Akave MCP Server

by akave-ai

Akave MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI models to interact with Akave's S3-compatible storage. This server provides a set of tools for managing your Akave storage buckets and objects through AI models like Claude and local LLMs.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs). Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications - it provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
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 the basic action. It doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as whether it overwrites existing destination objects, requires specific permissions, handles large files, has rate limits, or returns any output (e.g., success confirmation or error details).

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to scan and understand quickly without unnecessary details.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity of a copy operation with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks critical context like behavioral outcomes (e.g., overwrite behavior, error handling), return values, or usage constraints, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent to infer correctly.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all 4 parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying source and destination contexts, which is already clear from parameter names. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema handles the heavy lifting.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('Copy') and resource ('an object'), specifying the destination context ('to another bucket/key'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_object' (read) or 'put_object' (upload), but doesn't explicitly differentiate from similar tools like 'update_object' or mention if it overwrites existing objects.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., permissions, existing source object), exclusions (e.g., cannot copy across regions), or compare to siblings like 'put_object' for uploads or 'get_object' + 'put_object' for manual copying.

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

create_bucketC

Create a new bucket

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bucketYesBucket name

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
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 of behavioral disclosure. 'Create a new bucket' implies a write operation but doesn't specify critical details: whether it requires specific permissions, if it's idempotent (e.g., fails if bucket exists), what happens on success (e.g., returns bucket details), or potential side effects. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely concise with a single sentence 'Create a new bucket', which is front-loaded and wastes no words. Every word earns its place by directly stating the tool's purpose without unnecessary elaboration.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the tool's complexity (a write operation with no annotations and no output schema), the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what a 'bucket' is in this context, what the tool returns, error conditions, or behavioral traits. For a creation tool with 1 parameter and 100% schema coverage, the description should provide more context about the operation's outcome and usage.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the single parameter 'bucket' documented as 'Bucket name'. The description doesn't add any parameter semantics beyond this, such as naming constraints, format requirements, or examples. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate as the schema does the heavy lifting.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description 'Create a new bucket' clearly states the action (create) and resource (bucket) with a specific verb. It distinguishes this from sibling tools like 'delete_bucket' or 'list_buckets' by indicating creation rather than deletion or listing. However, it doesn't specify what type of bucket (e.g., storage bucket, data bucket) or provide additional context about the resource being created.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., permissions, existing resources), when not to use it (e.g., if a bucket already exists), or refer to sibling tools like 'list_buckets' for checking existing buckets first. The agent must infer usage 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.

delete_bucketC

Delete a bucket

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bucketYesBucket name

TDQS

C2.4/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but fails to disclose critical behavioral traits. It doesn't mention that deletion is irreversible, potential permissions required, effects on contained objects, or error conditions, leaving significant gaps for a destructive operation.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is extremely concise with 'Delete a bucket', which is front-loaded and wastes no words. However, it borders on under-specification given the tool's complexity, as more detail would be beneficial for clarity.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a destructive tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks information on return values, error handling, and behavioral context, failing to compensate for the missing structured data and leaving the agent under-informed.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with the parameter 'bucket' clearly documented as 'Bucket name'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as format constraints or examples, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage without compensating value.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description 'Delete a bucket' clearly states the action (delete) and resource (bucket), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'delete_object' or specify what constitutes a bucket versus an object, leaving room for confusion about scope.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does 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 such as 'delete_object' or prerequisites like bucket emptiness. The description lacks context about dependencies or exclusions, offering minimal help for tool selection.

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

delete_objectC

Delete an object from a bucket

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bucketYesBucket name
keyYesObject key

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the destructive action ('Delete') but lacks critical details: it doesn't specify if deletion is permanent or reversible, mention authentication or permission requirements, warn about rate limits, or describe error conditions (e.g., if the object doesn't exist). This is inadequate for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly. Every word earns its place by conveying essential information without redundancy.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given this is a destructive mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address behavioral risks, return values, or error handling, which are crucial for safe and effective tool invocation. The high schema coverage helps with parameters, but other contextual gaps remain significant.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters ('bucket' and 'key') clearly documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying these parameters identify the object to delete, which is already evident from the schema. This meets the baseline score when schema coverage is high.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('Delete') and resource ('an object from a bucket'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate this tool from sibling tools like 'delete_bucket' or 'update_object', which would require specifying it targets individual objects rather than buckets or modifications.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., object must exist), exclusions (e.g., not for buckets), or comparisons to siblings like 'delete_bucket' or 'update_object', leaving the agent to infer usage context from the name alone.

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

fetch_headersC

Fetch headers/metadata for an object

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bucketYesBucket name
keyYesObject key

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It implies a read-only operation ('fetch') but doesn't specify authentication requirements, rate limits, error conditions (e.g., if the object doesn't exist), or what metadata fields are returned. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core purpose and uses clear terminology. Every word earns its place, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity of object storage operations and the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what headers/metadata are returned, potential side effects, or how it fits into the broader context of sibling tools like 'get_object'. For a tool in a server with destructive operations, more guidance is needed.

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 description coverage is 100%, with clear descriptions for 'bucket' and 'key' parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as format examples or constraints. Since the schema does the heavy lifting, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, but there's no extra value from the description.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('fetch') and target ('headers/metadata for an object'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'get_object' (which likely retrieves content) and 'list_objects' (which lists multiple objects). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from potential metadata-focused siblings, keeping it from a perfect score.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_object' (which might include headers) or other metadata-related operations. It lacks context about prerequisites, such as needing read permissions or existing objects, which is critical given the server's sibling tools include destructive operations.

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

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bucketYesBucket name

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
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 disclosure. It states a read operation ('Get'), implying it's likely safe and non-destructive, but doesn't specify permissions needed, rate limits, error conditions, or what the return format looks like (e.g., string, object). This leaves significant gaps for a tool with no annotation coverage.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral traits (e.g., permissions, errors), return values, and usage context. For a simple tool, this might be minimally adequate, but it doesn't provide enough information for confident agent use without additional context.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'bucket' clearly documented in the schema. The description doesn't add any meaning beyond this (e.g., format constraints, examples), so it meets the baseline score of 3 where the schema does the heavy lifting.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('Get') and resource ('region/location of a bucket'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from its siblings (like 'fetch_headers' or 'get_object'), which might also retrieve bucket-related information, so it doesn't reach the highest score.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., bucket existence), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings like 'list_buckets' or 'fetch_headers', leaving usage context unclear.

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

get_objectC

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bucketYesBucket name
keyYesObject key

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but offers minimal behavioral insight. It implies a read operation but doesn't disclose critical details like authentication requirements, rate limits, error conditions, or what 'content' entails (e.g., binary data, text). This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand how the tool behaves.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core purpose and uses straightforward language, making it easy to parse quickly without unnecessary elaboration.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't address what 'content' means in the return value (e.g., data format, size limits) or behavioral aspects like error handling. Given the complexity of object storage operations and lack of structured data, more context is needed for effective use.

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 description coverage is 100%, with clear parameter descriptions in the schema ('bucket name', 'object key'). The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, such as explaining key formats or bucket constraints. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema adequately documents parameters.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('Get') and resource ('object content from a bucket'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from similar siblings like 'fetch_headers' or 'get_signed_url', which might also retrieve object-related information.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it doesn't explain if this retrieves full content versus metadata (compared to 'fetch_headers') or when to use 'get_signed_url' for temporary access instead. The description lacks any context about prerequisites or exclusions.

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

get_signed_urlC

Get a signed URL for an object

ParametersJSON Schema

expiresInNoURL expiration time in seconds
keyYesObject key

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
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 of behavioral disclosure. It mentions getting a signed URL but does not explain what a signed URL is used for (e.g., temporary access, authentication), any rate limits, permissions required, or what the output looks like, leaving significant gaps in understanding the tool's behavior.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to grasp quickly.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity of generating signed URLs (which involves authentication and temporary access) and the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It fails to cover key aspects like the output format, security implications, or how it integrates with sibling tools, leaving the agent with insufficient context.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the input schema already documents all parameters (bucket, expiresIn, key) with clear descriptions. The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, such as explaining parameter interactions or constraints, but meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the verb ('Get') and resource ('a signed URL for an object'), making the purpose understandable. However, it does not differentiate this tool from sibling tools like 'get_object' or 'fetch_headers', which might also retrieve object-related data, so it misses full sibling distinction.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it does not specify scenarios where a signed URL is needed over direct object access or how it differs from other retrieval tools in the sibling list, leaving usage context unclear.

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

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
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 disclosure. It states what the tool does but doesn't describe important behavioral traits like whether this requires authentication, how results are returned (pagination, format), rate limits, or error conditions. The description is minimal and lacks 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, efficient sentence that states exactly what the tool does with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple list operation and is front-loaded with the core functionality.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple list operation with 0 parameters and no output schema, the description provides the basic purpose but lacks important context. Without annotations or output schema, the description should ideally mention what information is returned about buckets and any operational considerations, but it doesn't. It's minimally adequate but has clear gaps.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the baseline is 4. The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters since none exist, and it doesn't need to compensate for any schema coverage gaps.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('List') and resource ('all buckets in Akave storage'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_objects' or 'list_object_versions', which would require mentioning it's specifically for buckets rather than objects.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description doesn't mention prerequisites, when this should be used instead of other bucket-related tools like 'create_bucket' or 'get_bucket_location', or any context about typical usage patterns.

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

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the action but doesn't describe key behaviors such as pagination, rate limits, authentication requirements, or what the output looks like (e.g., list format, metadata included). For a read operation with no annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves.

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?

The description is extremely concise—a single sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to scan and understand quickly. Every word earns its place by directly stating the tool's purpose.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete for a tool with two parameters and no behavioral context. It doesn't explain what the tool returns, how results are formatted, or any operational constraints. For a list operation in a cloud storage context, more details on output and behavior would be helpful.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with clear descriptions for both parameters ('bucket' and 'prefix'). The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as examples or constraints. However, since the schema adequately documents the parameters, a baseline score of 3 is appropriate as the description doesn't need to compensate.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('List') and resource ('objects in a bucket'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes this from sibling tools like 'list_buckets' or 'list_object_versions' by specifying objects within a bucket. However, it doesn't explicitly mention what type of objects or provide additional context about the listing scope beyond the bucket.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention when to choose 'list_objects' over 'list_object_versions' or 'list_buckets', nor does it specify prerequisites or contexts for usage. The agent must infer usage from the name and schema alone.

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

list_object_versionsC

List all versions of objects in a bucket (if versioning enabled)

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bucketYesBucket name
prefixNoPrefix to filter objects

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the versioning requirement but fails to describe key traits like pagination, rate limits, error handling, or response format. This leaves significant gaps for a tool that likely returns a list of versions.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words, front-loading the core action and resource. It's appropriately sized for a simple list operation, making it easy to parse quickly.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the tool's complexity (listing versions with potential filtering), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It omits details on return values, error cases, and behavioral nuances, failing to compensate for the missing structured data.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters ('bucket' and 'prefix') adequately. The description doesn't add any meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as explaining how 'prefix' filters versions or the bucket context, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('List all versions') and resource ('objects in a bucket'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_objects' or 'list_buckets', which would require a more specific distinction to earn a 5.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides minimal guidance with the conditional 'if versioning enabled', hinting at a prerequisite, but lacks explicit when-to-use advice or alternatives. No mention of when to choose this over 'list_objects' or other siblings, leaving usage unclear.

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

bodyYesObject content
bucketYesBucket name
keyYesObject key

TDQS

C2.7/5.0
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 implies a write operation ('Put') but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as whether it overwrites existing objects, requires specific permissions, handles errors, or has rate limits. This leaves critical gaps for safe invocation.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly without unnecessary detail.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete for a mutation tool. It lacks details on behavior, return values, error handling, and sibling differentiation, making it inadequate for informed use despite the concise structure.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters (body, bucket, key). The description adds no meaning beyond this, as it doesn't explain parameter interactions or usage nuances. Baseline 3 is appropriate when schema does the heavy lifting.

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

Purpose3/5

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

The description 'Put object into a bucket' states a clear verb ('Put') and resource ('object'), but it's vague about what 'Put' entails—it could mean upload, create, or replace. It doesn't distinguish from siblings like 'update_object' or 'copy_object', leaving ambiguity in scope.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does 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. With siblings like 'update_object' and 'copy_object', the description lacks context on use cases, prerequisites, or exclusions, offering no help in tool selection.

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

update_objectC

Update (overwrite) an object in a bucket

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bodyYesNew object content
bucketYesBucket name
keyYesObject key

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'overwrite', implying a destructive mutation, but doesn't specify permissions required, whether the operation is idempotent, error handling, or any rate limits. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.

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?

The description is extremely concise—a single, clear sentence that front-loads the essential information without any wasted words. It efficiently communicates the core action and target.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity of an update/overwrite operation, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It lacks details on behavioral traits, error conditions, and return values, making it incomplete for safe and effective tool invocation.

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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage, clearly documenting all three parameters (bucket, key, body). The description adds no additional semantic context beyond what's in the schema, such as format details or constraints, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action ('Update (overwrite)') and resource ('an object in a bucket'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'put_object' or 'copy_object', which might have overlapping functionality, so it doesn't reach the highest score.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'put_object' or 'copy_object', nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. It's a bare statement of function with no contextual usage information.

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

B3.4/5.0

Scored across 13 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific resources and actions in the Akave storage domain. For example, copy_object, put_object, and update_object handle different write operations, while get_object and fetch_headers serve separate read purposes. No tools appear to overlap in functionality, making selection straightforward for an agent.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun naming pattern with snake_case throughout, such as create_bucket, delete_object, and list_objects. This uniformity enhances readability and predictability, allowing agents to easily infer tool functions from their names without confusion from mixed conventions.

Tool Count5/5

With 13 tools, the server is well-scoped for managing Akave storage operations, covering essential CRUD and lifecycle tasks for buckets and objects. Each tool earns its place by addressing specific needs like versioning, signed URLs, and metadata, without being overly sparse or bloated.

Completeness5/5

The tool set provides complete CRUD and lifecycle coverage for the Akave storage domain, including bucket management (create, delete, list, location) and object handling (get, put, update, delete, copy, signed URLs, headers, versions). There are no obvious gaps, ensuring agents can perform all core workflows without dead ends.
