Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v2.0.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct operation: converting timezones (single and batch), date math, meeting slot finding, holiday checking, timezone listing and lookup, current time, and offset. No two tools have overlapping or ambiguous purposes.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools use a clear snake_case verb_noun pattern (e.g., convert_timezone, list_timezones, is_holiday). The naming is predictable and follows the same convention throughout, with no mix of different styles.
Tool Count5/59 tools is a well-scoped count for a timezone and scheduling server. Each tool provides a distinct capability without being excessive or sparse, covering core functionality effectively.
Completeness4/5The tool surface covers timezone conversion, scheduling, holidays, and timezone discovery comprehensively. Minor gap: no batch holiday check or recurring event support, but core workflows are well-covered.

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
- 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 plural 'timezone(s)' but does not specify whether the tool returns a single value or multiple, what happens on invalid input, or error handling. The example shows a single mapping, creating ambiguity.
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 two sentences plus an example, with no wasted words. The essential information is front-loaded, and the example clarifies the mapping. Every sentence earns its place.
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 lookup tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate but not complete. It lacks explanation of the return format (list vs. single, structure) and handling of ambiguous or non-matching inputs. The plural hint is too vague.
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?
The input schema has 100% coverage with a description for the parameter. The tool description adds context about the resolution purpose and an example, but does not add significant meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (resolve), the resource (city/country name to IANA timezone), and provides a concrete example ('Delhi' -> Asia/Kolkata). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like convert_timezone and list_timezones by focusing on name-to-timezone resolution.
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 when to use (when you have a city or country name and need the IANA timezone), but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternative tools. Given the sibling tools, the description lacks guidance on excluding other tools like convert_timezone or list_timezones.
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 DST-awareness and fractional offset handling, but it does not disclose potential behavioral traits such as error handling for invalid timezones, rate limits, authentication needs, or the format of the returned offset. The description is minimal and lacks depth beyond the core function.
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 two concise sentences that front-load the core purpose and include a helpful example of fractional offsets. Every word adds value, with no redundant or tangential 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 tool with 2 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential purpose and DST-awareness. However, it does not specify the return format (e.g., string like '+05:30'), error scenarios, or edge cases. While minimal, it is adequate for a straightforward tool.
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 description coverage is 100%, providing descriptions for both parameters (instant and timezone). The description adds that instant defaults to 'now' and references IANA timezones, but it does not add significant new meaning beyond the schema. The baseline of 3 is appropriate.
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 returns the exact UTC offset of a timezone at a given instant, with DST awareness, and specifically highlights handling of fractional offsets like India +05:30 and Nepal +05:45. This differentiates it from sibling tools like convert_timezone (which converts time) or list_timezones (which lists names).
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 the tool should be used to get the UTC offset at a specific instant, but it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use it versus similar sibling tools (e.g., lookup_timezone) or when not to use it. No alternatives are mentioned, so the usage context is only implicitly 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 present, so the description carries full burden. It discloses input formats and output fields but does not mention error handling, ambiguous time handling (e.g., DST overlaps), invalid timezone behavior, or any rate limits/permissions. Partial but missing important behavioral details.
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?
Two sentences with no wasted words. First sentence states purpose and input capacity; second sentence describes output. Efficient and front-loaded for quick comprehension.
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 input formats and output fields but omits error conditions, time range support, and handling edge cases like ambiguous times. Without an output schema, more detail on return structure would be beneficial. Adequate but not fully 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?
Schema coverage is 100%, and schema descriptions already cover parameter meanings. The description adds context (example input formats, return fields) but does not significantly enhance understanding beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
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 date/time between IANA timezones, specifies acceptable input formats (ISO 8601 or natural language), and lists return fields (converted datetime, offset, abbreviation, DST flag). It is distinct from sibling tools like convert_batch, date_math, etc.
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 the tool is for single timezone conversions but does not explicitly state when to use it vs. alternatives (e.g., convert_batch for batch, now_in for current time, tz_offset for just offset). No when-not or alternative guidance is provided.
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 carry full burden. It discloses weekend and holiday exclusion but does not mention return format, pagination, error handling, or what happens when no slots are found. Partial transparency.
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 a single concise sentence that effectively communicates the tool's purpose and key behaviors without unnecessary words.
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 core functionality but lacks details on return values, edge cases, or default behaviors. Given the tool's complexity and absence of output schema, it is somewhat incomplete.
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 75%, and the description adds context about country code for holidays. However, it does not significantly enhance understanding beyond the schema for most parameters.
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 suggests best overlapping working-hour slots for a meeting across timezones, explicitly mentioning exclusion of weekends and optional public holidays. It distinguishes well from sibling tools like convert_timezone or is_holiday.
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 does not explicitly guide when to use this tool vs. alternatives. While it implies its purpose for meeting scheduling, it lacks exclusions or mentions of sibling tools like convert_timezone or is_holiday for specific use cases.
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 the description carries the burden. It explains the batch nature but lacks details on side effects, error handling, or constraints (e.g., valid time zones). It does not disclose whether the operation is read-only or idempotent.
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 a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the core functionality. Every word is necessary and no 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?
There is no output schema, and the description does not hint at the return format (e.g., list of converted times). Additionally, error scenarios or input validation are not addressed, leaving gaps for an agent.
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 description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond what the schema already provides (datetime format, source and target timezones).
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: batch conversion of a single datetime to multiple timezones, and distinguishes it from the sibling tool convert_timezone which likely does one-to-one conversion.
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 provides a use case ('Ideal for world-clock views') and contrasts with convert_timezone, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention other alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses DST-respecting behavior and the distinction between calendar days and absolute units, which is critical for correct usage.
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 a single, well-structured sentence that conveys both usage modes efficiently with no superfluous 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 tool's complexity (two operations, nested object) and lack of output schema or annotations, the description omits return format, error handling, and examples, leaving gaps for an agent.
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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal parameter context beyond the schema (e.g., mentions 'days are calendar-based'), so no extra value.
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 actions ('add/subtract time', 'compute the difference') and the resource ('date/datetime'), distinguishing it from sibling tools that focus on conversion or lookup.
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 behavioral context (DST handling, day vs hour interpretation) but does not explicitly indicate when to use this tool over alternatives like convert_timezone or find_meeting_slots.
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; description mentions data source (Nager.Date) but omits details like API limits, freshness, or error handling. Adequate for simple check but leaves gaps.
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?
Two efficient sentences, front-loaded with purpose. No extraneous information.
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?
Covers core functionality and data source. Lacks output specification (e.g., boolean return) but acceptable for simple tool with no output schema.
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 covers 100% of parameters; description merely restates them without adding new meaning beyond 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 the verb 'Check' and resource 'public holiday' with specific country and date. Distinguishes well from timezone siblings like 'lookup_timezone' and 'date_math'.
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?
Implies usage for holiday checks, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives. Context signals show distinct sibling functions, reducing need for exclusion.
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 convey all behavioral traits. It mentions listing/searching timezone names but doesn't confirm read-only behavior, output format, or whether all timezones are returned when no query is given.
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?
Two sentences are highly concise and front-loaded: the first states the main purpose, the second details filtering. No irrelevant information.
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 simple tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description is mostly complete. It covers purpose and filtering, but could mention that the output is a list of timezone name strings.
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 100% with a single 'query' parameter. The description adds value by specifying acceptable filter values ('city, region or country substring') and providing concrete examples, enriching the schema description.
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 or searches IANA timezone names, distinguishing it from sibling tools like convert_timezone or now_in which handle conversions and time lookups.
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 provides filtering examples ('kolkata', 'america') but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like lookup_timezone. Context implies it's for searching names, not details.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses key behavioral traits: it returns current time, offset, abbreviation, and DST flag. It implies a read-only operation with no side effects. No annotations were provided, so the description carries the full burden.
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?
Two sentences, no wasted words. The core purpose and usage are front-loaded. Efficient and clear.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the return value details sufficiently. No gaps remain.
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?
The single parameter 'timezone' is well-described in the schema with examples. The description adds no additional semantic detail, but schema coverage is 100%, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool returns the current local time for a given IANA timezone, including UTC offset, abbreviation, and DST flag. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on 'now' rather than conversions or lookups.
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 says 'Use whenever you need to know now', providing clear usage context. It does not explicitly list when not to use or mention alternatives, but the sibling tools list implies differentiation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
