Senado BR — Brazilian Federal Senate Open Data
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v3.3.3
- Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes due to detailed descriptions, but some overlap exists between tools like `senado_buscar_materias` and `senado_search_processos`, and `senado_contratacoes_lista` vs `senado_contratos`. Descriptions help agents differentiate, but subtle differences may cause misselection.
Naming Consistency4/5Tool names consistently use the `senado_` prefix and snake_case, with a verb-noun pattern. However, verbs mix English and Portuguese (e.g., `buscar`, `listar`, `obter`, `search`), and some are not verbs (e.g., `senado_ceaps`). The pattern is recognizable but not perfectly uniform.
Tool Count2/5With 66 tools, the server far exceeds the typical well-scoped range of 3-15 tools. The high granularity (e.g., separate tools for each e-Cidadania detail) creates unnecessary complexity. Many tools could be consolidated into fewer, more general endpoints.
Completeness5/5The tool surface is remarkably comprehensive, covering legislative tracking, voting, e-Cidadania, contracts, personnel, and administrative data. It covers most anticipated queries for the Brazilian Senate domain, with no obvious gaps.
Average 4.6/5 across 66 of 66 tools scored. Lowest: 4/5.

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
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false. The description adds behavioral context: returns structure { count, normas } with specific fields, and that it returns error if no parameters. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is concise with 4 sentences, each adding value: main function, output, constraint, and links to related tools. No fluff, but could be slightly more streamlined.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given output schema exists, the description covers the return structure, required parameters, and related tools. It does not mention pagination or sorting, but for a query tool this is acceptable. Completeness is good.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% with each parameter having a description. The description repeats the parameter names and adds the constraint that at least one is required, but does not add deeper semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool searches for federal legal norms by tipo, numero, ano, or data. It specifies the resource (normas jurídicas) and distinguishes from siblings by mentioning use of codigo for senado_obter_legislacao and valid types in senado_tabelas_referencia.
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 requires at least one parameter, else returns error. It provides context on when to use this tool vs. related tools, but does not explicitly state when not to use it. The reference to sibling tools for detail and reference adds 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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint as false. Description adds that it returns text, but does not elaborate on other behavioral aspects (e.g., rate limits). With annotations covering safety, a 3 is appropriate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose and return type, followed by prerequisite guidance. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it retrieves the full text of a specific speech, explicitly distinguishes from sibling tools that list speeches, and specifies the return structure.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly instructs to obtain the codigoPronunciamento first via sibling tools (senado_discursos_senador or senado_discursos_plenario). While it doesn't state when not to use, the guidance is clear and sufficient for this retrieval tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the tool's safety profile is clear. The description adds return field details and prerequisite linkage, which is useful but not critical beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no fluff. First sentence covers purpose and return, second gives prerequisite. Highly concise and well-structured.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint as true and destructiveHint as false. The description adds value by detailing the returned fields, including conditional fields like videoUrl ('quando houver'), and the maximum number of pauta items. This goes beyond the annotations and helps the agent understand what to expect.
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 consists of two concise sentences. The first sentence states the purpose and lists returns, the second provides a prerequisite. No unnecessary words, and the structure is front-loaded with the key action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the low complexity (single parameter, no enums), combined with rich annotations and an output schema, the description is complete enough. It covers the return fields and the prerequisite. Minor gaps like explaining status values are not critical for this simple retrieval tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with the parameter 'id' having a description 'ID do evento'. The description reinforces that the ID must be obtained first, but adds no new semantic meaning beyond the schema. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema already documents the parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Obtém o detalhe de um evento interativo do e-Cidadania', which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'senado_ecidadania_listar_eventos' by mentioning that the ID should be obtained from that tool. The return fields are listed, making the purpose unambiguous.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (multiple parameters, type-section combinations, pagination via limite, output schema), the description covers all essential aspects: it explains the purpose, parameter meanings, return structure, limits, prerequisites, and error handling. The output schema exists but the description provides enough context on the return fields.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning beyond the schema by explaining the semantics of each parameter: id is from lists, tipo enumerations with descriptions, secao with restrictions (aditivos only for contratos, acionamentos only for atas), and limite with default and max. This significantly aids 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?
The description explicitly states the tool details a specific section of a contracting. It uses specific verbs and resource names, and distinguishes itself from sibling tools by noting that the id should be obtained from 'senado_contratos' or 'senado_contratacoes_lista'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context on when to use the tool (to get details of a contracting section) and prerequisites (obtain id from list tools). It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the context is sufficient. No explicit alternatives are given, but the prerequisite hints at the workflow.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true, covering safety. The description adds value by explaining pagination limits (max 20 blocks per call in text mode), return structure details per mode, and linkage to other tools for input. It does not disclose any potential side effects beyond the read operation, which aligns with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single paragraph, front-loaded with the primary function. It packs substantial detail without being overly verbose; each sentence contributes necessary information (return structure, mode behavior, input sourcing, filtering). Minor improvement could be breaking into bullet points for readability, but current form is clear and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a read-only tool with six parameters, the description sufficiently covers all essential aspects: how to obtain the required id (via sibling tools), mode behavior, pagination with limits, filtering, and the return structure. The output schema exists, so explaining return fields is appropriate. Given the tool's complexity and the annotation coverage, the description provides complete contextual guidance.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so each parameter has a basic description. The tool description enhances this by explaining the functional impact of parameters: e.g., modo differentiates between summary and full text, tipo selects session vs committee, sequenciaInicio/Fim control pagination, and orador filters by speaker. It also notes default values and the maximum block count in text mode, going beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the tool retrieves official transcriptions (notas taquigráficas) of plenary sessions or committee meetings. It distinguishes from siblings by instructing how to obtain the required id via senado_agenda_plenario or senado_reuniao_comissao, and points to senado_videos_taquigrafia for media, clearly differentiating its purpose.
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?
