lookup_sage_doc

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve SageMath documentation links for a symbol and check if the server exposes it for evaluate_sage code, helping validate names before evaluation.

Instructions

Documentation links for a SageMath name, plus whether this server offers that name to evaluate_sage caller code

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, openWorldHint=false, and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds what information is returned, but does not discuss rate limits, auth, or other behavioral traits.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

A single short sentence that front-loads the resource and the two outputs. No filler or repetition.

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

Completeness4/5

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

With an output schema, complete parameter documentation, and rich annotations, the description provides enough context for a lookup tool. It could be stronger with explicit routing guidance, but nothing essential is missing.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% and the single parameter is documented with examples in the schema. The description merely echoes the concept of a SageMath name without adding syntax or format details beyond the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

States a specific resource (a SageMath name) and exactly what is returned: documentation links plus whether the server offers that name for evaluate_sage. It distinguishes itself from evaluate_sage by focusing on documentation and availability rather than evaluation.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The mention of evaluate_sage caller code implies a use case, but there is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance relative to siblings like check_sage_health or evaluate_sage. Usage is only inferable.

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