Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.2
- Disambiguation3/5
Many tools have overlapping purposes (e.g., multiple price-finding tools at different granularities, multiple inspiration tools). While individual descriptions are detailed, the high number of tools (66) and similar intents (finding deals, comparing destinations) create ambiguity for an agent selecting the right one.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with the 'tool_' prefix and snake_case (e.g., tool_best_month_to_visit, tool_calculate_flight_carbon). No mixing of conventions or irregular names.
Tool Count2/566 tools is excessively high for a single server. The typical well-scoped range is 3-15 tools. This many tools overwhelm an agent and suggest many could be merged or split into separate servers.
Completeness4/5The server covers a vast breadth of travel planning domains (flights, hotels, visas, weather, events, etc.). However, gaps exist: no booking capabilities, no car rental, and no detailed travel insurance tools. The surface is strong for research/planning but misses some execution steps.
Average 4.2/5 across 66 of 66 tools scored. Lowest: 3.5/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It only mentions 'No auth required.' It omits details about rate limits, error handling, output format, or any side effects, which is insufficient for a tool with no other documentation.
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 extremely concise with no redundant information. Every sentence serves a purpose: stating the function, noting auth, and explaining the parameter. It is front-loaded and efficient.
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 simple with one parameter, but the description lacks information about the return value (e.g., coordinates format). Since there is no output schema, this omission affects completeness. Otherwise, it covers the core functionality adequately.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description's parameter explanation adds essential meaning. It provides an example format (e.g., 'Paris, France') and clarifies the purpose of place_name. Although minimal, it 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 the tool converts a city or place to coordinates, which is a specific and distinct purpose. It uniquely identifies the tool's function among siblings (e.g., no other geocoding tool exists).
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 notes 'No auth required,' but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like tool_verify_place. It lacks context for appropriate use cases or exclusions.
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 describe behavior. It mentions coverage (~270 cities) and that it's free and no auth, but lacks details on output format, error handling for unknown cities, rate limits, or whether it returns raw scores or interpreted results.
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 clear structure: a one-line differentiator, a catchy phrase, a brief usage note, and parameter explanations. The catchy phrase adds value for understanding the tool's purpose without excessive fluff.
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?
The tool has no output schema and low schema coverage, so the description should provide more context about the return structure. Mentioning 'quality of life scores' without explaining the scale or format leaves the agent guessing about the response shape.
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 provides examples for the 'city' parameter (e.g., 'Lisbon', 'Tokyo', 'San Francisco') and explains 'home_currency' as 'Your home currency (USD, EUR, etc.)', adding significant meaning beyond the schema's property titles and defaults.
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 provides cost-of-living index and quality of life scores for a city, with a catchy phrase and coverage of ~270 cities. It is distinct from sibling tools like tool_convert_currency or tool_score_destinations, which have different focuses.
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 implies usage via the example 'Your $100/day = lavish in Lisbon, broke in London' and states 'Free, no auth,' but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or provide exclusion criteria.
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?
Discloses 'No auth required', which is useful. However, with no annotations, the description fails to mention rate limits, data source, accuracy, or what the forecast covers (e.g., daily/hourly). It is moderately transparent 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short and front-loaded with the core purpose and authentication note. The Args list is concise but could be integrated more efficiently. No wasted sentences.
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?
No output schema exists, and the description does not specify what the tool returns (e.g., temperature, conditions, units). This omission is significant for a forecasting tool, leaving the agent uncertain about the response format.
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 Args section in the description specifies the date format 'YYYY-MM-DD' for start_date and end_date, which is not present in the schema (only titles). This adds meaning beyond the schema titles, though the other parameters (latitude, longitude) are not elaborated.
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 'Get weather forecast for travel dates', which is a specific verb+resource combination. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like tool_find_aurora_destinations or tool_get_destination_info by focusing narrowly on weather forecasting for date ranges.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it differs from other weather-related tools among the many siblings.
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, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits like read-only vs destructive, permission requirements, or rate limits. It only states the core functionality without any 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, front-loaded with a one-sentence summary, followed by a clear, structured list of arguments. Every line adds value without redundancy.
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?
While parameter descriptions are good, the description lacks information about the output format (no output schema) and does not provide usage context or behavioral details. For a tool with 8 parameters and no nested objects, it is moderately complete but has gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by listing all 8 parameters with clear examples and meanings (e.g., 'destination: City and country (e.g., "Paris, France")'). It explains optional parameters and their defaults, adding value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it generates a data-backed day-by-day itinerary with real activities and weather. The name 'tool_plan_itinerary' aligns perfectly. It is distinct from sibling tools like 'tool_plan_trip_package' which likely plans a full trip package.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as 'tool_plan_trip_package' or 'tool_optimize_budget'. No when-not-to-use advice or context 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 carries the full burden. It discloses that it calculates flight+hotel costs and ranks destinations, but does not mention any behavioral traits like data freshness, caching, failure modes, or required permissions.
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 one-line purpose, an inspiration example, and a parameter list. No wasted sentences, though the parameter list is somewhat lengthy and could be formatted more cleanly.
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 10 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers inputs well but omits the output format (e.g., what the ranking looks like) and any prerequisites or edge cases.
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 tool description adds brief explanations for all 10 parameters (e.g., 'origin: Departure airport IATA code (e.g., "JFK")'), including 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 states 'Ranks destinations under a total budget with flight + hotel costs calculated', specifying the verb (ranks), resource (destinations), and constraint (budget). This clearly differentiates it from siblings like tool_cheap_anywhere_from or tool_score_destinations.
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 gives an inspiration example ('I have $1500, where can I go?') implying when to use it, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives among the many sibling destination tools.
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 discloses the core operation and risk but fails to mention behavioral traits like read-only nature, whether results are cached or real-time, or if any action is taken beyond searching.
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?
Compact description with a clear purpose sentence, a short warning, and a list of parameters. No redundant information. Could be slightly more structured with parameter formatting, but effective.
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 7 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the tool's purpose and key behavior (savings, risk). Lacks details on return format, preconditions, or side effects. Adequate but not comprehensive.
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?
Args section adds examples and explanations for most parameters (e.g., IATA code format, date format, cabin class options). However, 'adults' and 'currency' are only minimally described, and schema has no descriptions. Modest compensation for missing schema coverage.
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 finds savings by booking two separate tickets through a hub. Differentiates from siblings like tool_find_skiplagged_fares by specifying split-ticket strategy and mentioning expected savings percentage.
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?
Warns about missed-connection risk, guiding agents to surface risks before booking. Does not explicitly state when not to use or compare to alternatives, but the warning provides clear context for prudent 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 full burden. It explains parameter meanings but does not disclose whether it is read-only, any side effects, sorting, pagination, or output format. The behavioral traits are mostly implied.
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 extremely concise: two sentences, an example query, and parameter details. Every sentence adds value, with the purpose front-loaded. 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?
Given the tool's low complexity (single parameter, no output schema, no nested objects), the description is nearly complete. It could optionally mention the output format (e.g., list of country names), but what is provided is sufficient for an agent to understand the core functionality.
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 adds significant meaning: it explains the range 1-4, default 3, and defines what each level represents (3=Reconsider Travel, 4=Do Not Travel). This goes beyond the schema's minimal 'Min Level' label.
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 it lists countries at advisory level X or above, with a concrete example query 'What countries should I avoid right now?'. This verb+resource combination is specific and differentiates from sibling tool_get_travel_advisory which targets a single country.
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 an example query but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like tool_get_travel_advisory or tool_visa_free_destinations. No guidance on when not to use it or prerequisites.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only states basic functionality. It does not disclose authentication needs, read-only nature, side effects, or rate limits. Important behavioral traits are missing.
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 brief and well-structured, with a one-line purpose followed by parameter documentation. Every sentence is necessary and no 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 list tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description provides core functionality and parameter details. It could mention output format or pagination, but overall is reasonably 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 zero description coverage, but the description adds explicit filter values (planning, booked, completed, cancelled) and default behavior (omit for all), significantly enhancing parameter meaning.
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 lists the traveler's saved trips with checklist progress, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools that save, update, delete, or get trip status.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like tool_get_trip_history or tool_get_trip_status. The description does not include context, exclusions, or when to avoid using this tool.
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 bears full responsibility. It discloses the parameters and the action but fails to mention idempotency, read-only nature, side effects, or what happens if the route does not exist.
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 extremely concise, using a single sentence for the action and a line for parameters. Every word adds value, no redundancy.
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?
Given no output schema, the description should explain the return value (e.g., boolean) or error handling. It does not, leaving the agent uncertain about what to expect after invocation.
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 by specifying each parameter as an 'IATA code', compensating for the lack of schema descriptions. The two parameters are clearly explained.
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 'Verify a flight route exists between two airports,' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like search_flights or fare_calendar by focusing on route existence verification.
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 implies usage when checking route existence but does not explicitly state when to use versus alternatives or any exclusions. No guidance on prerequisites or result interpretation.
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 full burden. It states 'live rates' and 'no auth required', suggesting a read-only, real-time operation. However, it does not disclose specific constraints such as supported currencies, rate freshness, or potential 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: two clear sentences followed by an Args list. Every sentence adds value, with no wasted words. The key information is front-loaded.
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 (3 params, no output schema), the description is minimally adequate. It explains the purpose, auth requirement, and parameter examples, but omits return value details and potential error scenarios.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. The Args section lists parameters with example values (e.g., 'USD', 'EUR'), adding meaning beyond schema titles. However, it lacks detail on amount type or currency format, and does not explain all parameter semantics thoroughly.
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 verb 'convert' and resource 'currencies', and highlights live rates. It distinguishes from sibling tool_get_exchange_rates, which probably only provides rates, while this tool actually converts amounts.
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 notes that no auth is required, but does not explicitly guide when to use this tool over alternatives like tool_get_exchange_rates. The usage context is implied but not reinforced with exclusions.
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 only states 'Delete a saved trip' without disclosing whether the action is irreversible, any required permissions, or error conditions. For a destructive operation, 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, consisting of a single sentence and an argument line. It is front-loaded and contains no unnecessary information.
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 simplicity of the tool (one parameter, no output schema), the description covers the basics but lacks details on return values, error handling, and idempotency. 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 input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description adds value by specifying that trip_id is an '8-char trip id', which provides format guidance not present in the schema. However, it could be more explicit about the exact format.
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 'Delete a saved trip' which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like tool_save_trip and tool_update_trip.
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 indicates the tool's purpose but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites like the trip needing to exist.
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?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral transparency. It explains the conceptual output ('Shows total vs simple round-trip') but omits critical details: whether the tool is read-only, what data sources it uses, any limitations (e.g., single vs. multiple options), or potential side effects. This lack of transparency could lead to incorrect expectations.
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 highly concise: a one-line purpose, a clarifying example, a contrast note, an input format note, and a cleanly formatted parameter list. Every sentence serves a distinct purpose without repetition, making it efficient for an agent to parse.
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?
The description lacks crucial output details: it only mentions 'Shows total vs simple round-trip' but does not describe the response structure, whether results are multiple options or a single comparison, or how to interpret the output. With no output schema, this omission leaves significant ambiguity for the agent.
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?
The schema has 0% description coverage for its 8 parameters, but the description includes an extensive 'Args' section clarifying each parameter with examples, formats (IATA codes or city names, YYYY-MM-DD dates, cabin_class enum), and defaults. This fully compensates for the schema gaps, adding high-value semantic context.
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: 'Plan an open-jaw trip: fly into one city, overland, fly out from another'. It gives a concrete example (JFK→Rome, train to Paris, Paris→JFK) and distinguishes from simple round-trips by mentioning comparison. This makes the unique functionality immediately clear.
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 implies usage for multi-city itineraries with an overland segment but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like search_flights or find_split_ticket. There is no guidance on prerequisites or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer the use case from the description.
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?
Description discloses that no authentication is required and lists output fields (currency, language, timezone). Since no annotations are provided, this is helpful. However, it lacks details on data source, freshness, or any other behavioral traits like rate limits or caching.
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?
Extremely concise: two sentences for the purpose and a brief Args section. No redundant words, and the key information is front-loaded. 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 (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers the essential aspects: what the tool does and its input. However, it does not describe the output structure, which would be helpful for an agent to parse the result. Still, for a straightforward info tool, it is mostly complete.
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?
The description fully explains the only parameter 'country_name' with a clear example ('Japan'). This adds significant meaning beyond the schema, which only specifies type and required status. Schema coverage is 0%, so this explanation is essential and fully compensates.
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?
Clearly states the tool returns essential country info (currency, language, timezone). The verb 'get' and resource 'destination info' are specific. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like get_cost_of_living, get_exchange_rates, or get_language_phrasebook, which may also return subsets of this info.
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?
Only mentions 'No auth required' as a guideline. Does not specify when to use this tool over alternatives, such as when a summary is needed versus detailed information from other tools. No guidance on context or prerequisites.
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?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It only mentions 'No auth required', but omits details like what happens on invalid input, rate limits, or whether rates are live/historical.
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?
Extremely concise: two short sentences plus parameter docs. The purpose is front-loaded, and every sentence serves a purpose without extraneous information.
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?
For a simple read-only tool with only two parameters, the description is mostly adequate but lacks explanation of the return format (e.g., rates vs conversion) and any caveats about data freshness or error handling.
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 both parameters concisely: base_currency with example and target_currencies with comma-separated format and default behavior. This adds value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

- Behavior3/5
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 describes the output (operators, cost, etc.) and fallback behavior, but does not explicitly state whether the tool is read-only, has side effects, or is safe. It also lacks details on rate limits or data sources.
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 front-loaded with a clear summary paragraph, followed by a structured 'Args' section. It is concise but could be slightly more efficient by integrating parameter explanations without separate formatting. Overall, it earns its length.
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?
With no output schema, the description should explain the return format. It describes the content (operators, cost, etc.) but does not specify whether the guide returns structured data (e.g., JSON) or plain text. Coverage and fallback are addressed, but the exact output structure is missing.
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 description coverage is 0%, yet the description includes an 'Args' section that explains each parameter with examples and reasoning. For instance, 'country' accepts multiple formats, 'trip_duration_days' affects recommendations, and 'data_heavy' conditions are clearly described, adding significant value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it provides a local SIM/eSIM guide for a country, listing specific details like operators, cost, and activation. It specifies coverage (25+ countries) and fallback behavior, distinguishing it from sibling tools that focus on flights, visas, or other travel aspects.
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?

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 carries the full burden. It explains the parameters and overall function but does not disclose behavioral details such as scoring methodology, error handling, performance, or whether it requires external data. The description is adequate for basic understanding but incomplete for a black-box 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?
The description is concise, with a clear DIFFERENTIATOR headline and a structured list of arguments. The marketing phrase 'killer tool' is minor fluff but does not detract. Overall, it is efficient and easy to scan.
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 complexity (6 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is partially complete. It covers all parameters but fails to describe the output format (e.g., returns a ranking list, scores, or something else). It also lacks guidance on edge cases (invalid destinations, missing data). This is a notable gap for a tool that produces a ranked result.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does so excellently by providing detailed explanations for each parameter under Args: including format (e.g., comma-separated destinations, YYYY-MM-DD dates, key:weight pairs for weights, enumerated options for weather_pref, optional origin). This adds significant value beyond the raw 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 it is a multi-objective destination ranking tool that scores destinations on cost, weather, safety, events, and quality of life. The phrase 'The killer where should I actually go? tool' and the DIFFERENTIATOR label effectively distinguish it from sibling tools like compare_destinations or score_nomad_cities.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use for holistic destination comparison with the DIFFERENTIATOR and purpose statement. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternative tools for specific needs (e.g., if only cost matters). The context is clear but lacks explicit when-not guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool factors in specific elements and returns a recommendation, but it does not mention whether it accesses external data, modifies any state, or has limitations (e.g., accuracy assumptions). The description gives some behavioral context but lacks completeness for a fully transparent 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 a concise introductory sentence and a clearly formatted Args block. It is front-loaded with the decision question. The Args block is somewhat lengthy but necessary given the lack of schema descriptions. No superfluous sentences.
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 7 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers the essential purpose and parameter semantics well. It lacks details about the output format (the 'recommendation') and potential error cases, but for a calculation tool, this is acceptable. The description is largely complete for effective use.
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 description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates fully by providing detailed parameter explanations in the Args block. Each parameter is explained with its role, examples (e.g., programs, categories), and context (e.g., 'taxes_fees_on_award' default 0). This adds significant meaning beyond the bare type information in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool decides between cash and points for a booking, and returns a recommendation. The verb 'calculate' and the specific resource 'points_or_cash' make the purpose unambiguous. It is distinct from sibling tools like estimate_points_value or compare_points_programs, which do not directly compare cash vs points for a given booking.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for making a cash-vs-points decision by listing factors considered (cpp, opportunity cost, points-back earning). It does not explicitly state when not to use it or suggest alternatives, but the context is clear given the tool's purpose.
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?

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 carries full burden. It discloses that the tool saves a profile for reuse, indicating persistence, but does not specify permissions, idempotency, or behavior if the profile already exists. Parameter format details are helpful but do not fully compensate for missing 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured: a concise purpose line followed by a clear bullet list of parameters with format guidance. Every sentence adds value, and the information is front-loaded.
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 tool with 10 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers parameter formats and tool purpose adequately. It lacks detail on return values, error handling, or what happens on repeated calls, but the existence of sibling tools (update, get) mitigates gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, which it does by providing explicit formats (e.g., 'Comma-separated IATA (e.g., "JFK,EWR")', 'Comma-separated ISO-2 (e.g., "US" or "US,IN")') for each parameter. It gives examples and clarifies expected values. However, it does not mention defaults or which parameters are optional, missing some meaning.

The mutative nature is implied but not explicitly stated.
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 long due to 19 parameters, but the opening summary ('Update profile fields...') provides a high-level overview. The list format is clear and each line is necessary. Could be slightly more structured (e.g., grouping related params), but it is functional and not wasteful.
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 complexity (19 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description covers parameter semantics well. However, it lacks details on the return value or response format, and does not explain what happens if no parameters are passed. The instruction 'Pass only what changed' partially addresses this.
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?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, but the description fully compensates by listing each parameter with a clear one-liner explaining purpose and format (e.g., 'comma-separated IATA', 'YYYY-MM-DD'). This adds significant value beyond the schema titles 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 must fully disclose behavior. It mentions coverage of 17 languages and provides parameter details, but does not clarify data sources, real-time requirements, or output format. The basic read operation is implied, but limited depth prevents a higher score.
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 highly concise: three short sentences plus an Args list. The first sentence states the purpose, the second adds coverage details, and the Args list organizes parameters efficiently. No redundant or vague sentences.
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 tool with no output schema, the description is nearly complete. It explains the purpose, covered languages, and all parameters. Missing elements: return format (e.g., JSON, list of phrases) and confirmation of offline or real-time behavior. Still, it covers essential user-facing needs.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It successfully explains each parameter: destination as 'City or country name', language_code with a list of 17 codes, and category with enumerated values. This provides excellent guidance beyond the schema's bare type declarations.
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 function: 'Get a phrasebook for the local language at a destination.' It specifies the resource (phrasebook) and verb (get), and distinguishes it from sibling tools which focus on flights, visas, etc., none of which offer language phrasebooks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for travelers needing essential phrases, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives. However, given that no sibling tool provides phrasebooks, the context is clear. A minor improvement would be adding explicit conditions like 'For quick language assistance during travel.'
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

This adds significant meaning beyond the schema titles.
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: 'List all countries a passport can enter without a traditional pre-arranged visa.' It uses a specific verb ('list') and resource ('countries a passport can enter'), and distinguishes from sibling tools like tool_check_visa_requirement and tool_check_transit_visa.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states when to use this tool ('broad destination discovery') and when to use alternatives: 'Use tool_check_visa_requirement for a precise single-pair lookup. Use tool_check_transit_visa for transit/layover visa checks, not entry.' This provides clear guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
