  • Latest release: v1.0.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool covers a distinct debugger operation (e.g., attach, backtrace, continue, examine memory, set breakpoint), with no overlaps. An agent can clearly differentiate them.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a strict LLDB_VERB pattern with underscores, providing a predictable and uniform naming convention throughout.

    Tool Count5/5

    19 tools cover a comprehensive set of debugger operations without being overwhelming. The scope matches the typical needs of an LLDB interface.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool set covers core workflows like breakpoints, stepping, memory/register inspection, and session management. Minor gaps exist (e.g., conditional breakpoints, watchpoints), but the surface is largely complete for standard debugging.

  • Average 2.8/5 across 19 of 19 tools scored. Lowest: 1.9/5.

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

  • Behavior1/5

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

    No annotations provided, so description must carry burden of behavioral disclosure. Merely stating 'Run the program' does not indicate whether the tool starts execution, resumes, or performs any other action. Misses critical traits like side effects or state changes.

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

    Conciseness2/5

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

    Extremely short but at the cost of informativeness. The description is too terse to be useful, lacking any structural elements like bullet points or scenario hints.

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

    Completeness1/5

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

    Given the complexity of debugging tools and many sibling tools in LLDB family, this description is wholly inadequate. No mention of return values, error conditions, or relationship to other commands.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% for the single parameter 'sessionId', so description does not need to add parameter info. However, it adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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

    Purpose2/5

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

    Description 'Run the program' is vague. Does not distinguish from sibling tools like LLDB_START, LLDB_CONTINUE, or LLDB_NEXT. Lacks specificity about what execution action is performed.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., LLDB_START vs LLDB_CONTINUE). No context about prerequisites or typical use cases.

    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 provided. Description fails to disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, required process state, or return format. For a memory examination 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.

    Conciseness2/5

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

    Extremely concise (2 words) but underspecifies the tool's functionality. Lacks structure and omits critical details, making it insufficient.

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

    Completeness1/5

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

    With 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is grossly inadequate. Provides no context for expected behavior or output, leaving the agent ill-equipped to use the tool correctly.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 4 parameters. Description adds no additional meaning beyond 'Examine memory', which meets the baseline but provides no extra value.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    Description 'Examine memory' is clear but minimal. It does not differentiate from sibling tools like LLDB_PRINT or LLDB_DISASSEMBLE, which may also involve memory inspection.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as LLDB_PRINT or LLDB_DISASSEMBLE. Lacks 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.

  • Behavior1/5

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

    No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether execution steps into functions, stops at each source line, or any side effects. For a debugger step operation, this is a significant omission.

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

    Conciseness2/5

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

    The description is extremely short (three words), but it is under-specified rather than concise. It lacks necessary details, so it fails to earn its place as a useful description.

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

    Completeness1/5

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

    Given the complexity of a debugging step operation and the absence of an output schema and annotations, the description is woefully incomplete. It does not explain behavior, return values, or usage context.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema already defines both parameters. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, warranting the baseline score.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'Step program execution' is a verb+resource but vague. It does not specify whether it is step-into, step-over, or step-out, and sibling tools like LLDB_NEXT and LLDB_FINISH suggest similar actions. Thus, it is moderately clear but lacks precision.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like LLDB_NEXT or LLDB_CONTINUE. The description does not include context, exclusions, or prerequisites, leaving the agent without decision support.

    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 present, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Display frame information' without mentioning side effects, dependencies (e.g., active session), or output characteristics. Critical context for a debugging tool is missing.

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

    Conciseness3/5

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

    The description is extremely short (one sentence), which is concise but at the cost of substance. It does not earn its place as it provides no additional value beyond the tool name.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    For a simple tool with 2 required parameters and no output schema, the description should still clarify what 'frame information' entails and how it fits into the debugging workflow. The absence of such context makes it incomplete for an AI agent to use correctly.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The input schema has 100% description coverage, so baseline is 3. The description adds no information beyond the parameter names and types already in the schema, so it does not improve parameter understanding.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'Display frame information' clearly states a verb and resource, but it is vague and does not specify what aspect of frame information is shown (e.g., variables, registers, stack depth). Compared to siblings like LLDB_BACKTRACE and LLDB_INFO_REGISTERS, the purpose is not well differentiated.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like LLDB_BACKTRACE or LLDB_PRINT. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, 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 present, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states 'execute', omitting return values, side effects (e.g., state changes), or command execution limits. This is insufficient for safe tool invocation.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single sentence with no extraneous words, achieving conciseness. It is front-loaded and efficient, though the extreme brevity may be under-specifying for the tool's complexity.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given no output schema and no annotations, the description should elaborate on expected output or behavior. It fails to mention return values, error cases, or command completion patterns, leaving the agent with insufficient context for reliable use.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, with both parameters documented. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline score of 3 applies as the schema handles parameter semantics adequately.

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

    Purpose3/5

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

    The description 'Execute a LLDB command' clearly states the action and resource, but it is generic and does not distinguish this tool from sibling tools like LLDB_PRINT or LLDB_STEP, which also execute commands. The purpose is clear but lacks specificity for differentiation.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not suggest when to use this tool over alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. The agent receives no guidance on proper invocation context.

    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?

    With no annotations, the description carries full burden to disclose behavioral traits like read-only nature, output format, or required process state. It merely states 'Display registers' without any such details, leaving agents uninformed.

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

    Conciseness3/5

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

    The description is extremely concise (two words), which is efficient but sacrifices necessary detail. It lacks structure such as a brief explanation of behavior or return, making it minimally adequate.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given low complexity, no output schema, and only 2 parameters, the description fails to provide complete context. It does not specify what happens when called (e.g., all registers vs. a specific one, or any side effects).

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning to the parameters beyond what the schema already provides. It does not explain the purpose or constraints of the optional 'register' parameter.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description 'Display registers' clearly states the verb (display) and resource (registers), making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes from sibling tools like LLDB_FRAME_INFO, which focuses on frame context rather than a register dump.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidelines are provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as LLDB_FRAME_INFO or LLDB_EXAMINE. The description offers no context about prerequisites or typical workflow integration.

    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 disclose behavioral traits. It only states the basic action, omitting critical details such as whether the process is paused upon attach, any permissions needed, or if the operation is reversible. This lack of transparency could lead to unexpected 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.

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is extremely concise at one sentence, with no unnecessary words. It front-loads the core action. However, it might be too brief, sacrificing completeness for brevity.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the lack of output schema and the fact that this tool modifies debugging state, the description should explain what happens after a successful attach (e.g., process stops, session updates, ability to set breakpoints). It does not mention side effects or return values, leaving significant gaps for an agent to safely use this tool.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for sessionId and pid. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides. According to guidelines, baseline is 3 when schema coverage is high; the description does not improve or worsen it.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description 'Attach to a running process' clearly identifies the action (attach) and target (running process), distinguishing it from sibling tools like LLDB_RUN (launch new process) and LLDB_LOAD_CORE (debug core dump). However, it could be more precise by indicating that it requires a PID and session ID.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For instance, it does not explain that this tool is for attaching to an existing process as opposed to launching a new one (LLDB_RUN) or loading a core dump (LLDB_LOAD_CORE). Agents are left to infer usage from the tool name alone.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, and the description lacks behavioral details such as whether the program may terminate, hit breakpoints, or require a running state. It is minimal and does not add value beyond the obvious.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single phrase, concise and front-loaded. It could benefit from a bit more structure, but it is not verbose.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    Given the simplicity of the tool (1 param, no output schema), the description is minimally complete. However, it omits important context like the effect on the debugger state or potential errors.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already explains the sessionId parameter. The description adds no extra meaning, meeting the baseline of 3.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description 'Continue program execution' clearly states the action and resource. It distinguishes from stepping commands like LLDB_STEP or LLDB_NEXT, though it does not explicitly differentiate.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use continue versus alternatives like next, step, or finish. The description does not provide context 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?

    With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, what it needs (e.g., a valid session), or any side effects. The description is too sparse to inform the agent about behavioral traits.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is extremely short, which is efficient. However, it is a phrase without a verb and could be restructured as a full sentence. Still, it earns its place with no wasted words.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the high number of sibling tools and no output schema, the description should provide more context about the expected output (e.g., assembly instructions) and any dependencies (e.g., active session). It falls short of completeness.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema; it merely paraphrases. The schema already describes 'sessionId' and 'address' adequately.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description uses the specific verb 'disassemble' and identifies the resource as 'code of a function'. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like LLDB_PRINT or LLDB_EXAMINE, though it could be more precise about operating on addresses rather than just function names.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus the many sibling tools (e.g., LLDB_EXAMINE, LLDB_PRINT). There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or alternatives.

    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 states the basic action without any behavioral traits (e.g., side effects on session, required permissions, or whether it replaces existing state). Schema descriptions provide parameter meanings but no 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.

    Conciseness4/5

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

    Single sentence is concise without wasted words. Could benefit from slightly more context (e.g., session requirements), but it remains efficient.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Tool has three required parameters and no output schema. Description fails to explain return behavior, error cases, or how the core dump integrates with the LLDB session. Inadequate for a debugging tool with multiple inputs.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for all three parameters. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    Description clearly states the action ('Load a core dump file') and distinguishes from siblings like LLDB_LOAD or LLDB_ATTACH. It is specific about the resource (core dump). Lacks mention of session context, but the tool name implies LLDB environment.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., LLDB_LOAD for programs, LLDB_ATTACH for processes). No context about prerequisites or exclusions.

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

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, placing full burden on the description. The description only states 'Print value of expression' without disclosing whether the tool is read-only, requires an active session, or has side effects. It does not mention output format or behavior on failure.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single sentence that front-loads the key information (action and object). It is concise with no redundant words, but the brevity sacrifices important behavioral details.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the absence of an output schema and annotations, the description should clarify what 'print' means (e.g., returns a string, outputs to console) and how this tool relates to similar siblings like LLDB_EXAMINE. It fails to provide enough contextual information for an agent to predict behavior accurately.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for both parameters: 'LLDB session ID' and 'Expression to evaluate'. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond these schema descriptions, so it meets the baseline of 3.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description 'Print value of expression' clearly states the action and object (print value) and mentions expression evaluation. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like LLDB_EXAMINE that might have similar behavior. The verb 'Print' is specific but could be interpreted as outputting to stdout vs returning a result.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives. It lacks explicit context about prerequisites (e.g., a running LLDB session), when-not-to-use, or mention of sibling tools like LLDB_EXAMINE for more detailed inspection.

    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 the description carries full disclosure burden. It fails to disclose side effects such as pausing execution, persistence of breakpoints across sessions, or behavior on invalid input. Essential behavioral traits are missing.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is extremely concise at one sentence with no redundancy. While concise, it could be more informative without increasing length.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the tool's simplicity (3 params, no output schema, no annotations), the description is too minimal. It does not address return behavior, error states, or the impact of setting a breakpoint on the debugger state, leaving contextual gaps.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the schema adequately explains parameters. The description adds no additional semantics beyond the schema. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description 'Set a breakpoint' is a specific verb+resource, clearly indicating the tool's primary action. However, it does not distinguish itself from sibling tools like LLDB_ATTACH or LLDB_COMMAND, which have different purposes.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does 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. No context about prerequisites (e.g., must have an active LLDB session) or conditions for use is 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 exist, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits (e.g., session lifecycle, prerequisites, side effects). The agent is left uninformed about what starting a session entails.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single sentence, which is appropriately concise. However, 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.

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not explain what a session is, how it is initialized, or what the expected outcome is, leaving the agent with insufficient context.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., 'Path to the LLDB executable (optional)' and 'Working directory for LLDB (optional)').

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description 'Start a new LLDB session' uses a specific verb ('start') and resource ('LLDB session'), clearly distinguishing from sibling tools like LLDB_ATTACH or LLDB_LOAD_CORE.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as LLDB_ATTACH or LLDB_LOAD_CORE. Without context, an agent may select the wrong tool.

    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?

    With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits but only says 'Terminate a LLDB session'. It fails to explain what happens to the session (e.g., is the process killed? are resources freed?), side effects, or error conditions.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single, efficient sentence with no redundant words. It is front-loaded but lacks necessary details, preventing a perfect score.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the lack of output schema and minimal description, the tool definition does not adequately explain what 'terminate' entails or how the sessionId is used. More context is needed for an agent to use it correctly.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with a basic parameter description ('LLDB session ID'). The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the action ('Terminate') and the resource ('a LLDB session'), which is specific and distinct from sibling tools like LLDB_START or LLDB_CONTINUE.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, such as requiring an active session, or contrast with LLDB_FINISH or LLDB_STOP.

    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 bears full burden but only states 'Show call stack,' omitting details like thread context, side effects, or prerequisites (e.g., need a running process).

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    Extremely concise with no wasted words, but lacks any structural elements like bullet points or sections; efficient but minimal.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given no output schema and low complexity, the description fails to contextualize 'call stack' within LLDB, missing details like thread selection or frame count behavior.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% and parameters are adequately described in the schema; the description adds no additional meaning, meeting the baseline expectation.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Description 'Show call stack' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly distinguishing from siblings like LLDB_FRAME_INFO (single frame) and LLDB_EXAMINE (memory inspection).

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as LLDB_FRAME_INFO or LLDB_EXAMINE, leaving the agent without context for selection.

    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 must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic action, omitting details such as whether it stops at the return location, returns the function's result, or what happens if the current frame is the topmost (no caller).

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is extremely concise (5 words) and avoids unnecessary fluff. However, it lacks any structural elements like a summary or bullet points, which might improve scannability. Still, it is efficient for its purpose.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the simplicity of the tool (1 param, no output schema), the description is minimal. It fails to clarify what happens after execution (e.g., does the debugger stop? does it print the return value?). These gaps reduce completeness, especially since no output schema exists to compensate.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage for the single parameter 'sessionId' is 100%, so the schema already describes its purpose. The description adds no additional meaning or constraints, meeting the baseline of 3.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description 'Execute until the current function returns' clearly specifies the verb (execute) and the resource (current function returns), distinguishing it from sibling tools like LLDB_STEP and LLDB_NEXT which step by instruction or line, and LLDB_CONTINUE which continues until next breakpoint.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as LLDB_STEP or LLDB_CONTINUE. It does not mention that it is analogous to GDB's 'finish' command, nor does it suggest typical debugging scenarios or prerequisites like having a stopped function frame.

    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 behavioral details such as whether loading resets the debugger state, requires a stopped target, or any side effects. Simply stating 'load' 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.

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is extremely concise with a single sentence. While it is not verbose, it is arguably too sparse and could benefit from a bit more context without becoming wordy.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given no output schema and 3 parameters, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the result of loading (e.g., session becomes ready), whether arguments are validated, or any preconditions. More detail is needed for a loading operation.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so the description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema already describes sessionId, program, and arguments.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description 'Load a program into LLDB' clearly specifies the action (load) and resource (program into LLDB). It effectively distinguishes from siblings like LLDB_ATTACH (attach to process) and LLDB_LOAD_CORE (load core dump).

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use load versus alternatives like attach or start, nor does it mention prerequisites (e.g., need for an existing session).

    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 carries full behavioral disclosure burden. It only states 'step over function calls' but does not explain default behavior (source vs instruction stepping), interaction with breakpoints, or 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.

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is extremely concise, fitting a single phrase. While efficient, it could be slightly expanded to include key behavioral notes without becoming verbose.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the simplicity of the tool (2 params, no output schema), the description is minimal but lacks context about required debugging state (must be paused), interaction with breakpoints, and what happens when no function call is encountered.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, and the schema already clearly describes both parameters (sessionId required, instructions optional boolean). The description adds no additional semantic meaning beyond the schema.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description 'Step over function calls' clearly specifies a verb ('step over') and a resource ('function calls'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like LLDB_STEP (which likely steps into) and LLDB_CONTINUE (which continues execution).

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., LLDB_STEP vs LLDB_NEXT), nor are there preconditions or exclusions 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 present, and the description offers minimal behavioral context. It does not indicate whether the operation is read-only, whether it requires a debugged process, or what the output format is.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is a single, concise sentence that conveys the purpose without any unnecessary words or fluff.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    For a simple list operation with no parameters and no output schema, the description is functional but lacks detail about the scope ('active' definition) and the return format. It is minimally adequate.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    The tool has no parameters, and the schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no parameter information but does not need to, so it meets the baseline for zero-parameter tools.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description 'List all active LLDB sessions' clearly states the verb (list) and resource (active LLDB sessions). It is specific and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like LLDB_START or LLDB_ATTACH.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as LLDB_ATTACH or LLDB_START. There is no mention of prerequisites or context.

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