RabbitMQ MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v4.0.0
- Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have distinct purposes due to descriptive naming (e.g., check vs list vs get). However, a few pairs like 'check_local_alarms' and 'is_in_alarm' are very similar, and the sheer number of tools increases the chance of misselection. Overall, an agent can generally distinguish them.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow the consistent 'rabbitmq_broker_verb_noun' pattern in snake_case. Verbs like check, list, get, is, find, compare, initialize are used uniformly. Multi-word nouns are consistently hyphenated or underscore-separated. No mixed conventions.
Tool Count2/539 tools exceed the 'too many' threshold of 25 for typical MCP servers. While the domain is broad, the toolset could be consolidated (e.g., combining multiple check tools into parameterized ones). This high count burdens discovery and selection.
Completeness4/5For a monitoring/diagnostics and migration assist tool, the coverage is strong: health checks, listings, details, comparisons, guidelines, and skills. Notable read-only bias means no create/update/delete tools, but that appears intentional. Minor gaps like missing per-exchange message rates don't hinder core workflows.
Average 3.4/5 across 39 of 39 tools scored. Lowest: 2.3/5.

How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
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?
The description implies a read-only operation via 'Get,' but does not explicitly state that it is non-destructive, nor does it disclose any behavioral traits such as required permissions, rate limits, or error conditions. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, which it does not meet.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but under-specified. It lacks structure and additional information that could be provided without significant length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations, absence of output schema, and no parameter descriptions, the description is incomplete for an agent to correctly use the tool. It fails to cover essential details about inputs, outputs, or behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage for its two parameters. The description adds no meaning beyond their names; it does not explain what 'user' and 'vhost' represent or how they should be formatted.
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 action 'Get permissions' and specifies the context 'for a user in a virtual host,' making the tool's purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools that list users or perform other operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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, nor are there any prerequisites or exclusions. The agent receives no context for appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description should disclose behavioral traits; it only says 'detailed information' without explaining what happens on failure, authorization needs, or response format, leaving the agent with minimal insight.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise, but it sacrifices necessary detail; it could be slightly expanded to improve clarity without becoming verbose.
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 absence of an output schema and the tool's need for context (e.g., what 'detailed information' includes), the description fails to provide sufficient completeness; it omits the default vhost value and the kind of returned data.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description adds no meaning to the parameters (vhost and exchange); it does not explain the role of vhost or how to specify the exchange, forcing the agent to rely solely on parameter names.
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 uses a specific verb 'Get' and resource 'exchange', and the phrase 'specific exchange' distinguishes it from listing tools like list_exchanges, but it does not explicitly name alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 siblings such as rabbitmq_broker_list_exchanges, nor does it mention any prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description lacks any behavioral details beyond the basic action. It does not disclose that this is a read-only operation, what constitutes 'detailed information', any side effects, or authorization requirements. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, but it remains vague.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise at 8 words, but this brevity comes at the cost of useful detail. While it is well-structured as a single sentence, it does not earn its place by providing sufficient information, making it minimally adequate.
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, the description should explain the return value or specifics of 'detailed information' to set expectations. It also fails to mention that the vhost parameter has a default value of '/'. The description is incomplete for a tool with two parameters and no output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema includes two parameters (queue and vhost) with no description coverage. The tool description adds no explanation of these parameters, their values, or how to use them. Schema coverage is 0%, and the description provides no compensating clarity.
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 'Get detailed information about a specific queue' clearly states the action (get) and the target resource (queue). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'rabbitmq_broker_list_queues' which lists queues, and 'rabbitmq_broker_get_exchange_info' which targets exchanges.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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. The description does not mention that this is for a single queue's detailed info, as opposed to listing queues or getting exchange info, nor does it specify prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose that the tool is read-only (likely), what happens on invalid protocol (error or false?), or the return format. The description is too vague for an agent to fully understand side effects or results.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences and no filler. It front-loads the core action. Could benefit from a slightly more structured format or direct mention of return type, but as is, it is efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple check tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the basic action and lists possible inputs. However, it lacks details on return value (boolean? active status?), error behavior, and use context. This is minimally adequate but not fully complete for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% (no description in schema), so the description must compensate. It lists the accepted protocol values, which adds meaning beyond the bare schema type 'string'. However, it does not explain the values or their format, and there is no constraint enforcement (e.g., enum). Adequate but not thorough.
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 checks if a protocol listener is active, with a specific verb and resource. It lists the supported protocols, making the purpose evident. While it doesn't explicitly name the broker (implied by tool name), it sufficiently differentiates from sibling tools that check other broker states.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The list of protocols helps, but there is no mention of prerequisites, such as the broker being selected, or when to prefer this over other check tools. Sibling tools have distinct purposes, so confusion is low, but explicit context would improve.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must declare behavioral traits (e.g., read-only, non-destructive). It only hints at output content but does not state that the operation is safe, idempotent, or has no side effects. This leaves ambiguity about potential impacts.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (four words) and front-loaded. Every word adds value, but it could be slightly more informative without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given zero parameters and no output schema, the description provides a minimal but adequate idea of the tool's output. However, 'totals' and 'rates' are vague; a complete description might clarify what totals (e.g., messages, queues) and rates (e.g., publish, deliver).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no parameters, so schema description coverage is 100%. The description adds no parameter information, which is acceptable as there are none. Baseline 3 applies.
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 'Broker version, totals, and rates' clearly conveys the tool returns a high-level overview of the RabbitMQ broker. It identifies specific output categories (version, totals, rates), distinguishing it from sibling tools that focus on specific resources like queues or exchanges.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 sibling tools like rabbitmq_broker_list_queues or rabbitmq_broker_get_queue_info. The agent receives no hint about whether this is a quick overview suitable for monitoring or diagnostics.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description is minimal. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as whether the operation is read-only, side effects, error conditions, or required permissions. This is insufficient for a mutation-unrelated tool without annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise, but it borders on under-specification. It communicates the core action but lacks detail that could be added without much verbosity. It earns its place but could be more informative.
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 no output schema and sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It does not describe the return value (expected policy structure) or possible errors (e.g., policy not found). The context of the tool within the RabbitMQ broker API is not leveraged to provide completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the schema provides no descriptions for parameters. The description does not add any meaning to parameters beyond their names. It fails to explain what 'name' refers to or how 'vhost' defaults, leaving the agent without necessary context.
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 states 'Get a specific policy by name' which clearly identifies the action and resource. It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'rabbitmq_broker_list_policies' which lists all policies.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is for retrieving a single policy by name, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., list_policies for listing all, or other retrieval tools). No when-not or alternative guidance provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as read-only nature, permission requirements, error handling, or side effects. It only states the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with one sentence and a list. It is front-loaded with the core purpose. The list is necessary but could be formatted more cleanly (e.g., bullet points).
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description adequately documents the parameter by listing valid values, but it lacks context about the output format (despite an output schema existing) and fails to situate the tool among siblings. For a tool with one parameter, it is minimally adequate but not comprehensive.
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?
The input schema has one parameter 'skill_name' with 0% schema description coverage. The tool description compensates by enumerating all valid values, adding significant meaning beyond the schema. However, it does not explain the format or constraints beyond the list.
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 verb 'Get' and the resource 'workflow recipe', and lists the available skill names. However, it does not differentiate this tool from siblings like 'rabbitmq_broker_get_guideline', which could also involve retrieving a recipe-like object.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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. The description lacks context about prerequisites, scenarios, or cases where other tools would be more appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description bears full responsibility. It does not disclose side effects (e.g., connection persistence), failure behavior, credential validation, or timeout implications. Only parameter purposes listed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Short and structured with a list; first sentence is clear. Minor redundancy (e.g., 'The hostname of the broker') but overall efficient.
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?
Missing critical context: no information about return value (connection identifier), no mention of port and TLS defaults, no differentiation from OAuth sibling despite being a key distinction. Incomplete for a connection initialization tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Describes 4 of 6 parameters with some added meaning (alias for multiple brokers, default to hostname), but port and use_tls are omitted. With 0% schema coverage, more completeness 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?
Description clearly states the tool connects to a RabbitMQ broker with SIMPLE authentication, distinguishing it from the OAuth sibling. However, it could be more explicit about creating a reusable connection object for future operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like initialize_connection_with_oauth or other broker tools. No usage context is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description lacks any behavioral disclosure beyond the basic operation. There is no mention of idempotency, safety (though likely read-only), error conditions, permissions, or rate limits. With no annotations, the agent must infer behavior from the name alone.
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 directly conveys the tool's purpose. Every word is necessary; there is no redundancy or extraneous information.
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 tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It does not mention any prerequisites, pagination, or behavior when the vhost does not exist. Additionally, it fails to differentiate from the closely related rabbitmq_broker_get_policy tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter 'vhost' has no schema description (0% coverage). The description merely says 'in a virtual host,' which adds no meaningful explanation beyond the parameter title. For a tool with zero schema descriptions, the description should compensate by explaining the parameter's role, default behavior, or format.
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 states 'List all policies in a virtual host,' using a specific verb ('List') and resource ('policies') with a clear scope. It effectively distinguishes this tool from sibling listing tools (e.g., list_queues, list_exchanges) by naming a different resource type.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 rabbitmq_broker_get_policy for a single policy. There are no criteria for selection or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It lacks details on whether the tool is read-only, what happens if no certificates expire, required permissions, or any side effects. Minimal behavioral context is given beyond the basic function.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short (two lines) but front-loaded with the main purpose. However, the repetition of 'unit:' and the lack of structured formatting reduce conciseness. Every sentence earns its place, but more detail could be added without making it overly long.
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 no output schema and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It tells what the tool checks but not what the response looks like, how to interpret results, or any constraints. For a 2-parameter tool, the description could provide more context to fully inform usage.
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 0%, so the description must add meaning. It explains 'unit: days, weeks, or months' for the unit parameter, but does not explicitly describe the 'within' integer parameter (though 'within the given timeframe' implies it). The added value is partial, but the schema defaults provide some guidance.
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 'Check if any TLS certificates expire within the given timeframe,' specifying the verb (check), resource (TLS certificates), and scope (expiration within timeframe). It distinguishes itself from sibling check tools like rabbitmq_broker_check_local_alarms by focusing on certificate expiration.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 vs alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, context for usage, or when not to use it. The description only states what it does, leaving the agent to infer usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully cover behavioral traits. It fails to disclose whether the tool is read-only, performance implications, or result limits. The list of parameters does not convey operational behavior beyond their definitions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is brief, starting with a one-sentence purpose followed by a bullet-like list of parameter explanations. It is front-loaded and to the point, with no unnecessary words.
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?
Despite having an output schema (not shown), the description does not mention what the tool returns (e.g., queue names, full details). It also omits default behavior for optional parameters like vhost. For a filtering tool, more context about result structure or constraints is needed.
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?
Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description adds value by explaining each parameter's meaning (e.g., 'min_depth: minimum message count'). This clarifies the purpose of parameters that are otherwise only defined by type and default in the schema.
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 states 'Find queues exceeding threshold criteria,' which clearly indicates the tool filters RabbitMQ queues based on threshold parameters. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'list_queues' by implying filtering, though it could be more explicit about the filtering nature.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'rabbitmq_broker_list_queues' or 'rabbitmq_broker_get_queue_info'. The description does not mention any prerequisites or scenarios, leaving the agent to infer usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only says 'get list and info'. Doesn't state read-only nature, performance impact, or what 'info' includes. Minimal disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no fluff. Could add more value without bloat, but currently concise and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no parameters and an output schema (not shown), the description is minimally adequate. But lacks context like which cluster info vs other tools, or typical use case.
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?
No parameters, so description need not add parameter meaning. Schema coverage is 100% (no params to document). Baseline 4 appropriate.
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?
Clearly states verb 'Get' and resource 'list of nodes and their info in the cluster'. Siblings like 'get_node_information' imply singular, but no explicit differentiation. Still, purpose is clear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool compared to other get/list tools (e.g., get_overview, get_node_information). Agent must infer from name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description carries full burden. It only states the action (list queues) without disclosing read-only nature, rate limits, error behavior, or any side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded, no redundant words. Could be more informative, but concise for a simple tool.
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 parameterless list tool with output schema, description is adequate. It covers what the tool does, though lacks context about output format or use cases.
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% with zero parameters, so baseline is 3. Description adds no additional parameter meaning, which is acceptable.
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?
Description clearly states it lists all queues in the broker, using specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate from sibling list tools like list_exchanges or list_vhosts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as rabbitmq_broker_get_queue_info or rabbitmq_broker_find_queues_by_threshold. No context or prerequisites provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. It implies a read-only operation ('get') but does not clarify whether it aggregates data across all connections or by broker, nor does it mention any performance implications or data freshness. The minimal description leaves critical behavioral traits unsaid.
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 with no unnecessary words. It is appropriately front-loaded. Given the tool's simplicity, this level of conciseness is ideal.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it does not explain what 'churn rates' represent (e.g., connections per second, total counts) or how the result can be interpreted. This lack of detail leaves the agent potentially uncertain about the output format.
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?
The tool has zero parameters, and the input schema is empty, so 100% schema coverage is trivial. Per the guidelines, a baseline of 4 is appropriate for 0-parameter tools. The description does not add parameter-specific meaning, but none 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 'Connection and channel churn rates' clearly identifies the tool's purpose of retrieving churn metrics for connections and channels. It specifies the resource (connection/channel churn rates) but does not elaborate on what 'churn' means (e.g., rate of new vs closed connections), which slightly reduces clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 sibling tools like rabbitmq_broker_get_overview or rabbitmq_broker_list_connections. It does not explain the context in which churn rates are relevant or how they differ from other monitoring tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It states 'Connect' but does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether existing connections are replaced, error handling, or side effects. For a connection tool, this is a significant gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short and front-loaded with the purpose. The parameter list is present but uses an awkward indentation style. Every sentence earns its place, but the formatting could be improved.
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 moderate complexity (3 params, no enums) and presence of output schema, the description omits important context such as idempotency, permissions, or behavior when connection exists. For a connection tool, this is insufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does 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 repeats parameter names with minimal elaboration ('The hostname of the broker', 'A valid access token'). Only 'alias' gets additional context (optional, default hostname). Overall adds little value beyond 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's purpose with a specific verb 'Connect', resource 'RabbitMQ broker', and method 'using OAuth'. It distinguishes from sibling 'rabbitmq_broker_initialize_connection' which likely uses different authentication.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when OAuth authentication is needed, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like rabbitmq_broker_initialize_connection. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'List all connections', but does not mention whether the listing is paginated, what information is returned (default fields), or if it has any performance implications. The read-only nature is implied but not explicit.
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 sentence that directly states the function without any unnecessary words. It is appropriately sized for the simplicity of the tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has no parameters and an output schema exists, the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks details about potential large result sets, ordering, or default filters that would be useful for an agent.
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?
The tool has no parameters, so the input schema is fully covered. The description does not need to add parameter meaning. According to guidelines, 0 parameters baseline is 4.
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 verb 'List' and the resource 'all connections on the RabbitMQ broker'. It distinguishes from sibling tools which list other resources (queues, exchanges, etc.), though it could be more specific about the scope (e.g., all connections across all vhosts).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 does not mention no parameters, but also doesn't state that it's for listing all connections without filtering, nor does it clarify that it's a read-only operation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It does not disclose that this is a read-only operation, what 'detailed information' entails, or any potential side effects. With no annotation support, this is insufficient.
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?
Single sentence, front-loaded with verb and resource. No redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Output schema exists, so return values are documented. However, the description lacks mention of scope (all shovels) and expected behavior, making it minimally complete for a list tool.
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?
Input schema has zero parameters with 100% coverage. Description adds no parameter info, but baseline for 0 parameters is 4, and no further detail 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 uses specific verb 'Get' and resource 'shovels', and distinguishes from sibling tool 'rabbitmq_broker_get_shovel_info' which targets a single shovel. However, it could explicitly state 'list all shovels'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like 'rabbitmq_broker_get_shovel_info' or other list tools. The description does not mention use cases or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'check,' implying read-only, but does not explicitly state it is non-destructive, return format, or any side effects. Minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence is concise and front-loaded, but could include a brief note on return value or behavior without becoming verbose. Strikes a balance, but slightly under-informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, clear action), the description is minimally adequate. However, it does not reference the output schema (which exists) or clarify what 'in alarm' means, leaving some ambiguity. Could be more 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?
Tool has no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no parameter-specific info, but none is needed. Baseline 4 is appropriate as there is nothing to improve.
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?
Description clearly states the tool checks if the RabbitMQ broker is in alarm, using a specific verb ('check') and resource ('alarm'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like rabbitmq_broker_check_local_alarms, which target other aspects.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many similar check tools (e.g., local alarms, certificate expiration), an explicit when-to-use or differentiation would help an AI agent choose correctly.
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 carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states it verifies connections, alarms, and topology match, but does not mention side effects, authentication needs, or whether it is safe to call repeatedly. It adds useful context but leaves gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, effective sentence (13 words) that front-loads the core purpose ('Pre-flight check for blue-green migration') and then lists key verifications concisely. Every word serves a purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (two string params, no output schema), the description covers the main checks performed. However, it does not describe the return value or format, nor does it mention prerequisites (e.g., brokers must be registered). It is adequate but could be more complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on the two parameters (`source_alias` and `target_alias`). Their names imply broker aliases, but no details on format, source, or constraints are provided, leaving the agent without essential semantic information.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (list), resource (registered broker connections), and a specific detail (which is active). It is distinct from sibling tools like list_connections, which likely list all connections, by specifying 'registered' brokers.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 over alternatives (e.g., list_connections, get_cluster_nodes_info). The description lacks any context for selection or exclusion.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only says 'List all the virtual hosts', omitting any traits like read-only nature, authorization requirements, or potential side effects. A simple list is generally read-only, but this detail is not made explicit.
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 sentence with no waste. It is as concise as possible while conveying the essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that an output schema exists and the tool has no parameters, the minimal description is mostly sufficient. However, it could briefly mention the scope (e.g., all vhosts in the broker) or common use cases, but it is not critical.
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 0 parameters, and the schema coverage is 100% (empty). According to guidelines, no parameters yields a baseline of 4. The description adds no parameter info, which is acceptable since none exist.
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 verb 'List' and the resource 'virtual hosts (vhosts)', making the purpose unmistakable. It also helps differentiate from siblings like 'rabbitmq_broker_check_virtual_hosts' by focusing on listing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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, nor are there exclusions or context about prerequisites. The description only states the action without any usage recommendations.
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?
The description implies a read-only check, but without annotations it does not explicitly state side effects (likely none) or define what 'minimum online quorum' means behaviorally. Minimal but not misleading.
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?
A single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently communicates the tool's function without superfluous wording.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of parameters and presence of an output schema, the description is minimally adequate but does not explain the concept of 'minimum online quorum' or how the check is performed, which could aid selection.
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?
No parameters exist, so the description trivially adds all necessary information. Baseline scores 4 when no parameters need documentation.
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 specific verb 'Check if' and resource 'quorum queues with minimum online quorum', distinguishing this health check from sibling tools like rabbitmq_broker_check_migration_readiness or rabbitmq_broker_is_in_alarm.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 check vs. sibling check tools, nor does it mention prerequisites or conditions that warrant invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries burden. It describes that it retrieves guidelines based on guideline_name, but does not disclose read-only nature, error behavior, or response format. Basic transparency provided.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is reasonably concise and well-structured: first sentence states purpose, then bullet list of parameter values. Could be slightly more compact, but effective.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the description explains the parameter and provides guidance on each value, it does not mention the output format (though output schema exists), error handling, or prerequisites. Adequate for a simple retrieval tool, but could be more complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage (no description on parameter). Description adds significant value by listing all valid values for guideline_name and explaining what each returns, making it easy for the agent to choose the correct one.
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?
Description clearly states 'Get the general best practices for deploying RabbitMQ on Amazon MQ', which specifies the verb (get) and resource (best practices guidelines). This distinguishes it from sibling tools that perform checks, listings, and other operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implied usage: use when you need best practices guidelines. No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. Sibling tools context provides some differentiation, but description does not mention alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, performance impact, or authorization requirements. For a simple list tool, the lack of such details is acceptable but not exemplary.
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 with no extraneous information. It front-loads the essential action and resource.
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 has no parameters and has an output schema, the description sufficiently conveys the tool's purpose. It could mention that it returns a list or is read-only, but the context is adequate.
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 no parameters, so the description does not need to add parameter details. The schema coverage is 100% (empty schema). Baseline score of 4 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List'), the resource ('all open channels'), and the scope ('on the broker'). It is specific and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_queues or list_connections.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. However, the purpose is straightforward and the tool name suggests usage for monitoring or debugging channel states.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It indicates a read-only retrieval but does not mention whether the list is exhaustive, sorted, or any other behavioral details. The existence of an output schema is noted but not elaborated.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with no wasted words. Information is front-loaded 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?
Given a simple list tool with no parameters and an output schema, the description is largely complete. However, it could better differentiate from similar sibling tools like 'rabbitmq_broker_list_feature_flags' by explicitly stating what deprecated features are.
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?
The tool has zero parameters, so schema description coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter meaning beyond what is implied by the lack of parameters. Baseline 4 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 lists deprecated features currently in use, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools that list other entities like feature flags or queues.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'Useful for upgrade planning' provides context but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. 'List' implies a read-only operation, but no explicit statement about safety, auth, or side effects is made. It is minimally sufficient.
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?
Single sentence with no wasted words. Front-loaded with the action and resource.
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?
Given no parameters and the presence of an output schema, the description is complete for a simple list tool. It covers what the tool does and its scope.
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?
The tool has no parameters and schema coverage is 100%, so the description adds nothing beyond the schema. Baseline 4 applies as there are no param details needed.
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 verb 'List' and the resource 'feature flags and their status,' distinguishing it from sibling list tools like list_queues or list_vhosts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description notes it excludes messages, which is helpful, but does not explicitly state it is a read-only operation or disclose other behavioral traits. Without annotations, more transparency would be beneficial.
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?
Single sentence, front-loaded with the key action, no unnecessary words.
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 zero parameters and no output schema, the description adequately explains the tool's return content. However, it could mention the format (e.g., JSON object) for completeness.
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?
The tool has no parameters and schema coverage is 100%. The description adds value by specifying the components included in the definition, compensating for the lack of parameter info.
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 gets RabbitMQ definitions and lists specific components (exchanges, queues, bindings, etc.), distinguishing it from sibling tools that get individual components.
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 implies this is for a comprehensive dump, contrasting with sibling tools for specific pieces. However, no explicit when-to-use or when-not is stated.
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 transparency burden. It discloses that messages are requeued by default and explains the ackmode behavior. This is good, but it lacks details on potential side effects, limits, or rate limits, which would further enhance transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, with only two sentences plus a line for ackmode details. It front-loads the main purpose and uses a clear structure. No unnecessary words 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?
Despite lacking detail on what happens with an empty queue or how count works, the description covers the core behavior well. Since an output schema exists, return value documentation is not needed. The tool is simple, and the description is mostly adequate.
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 0%, so the description must add parameter meaning. It explains the ackmode parameter and its values, adding value beyond the schema. However, it does not describe count, queue, or vhost, leaving three parameters with only schema names and defaults. Partial compensation.
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 peek at messages in a queue without consuming them, using the verb 'peek' and specifying the resource 'messages in a queue'. It distinguishes itself from consuming by emphasizing non-consumption and requeueing. This is specific and informative.
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: use this tool to peek at messages, not to consume them. It explains the ackmode parameter with two modes (peek vs consume). However, it does not explicitly list alternative tools or state when not to use this tool, missing some exclusion guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It indicates a read operation (get) but does not disclose safety profile (e.g., read-only), potential side effects, or authentication requirements. The description is not misleading but lacks explicit 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 a single sentence of 18 words, front-loaded with the key action and target. It is concise with no redundant information, making it easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple tool with 2 parameters and no output schema, the description is mostly complete. It identifies what the tool returns (detailed information) and the parameters. It could hint at the fields returned (e.g., configuration, status), but the current wording is sufficient for a basic understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains both parameters: 'by name' (the 'name' parameter) and 'in a selected virtual host' (the 'vhost' parameter). This adds necessary meaning beyond the schema, though it does not mention the default value for vhost.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get'), the resource ('detailed information about specific shovel'), and the context ('by name that is in a selected virtual host'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like rabbitmq_broker_list_shovels, which lists all shovels without details.
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 implies when to use: when you need detailed info for a known shovel by name. It contrasts with list_shovels (list all) and other get_* tools. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use, but the purpose is clear enough.
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. It discloses that this tool changes the active broker for subsequent calls, which is a behavioral side effect. It does not detail error states or persistence but adequately describes the primary effect.
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 short sentences, no extraneous information. The purpose is stated upfront, and the consequence is immediately clear.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, its single parameter, and the presence of an output schema (not needing return details), the description fully covers what an agent needs: purpose, effect, and how to invoke it.
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 description mentions 'by alias', giving the sole parameter contextual meaning beyond the bare schema (which only specifies 'string'). However, with 0% schema description coverage, more detail about the alias's format or source would improve the score.
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 verb 'switch' and the resource 'active broker', specifying the mechanism 'by alias'. It effectively distinguishes this selection tool from the many read-only siblings.
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 implies when to use the tool ('All subsequent tool calls will target this broker'), indicating it should be called before broker-specific operations. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives, though no sibling provides the same function.
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?
No annotations are provided, but the description's verb 'Get' indicates a read-only operation. Since the tool has no parameters and simply returns the current user, there are no hidden behaviors requiring disclosure.
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 sentence that directly states the tool's purpose with no unnecessary words or information.
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?
Given the simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description is fully adequate. It clearly explains what the tool does without needing further elaboration.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, and the input schema has 100% coverage trivially. The description adds meaning by specifying what the tool returns ('the current authenticated user'), which is sufficient.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get') and the resource ('current authenticated user'). Among sibling tools, many are check/list/get operations, but none explicitly returns the current user, making this distinct.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving the currently authenticated user, but does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_users or get_permissions. No exclusions or context provided.
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?
As a read-only operation with no annotations, the description conveys that it retrieves bindings and can be filtered. It does not disclose potential performance implications of fetching all bindings, but it is adequate for a simple get operation.
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 entire description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the main action. No redundant words or extra information.
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?
Given the tool's simplicity, the description covers the two usage modes (filtered or all) and the role of each parameter. The output schema exists to document return values, so the description is 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?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaning to all three parameters: queue and exchange as optional filters, vhost as the virtual host with default '/'. It explains the effect of omitting filters, which adds value beyond 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 verb 'Get', the resource 'bindings', and the optional filtering by queue or exchange. It distinguishes from siblings like get_queue_info or get_exchange_info which target single entities.
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 explains when to use optional filters (by queue or exchange) and the fallback behavior (returns all bindings). It provides clear context but 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.
