Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.3.1
- Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, with minor overlap between google_lens and google_lens_detect, and between transcribe_video and transcribe_local. The descriptions help resolve ambiguity.
Naming Consistency3/5Naming is mixed: Google services use a consistent 'google_*' prefix, but other tools use various verb_object patterns (e.g., fetch_emails, list_images) and some just a verb (subscribe, unsubscribe). The conventions are readable but not uniform.
Tool Count3/538 tools is high for a single MCP server, pushing the boundary of manageability. However, each tool serves a distinct utility, and the set covers a broad scope. It feels more like a general-purpose toolkit than a focused server.
Completeness3/5The tool surface covers Google services, media handling, feed management, and web archiving well, but lacks features like sending emails, deleting clips or archives, or managing subscription details. Some domains feel incomplete.
Average 4.1/5 across 38 of 38 tools scored. Lowest: 3.3/5.

How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.
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
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses format support (any FFmpeg-decodable format) and caching behavior (repeat requests are instant). However, it omits critical behavioral details such as error handling for nonexistent files, required permissions, processing time, or whether the operation is destructive. The caching note is helpful 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with a clear main sentence, followed by supported formats, caching note, sample prompts, and argument list. It is front-loaded with the essential purpose. The sample prompts are slightly redundant but do not significantly harm conciseness. Minor improvements could be made by removing repetitive examples.
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 moderate complexity (transcription with model and language options) and the presence of an output schema (so return values need not be detailed), the description covers the key aspects: file, model sizes, language detection, and caching. However, it lacks details on defaults for model_size and language (though they are in schema), and does not mention potential timeout or resource constraints for large files.
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 description adds significant meaning beyond the input schema, which has 0% coverage. It clarifies that 'file_path' must be an absolute path, explains 'model_size' values (tiny/base/small/medium/large) with a default, and specifies that 'language' is optional and auto-detected if empty. This compensates well for the schema's lack of 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?
The description clearly identifies the tool's action ('Transcribe'), the resource ('local audio or video file'), and the method ('using Whisper with timestamps'). However, it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling tool 'transcribe_video', which likely processes remote or different sources. The name provides some differentiation, but the description misses the opportunity to clarify the 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?
The description includes sample prompts but fails to provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'transcribe_video' or other media tools. There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., FFmpeg installation) or situations where a different tool would be more appropriate. The agent is left to infer usage context from the tool name alone.
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 'Fetches and stores latest items', indicating a side effect. However, it does not disclose potential delays, network usage, whether repeated calls are safe, or any rate limits. It provides moderate transparency but lacks depth.
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 relatively concise but includes sample prompts that are not essential. The structure places purpose first, followed by examples and parameter details. It could be more concise by removing the sample prompts, but it is not overly verbose.
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?
The description covers the basic operation and parameter. However, given the availability of an output schema (not shown but present), it does not explain what happens if no new items, error handling, or how it interacts with related tools. For a simple tool it is adequate but not comprehensive.
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 schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It explains the single parameter 'source_type' with a list of valid values (news, reddit, etc.) and the default behavior (empty checks all). This adds meaningful semantics beyond the schema's type string.
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's purpose: 'Check all (or specific) subscriptions for new content. Fetches and stores latest items.' The verb 'check' is specific to fetching new items, and the resource 'subscriptions' is clear. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_feed_items' (which likely retrieves stored items) and 'list_subscriptions' (which lists feeds).
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 sample prompts that hint at usage but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_feed_items' or 'subscribe'. No guidance on when not to use or prerequisites (e.g., must have subscriptions).
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 does not mention rate limits, data freshness, authentication needs, or output structure (though an output schema exists). The description is too brief to compensate for missing 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 short and front-loaded with the core purpose followed by useful sample prompts. Each sentence adds value, though the sample prompts could be considered slightly redundant.
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 simplicity (single input, output schema exists), the description is adequate but misses explanations of how to interpret interest over time or limitations. The samples partially compensate.
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?
With 0% schema coverage, the description adds a brief clarification: 'query: The topic or search term to check trends for.' This provides basic meaning but lacks details like expected format or examples beyond the provided prompts.
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 'Check Google Trends for a topic to see interest over time, related topics, and related queries.' This verb+resource construction provides a distinct purpose differentiated from sibling tools like google_search or google_news.
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?
Sample prompts illustrate appropriate use cases (e.g., trending tech, comparing Python vs JavaScript). While explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tools are not mentioned, the samples provide strong contextual 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 should fully disclose behavioral traits. It states the tool returns thumbnails and source URLs but does not mention authentication, rate limits, or any limitations (e.g., no adult content filtering, no API quotas). This lack of context 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, with a main purpose sentence followed by output characteristics and sample prompts. The sample prompts, while helpful, slightly lengthen the description. The essential information is front-loaded, and every sentence adds value.
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 tool's simplicity (2 parameters, no output schema), the description adequately covers purpose, parameters, and return format (thumbnails and source URLs). It does not cover error handling or edge cases (e.g., no results), but for a straightforward search tool, it is mostly complete.
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 input schema has 0% coverage, meaning the description must explain parameters. The description includes an 'Args' section that clearly defines query as 'The image search query string' and num_results as 'Number of image results to return (default 5, max 10).' This adds meaningful context beyond the schema's type and title.
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 'Search Google Images and return images inline in chat.' It specifies a specific verb (search) and resource (Google Images), and the sample prompts reinforce this. It distinguishes itself from siblings like google_search (web results) and google_lens (image recognition).
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 provides sample prompts that imply when to use (e.g., 'Show me images of...'), but it does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternative tools. The context signals include many sibling tools, but no guidance is given to differentiate them.
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 states 'Creates a timestamped snapshot' but omits potential failures, rate limits, or async behavior. Minimal info on side effects or limitations.
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 well-structured: a concise one-line action, bullet-pointed use cases, sample prompts, and a single param line. No unnecessary text, front-loaded with the main purpose.
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?
For a one-parameter tool with an output schema, the description covers main purpose and usage scenarios. It lacks mention of what the output contains (e.g., archive URL) and any prerequisites like authentication, but overall is fairly complete given the tool's simplicity.
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 single parameter 'url' is described as 'The URL of the webpage to archive.' Given 0% schema description coverage, this adds needed semantics. However, it could be more detailed (e.g., format requirements, supported protocols).
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 'Archive a webpage on archive.today (archive.is) for permanent preservation' and lists specific use cases like preserving news articles or product pages. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like visit_page or google_search.
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 provides sample prompts and suggests when to use (e.g., preserving articles, social media posts), but does not include exclusion criteria or mention alternative tools for similar tasks. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' 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 provided; description misses key behavioral traits like marking emails as read or network dependencies. Mentions auto-detection but not 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Well-structured with sections, though sample prompts add length. Every sentence adds value; front-loaded with provider info.
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?
Complex tool with 6 parameters and no explicit return value description despite having an output schema. Does not explain output format, leaving agent guessing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage, but description explains all 6 parameters in detail with examples for search. Compensates fully for schema gaps.
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 fetches emails via IMAP and lists supported providers. It distinguishes from diverse sibling tools like google_search or ocr_image.
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?
Provides sample prompts and provider-specific instructions (e.g., Gmail app passwords). Lacks explicit exclusions or when-not-to-use guidance, but context is clear.
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 convey behavioral traits. It only states 'search' without mentioning rate limits, data freshness, caching, or error handling. The agent lacks important operational context.
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 concise with a lead sentence, sample prompts, and a clear args section. No wasted sentences; information is front-loaded and well-organized.
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 4 parameters and an output schema, the description covers the essential use case and input formats. It lacks details on edge cases or return value interpretation, but the output schema may fill that gap.
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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds crucial meaning for each parameter: origin, destination, date, and return_date with examples. This compensates well for the lack of schema descriptions.
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 'Search Google Flights for flight options, prices, and travel times', specifying the verb and resource. It differentiates well from sibling tools like google_hotels (hotels) and google_search (general search).
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?
Sample prompts illustrate typical usage but there is no explicit guidance on when not to use this tool or alternatives. The description implies usage through examples but lacks exclusions or context for complex queries.
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, and description lacks behavioral details such as authentication, rate limits, or output format. The existence of an output schema is not mentioned, and description does not disclose operational constraints.
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?
Description is concise with front-loaded purpose, sample prompts, and parameter explanations. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple search tool with two parameters and an output schema, description adequately explains parameters. Lacks usage context like when to prefer this over other search tools, but overall sufficient.
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?
Since schema has 0% description coverage, description adds meaning by explaining query and num_results (default, max). However, could include more detail on query syntax or accepted formats.
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 searches Google Scholar for academic papers, citations, and research. It distinguishes from sibling tools like general web search.
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?
Sample prompts illustrate typical usage, but no explicit guidance on when to use versus alternatives (e.g., google_search, google_books). No when-not-to-use advice.
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 provided, so description must cover behavior. It indicates a search operation with result count limits. Lacks details on read-only nature, rate limits, or result structure, but is adequate for a simple query tool.
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 well-structured: purpose statement, example prompts, then parameter details. Concise but includes relevant examples; front-loaded with purpose. Minor redundancy in examples.
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?
With an output schema present, return values need not be described. Covers main functionality and parameter constraints. Could mention result format or sorting, but acceptable given tool simplicity.
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 description coverage is 0%, so description adds critical meaning: 'query' explained as the search string, 'num_results' with default and max. This compensates well for the missing schema descriptions.
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?
Clearly states it searches Google Books for books, textbooks, and publications. Includes sample prompts that illustrate the tool's scope, and the purpose is distinct from siblings like google_search or google_scholar.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Sample prompts imply usage for book-related queries, but no 'when not to use' or comparison to siblings 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 provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It mentions returning 'recent headlines, articles, and article images' but does not clarify what 'recent' means, any rate limits, date range constraints, or response structure. Missing details on output format or authentication needs.
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 concise with a one-sentence summary, followed by sample prompts and clear parameter documentation. No unnecessary content, well-organized, and front-loaded with essential purpose.
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?
The tool is low complexity with only 2 parameters, and the description covers basic functionality. However, without an output schema, the description should more explicitly detail what is returned (e.g., fields, links, summary). It mentions 'headlines, articles, and article images' but lacks specifics on the structure.
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?
Input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description compensates by explaining the query parameter as 'The news search query string' and documenting num_results with default and max values. This adds meaningful guidance beyond the bare 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 tool searches Google News for recent headlines, articles, and images. Sample prompts illustrate the use case, and the verb 'Search' combined with the resource 'Google News' distinguishes it from sibling tools like general search or other Google services.
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?
Sample prompts provide clear use cases for news queries. However, the description does not explicitly state when to prefer this over sibling tools or mention situations to avoid, though the tool name and context imply news-specific 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 are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions that 'from_language is optional, auto-detected if empty', but lacks details on rate limits, authentication, or side effects. Minimal behavioral disclosure.
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 well-structured with sample prompts and an Args list. It is slightly verbose due to examples, but every sentence adds value. No wasted words.
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?
For a simple translation tool with an output schema, the description covers the essential behavior: what it does, required parameters, and sample usage. It could mention the return format, but the output schema presumably handles that.
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 description coverage is 0%, but the description explains each parameter's role (text, to_language, from_language) and notes the optionality of from_language. This adds meaning beyond the schema's type and title fields.
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 'Translate text from one language to another using Google Translate', with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from all sibling tools, as none are translation-related.
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?
Sample prompts effectively illustrate when to use the tool, such as translating phrases or asking for meanings. No explicit alternatives or exclusions are given, but the context is clear.
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 cover behavioral traits. It states the tool gets current conditions and forecast, but does not elaborate on the forecast duration, response format, or any limitations (e.g., rate limits, region coverage). Since an output schema exists, the return values are handled externally, but the description lacks depth in 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is structured with a main statement, a list of sample prompts, and an args section. The sample prompts are valuable but take up space; they could be condensed. Overall, it communicates the needed information without excessive redundancy.
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 tool's simplicity (one parameter, clear purpose) and the existence of an output schema, the description is fairly complete. It covers what the tool does and how to invoke it. However, it omits any details about the forecast scope (e.g., hourly, daily) or potential caveats (e.g., coverage for specific regions).
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 input schema has 0% description coverage for the only parameter 'location'. The description compensates well by specifying it as 'The city or location to get weather for' and providing concrete examples (e.g., 'Dubai', 'London, UK'). This adds meaning beyond the schema. However, it could be slightly more precise about acceptable formats.
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's purpose: 'Get current weather conditions and forecast for any location.' It uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('weather conditions and forecast'), and the sample prompts reinforce this. Among siblings, there is no other weather tool, so differentiation is not an issue.
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 provides sample prompts that implicitly suggest when to use the tool (e.g., for weather queries like 'What's the weather in Dubai?'). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or direct the agent to alternatives. With 37 sibling tools, explicit usage guidance would be beneficial.
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 fully disclose behavioral traits. It only describes return content (prices, stores, ratings) but omits authtication needs, rate limits, error responses, or any side effects. For a search tool, this minimal disclosure 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
