  • tools/discover.js:23-40 (schema)
    Input schema definition for vibe_discover. Defines the 'command' enum (suggest, search, active) and optional 'query' string for the search command.

  • tools/discover.js:42-119 (handler)
    Main handler function for vibe_discover. Implements three commands: 'suggest'/'active' (shows online/recently active users), 'search' (filters users by query matching handle or one_liner/note), and default (help text listing commands). Returns formatted markdown display.

Tool Definition Quality

C2.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds the command enumeration but fails to explain what each command does or any behavioral traits like rate limits or auth needs.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is very short (one sentence) but lacks structure. It lists commands without front-loading key details, and while concise, it sacrifices clarity.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given no output schema and two parameters, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the purpose of each command, how to use them, or what the tool returns, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented. The description merely reiterates the command enum without adding new meaning or usage context beyond the schema.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description states the tool's purpose as finding people building similar things, which is a clear verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like vibe_dm or vibe_ship through its function, though the command details are vague.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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. The commands (suggest, search, active) are listed but their specific uses or prerequisites are not explained, leaving the agent without context for selection.

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