states the action (plan or create/update) and resource (BPMN diagram) clearly. It distinguishes from sibling upsert tools by specifying the target type, but does not explicitly differentiate when to use this tool over others.
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, no prerequisites, no context for 'plan' vs 'create/update', and no mention of when to set parameters like diagram_id or project_id.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It states the need for write gates but fails to explain side effects, destructiveness, idempotency, or what 'plan' entails. The existence of an output schema is not referenced, so agents cannot infer return behavior without inspecting the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short (2 sentences) and avoids verbosity, but it is under-specified. It lacks critical details, making it insufficient for an agent to use correctly. Conciseness should not come at the expense of completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the high complexity (13 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations) and the presence of an output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain return values, param dependencies, or usage scenarios, leaving the agent with inadequate context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 0%, yet the tool description provides no explanations for any of the 13 parameters. Parameter names like 'mname', 'dry_run', and 'allow_unmanaged_update' remain ambiguous, offering no semantic value beyond their titles.
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's action: 'Plan or add/update an Alterios view field'. The verb 'upsert' is specific and the resource 'view field' distinguishes it from sibling tools that operate on other entities like views or fields. However, it could be more precise about what constitutes a 'view field' and how it differs from similar tools like alterios_upsert_field.
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 mentions that 'Execution requires explicit write gates', which hints at a prerequisite, but it does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., alterios_upsert_view_entity or alterios_upsert_field). No information on when not to use it or context for selection is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'plan or apply' hinting at a dry_run parameter, but it does not describe side effects, required permissions, or what happens upon actual application. The output schema exists but is not mentioned. The description lacks critical behavioral context for a destructive operation.
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 conveys the core purpose efficiently. It is not overly verbose and fits within a short span. However, it could be improved by front-loading key action words and separating the 'plan' vs 'apply' modes more clearly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 29 parameters, 0% schema coverage, and no annotations, the description is grossly inadequate. It fails to explain how to use the tool, what each parameter does, or what the output represents. The existence of an output schema somewhat mitigates but does not compensate for the lack of parameter guidance. The description is too sparse for a complex tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the description must compensate. However, it only vaguely references 'content type, fields, view, forms, and group' without mapping to specific parameter names (e.g., module_name, field_name_prefix, fields) or explaining their meaning. Many parameters (e.g., plan_id, profile, icon_ids) are left unexplained, making the tool difficult to use correctly.
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's purpose: to plan or apply a full Alterios material module covering content type, fields, view, forms, and group. The verb 'plan or apply' and resource 'material module' are specific. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like alterios_upsert_field or alterios_upsert_view that handle individual components, so it lacks differentiation.
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 individual upsert tools. The description implies it is for a full module but does not state prerequisites, limitations, or disqualifying cases. This omission makes it harder for an AI agent to decide correctly.
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?
Lacks annotations, so description must disclose behavior. Only mentions 'plan or start' and 'verified', but does not explain what verification entails, whether it executes immediately, or if it is asynchronous. No details on side effects or consequences.

Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description states it plans or starts a BPMN process for selected content rows, which is clear. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling 'alterios_start_process', which likely starts a single process; the 'bulk' and 'live' aspects are implied by the name but not explained.
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 like alterios_start_process. No prerequisites or scenarios provided. The agent is left to infer usage from the name.

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 prerequisites, and no mention of when not to use it. Sibling tools are not referenced.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full weight. It only hints at write permission requirements but fails to disclose other behaviors such as whether the operation is destructive, rate limits, or what happens on conflict. This leaves significant gaps for an agent.
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 very concise (one sentence), which aids readability, but it lacks structure and fails to front-load critical details. It is under-informative for a tool with 10 parameters.
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 (10 parameters, no param descriptions, no annotations), the description is far from complete. It does not explain return values or process nuances, relying on the output schema (unseen) but lacking context for effective invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage and no parameter explanations in the description, the agent sees only parameter names from the schema. The description adds no meaning, violating the baseline expectation that it should compensate for low 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 states the tool plans or creates/updates an Alterios view entity, which is a clear verb+resource. It also mentions a requirement (write gates). However, it does not fully distinguish from sibling tools like alterios_upsert_view or alterios_upsert_view_field, missing an opportunity to clarify what a 'view entity' is in this 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?
The description provides a prerequisite ('explicit write gates') but no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. Without differentiation among sibling upsert tools, an agent may struggle to select the correct one.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states the tool creates a milestone but omits behavioral traits such as whether dry_run previews effects, what authentication is needed, or any side effects. The parameter 'dry_run' with default true hints at a preview mode, but this is not disclosed in the description.
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, making it very concise. However, it sacrifices essential information for brevity. While front-loaded with the core action, it lacks details about parameters, usage, and behavior, which are necessary for a functional tool.
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 6 parameters (none required) and an output schema, the description needs to explain the purpose and interactions of these parameters to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions. The current one-sentence description is incomplete, leaving the agent to guess how to use the tool effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% parameter description coverage, and the description adds no meaning to the parameters. It does not explain the purpose of 'state', 'title', 'due_on', 'dry_run', 'description', or 'dotenv_path'. Without any parameter context, the agent cannot understand how to set each field meaningfully.
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 identifies the action as 'Plan or create a Gitea milestone used as a sprint for the private workboard,' clearly specifying the verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like gitea_create_work_item and gitea_list_sprint_tasks by noting the 'sprint' and 'private workboard' context. However, the phrase 'Plan or create' is ambiguous about whether it performs one or both actions.
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. It does not mention prerequisites, conditions for creation, or compare it to related tools like gitea_create_work_item or gitea_list_sprint_tasks. Usage is only implicitly conveyed as 'for the private workboard.'
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, description carries full burden. It mentions 'plan or create' and dry_run default true, but does not disclose mutation behavior, permissions, or what happens on actual creation. Lacks important 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.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is a single sentence, concise but lacks any structure or bullet points. It is adequate but could be more informative without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 10 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations, and an output schema that is not described, the tool definition is highly incomplete. The agent would have no understanding of parameter semantics or return values without additional context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description adds no parameter explanations. Among 10 parameters, only title, body, and labels are somewhat guessable; ref, dotenv_path, milestone_id etc. are unexplained. No value added beyond schema titles.
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 states the tool creates a Gitea issue work item, using specific verb and resource. However, it doesn't differentiate from siblings like gitea_create_sprint or gitea_list_work_items, and 'work item' is ambiguous (issue vs task).
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 like gitea_create_sprint or other issue creation tools. Description does not mention prerequisites, context, or 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.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only mentions 'redacted private', hinting at data sensitivity but without disclosing side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits. It does not clarify if the operation is read-only or has destructive potential.
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 concise sentence, but it sacrifices necessary detail for brevity. It is adequately structured but insufficiently informative.
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 optional parameter and existence of an output schema, the description lacks context about the workboard concept and what 'missing values' entails. It does not sufficiently explain the tool's role within the broader system of sibling tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% coverage, and the description does not mention the 'dotenv_path' parameter or its purpose, leaving the agent without necessary context to set it correctly.
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 returns 'redacted private Gitea workboard configuration and missing values', providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from the sibling 'local_workboard_config' by specifying Gitea context, though it could be more precise about what constitutes 'missing values'.
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 such as 'local_workboard_config'. The description fails to mention prerequisites, when not to use, or distinguish from similar tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full behavioral disclosure. It fails to mention side effects (e.g., modifies work item), idempotency, permission requirements, or what dry_run does despite default true.
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, concise sentence. However, it lacks necessary detail for a tool with 12 parameters, sacrificing completeness for brevity.
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 high parameter count, zero schema description coverage, and no annotation, the description is insufficient. It does not explain return values (output schema exists but unmentioned) or provide context needed 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning no parameter documentation in schema. The description does not explain the meaning, format, or constraints of any of the 12 parameters (e.g., role, scope, findings, dry_run).

Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence. It is front-loaded with the action. However, it sacrifices necessary detail for brevity, leaving key aspects unexplained. It could be expanded to include parameter hints or usage context without becoming wordy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 6 parameters with 0% schema coverage and no description of them, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain what each parameter does, provide examples, or mention any output schema details. The agent cannot reliably invoke this tool without additional context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% for 6 parameters, and the description adds no parameter information. The agent has no way to understand the meaning or required format of 'profile', 'template', 'report_id', etc. This is a critical gap.
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 renders a Stimulsoft report in Chromium and exports it as PDF. The verb 'render' and 'export' specify the action, and 'printable Stimulsoft report' identifies the resource. This differentiates it from siblings like 'alterios_validate_stimulsoft_layout' which focuses on validation.
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 doesn't mention prerequisites, contexts, or cases where another tool would be more appropriate. The single sentence only describes the action.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. 'Read and validate' implies safe read but does not disclose side effects, permissions, or return behavior. Minimal behavioral insight.
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?
Extremely concise but at the expense of completeness. A single phrase is insufficient for a tool with 7 parameters. The structure is not front-loaded with key details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 7 undocumented parameters, no parameter descriptions, no annotations, and the presence of an output schema (not described), the description is severely incomplete. It does not help an agent invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description provides no explanation for any of the 7 parameters. Users cannot interpret parameter meaning or defaults (e.g., expected_completed, expected_error_absent).
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 has a specific verb ('Read and validate') and resource ('process completion/error state'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like alterios_start_process (mutation) and other validation tools (e.g., alterios_validate_form_contract).
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. With many sibling tools for validation and process management, the absence of usage context makes selection difficult.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description bears the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It mentions validation and optional reading but does not explain side effects, idempotency, or whether the tool modifies 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?
The description is a single concise sentence that efficiently communicates the core action. However, it could be expanded slightly to improve clarity without losing brevity.
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 7 parameters and an output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not explain the validation outcome, how the optional read works, or how parameters affect behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not explain any of the 7 parameters beyond implying a report_id. Terms like profile, project_id, view_limit, and expected_* are left entirely undefined.
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 validates a report template and optionally reads the source view, but it does not distinguish this from sibling validation tools like alterios_validate_form_contract or alterios_validate_stimulsoft_layout.
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 other validation tools or direct read operations. The description does not specify prerequisites or exclusions.

- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It only states 'read and validate' but does not explain if validation is read-only, what errors occur, or required permissions. The validation process is opaque.
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 single sentence is concise and jargon-free, but for a tool with 7 parameters and no schema descriptions, it is too terse. It fails to include necessary details.
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 high number of parameters (7) and no schema descriptions, the description lacks completeness. It does not explain most parameters, nor the output format despite an existing output schema. The tool is underspecified.
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 implies script_id or name identifies the script, but other parameters (profile, project_id, expected_*) are not explained. Schema coverage is 0%, so the description adds minimal value beyond parameter names.
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 (read and validate), resource (Alterios script), and identification method (by ID or name). It distinguishes from sibling validation tools that target forms, modules, or processes. However, it could be more specific about the validation 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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like alterios_validate_form_contract or alterios_validate_module_contract. No prerequisites or when-not-to-use context is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It does not disclose any behavioral traits (e.g., side effects, permissions, error behavior) beyond the vague verb 'verify'. The output schema exists but is not referenced.
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 (two clauses) but too brief given the tool's complexity (5 parameters, output schema). It would be a 5 if it were equally clear and complete, but here it sacrifices 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?
Given 5 parameters, no annotations, and an output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what verification criteria are used, how parameters influence behavior, or what the output contains. The tool's role among many siblings is unclear.
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 adds almost no meaning to the input schema parameters. While 'work_item_ref' and 'agent_handoff_refs' are implied, the purpose of 'dotenv_path', 'allow_closed', and 'required_roles' is not explained. With 0% schema coverage, the description fails to compensate.
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's action ('verify') and the specific resources ('private Gitea work item' and 'structured agent handoff comments'). This distinguishes it from list/create tools, but could be more precise about what verification 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?

Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of three parameters (one required) and an output schema, the description should provide more context about what the tool returns and how parameters relate. The current description leaves significant gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage for parameters, and the description does not explain any parameters. The three parameters (profile, view_id, project_id) are left undefined, so the agent has no additional meaning beyond the schema's names.
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 purpose with a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('configured entities/joins for an Alterios view'). It differentiates from sibling tools like alterios_get_view (which likely returns view metadata) and alterios_view_data (which returns data). However, the term 'entities/joins' could be more explicit.

The description is a single concise sentence that is easy to parse. However, it could be restructured to add more value without increasing length significantly. It is appropriately front-loaded but lacks depth.
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 7 parameters, no parameter descriptions, no annotations, and an output schema (not shown), the description is insufficient. It does not explain what 'local artifacts' means, how the usage guide is generated, or how to specify the source folder. The tool requires more context to be usable.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no explanation of the 7 parameters (profile, recurse, max_files, project_id, folder_hash, download_files, icons_folder_name). The tool name and one-line description leave the purpose of each parameter completely ambiguous.
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 (export), resource (icons from an Alterios elFinder folder), and outcome (to local artifacts with a generated usage guide). It distinguishes from sibling tools like alterios_list_project_icons and alterios_resolve_project_icon.
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 alterios_list_project_icons or alterios_resolve_project_icon. No context about prerequisites or use cases is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description is the sole source of behavioral info. It indicates a read operation via typed security route but omits details like permissions required, performance, or what happens if the ID doesn't exist. No return value description despite an output schema existing.
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, front-loading the core purpose. It wastes no words but may be too brief. However, it earns a 4 for being succinct and to the point.
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 the presence of an output schema, the description lacks completeness: no explanation of what a user group is, how to obtain an ID, or any context about the typed security route. For a tool with 3 parameters and no annotations, this is insufficient for an agent to use it correctly without additional knowledge.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning parameters are undocumented in the schema. The tool description does not explain any of the three parameters (profile, project_id, user_group_id), leaving the agent without guidance on how to construct arguments.
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 'Read' and the resource 'Alterios user group by ID', distinguishing it from sibling 'alterios_list_user_groups' which lists groups. The addition of 'through the typed security route' provides a specific context, though slightly jargon-ish, the core action is unambiguous.
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., alterios_list_user_groups). No mention of prerequisites or typical scenarios. The description does not help an agent decide to use this over other tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It hints at planning/dry run but does not explain destructive potential, authorization needs, idempotency, or side effects. The term 'replace' suggests mutation, but no details 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to any of the 7 parameters. It fails to explain the purpose of 'tabs', 'dry_run', 'expected_name', 'allow_unmanaged_update', etc., which are critical for correct invocation.
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 verb 'Plan or replace' and the resource 'tabs on an Alterios form', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like alterios_patch_form_cell_listeners or alterios_upsert_form.
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, nor any mention of prerequisites or exclusions. The description only states what it does without contextualizing its 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?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It states the scope (template only, preserve metadata) but does not explain if the operation is destructive, requires authentication, side effects (e.g., validation of template), or the role of dry_run. Incomplete transparency.
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?

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and description adds no explanation for any of the 8 parameters (e.g., dry_run, expected_name, expected_marker). Agent must infer meaning from names alone, which is insufficient for correct invocation.
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 'plan or replace only a report template while preserving report metadata.' It uses specific verb-resource pair and distinguishes from sibling tools like 'alterios_upsert_report' which likely handles full reports.
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. It implies template-only operations but does not mention scenarios where other tools (e.g., alterios_upsert_report) would be more appropriate. Lacks 'when not to use' or conditional context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states read-only nature but omits crucial details like authentication requirements, error handling, or any side effects. For a tool with no annotations, 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no wasted words. However, it could be slightly expanded with key details without harming conciseness.
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 5 parameters, no parameter descriptions, and an output schema that is not described, the description is too sparse to be complete. It does not explain the return format or any constraints.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the description must add meaning. It only mentions 'path' indirectly but does not describe the purpose or defaults of 'params', 'profile', 'project_id', or 'requires_project'. The description adds no value to the parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 5 parameters, no annotations, and an output schema not mentioned, the description is incomplete for an AI agent to use effectively.
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 description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the 5 parameters. It adds no meaning beyond the raw 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 'Validate' and the resource 'Stimulsoft template geometry', with specific aspects (overlaps, page overflow, dynamic-height risks). It distinguishes from sibling validation tools like alterios_validate_form_contract.
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 vs alternatives, no context or exclusions. It only states the purpose.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only states the purpose without disclosing side effects, permissions, or any behavioral traits. Since annotations are absent, the description carries the full burden, which it fails to meet beyond the basic read-only implication.
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. However, it could be slightly more informative 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?
With an output schema present, return values are covered. But the description lacks usage guidelines, parameter clarifications, and behavioral details, making it minimally adequate for a simple list tool but incomplete in context.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It mentions 'profile/project target', which aligns with the required parameters, but does not explain the 'limit' parameter or its default behavior. No additional semantics are provided.
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', the resource 'stored dry-run write plans', and the scope 'for a profile/project target'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools that perform writes or other operations.
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 alterios_fast_live_write or alterios_write_safety_preflight. The description does not include usage context, prerequisites, 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?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It correctly indicates the tool is read-only and local, but lacks details on what 'replay smoke checks' entail, expected duration, permissions required, or output format. The term 'replay' hints at deterministic tests, but more transparency is needed.
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 single-sentence description is concise and front-loaded with the core action. However, it sacrifices completeness for brevity, omitting parameter details and behavioral specifics that could be added without significant bloat.
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 an output schema, the description does not explain return values or how the smoke check results are presented. With 4 configurable parameters and no documentation, the description is far from complete for a testing tool with multiple options.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no information about the four parameters (profile, project_id, include_live, expected_tool_count_min). The agent is left to infer parameter meanings from names alone, which is insufficient for correct invocation.
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 specifies a clear verb ('Run') and resource ('local/read-only MCP replay smoke checks') with context ('after an update'). It differentiates from siblings like alterios_profile_smoke_matrix by emphasizing read-only local smoke checks, though the exact meaning of 'MCP replay' could be clearer.
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 explicitly states the usage trigger ('after an update'), providing clear context. However, it does not mention when not to use this tool or suggest alternative tools for other scenarios, such as alterios_profile_smoke_matrix for different smoke check configurations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It only states what is returned, without mentioning side effects, permissions, or safety profile. The tool appears to be a read operation, but this is not explicitly confirmed.
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, consisting of one sentence that directly states the purpose. No unnecessary words or information, achieving high efficiency.
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 that an output schema exists, the description need not detail return values. However, the description lacks context about when or why to use this tool among many siblings, and could mention that it is a safe read-only operation.
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 no additional description of parameters is needed. The input schema already covers everything. Baseline score for zero-parameter tools is 4.
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 returns the active MCP tool profile and a filtered registry summary, using a specific verb and resource. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from similar sibling tools like alterios_list_profiles, which may list all profiles.
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 instead of alternatives. The description provides no context about prerequisites, limitations, or when to prefer it over other tools.
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 indicates a read operation ('Read'), which is appropriate for a read-only tool. However, with no annotations provided, it does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as pagination, rate limits, or permissions. The existence of an output schema covers return format, but behavioral context is minimal.
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 very concise at one sentence. However, for a tool with six parameters and no schema descriptions, it is too brief and sacrifices completeness. It could be longer to cover essential details.
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 six parameters with no schema descriptions, the description is incomplete. It does not explain how filters interact, pagination behavior, or what constitutes 'fields'. The output schema may help with return structure, but usage context is lacking.
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 schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It only mentions two parameters (content type and field ID) but does not explain the other four (limit, offset, profile, project_id). The description adds little meaning beyond the schema for the majority of parameters.
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 (Read) and the resource (Alterios content type fields). It mentions optional filtering by content type or field ID. Among siblings, this tool is uniquely for listing fields, distinguishing it from other 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 for reading fields with optional filters but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or when not to use it. No guidance on prerequisites or exclusions is 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?
With no annotations provided, the description bears full burden. It states 'read-only', indicating no side effects, but does not disclose other behavioral traits such as auth requirements, rate limits, or performance characteristics. Adequate but not rich.
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 front-loads the purpose. It is concise with no wasted words, though it could be structured to include 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?
Given 8 parameters with no descriptions, the tool is not fully usable without external knowledge. The output schema exists but the description fails to explain how to use parameters correctly, making it incomplete for effective invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description adds no information about the 8 parameters (e.g., profile, refresh, use_cache). It provides zero additional meaning beyond the schema, which is a significant gap.
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 'Return a read-only health summary for forms/views/scripts/BPMN/reports' with a specific verb and resources. The phrase 'before writes' distinguishes it from sibling read tools and emphasizes its role as a pre-write health check.
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 explicitly says 'before writes', indicating this tool should be used prior to performing write operations. However, it does not mention when not to use it or provide explicit alternatives, so guidance is clear but limited.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only states the verb 'List', which implies a read operation. It lacks details on behavioral traits such as pagination, defaults, authentication requirements, or what happens when the milestone parameter is omitted.
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 with no unnecessary words; it is front-loaded with the verb and resource, making it efficient and easy to parse.
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 listing tool with five optional parameters and an output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, the lack of parameter documentation and behavioral details leaves gaps that could hinder correct invocation, especially given the limited context from annotations.
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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but only mentions the milestone parameter. The other four parameters (limit, state, labels, dotenv_path) are left unexplained, providing minimal value 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 identifies the verb 'List', the resource 'Gitea issue work items', and the scope 'for one sprint/milestone', distinguishing it from similar sibling tools like gitea_list_work_items.
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 a specific sprint/milestone but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as gitea_list_work_items or gitea_create_work_item.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It mentions SVG download restrictions (disabled by default, capped when enabled) but does not disclose other behavioral traits like necessary permissions, side effects, or error handling. Adequate but incomplete.
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 two concise sentences that front-load the main purpose and provide key usage details. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.
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 an output schema existing, the tool has 13 parameters with no descriptions and the description fails to explain their roles. The validation process, expected outcomes, and error conditions are not covered, leaving the agent underinformed.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must clarify parameters. It only mentions 'module' and 'exact object IDs' in passing, leaving the other 11 parameters (including profile, view_id, project_id, etc.) unexplained. This is a significant gap.
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 validates one complete module without a project-wide scan, distinguishing it from similar tools. The verb 'validate' and resource 'module' are specific, and the contrast with 'project-wide scan' differentiates from siblings like alterios_validate_form_contract.
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 gives two usage modes (offline check with module, live read with object IDs) but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives among the many sibling validation tools. It 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?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the return value and usage condition, with no mention of side effects, error behavior, permissions, or whether the call is read-only. This is insufficient for a tool with no other behavioral indicators.
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 extraneous information. It is efficient for conveying the core purpose, but could be slightly improved by including a brief note on the optional parameters without adding verbosity.
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 that an output schema exists (so return values are documented elsewhere) and the tool has only two optional parameters, the description covers the basic purpose. However, the complete lack of parameter documentation leaves a significant gap, making the description merely adequate.
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 description coverage is 0%, yet the description provides no explanation for the two optional parameters ('base_dir' and 'dotenv_path'). While both are optional with defaults null, the lack of any guidance means an agent cannot decide whether or how to set them. The description fails to add semantic value 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 uses the specific verb 'Return' and clearly identifies the resource 'local private workboard target' with a condition 'when Gitea is unavailable.' This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'gitea_workboard_config' and 'local_workboard_init.'
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 states the condition for use (when Gitea is unavailable) implying that under normal circumstances one should use 'gitea_workboard_config.' It does not explicitly list alternatives or exclusions, but the context from sibling names provides clear guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It states the tool 'classifies' and 'returns gates', implying it is a safe, non-destructive operation. However, it does not disclose potential side effects, auth requirements, or rate limits, leaving some behavioral ambiguity.
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 action ('Classify a proposed mutating REST call') and the outcome ('return the gates'). 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.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (7 parameters, an output schema, and a specialized preflight role), the description is minimal. While the output schema likely documents return values, the description does not compensate for the lack of parameter guidance or provide context on how 'gates' are defined or used.
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 description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the 7 parameters. While the purpose suggests 'method' and 'path' are key, parameters like 'allow_destructive', 'body', and 'profile' remain unexplained, placing a high burden on the agent to infer semantics from names alone.
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 'Classify' and resource 'mutating REST call', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools that actually execute write operations. The outcome 'return the gates required before execution' further clarifies its role as a preflight gate analysis, not a write operation itself.
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 before executing a mutating call, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., alterios_discover_readonly or other write tools). No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned, leaving room for confusion about when this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
