• scrollB
  3.2/5.0
  Behavior3/5

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

  Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, covering basic safety. The description adds behavioral context about output constraints ('Do not narrate visual observations...'), which is valuable beyond annotations. However, it doesn't disclose other traits like performance implications, error conditions, or side effects. With annotations providing safety info, the description adds some but not extensive behavioral transparency.

  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 concise and front-loaded: the first sentence states the core purpose, followed by two sentences on output constraints. Each sentence adds value without redundancy. It could be slightly more structured by separating purpose from guidelines, but overall it's efficient with minimal waste.

  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 4 parameters with full schema coverage, annotations covering safety, and no output schema, the description is moderately complete. It explains the tool's action and output behavior but lacks context on when to use it relative to siblings, potential errors, or real-world examples. For a screen interaction tool with rich schema, this is adequate but has clear gaps in usage guidance.

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

  Parameters3/5

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

  Schema description coverage is 100%, with each parameter well-documented in the schema (e.g., x/y coordinates in pixels, direction enum, amount as steps). The description doesn't add any parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema provides, such as explaining coordinate systems or scroll behavior. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate since the schema carries the full burden.

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

  Purpose4/5

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

  The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Scroll at the specified screen coordinates in the given direction.' It specifies the verb ('scroll'), resource ('screen coordinates'), and direction, but doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'drag' or 'move_mouse' that also involve screen interaction. The description is specific but lacks sibling differentiation for a perfect score.

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

  Usage Guidelines2/5

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

  The description provides minimal usage guidance: 'Do not narrate visual observations or coordinate calculations. Brief task progress updates are acceptable.' This addresses output behavior rather than when to use this tool versus alternatives. No explicit guidance on when to choose 'scroll' over other interaction tools like 'drag' or 'click' is provided, leaving the agent with little context for tool selection.

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

• clipboard_writeA
  4/5.0
  Behavior3/5

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

  Annotations indicate this is not read-only and not destructive, which the description doesn't contradict. The description adds context about the target platform (macOS) and the action (writing text), but doesn't provide additional behavioral details like whether it overwrites existing clipboard content, requires specific permissions, or has rate limits. With annotations covering basic safety, this earns a baseline score.

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

  Conciseness5/5

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

  The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it immediately understandable without unnecessary elaboration.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, annotations present), the description is mostly complete. It specifies the platform (macOS) and action, but could benefit from mentioning what happens to existing clipboard content or any system dependencies. However, for a basic write operation, it's sufficient.

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

  Parameters3/5

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

  Schema description coverage is 100%, with the single parameter 'text' fully documented in the schema. The description doesn't add any parameter-specific details beyond what the schema provides, such as examples or constraints beyond maxLength. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

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

  Purpose5/5

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

  The description clearly states the specific action ('write text') and target resource ('macOS clipboard'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like clipboard_read (which reads) and type_text (which types). It uses a precise verb+resource combination that leaves no ambiguity about its function.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description implies usage context by specifying 'macOS clipboard', which suggests this tool is for clipboard operations on macOS systems. However, it doesn't explicitly state when to use this versus alternatives like type_text for direct text input or when clipboard operations might fail due to permissions or system constraints.

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

• focus_windowA
  4/5.0
  Behavior3/5

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

  Annotations indicate this is not read-only and not destructive, which the description doesn't contradict. The description adds useful context beyond annotations: it explains the fuzzy matching behavior and clarifies that omitting 'title' activates the frontmost window. However, it lacks details on error handling, permissions, or system impacts.

  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, well-structured sentence that front-loads the core purpose and efficiently adds key details (fuzzy matching). Every word earns its place with zero waste.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  Given the tool's moderate complexity (activating windows), no output schema, and rich annotations, the description is mostly complete. It covers the main functionality and parameters well but could benefit from mentioning potential side effects or error cases to reach a 5.

  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 fully documents both parameters. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema—it mentions fuzzy matching for 'app' and implies the optional nature of 'title', but doesn't provide additional syntax or format details. Baseline 3 is appropriate here.

  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 specific action ('Activate an application and optionally raise a specific window by title') and distinguishes it from siblings like 'open_application' (which likely launches apps) and 'list_windows' (which only lists). It also mentions the unique 'fuzzy matching' feature for app names.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description provides clear context for when to use it (activating apps/windows) and implies when not to use it (e.g., use 'open_application' for launching, 'list_windows' for listing). However, it doesn't explicitly name alternatives or state exclusions, so it falls short of a perfect 5.

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

• move_mouseA
  4/5.0
  Behavior3/5

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

  Annotations already indicate this is not read-only and not destructive, which aligns with the description's implication of a non-destructive action. The description adds behavioral context about not narrating observations and allowing brief progress updates, but does not disclose other traits like performance, side effects, or system dependencies beyond what annotations cover.

  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 front-loaded with the core purpose in the first sentence, followed by two concise behavioral directives. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, making it efficient and well-structured.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  Given the tool's low complexity (simple action with two parameters), 100% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is mostly complete. It covers purpose, behavioral constraints, and usage context, but lacks details on error handling or coordinate system specifics that could enhance 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?

  The input schema has 100% description coverage, fully documenting the x and y parameters. The description does not add any parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema provides, such as coordinate system details or usage examples, 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.

  Purpose5/5

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

  The description clearly states the specific action ('Move the mouse cursor'), the target ('to the specified screen coordinates'), and what it does not do ('without clicking'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'click', 'drag', and 'get_cursor_position' by specifying no clicking occurs.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description provides clear context on when to use this tool (to move the cursor without clicking) and implicitly distinguishes it from alternatives like 'click' or 'drag'. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name specific alternatives, which prevents a score of 5.

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

• press_keyA
  4/5.0
  Behavior3/5

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

  Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, which the description does not contradict. However, the description adds value by explaining the format of key combos and listing modifiers, though it lacks details on system-wide effects, permissions needed, or error conditions beyond what annotations provide.

  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 front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by concise details on input format and modifiers in two efficient sentences. Every sentence adds necessary information without waste.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  Given the tool's moderate complexity (simulating key presses with modifiers), no output schema, and annotations covering safety, the description is mostly complete. It explains the input format well but could benefit from mentioning potential side effects or system dependencies for a destructive 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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents the 'key' parameter with examples. The description adds marginal value by listing modifiers (cmd, ctrl, shift, opt/alt) but does not provide additional syntax or format details beyond what the schema specifies.

  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 specific action ('Simulate a key press') and resource ('key combo string'), distinguishing it from siblings like 'type_text' (continuous typing) or 'click' (mouse actions). It explicitly mentions modifiers (cmd, ctrl, shift, opt/alt) to clarify scope.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description provides clear context by specifying it accepts key combo strings with examples, but does not explicitly state when to use this versus alternatives like 'type_text' for text input or 'click' for mouse interactions. It implies usage for single key presses with modifiers.

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

• waitA
  4/5.0
  Behavior3/5

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

  Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, indicating a safe, non-destructive operation. The description adds useful context about its purpose in UI workflows but doesn't disclose additional behavioral traits like whether it blocks other operations, handles interruptions, or has side effects. With annotations covering safety, a 3 is appropriate as the description adds some value but not rich 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.

  Completeness4/5

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

  Given the tool's low complexity (single parameter, no output schema) and rich annotations, the description is mostly complete. It covers purpose and usage context but could benefit from mentioning potential impacts like execution blocking or integration with other tools. However, it's sufficient for basic understanding.

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

  Parameters3/5

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

  Schema description coverage is 100%, with the parameter 'duration_ms' fully documented in the schema including type, range, and default. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, so it meets the baseline of 3 for high schema coverage.

  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 tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Pause execution') and resource ('for a specified duration'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like click, type_text, or move_mouse which perform actions rather than waiting. It effectively communicates that this tool introduces a delay in execution.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description provides clear context for usage ('Useful for waiting between UI operations'), indicating when to use it. However, it doesn't explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives (e.g., using timeouts in other tools), which prevents a perfect score.

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

• check_permissionsA
  4.2/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  Annotations indicate read-only and non-destructive behavior, which the description aligns with by describing a check operation. The description adds value beyond annotations by specifying the return content ('status for each permission and instructions for any that are missing'), providing useful context about output behavior that annotations do not cover.

  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, well-structured sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose, action, and return value without any wasted words. It is front-loaded with the core function and provides complete information in a concise manner.

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

• clickA
  4.2/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  The annotations indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, which the description aligns with by describing a click action. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: it specifies what not to do (narrate observations/calculations) and what's acceptable (brief progress updates), providing important usage constraints that aren't captured in the structured annotations.

  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 perfectly concise with two sentences that each serve distinct purposes: the first explains the tool's capabilities, the second provides critical behavioral guidance. There's zero wasted language, and the most important information (what the tool does) is front-loaded.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  For a destructive action tool with comprehensive schema coverage but no output schema, the description provides good context about the action and behavioral constraints. It could be more complete by mentioning potential side effects or error conditions, but given the annotations cover the destructive nature and the schema documents parameters thoroughly, this is reasonably complete.

  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?

  With 100% schema description coverage, the input schema already provides comprehensive parameter documentation.

This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

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

  Purpose5/5

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

  The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Click at the specified screen coordinates' with specific capabilities like button selection, click count, and modifier keys. It distinguishes from siblings like 'move_mouse', 'drag', or 'press_key' by focusing specifically on clicking actions at coordinates.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description provides clear context about when to use this tool (clicking at coordinates with various options) and includes explicit behavioral guidance: 'Do not narrate visual observations or coordinate calculations. Brief task progress updates are acceptable.' However, it doesn't explicitly state when NOT to use it or name specific alternative tools for related actions.

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

It covers the action, syntax, and examples, but lacks details on error conditions or return values. However, it provides sufficient context for basic usage in the given automation toolset.

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

  Parameters3/5

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

  Schema description coverage is 100%, with clear parameter descriptions. The description adds minimal semantic value beyond the schema by reinforcing the path format with examples, but does not explain parameter interactions or edge cases. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema adequately documents parameters.

  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 specific action ('Click a menu bar item') and resource ('in an application'), with explicit syntax guidance. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'click' (general) by specifying the menu context, making the purpose highly specific and unambiguous.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description provides clear context for when to use this tool (to interact with application menus) and includes a syntax example. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it (e.g., vs. 'click' for non-menu items) or name alternatives, though the context is sufficiently clear for typical UI automation scenarios.

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

• get_cursor_positionA
  4.2/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, indicating a safe read operation.

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

  Conciseness5/5

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

  The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core purpose ('Get the current mouse cursor position') and adds essential detail ('in screen coordinates') without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple, parameter-less tool.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  Given the tool's low complexity (0 parameters, no output schema) and good annotations, the description is mostly complete. It clearly states what the tool does and the output format. A minor gap is the lack of explicit return value details (e.g., coordinate structure), but this is reasonable for such a straightforward tool.

  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?

  With 0 parameters and 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 4. The description appropriately states there are no inputs needed ('Get the current...'), aligning with the empty schema and avoiding unnecessary parameter explanations.

  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 specific action ('Get') and resource ('current mouse cursor position in screen coordinates'), distinguishing it from siblings like move_mouse, click, or get_screen_info by focusing solely on cursor position retrieval without any additional functionality.

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

  Usage Guidelines3/5

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

  The description implies usage for obtaining cursor coordinates, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_screen_info (which might include cursor data) or move_mouse (which involves cursor manipulation). It lacks clear when-not-to-use scenarios or prerequisites.

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

• get_screen_infoA
  4.2/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. The description adds useful context about what specific display attributes are retrieved (resolution, origin, scale factor), which helps the agent understand the return format. However, it doesn't mention potential platform-specific behavior, refresh rates, or multi-monitor edge cases.

  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?

  A single, dense sentence with zero waste—every word contributes to understanding the tool's purpose and output. It's front-loaded with the core action ('Retrieve display configuration') followed by specific attributes, making it efficient and scannable.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  For a zero-parameter read-only tool with annotations covering safety, the description is nearly complete—it clearly states what data is returned. A minor gap is the lack of output schema or details on return format (e.g., structured object vs. raw text), but given the simplicity and annotations, this is acceptable.

  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?

  With 0 parameters and 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 4. The description appropriately omits parameter details since none exist, focusing instead on the return value semantics (what display configuration data is retrieved).

  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 specific action ('Retrieve') and resource ('display configuration'), listing exact attributes returned (number of displays, resolution, origin, scale factor). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'screenshot' or 'get_cursor_position' by focusing on hardware/OS-level display metadata rather than visual capture or pointer location.

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

  Usage Guidelines3/5

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

  The description implies usage for obtaining display hardware/software configuration details, but provides no explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives like 'screenshot' (for visual data) or 'get_ui_elements' (for UI component details). No prerequisites, exclusions, or comparative context with siblings are mentioned.

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

• list_windowsA
  4.2/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering safety. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: it specifies what data is returned (app name, title, ID, position, size, minimized state), explains the optional filtering capability, and details the fuzzy matching behavior (case-insensitive, partial name matching).

  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?

  Two sentences with zero waste. The first sentence front-loads the core purpose and data returned. The second sentence efficiently explains the optional filtering and fuzzy matching behavior. Every word earns its place.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  For a read-only list tool with good annotations and full schema coverage, the description is nearly complete. It explains what data is returned and filtering behavior. The main gap is lack of output schema, so the description doesn't specify return format structure, but this is reasonable given the tool's simplicity.

  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 fully documents the single parameter 'app'. The description adds marginal value by mentioning 'Optionally filter by application name' and explaining fuzzy matching, but doesn't provide additional semantic context beyond what's in the schema description field.

  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 verb ('List') and resource ('visible windows') with specific attributes returned (app name, title, ID, position, size, minimized state). It distinguishes from siblings like 'focus_window' or 'get_ui_elements' by focusing on window enumeration rather than interaction or element retrieval.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description provides clear context for when to use the optional filter ('Optionally filter by application name') and explains fuzzy matching behavior. However, it doesn't explicitly state when NOT to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_ui_elements' or 'focus_window' for different window-related tasks.

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

• open_applicationA
  4.2/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations by explaining the fuzzy matching feature and providing concrete examples. While annotations already indicate this is a destructive operation (destructiveHint: true), the description clarifies what 'destructive' means in this context - launching applications which changes system state. No contradiction with annotations exists.

  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 perfectly concise with two sentences that each earn their place. The first sentence states the core functionality, and the second provides important behavioral detail about fuzzy matching with a helpful example. No wasted words.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  For a single-parameter tool with good annotations and no output schema, the description is reasonably complete. It explains what the tool does, how to use it, and includes important behavioral details. However, it could benefit from mentioning potential failure modes or system requirements.

  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?

  With 100% schema description coverage, the input schema already fully documents the single parameter. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema by mentioning fuzzy matching, but doesn't provide additional semantic context about parameter constraints, format requirements, or edge cases.

  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 tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Launch') and resource ('application'), and distinguishes it from siblings by focusing on application launching rather than UI automation or system queries. It provides concrete examples of what can be launched.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description provides clear context about when to use this tool (to launch applications by name or bundle ID) and mentions fuzzy matching capability. However, it doesn't explicitly state when NOT to use it or name specific alternatives among the sibling tools for different scenarios.

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

• screenshotA
  4.2/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, establishing this as a safe read operation. The description adds valuable behavioral context beyond annotations: it specifies the return format ('base64-encoded image with dimension metadata') and provides important usage constraints about narration and progress updates. No contradictions with annotations exist.

  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 perfectly front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by mode options, return format, and behavioral constraints. Every sentence earns its place with zero wasted words, making it highly efficient while remaining comprehensive.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  For a tool with 9 parameters, no output schema, and read-only annotations, the description provides excellent context about what the tool does, behavioral constraints, and return format. The main gap is lack of explicit output schema documentation, but the description compensates well by specifying the return format and metadata.

  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?

  With 100% schema description coverage, the input schema already thoroughly documents all 9 parameters. The description mentions the three capture modes but doesn't add significant parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema. It meets the baseline for high schema coverage without compensating with extra parameter insights.

  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 specific action ('Capture a screenshot') and resource ('macOS screen'), with precise scope details ('full screen, a rectangular region, or a specific window by title'). It effectively distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'get_screen_info' or 'get_ui_elements' by focusing on image capture rather than information retrieval.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description provides clear context about when to use this tool (for capturing screenshots with various modes) and includes behavioral guidance ('Do not narrate visual observations or coordinate calculations. Brief task progress updates are acceptable.'). However, it doesn't explicitly mention when NOT to use it or name specific alternatives among sibling tools.

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

• dragA
  4.3/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations, such as the risk of silent failure if focus_window isn't called, macOS-specific gesture recognition requirements, and practical constraints like avoiding UI elements. While annotations indicate it's destructive and not read-only, the description elaborates on these traits with real-world implications, though it doesn't cover all possible edge cases like error handling.

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

  Conciseness4/5

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

  The description is well-structured and front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by best practices and usage notes. Each sentence adds value, but it could be slightly more concise by integrating some of the detailed tips into bullet points or reducing redundancy in the coordinate guidance.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  Given the tool's complexity (destructive, macOS-specific behavior) and lack of output schema, the description is largely complete, covering purpose, usage, risks, and best practices. However, it doesn't explicitly describe the return value or error conditions, which could leave gaps for an AI agent in handling failures or interpreting results.

  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?

  With 100% schema description coverage, the input schema already documents all parameters thoroughly. The description adds minimal parameter semantics beyond the schema, such as recommending duration ranges (600–1000 ms) and coordinate placement tips, but doesn't fundamentally enhance understanding of the parameters' roles or interactions beyond what the schema provides.

  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 tool's purpose with specific verbs ('drag from one screen coordinate to another') and resource ('screen coordinate'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like move_mouse or click. It precisely defines the action as a drag gesture over a specified duration, making its function unambiguous.

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

  Usage Guidelines5/5

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

  The description provides explicit guidance on when and how to use this tool, including prerequisites ('Always call focus_window on the target app immediately BEFORE dragging'), best practices ('Start coordinates must land on the window's title bar'), and alternatives ('Do not narrate visual observations or coordinate calculations'). It clearly distinguishes usage from other tools by specifying the drag context.

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

• clipboard_readA
  4.4/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, indicating a safe read operation. The description adds valuable context by specifying 'macOS clipboard' and 'plain text', which are not covered by annotations. It does not contradict annotations and provides useful platform and format details.

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

  Conciseness5/5

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

  The description is a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It is front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it highly concise and well-structured for quick understanding.

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

  Completeness4/5

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

  Given the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema, and clear annotations), the description is mostly complete. It specifies the platform (macOS) and output format (plain text), but could note potential limitations like empty clipboard or non-text content handling. However, for a read-only tool, it covers essential context adequately.

  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?

  With 0 parameters and 100% schema description coverage, the baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter information (as there are none), which is appropriate and does not detract from the schema's completeness.

  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 specific action ('Read') and resource ('contents of the macOS clipboard as plain text'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like clipboard_write. It precisely defines the tool's function without ambiguity.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description implies usage context (when you need clipboard contents), but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like type_text or press_key. It provides clear intent but lacks explicit guidance on exclusions or comparisons with siblings.

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

• get_ui_elementsA
  4.5/5.0
  Behavior4/5

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

  Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, which the description aligns with by describing a query operation. The description adds valuable context beyond annotations: security implications ('May return text content from visible UI elements including sensitive data'), coordinate system details ('Positions are in logical screen coordinates — pass directly to click tool'), and coverage limitations across different app types.

  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 efficiently structured with zero wasted sentences. It front-loads the core purpose, then sequentially covers output details, security notes, coordinate usage, coverage variability, and permission requirements—all in a compact, logical flow.

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

  Completeness5/5

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

  Given the tool's complexity (UI element querying with security and coverage nuances), the description is complete despite no output schema. It explains what data is returned (roles, titles, positions, sizes, states, text content), how to use outputs (coordinates for 'click' tool), limitations, and prerequisites. No critical gaps remain for agent understanding.

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

  Parameters3/5

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

  Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents all parameters. The description does not add any parameter-specific information beyond what the schema provides, such as explaining 'app' fuzzy matching details or 'role' filter examples. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema handles parameter documentation.

  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 specific action ('Query visible UI elements') and resource ('via macOS Accessibility API'), with detailed output information. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'screenshot' or 'list_windows' by focusing on UI element properties rather than screenshots or window lists.

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

  Usage Guidelines5/5

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

  Explicitly states when to use ('Query visible UI elements') and when not to use ('Coverage varies: native apps expose rich trees; Electron/web apps may expose partial trees; games/custom UIs may expose nothing'). It also mentions prerequisites ('Requires Accessibility permission') and implies alternatives like 'screenshot' for visual capture instead of element data.

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

• type_textA
  4.7/5.0
  Behavior5/5

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

  The description adds significant behavioral context beyond annotations: it discloses clipboard replacement ('Temporarily replaces clipboard contents'), data loss risk ('Non-text clipboard content... will be lost permanently'), and fallback behavior for secure fields. Annotations only indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so this extra detail is valuable.

  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 efficiently structured in three sentences: first states purpose, second details capabilities and risks, third provides alternative usage. Every sentence adds critical information with zero waste.

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

  Completeness5/5

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

  For a destructive tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is complete: it explains what the tool does, when to use alternatives, behavioral side effects, and parameter intent. No gaps remain given the tool's complexity.

  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 fully documents the 'text' parameter. The description repeats Unicode support but adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

  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?
