Tool Scores

• optidev_context_analyzerC
  2.2/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure, but it only mentions AI-powered relevance scoring and vector search. It doesn't disclose safety (read-only vs. mutating), API key requirements, side effects, or what happens when enableAI is false.

  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 short and front-loaded as a noun phrase, but it's under-specified and doesn't state the action verb. It's concise but not structured in a way that clearly communicates the tool's function.

  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?

  For a tool with 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is completely inadequate. It doesn't explain what the tool does with the prompt, expected output, or any prerequisites, making it insufficient for an 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?

  Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 4 parameters, so baseline is 3. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema already provides, but no compensation is needed.

  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 says 'Enhanced context analysis with AI-powered relevance scoring and vector search,' indicating it analyzes context and adds AI features, but it lacks a specific verb+resource and doesn't mention that the context is for Optimizely. It also doesn't distinguish this from sibling tools like optidev_code_analyzer.

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

  Usage Guidelines1/5

  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. The description doesn't mention prerequisites, alternatives, or any use-case context, leaving the agent without a basis for selection.

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

• optidev_debug_helperC
  2.5/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  No annotations are provided, and the description only says it 'provides intelligent debugging assistance.' It does not disclose what the tool does with the provided inputs, whether it returns suggestions or only analyzes, or whether it is read-only.

  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 a single, concise sentence, but it is under-specified. The brevity omits important details that would help an agent use the tool effectively, so it reads more like a placeholder than a well-crafted summary.

  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?

  With no output schema, no annotations, and only a generic description, the tool lacks sufficient context. It does not explain what the output looks like, when to invoke it, or how it integrates with the sibling tools, making it incomplete for reliable selection.

  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 documents all three parameters with descriptions, covering 100% of the parameter semantics. The tool description adds no additional meaning or context beyond what the schema already provides.

  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 introduces the tool as providing 'debugging assistance for Optimizely-related issues,' which signals a general purpose. However, the phrase 'intelligent debugging assistance' is vague and does not clearly differentiate it from sibling tools like optidev_code_analyzer or optidev_context_analyzer.

  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 offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus the alternatives. It does not mention that it should be used for errors/bugs, nor does it specify situations where another tool would be more appropriate.

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

• optidev_project_helperC
  2.5/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only lists service areas ('setup', 'migration', 'development guidance') without describing any side effects, permissions, or what actions will be performed. For a tool that likely mutates project state, 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.

  Conciseness3/5

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

  The description is a short, front-loaded phrase, making it easy to read. However, it is under-specified for the tool's complexity—it does not explain the enum values, expected inputs, or behavior. It is concise but not useful enough to be considered well-structured.

  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?

  With no annotations, no output schema, and an enum of request types, the description should clarify how each requestType maps to behaviors and what the agent should expect. The description is merely a list of service areas and does not help the agent select parameters or interpret results, leaving the overall context incomplete.

  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 covers all three parameters with descriptions (requestType enum, targetVersion, projectDetails), giving 100% schema coverage. The tool description adds no parameter-level meaning, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate. No contradictions or 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?

  The description lists three broad capabilities ('Project setup, migration assistance, and development guidance') but lacks a specific verb+resource construction. It does not clearly distinguish itself from sibling tools like optidev_context_analyzer or optidev_implementation_guide, so the agent cannot confidently infer what unique outcomes this tool produces.

  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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It implies setup/migration/config scenarios but does not state exclusions, prerequisites, or mention sibling tools. The agent is left to infer usage context without support.

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

• optidev_code_analyzerC
  2.9/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It mentions 'real-time' but does not describe return values, whether the tool makes any changes, or any side effects. There is no mention of output format or error conditions, leaving the agent with limited understanding of what to expect.

  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 front-loads the core purpose ('Real-time code analysis'). It contains no filler or redundant information, and the critical terms (performance, security, best practices) are immediately visible. This is appropriately sized for the tool's simplicity.

  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?

  The tool has no output schema and no annotations, so the description is the only source for understanding the tool's behavior. It explains what the tool analyzes but not what it returns, how the analysis is presented, or any limitations. For an agent to invoke and use the tool effectively, more detail about the response or usage context is needed.

  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 schema descriptions cover all three parameters with 100% coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add additional parameter-level detail beyond mentioning performance, security, and best practices, which aligns with the analysisType enum. It does not compensate for any gaps because there are none.

  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 identifies the tool as a code analyzer with a focus on performance, security, and best practices. It distinguishes it from siblings like 'context_analyzer' and 'debug_helper' by specifying the resource (code) and the analysis domains. However, it lacks an explicit action verb like 'analyzes' and could be more specific about accepting a code snippet.

  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 'optidev_context_analyzer' or 'optidev_debug_helper'. It does not state any prerequisites, exclusions, or preferred scenarios. The agent is left to infer usage solely from the tool name and schema.

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

• optidev_implementation_guideB
  3.2/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'analyzes' and 'provides guidance,' but does not disclose whether the tool has side effects, requires authentication, or what the output format is. The word 'complete' overpromises without specifying boundaries, leaving the agent uncertain about the actual behavior.

  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, front-loaded sentence: 'Analyzes Jira tickets and provides complete implementation guidance.' There is zero wasted text, and it immediately communicates the core function. It is appropriately sized for the tool's apparent simplicity.

  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 2 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too sparse to be complete. It does not explain what 'complete implementation guidance' includes, what the output looks like, or how this tool differs from the sibling tools. The schema helps with parameters, but the overall behavior remains underspecified.

  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 schema descriptions cover 100% of parameters (ticketContent and projectContext) with clear explanations. 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.

  Purpose4/5

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

  The description clearly states the tool analyzes Jira tickets and provides implementation guidance, which specifies the resource (Jira tickets) and the outcome (guidance). It is distinct from sibling tools like debug_helper or code_analyzer, though it doesn't explicitly name them.

  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 usage context is implied: use when you have Jira tickets and need implementation guidance. However, there is no explicit when-not-to-use, no comparison to alternatives, and no mention of prerequisites (e.g., Is projectContext required?). This is typical of a tool with implied usage.

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