Available Tools
32 toolscategorize-promptC
Set category for a prompt
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | Yes | Category name for the prompt | |
| filename | Yes | The filename of the prompt to categorize |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the burden. It only says 'Set category for a prompt' with no mention of overwrite behavior, validation, side effects, or if it is a safe operation. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is one short sentence, which is concise but under-specified for a tool with two parameters and no annotations. It could be slightly expanded to include context while remaining efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and annotations, and the presence of many sibling tools, the description is too minimal. It does not explain return values or constraints, making it incomplete for effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already explains both parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond restating the tool's purpose, thus meeting the baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('set category') and the resource ('prompt'). It is specific but does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'tag-prompt', leaving ambiguity about the distinction between category and tag.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 (e.g., 'tag-prompt'). There is no context on prerequisites or suitable scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
compare-prompt-versionsB
Compare two versions of a prompt and show differences
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | Yes | The filename of the prompt to compare | |
| toVersion | Yes | The target version number to compare to | |
| fromVersion | Yes | The source version number to compare from |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It only states the basic action and output, omitting important details such as whether the operation is read-only, what format the differences are returned in, or any side effects. This is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the purpose. It has no redundant words. However, it could be expanded to include more context without becoming verbose, but as is, it is appropriately concise for a simple tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that the tool has three required parameters and no output schema, the description lacks details about the output format (e.g., diff text, structured object) and any constraints. The description is too minimal to be considered complete for an AI agent to use without additional inference.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage for all three parameters, each clearly explained (filename, fromVersion, toVersion). The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('compare') and the resource ('two versions of a prompt') and indicates the output ('show differences'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list-prompt-versions (which lists versions) and get-prompt-version (which retrieves a single version).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 list-prompt-versions or get-prompt-version. There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create-promptB
Create a new prompt
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| content | Yes | The content of the prompt | |
| filename | Yes | The filename for the new prompt |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only states the action without detailing side effects, permissions, or behavior beyond creation. For a creation tool, this 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with a single sentence, front-loading the core purpose without unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with two well-documented parameters and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it could provide more context about the creation process or uniqueness constraints.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with each parameter described (filename and content). The description adds no further meaning, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a new prompt' uses a specific verb and resource, making the purpose clear. However, it does not distinguish from the sibling tool 'create-prompt-from-template', which could cause ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 'create-prompt-from-template' or 'update-prompt'. No exclusions or context of use are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create-prompt-from-templateC
Create a new prompt file from a template with variables
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | Yes | Filename for the new prompt | |
| variables | Yes | Variables to use in template rendering | |
| templateId | Yes | Template ID to use | |
| addMetadata | No | Whether to add template metadata (default: true) |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description bears full burden. It discloses creation and template rendering but omits side effects, authorization needs, error conditions, or what happens to existing files.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence is concise and front-loaded with key action. Could be more structured, but no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 4 parameters (including nested object), no output schema, and many siblings, the description is incomplete. Missing return value, error behavior, and usage context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions. The description adds 'template rendering' context but no additional detail beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a new prompt file from a template with variables. It distinguishes from generic 'create-prompt' by specifying template usage, but does not explicitly differentiate among siblings like 'render-template' or 'process-template'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 'create-prompt' or 'process-template'. No exclusions or prerequisites mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete-promptC
Delete an existing prompt
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | Yes | The filename of the prompt to delete |
TDQS
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 only says 'delete', which implies destruction, but does not specify if deletion is permanent, reversible, or what happens to associated data like versions or tags. More detail is needed 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with no wasted words. For a simple tool with one parameter, this is acceptable, though a bit more detail could be added without harming conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description is too sparse. It does not mention return values, error states, or side effects. A destructive tool with one parameter should have more context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the parameter 'filename' is fully described in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Delete' and the resource 'prompt', which is specific and unambiguous. It does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like rollback-prompt or archive, but the intent is clear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 (e.g., update-prompt or rollback-prompt). There are no prerequisites or context about required permissions or state. The description lacks usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
export-promptsC
Export prompts to JSON format for backup or sharing
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| format | No | Export format (default: json) | |
| compress | No | Compress export data (default: false) | |
| filterByTags | No | Filter prompts by tags | |
| includeMetadata | No | Include metadata in export (default: true) | |
| filterByCategory | No | Filter prompts by category | |
| includeVersionHistory | No | Include version history in export (default: false) |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not explain side effects (e.g., whether it returns data, saves a file, or prompts the user), nor does it clarify if the operation is read-only or destructive. The phrase 'export to JSON format' is ambiguous regarding the actual output mechanism.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, consisting of a single sentence with no filler words. Every word is functional. It is front-loaded with the core action and purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool complexity (6 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is insufficient. It does not explain the output format, error handling, or any constraints (e.g., file size limits). The user is left guessing how the export works and what to expect.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already documents. Parameters like 'filterByTags', 'includeMetadata', etc., are not elaborated upon; the description does not provide examples or clarify interactions between parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Export prompts to JSON format for backup or sharing' clearly states the action (export) and resource (prompts) with a specified format (JSON) and purpose (backup/sharing). However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like import-prompts or explain scope (all prompts vs filtered), which prevents a perfect score.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 import-prompts or list-prompts. The description lacks any context about prerequisites, such as having prompts to export, or when export is preferred over other operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
favorite-promptA
Add or remove a prompt from favorites
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| action | Yes | Action to perform: add to favorites or remove from favorites | |
| filename | Yes | The filename of the prompt to favorite/unfavorite |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It fails to disclose what happens if already favorited (idempotent or error?), auth requirements, or side effects like notifications. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, focused sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and simple parameters, the description is adequate but leaves questions about return value, error handling, and behavior when prompt doesn't exist. More context would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and both parameters are described. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's enumeration and filename reference, achieving baseline 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Add or remove') and resource ('a prompt from favorites'), clearly stating the dual action. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list-favorites' (listing only) and 'create-prompt' (creation).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The implied usage is for adding/removing favorites, but no explicit guidance on when to use vs siblings (e.g., 'list-favorites' for viewing), nor any exclusion conditions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get-cache-statsB
Read cache statistics for files/metadata/search/templates
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Only states 'Read', implying non-destructive operation, but omits details like whether stats are reset, performance impact, or access requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded with verb, no fluff. Every word is meaningful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, so description should explain return values. Merely states 'Read cache statistics' without describing format, aggregation, or interpretation. Lacks context relative to sibling tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters exist. Schema coverage is 100% vacuously, and with 0 params baseline is 4. Description adds no param info, which is acceptable as none needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description specifies verb 'Read' and resource 'cache statistics' with explicit scope (files/metadata/search/templates). Clearly distinguishes from siblings like get-server-stats or get-rate-limit-status.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 such as get-server-stats or get-rate-limit-status. No context about prerequisites or exclusions.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has no output schema and no annotations, the description is too brief. It fails to specify what the returned stats contain (e.g., limits, remaining, reset times) or the format. An agent cannot fully understand what to expect from the response, making it incomplete for a stat-retrieval endpoint.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the description does not need to add parameter information. The baseline score is 4, and the description satisfies this by not being misleading.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: retrieving 'current rate limiter stats' with specific types (standard/strict/upload). The verb 'Get' and resource 'rate limiter stats' are explicit, and the tool is distinctly different from sibling tools which focus on prompts and templates.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when or when not to use this tool versus alternatives. However, the tool's function is unique among siblings (which are about prompts and server stats), so usage context is implicitly clear. An agent would infer to use it for checking rate limits, but no exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It could be slightly improved by adding context (e.g., 'returns all prompts') but remains efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter, no-output-schema tool, the description minimally defines purpose. However, it lacks details on return format (e.g., list of prompt names vs. full objects), which is a gap for completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are zero parameters and schema coverage is 100%, so the description has no burden to add parameter meaning. Baseline 4 applies as no additional info is needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'List all available prompts' uses a specific verb ('list') and resource ('prompts'), clearly stating the scope as 'all available'. It effectively distinguishes from siblings like 'list-favorites' (which lists only favorited prompts) and 'search-prompts' (which requires filters).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving all prompts, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., 'list-favorites' or 'search-prompts'). No exclusions or when-not-to-use contexts are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list-prompt-versionsB
List all versions of a specific prompt
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | Yes | The filename of the prompt to get version history for |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must provide behavioral insight. It states 'list all versions' but does not clarify if it returns metadata, content, pagination, or what constitutes a version (e.g., timestamps, authors). The lack of output schema exacerbates the opacity.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no superfluous words. It is front-loaded with the key action. A minor improvement could be adding a parenthetical to differentiate from siblings, but it is already efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., list of version IDs, detailed objects) or any context like ordering. For a version listing tool, more context is needed for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% coverage with a descriptive parameter for 'filename'. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's parameter description, so it meets the baseline for high coverage without additional value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'List all versions of a specific prompt' clearly states the verb (list) and resource (versions of a specific prompt). It naturally distinguishes from siblings like 'get-prompt-version' (single version) and 'list-prompts' (all prompts).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 (e.g., get-prompt-version, compare-prompt-versions). The description lacks context about prerequisites or selecting this over other version-related tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list-template-categoriesA
List all available template categories in the template library
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It implies a read-only, non-destructive operation but does not disclose any limitations, ordering, or response format. For a zero-parameter tool, this is minimally adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded and immediately conveys the tool's purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given zero parameters and no annotations, the description covers the core functionality. However, it lacks information about the return value (e.g., list of category names or objects), which would be helpful for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are no parameters in the input schema, so the baseline is 4. The description correctly implies that no parameters are needed, adding no further detail because none is required.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (list) and the resource (template categories), and it distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'list-prompts' and 'list-templates-by-category' by specifying categories.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 'list-templates-by-category' or 'list-prompts'. The agent must infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list-templates-by-categoryB
List all templates in a specific category
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| category | Yes | Category ID to list templates from |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It implies a read-only operation but does not disclose pagination, error handling, or what 'all' means. Minimal behavioral context beyond the basic function.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded, no wasted words. Every part is essential.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, so description should compensate. Missing details like return format, pagination, or error behavior. For a list tool, this is incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with one parameter described as 'Category ID to list templates from'. Description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'List all templates in a specific category', using a specific verb ('list') and resource ('templates') with a filter ('by category'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list-template-categories' (which lists categories) and 'search-templates' (search).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. Does not mention when not to use it, prerequisites, or advantages over siblings like 'search-templates' or 'get-template-details'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list-template-variablesB
List all variables in a template prompt
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | Yes | The filename of the template prompt to analyze |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It only states a read operation but does not disclose behavioral traits like side effects, permissions, or rate limits, leaving significant gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, clear sentence with no unnecessary words. While concise, it could be slightly more informative without losing brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description lacks information about the return value (e.g., list of variable names vs. values). With no output schema, this omission reduces completeness for a simple listing tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% (one parameter with a description). The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, which already explains the parameter. Baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'List' and the resource 'all variables in a template prompt'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list-prompts and list-template-categories.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 process-template or get-template-details. The context of usage is entirely implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
process-templateC
Process a prompt template with advanced logic (conditions, loops, functions)
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| filename | Yes | The filename of the template prompt | |
| variables | Yes | Object with variable names as keys and values (supports nested objects and arrays) |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description only mentions 'advanced logic' without clarifying what that entails (e.g., side effects, idempotency, permissions needed). The behavioral traits are largely opaque.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the core action, though it could be more detailed without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Without an output schema, the description should explain return values or side effects. The tool involves 'advanced logic' but no details on outputs, errors, or behavioral impacts, leaving significant gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for both parameters. The description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool processes a prompt template, and 'with advanced logic' hints at its unique capability compared to simpler siblings like 'render-template'. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 'render-template'. The description implies complexity but does not state prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
render-templateC
Render a template with provided variables
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| variables | Yes | Variables to use in template rendering | |
| templateId | Yes | Template ID (format: category.template) |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden. It only states 'render a template' without disclosing whether the operation is read-only, what side effects exist, or what the output format is. This is insufficient for an AI agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loads the action. However, it could be longer to include necessary details without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has no output schema, so the description should explain the return value. It does not mention what the rendered result looks like (e.g., a string). Also, the nested 'variables' object is not elaborated upon despite being required.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema covers both parameters with descriptions. The description adds no new meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline score applies given 100% coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'render' and the resource 'template', with mention of 'provided variables'. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'process-template' which may have similar functionality.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 'process-template' or 'get-prompt'. The description does not mention any prerequisites, context, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rollback-promptB
Rollback a prompt to a specific version
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| version | Yes | The version number to rollback to | |
| filename | Yes | The filename of the prompt to rollback |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states the action without detailing whether it is destructive, whether it creates a new version, what permissions are needed, or any side effects. This leaves the agent uncertain about the tool's impact.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of seven words, containing no filler or redundancy. While extremely short, it is efficient and directly states the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the potential destructiveness of a rollback operation and the lack of output schema or annotations, the description is too sparse. It omits critical context about behavior, return values, and prerequisites for safe use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions, so the schema already provides adequate meaning. The tool description adds no extra semantics beyond what the schema already communicates.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Rollback' and the resource 'a prompt' with a specific aspect 'to a specific version'. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like delete-prompt, update-prompt, and list-prompt-versions by focusing on version-based reversal.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 like update-prompt or list-prompt-versions. There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or context for choosing rollback over other operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search-promptsA
Search prompts by filename or content with intelligent fuzzy matching
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | Search query (supports typos and partial matches) | |
| threshold | No | Similarity threshold (0-1, lower = more permissive, default: 0.3) | |
| maxResults | No | Maximum number of results (default: 10) | |
| searchInMeta | No | Whether to search in metadata (tags, category) (default: true) | |
| searchInContent | No | Whether to search in prompt content (default: true) |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description fully carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only mentions 'intelligent fuzzy matching' without explaining how matching works, default behavior, rate limits, or side effects. For a search 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise and to the point. Every word is useful, no fluff. It front-loads the key action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 5 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should provide more context about return format, pagination, or order. It only hints at matching behavior. The tool is under-described for the complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The tool description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema; it only repeats the concept of fuzzy matching. No extra value is provided for parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Search', the resource 'prompts', and specifies that it searches by 'filename or content' with 'intelligent fuzzy matching'. This distinguishes it from siblings like 'list-prompts' (which likely lists all prompts) and 'search-templates' (different resource).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use when you need fuzzy matching over filename or content, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list-prompts' or 'search-templates'. The context from the purpose provides some guidance, but lack of explicit when-not-to-use or exclusion conditions prevents a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search-templatesB
Search templates in the template library
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| tags | No | Filter by tags | |
| limit | No | Maximum number of results (default: 10) | |
| query | Yes | Search query | |
| category | No | Filter by category |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only states the action, not side effects (none expected for search), permissions, or behavioral details like pagination or result ordering.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no fluff. Front-loaded with verb and resource. Every word is necessary.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema exists, so description should explain return format. It does not. Parameters are covered by schema. The description is adequate but misses details like default limit (though schema says 10) or result ordering.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so each parameter has a description. The tool description adds no extra parameter meaning beyond schema, meeting baseline but not exceeding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Search templates in the template library' clearly states the action (search) and resource (templates), distinguishing from sibling 'search-prompts' by specifying templates. However, it does not specify search scope or how it differs from list operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 like 'list-templates-by-category' or 'search-prompts'. The description provides no context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
tag-promptC
Add tags to a prompt
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| tags | Yes | Array of tags to add to the prompt | |
| filename | Yes | The filename of the prompt to tag |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Add tags' but does not explain whether tags are appended or replaced, what happens if the prompt doesn't exist, or if there are any side effects. This lack of detail is insufficient for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, consisting of a single clear sentence. It is front-loaded and to the point, but it may be too brief, missing important details that could improve clarity without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool (2 parameters, no output schema), the description is minimally acceptable but lacks contextual details such as expected behavior when the prompt is not found or if tags already exist. It adequately covers the basic action but leaves gaps for edge cases and error handling.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% coverage with parameter descriptions. However, the description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides. The term 'tags' in the description mirrors the schema's 'Array of tags', offering no extra clarity on format or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (add tags) and the resource (a prompt), making the tool's purpose easy to understand. It is specific enough to distinguish from sibling tools like 'favorite-prompt' or 'update-prompt', though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from the latter which might also modify tags.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 'update-prompt' which could also be used to modify tags. The description does not specify prerequisites, context, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
update-promptC
Update an existing prompt
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| content | Yes | The new content for the prompt | |
| filename | Yes | The filename of the prompt to update |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Update', implying mutation, but does not specify if it's a full replacement, any side effects, or permission requirements. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise but lacks useful context. It is not verbose, but it does not earn its place fully as it adds little beyond the tool name.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple tool with two parameters and no output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not explain the nature of the update or provide any additional context needed for correct use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% for both parameters (filename and content). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Update' and the resource 'prompt', distinguishing it from sibling tools like create-prompt and delete-prompt. However, it does not specify what fields can be updated beyond what the schema provides.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. For example, it does not mention that this tool modifies an existing prompt, while create-prompt is for new prompts and delete-prompt for removal.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Each tool targets a distinct operation or resource (prompts, versions, templates, favorites, tags, categories, import/export, server stats). No two tools have overlapping purposes, ensuring clear differentiation.
All tool names follow a consistent kebab-case verb-noun pattern (e.g., list-prompts, get-server-stats, create-prompt-from-template), making the set predictable and easy to navigate.
32 tools is excessive for a prompt management server. While distinct, many tools cover auxiliary features (stats, policy, cache, rate limits) that could be consolidated or omitted, making the surface overly large.
The server covers the full lifecycle of prompts: CRUD, versioning, tagging, categorization, favorites, search, templates, import/export, and even server monitoring. No obvious missing functionality for a prompt manager.
