Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.1
- Disambiguation4/5
Tools are mostly distinct: conventions, sessions, changes, and notifications are separate concerns. However, mark_gap_filled and test_notify do not clearly fit the established workflow, creating minor ambiguity about their role.
Naming Consistency4/5Most tools follow a verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., save_conventions, explain_change). Exceptions like mark_gap_filled and test_notify deviate slightly but remain readable and consistent in style.
Tool Count4/5At 10 tools, the server is well-scoped for its purpose, but test_notify feels like an auxiliary utility that doesn't belong to the core domain, making the count slightly higher than necessary.
Completeness3/5The core change and convention workflows are covered, but the knowledge gap feature only has a 'mark filled' action with no way to create or list gaps, and there is no update/delete for changes or conventions, leaving some lifecycle gaps.
Average 4.1/5 across 10 of 10 tools scored.

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 must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Mark a knowledge gap as filled' without explaining side effects, persistence, permissions, return values, or any state changes. The mutation-like nature is implied but not detailed.
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 avoids redundant wording. It is front-loaded with the action and condition, with no unnecessary details.
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 the lack of an output schema and annotations, the description should explain what happens when marking a gap as filled, such as return behavior or side effects. It only states the action and condition, leaving important behavioral context missing.
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 fully describes both parameters (topic and evidence) with clear descriptions. The tool description adds no additional parameter information beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 applies.
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 action: 'Mark a knowledge gap as filled' with a specific resource 'knowledge gap' and a condition 'when the user demonstrates understanding'. It is distinct from sibling tools like 'explain_change' or 'save_conventions', which serve different purposes.
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 clear usage context: use this tool when the user demonstrates understanding. It does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, but the condition is sufficient for guiding basic usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses the primary side effect (writing a digest file to a specific location), which is valuable. However, it does not mention whether the session is marked as closed in any backend state, whether the operation is idempotent, or any permission requirements. The single disclosed side effect is helpful but incomplete for a mutation-like closing action.
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, immediately front-loaded with the usage trigger, then the primary effect. Every word earns its place; no fluff.
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?
The tool is simple with all parameters required and well-documented in the schema. The description explains the key output side effect and usage context, which is sufficient for an agent to call it correctly. No output schema exists, but the return value is likely trivial. Losing a point because no annotations exist and the description does not cover state mutation or post-conditions, but overall it is complete for the operation's purpose.
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 the baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., sessionId from start_session, summary narrative, openThreads list). The schema descriptions are sufficient, so no deduction is needed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's action ('Call this when...' + 'Writes a human-readable digest to .diffmind/digests/<sessionId>.md'), describing a specific verb (close) and resource (session digest path). It does not explicitly name sibling tools like start_session, but the trigger phrase 'when the work is done or the conversation is ending' implies the distinction. Thus it is clear but lacks explicit sibling differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit when-to-use guidance: 'Call this when the work is done or the conversation is ending.' It does not explicitly discuss when not to use or name alternatives, so it misses the top score, but the context is unmistakable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. 'Fetch' clearly implies a read operation, and the 'why code looks the way it does' context adds purpose, but it does not disclose behavior like error handling, idempotency, or any permissions needed.
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, front-loaded with the core action, and every phrase earns its place. It is appropriately sized with no filler.
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?
The tool is simple with one required parameter and no output schema. The description conveys the main purpose and usage context, making it sufficiently complete for an agent, though it does not describe the exact return structure.
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?
Input schema coverage is 100% and the id parameter already includes a descriptive example. The description adds context about retrieving a full explanation but does not meaningfully expand on the parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool fetches the full explanation for a change by id, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from list_changes and mark_gap_filled, but does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling explain_change, which may also provide explanations.
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 explicit when-to-use guidance: use it to understand why code looks the way it does before modifying. It does not mention exclusions or alternatives, so it falls just short of a top score.
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 provided, the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. It does state the sort order (newest first) and the source (DiffMind), which is useful. But it omits any mention of filtering behavior, default limits, or what fields are returned, leaving the agent to infer from the schema.
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, front-loaded with the action and resource, and adds a clear use case without any fluff. Every word earns its place.
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 list tool with all-optional parameters and no output schema, the description provides enough context for an agent to successfully invoke it. It could mention default limit or return shape, but the schema and purpose cover the essentials. Slight gap is the absence of any note about pagination or result details.
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 all three parameters already have meaningful descriptions. The tool description itself does not add further parameter details, but it is not required to; the baseline of 3 applies.
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 identifies the tool as the one that lists changes recorded in DiffMind, ordered newest first. It distinguishes itself from siblings like recall_change by framing itself as an orientation tool rather than a detail lookup.
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?
It explicitly says to use this at the start of a new session or to answer 'what has been done so far?' This gives clear context for when to use it. However, it does not name alternative tools or explicitly state when not to use it, but the guidance is still strong.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the action (sending a notification) and the intent (debugging/testing), but it does not describe side effects, who sees the notification, or whether it is reversible. For a simple test tool this is marginally adequate, but lacks richer 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 two concise sentences, front-loaded with the action ('Sends a test notification') and efficiently provides purpose. No wasted words; 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?
For a tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool does and when to use it. It could mention the return value or the fact that it's safe, but given the simplicity, the description is sufficiently complete.
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 covers 100% of parameters with a description for 'message'. The tool description adds no additional parameter details, so it does not go beyond what the schema provides. 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 a specific verb and resource: 'Sends a test notification via the MCP server'. It also explains the purpose ('verify how Claude Code handles notifications'), and this tool is uniquely positioned among siblings (which deal with conventions, sessions, and changes) as the only notification-related tool.
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 clear usage context by stating 'Used for debugging and testing the notification system.' It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but given the siblings are unrelated, no alternative is needed. This meets the 'clear context, no exclusions' level.
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 provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals that explanations are 'quality-checked and rejected if they do not genuinely transfer understanding,' including specific rejection examples. It also discloses the session requirement, adding valuable context beyond what the schema shows. There is no mention of side effects or return values, but the key behavior is covered.
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 four sentences with no wasted words. It front-loads the purpose, then provides usage timing, quality expectations, and a prerequisite. Each sentence earns its place, and the structure is clear and efficient.
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?
The tool has a complex schema (15 params, 12 required) which is fully documented. The description adds workflow context: when to call, quality bar, and session prerequisite. Since there is no output schema, it could explain return values, but the description adequately covers what a caller needs to know to use the tool correctly, given the schema richness.
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 schema has 100% parameter description coverage with detailed descriptions for all 15 parameters, so the baseline is 3. The description adds general quality guidance (e.g., 'I fixed a bug' will be rejected) that informs fields like summary and rationale, but it does not provide parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema already offers.
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 with a specific verb and resource: 'Record an explanation for a change you just made.' It also distinguishes from siblings by emphasizing recording after edits, which contrasts with recall/list tools. The title 'Explain a code change' aligns with the description.
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 explicitly says when to use the tool: 'Call this after every meaningful code edit — before moving on to the next task.' It also provides a prerequisite: 'You need a session open (call start_session first).' However, it does not mention alternatives or when-not-to-use scenarios, so it falls short of a 5.
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?
Without annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It clearly indicates a read operation, which implies non-mutating behavior, but does not add further detail such as return format or edge cases. The 'Call this BEFORE' instruction provides useful contextual behavior beyond a simple read, but more depth would be needed for 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 concise, with only two sentences. It front-loads the action with 'Read the project coding conventions' and the second sentence provides valuable usage guidance without any waste.
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 (no parameters, no output schema), the description is largely complete: it states the action and when to use it. It does not explicitly describe what the tool returns, which would be expected without an output schema, but the word 'Read' reasonably implies the conventions are the output. A brief mention of the return value would make it fully 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?
There are zero parameters, so the baseline score of 4 applies. The description adds an implicit 'project' context but does not need to explain parameters because none exist 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 the tool reads project coding conventions, using the specific verb 'Read' and a distinct resource. It is not a tautology and is distinguishable from sibling tools like save_conventions.
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 explicitly instructs to call this tool before writing or changing code, providing clear timing context. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or name alternatives, though the instruction implies when it is necessary.
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 burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively explains the merge semantics: 'Rules are merged by category+rule text; existing rules are preserved unless replace is true.' This reveals non-obvious behavior that prevents data loss and clarifies how updates work. It could add more (e.g., return values or side effects), but the key behavioral detail is present.
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 three concise sentences, front-loaded with the primary action. Every sentence earns its place: the first defines the main use, the second covers amendment, and the third clarifies merge/replace behavior. No filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and no annotations, the description plus schema provide solid coverage. The description addresses the most critical ambiguity (merge vs replace) and the schema covers parameter formats. It omits minor details like confirmation of inferred rules, but the schema notes that. Overall, sufficient for an agent to invoke the tool correctly.
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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the merge key ('category+rule text') and the meaning of 'replace' in context, which informs how to use the conventions and replace parameters correctly. This goes beyond what the schema alone states, earning a 4.
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 primary function: 'Record the coding conventions the human described.' It also specifies the extendable use case ('add or amend rules later'), which differentiates it from siblings like get_conventions and start_convention_interview. The verb 'record' and resource 'coding conventions' are explicit and unambiguous.
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 clear usage context: record new conventions and amend existing ones later. It does not explicitly list alternatives or when not to use, but sibling context (e.g., start_convention_interview, get_conventions) implies distinctions. The phrase 'Also use this to add or amend rules later' gives direct guidance for repeat usage.
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 of behavioral disclosure. It reveals key behaviors: returns a sessionId, reuses an existing session, and establishes ordering. Minor gaps, such as side effects or persistence details, are not important for this simple initializer.
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, front-loaded with the key instruction ('Call this at the very beginning'), and every word adds value without repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description is adequately complete. It explains when, what, and the idempotent behavior. Sibling tools are not confused with this one, and no additional context is necessary.
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% for the single 'goal' parameter, and the schema description adds rich detail about how to provide the goal (in the user's own words, as an anchor). The tool description itself adds no extra parameter meaning, so the baseline of 3 applies.
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: starting a session and returning a sessionId. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by explicitly mentioning that the sessionId is passed to every subsequent explain_change call.
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?
Explicitly instructs to call this tool at the very beginning of a task, providing clear timing. Also gives an alternative scenario: if an open session already exists, the existing session is returned, avoiding duplicate opens.
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 takes on the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals that the tool returns questions, advises to ask them conversationally rather than all at once, and instructs a follow-up action. It does not disclose potential side effects like duplicate calls, but the guidance to call 'ONCE' implies idempotency concerns.
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 three sentences long, front-loaded with the most critical instruction ('Call this ONCE at the start'), and every sentence provides actionable guidance. No fluff or repetition of existing schema data.
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 a single parameter and no output schema, the description fully covers what the agent needs: when to invoke, what it returns (questions), how to interact with the human (conversationally), and what to do next. It is complete within its scope and compared to sibling tools.
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 schema already provides 100% coverage for the single parameter projectName ('Name of the project being set up'). The description adds minimal semantic value beyond the schema, only indirectly referencing a 'new project'. Per the baseline rule, schema covers the parameter so a 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's purpose: to start a convention interview at the beginning of a new project and return questions to ask the human. It uses a specific verb ('start') and resource ('convention interview'), and distinguishes itself from siblings by its explicit tie to saving conventions via save_conventions.
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?
Provides explicit usage instructions: call ONCE at the start of work on a new project, before writing code. It also gives a follow-up step (call save_conventions with answers), which clarifies the tool's role in the workflow. This effectively differentiates when to use this tool versus alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
