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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the basic action without disclosing behavioral traits like permanence, error handling, or effects on server state.

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

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

The description is a single sentence, concise and front-loaded. However, it is too sparse and does not include necessary details, making it under-specified rather than effectively concise.

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

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

Given the complexity of 3 unannotated parameters and no output schema, the description lacks completeness. It does not explain return values, side effects, error cases, or when to use among the 27 sibling tools.

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

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

The schema has 3 parameters with 0% description coverage. The description adds no explanation of the parameters (e.g., what 'source' or 'projectId' mean), leaving the agent without necessary semantic context.

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

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

The description clearly states the action ('Remove') and the resource ('mod or plugin'), and it distinguishes from sibling tools like add_mod and list_mods by specifying removal.

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

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

The description implies when to use (to remove a mod), but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use, prerequisites, or alternatives. It does not mention any conditions or side effects.

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

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

No annotations present, so description must convey behavioral effects. It only says 'restart' without explaining side effects like interrupting players, saving world, or required permissions.

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

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

Single sentence, no redundancy. Efficient but lacking necessary detail.

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

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

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

No guidance on when to use restart vs stop+start or other alternatives. No prerequisites or context provided.

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

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

The description starts with 'DESTRUCTIVE' and notes 'overwrites current data', giving a clear warning about the tool's impact. With no annotations provided, the description effectively conveys the destructive behavior, though it could mention if the operation is reversible or error handling.

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

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

The description is a single sentence, front-loaded with 'DESTRUCTIVE' to immediately convey critical information. Every word serves a purpose with no wasted content.

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

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

Given the tool has two required parameters, no output schema, no annotations, and zero schema description coverage, the description is too brief. It omits parameter details, return values, and error conditions, making it inadequate for a destructive operation.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no information about the parameters (backupId, serverId) beyond their names. The tool description fails to explain what these parameters represent or their formats.

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

Explicitly states a prerequisite (server must be stopped) and the destructive nature, providing clear context for when to use. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use.

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

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

With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states the action (running a command) without mentioning prerequisites (server must be running), side effects, required permissions, or output characteristics. This is insufficient for a command execution tool.

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

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

The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. However, it is too terse, sacrificing necessary detail for brevity. It adequately front-loads the purpose but fails to earn its place by omitting critical information.

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

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

Given the tool's complexity (executing commands) and the rich set of sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, error handling, or behavior under different conditions. An output schema is absent, and the description does not compensate.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does not explain the 'command' or 'serverId' parameters beyond their names, leaving the agent without insight into valid values, formats, or constraints.

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

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

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior, but it only says 'Set the server's MOTD'. It omits whether it overwrites, requires server running, or handles errors.

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

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

Single sentence is concise, but it lacks useful structure. Could include parameter hints without being verbose.

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

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

Missing output schema and parameter descriptions. For a simple mutation tool, it should at least mention what happens on success or failure.

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

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

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

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

Without annotations, the description carries the full burden but only states 'update,' implying mutation. It does not disclose side effects, authorization needs, or whether changes require a restart, making it insufficient for a destructive action.

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

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

The description is a single, concise sentence with no fluff. It could include slightly more detail without harming brevity, but it is appropriately sized.

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

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

Given the tool has nested parameters and is a mutation, the description omits critical context like return values, error states, and prerequisites. It fails to fully equip an agent for safe invocation.

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

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

The description adds meaning by explaining that 'properties' are keys in server.properties and 'idleTimeoutMinutes' is optional. However, it does not elaborate on valid keys or the effect of idle timeout, leaving gaps beyond the schema.

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

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

The description clearly states the tool updates server.properties keys and optionally sets idle timeout. It uses a specific verb 'update' and identifies the resource, but lacks detail on what server.properties encompasses.

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

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for disclosing behavior. It states the action ('show') but does not explicitly confirm it is read-only, non-destructive, or safe. For a tool with zero parameters and no side effects, the lack of explicit behavioral disclosure is a minor gap.

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

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

The description is a single, efficient sentence with no redundant wording. It is front-loaded with the core action, and every word earns its place.

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

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

The description is functionally complete for a no-parameter identity check, but it lacks detail about the return value (e.g., format, key fields). Since there is no output schema, the description could be more helpful by hinting at the output structure.

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

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

The tool has zero parameters and schema description coverage is 100% (trivially). Per guidelines, baseline is 4 for no parameters. The description adds no parameter info, but none is needed.

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

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

The description 'Show the account your API key is bound to' uses a specific verb ('show') and identifies the resource ('account'). It clearly distinguishes this tool from its siblings (server management, file operations, etc.) as it is the only tool related to identity verification.

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

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives is provided. However, given the simplicity and uniqueness of the tool (no siblings perform identity checks), the implied usage is clear. A more explicit note about using it before operations requiring authentication would improve this score.

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

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

The description mentions base64-encoded internally, which is a useful behavioral detail. However, no annotations exist, and the description does not disclose whether the operation is destructive (overwrites existing files), what permissions are needed, or any side effects. This is inadequate for understanding the tool's impact.

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

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

The description is a single sentence, concise with no extraneous words. It could be considered too brief, but for a tool with three simple string parameters, it avoids unnecessary detail. However, it could be slightly expanded without losing conciseness.

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

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

Given the tool's simplicity (3 string params, no output schema), the description covers the core action but lacks completeness. It does not specify the result (e.g., success/failure indication, file creation behavior), which leaves the agent uncertain about the tool's full behavior. Additional context about internal encoding is helpful but insufficient.

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

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not add meaning to the three parameters (path, content, serverId) beyond their names. While the description notes base64 encoding, it does not clarify the expected format of content or path constraints. The agent lacks guidance on how to provide valid inputs.

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

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

The description states 'Write content to a file on the server', clearly indicating the verb (write) and resource (file on server), distinguishing it from sibling tools like read_file and delete_file. However, it does not clarify if writing creates a new file or overwrites an existing one, which would improve clarity.

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

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

There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The tool name and description imply file writing, but no conditions or exclusions are provided, such as when to use write_file instead of other file-related tools like create_backup or run_command.
