Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.3.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: fixed-amount payment link, flexible tip jar, and account status. There is no overlap or ambiguity.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (create_payment_link, create_tip_jar, get_account_status), making it easy to infer function from name.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 3 tools, the server is tightly scoped to its 'zero setup' philosophy, covering the essential operations without unnecessary bloat.

    Completeness4/5

    The server covers creation of two payment types and status retrieval, but lacks update/delete capabilities for payment links or tip jars, which slightly limits agent workflows.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

  • Behavior4/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses non-custodial nature, direct settlement, and optional email for dashboard. However, it does not mention rate limits, authentication, 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.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the key purpose, and every sentence adds value without redundancy.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    For a tool with 6 parameters and no output schema, the description adequately explains inputs and what the user gets back (pay_url, button, manage_url). It is sufficient for an AI agent to understand usage.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning beyond the schema by explaining the non-custodial aspect, default values, and optional functionality, e.g., email for dashboard.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states it creates a one-time crypto payment link with zero setup, distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_tip_jar (tips) and get_account_status (status). The verb 'Create' and resource 'payment link' are explicit.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description specifies when to use (no account, no API key) but does not explicitly state when not to use or provide alternatives beyond the implied context. It clearly sets expectations for what the tool does.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    With no annotations, the description carries full burden and discloses key behaviors: idempotent per wallet address, non-custodial, funds settle directly, and updates the same jar on repeat calls. Could mention potential side effects of updates (e.g., overwriting settings) but overall strong.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Two sentences with no fluff. First sentence packs purpose and key value propositions; second covers idempotence and non-custodial nature. Every part earns its place.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    For a tool with 8 parameters (1 required) and no output schema, the description covers overall function, return types, and behavioral traits. It lacks error cases or edge conditions, but completeness is adequate for a creation tool.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 88% (high), so baseline is 3. The description adds context beyond schema: confirms the address parameter is the destination and that funds are non-custodial, and suggests amount parameters relate to payer choice. This adds meaningful semantic value.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states it creates a reusable 'pay what you want' tip jar with zero setup, and specifies return values (shareable URL, embeddable button, manage_url). It distinguishes from siblings like create_payment_link (likely fixed amounts) and get_account_status (different function).

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description says 'Create a reusable tip jar with ZERO setup' which implies when to use. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools or state when NOT to use this tool. The context is clear but lacks exclusions.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Without annotations, the description carries full burden. It specifies exactly what is returned (settlement details, tip jars, totals, invoice list), which discloses the tool's output. However, it does not explicitly state that the operation is read-only.

    Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

    Two sentences, zero wasted words. The purpose is front-loaded ('Look up a keyless Shieldz account'), and the output is concisely listed.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness5/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    For a simple, one-parameter lookup tool with no output schema or annotations, the description covers all essential aspects: input source, output contents (structured JSON). No additional information is needed.

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

    Parameters5/5

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

    The schema describes the required parameter 'manage_token' as the token from sibling tools. The description reinforces this by referencing the same origin, adding practical context beyond the schema. Schema coverage is 100%.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

    Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

    The description clearly states the verb 'look up' and the resource 'keyless Shieldz account' by a specific token. It distinguishes from sibling tools (create_payment_link, create_tip_jar) by focusing on retrieval vs. creation.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description explains the token origin ('returned when you create a payment link or tip jar'), linking to sibling tools. It implies use after creation, but does not explicitly state when not to use or provide alternative conditions.

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