AdsAgent Skill Pack (docs)

Official

AdsAgent Tri-Channel Plugin

MCP here means Model Context Protocol (the Claude/Cursor tool-calling standard). It does not mean Multi-Channel Platform.

Public Claude plugin + skill pack for AdsAgent tri-channel hosted MCP: Meta, Google Ads, and TikTok.

Directory SEO one-liner: AdsAgent is a hosted Meta Ads MCP (Model Context Protocol) plus Google Ads & TikTok MCP — connect Claude/Cursor via adsagent.md/connect.

Install:

  • Claude plugin: claude plugin marketplace add adsagents/adsagent-ai-skills then claude plugin install adsagent@adsagent

  • Cursor plugin: install AdsAgent from Cursor Marketplace (this repo's .cursor-plugin/ + mcp.json)

  • Dashboard fallback: AdsAgent dashboard -> Settings -> MCP Access -> Copy install prompt (clients without plugin support)

Distribution split (important):

Support: support@adsagent.md

Also listed on Product Hunt, Cursor Directory, and MCP Market.

Current contract version: 0.7.69. The plugin slug is adsagent (marketplace key adsagent). New Meta connections default to the v2 product profile; all three hosted endpoints negotiate modern MCP 2026-07-28 stateless discovery while retaining supported legacy initialize clients.

Version history lives in CHANGELOG.md.

The local helper scripts/update_reminder.py compares strict semantic versions and stores only bounded version/timestamp state in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/adsagent-ai-skills/update-reminder-v1.json (or ~/.cache/...). Cache failure never blocks MCP work.

What This Is

  • A public Claude plugin marketplace package: behavior skills plus hosted MCP URLs via .mcp.json.

  • A behavior guide for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-aware clients.

  • A reliability and safety layer that tells agents when to retry, when to wait, and when to stop.

  • A versioned GitHub distribution for AdsAgent user onboarding and agent behavior guidance.

  • A data-minimization contract for AI agents that should not scan AdsAgent like a raw database.

  • Optionally, a Glama-deployable AdsAgent Skill Pack (docs) stdio MCP that lists and reads public skills/ Markdown. See docs/glama-release.md.

Related MCP server: synter-mcp-server

What This Is Not

  • Not the hosted AdsAgent Meta, Google Ads, or TikTok MCP backend. The optional Docker/Glama image only serves this repository's public docs; ads tools remain on the HTTP URLs in mcp.json and require AdsAgent OAuth.

  • Not the Anthropic Connectors Directory MCP listing (that is registered separately on the hosted servers).

  • Not a complete MCP tool reference.

  • Not an SDK.

  • Not a local transport relay for ads APIs.

  • Not a disclosure of AdsAgent backend routes, schemas, database tables, or internal diagnostics.

For Claude Code plugin installs, OAuth MCP setup comes from this repo's .mcp.json. For clients without plugin support, the AdsAgent dashboard install prompt remains the manual fallback:

AdsAgent dashboard -> Settings -> MCP Access -> Copy install prompt

Use that copied prompt only when you are not installing the Claude plugin bundle. This repository teaches agent behavior after the MCP connection exists.

Included Skills

Skill

Purpose

adsagent-router

Route AdsAgent requests to setup, reliability, insights, or copy workflows.

adsagent-setup

Connect through the AdsAgent dashboard install prompt and verify Meta, Google Ads, or TikTok readiness.

adsagent-notifications

Inspect and safely configure notification channels and Meta Ads Webhooks.

adsagent-reliability

Respect retry, backoff, session refresh, and concurrency limits.

agent-scheduled-tasks

Design, create, verify, update, pause, and delete agent-owned scheduled tasks without confusing reminders with execution proof.

meta-insights

Ask performance and MMP questions without overloading the server.

meta-copy

Copy or compare Meta ads with confirmation and operator-review safety.

google-ads-insights

Ask Google Ads customer, MCC, Search, PMax, and performance questions through Google Ads MCP.

tiktok-insights

Read TikTok performance and safely prepare native creative, campaign, and ad-group append workflows.

Progressive Disclosure

Agent clients load every Skill description for discovery, but should load only the selected SKILL.md body. Each entrypoint is intentionally small and links to local reference files that are read only when the selected workflow needs those details.

The files under docs/ are human-facing product and operator documentation. They are not automatic agent context and are not part of Skill reference traversal. Agent behavior contracts live under skills/ and are reached from the selected SKILL.md.

Agent Output Contract

Agents using AdsAgent should answer in Markdown by default:

## Answer
One-sentence answer.

## Scope
- Date:
- Entity:
- Grouping:
- Attribution / channel:

## Results
| Metric | Value |
| --- | ---: |

## Notes
- Data freshness:
- Limits or missing fields:
- Next safe action:

Do not dump JSON, CSV, hidden diagnostics, raw rows, or every returned field into chat. Clean the response into operator-facing tables and short bullets. If forensic raw inspection is needed, create an operator handoff instead of making raw rows the agent answer.

Semi-Black-Box Policy

This repository intentionally documents outcomes and agent behavior, not the complete internal interface. Agents should:

  • Read the live AdsAgent MCP guide after connecting.

  • Use available tools through the authenticated MCP session.

  • Avoid guessing hidden payload fields.

  • Avoid probing rejected requests.

  • Stop on operator-review responses and ask the AdsAgent operator to inspect internal diagnostics.

  • Use the smallest safe data plan before making calls.

  • Prefer grouped summaries and cleaned breakdowns over raw rows.

The external agent contract is: ask clear questions, respect limits, confirm before writes, and use dashboard-provided onboarding.

Official Source And Rights

This repository contains only the client-readable behavior pack. AdsAgent server source, credentials, schemas, routing logic, and operational diagnostics are not distributed here.

This skill pack is licensed under the MIT License. See LICENSE and NOTICE.md. Official releases come from this repository; a fork or modified package must not imply endorsement, affiliation, or support by adsagents LLC.

Example Prompts

Use AdsAgent to list my connected Meta products, Google Ads customers, or TikTok advertisers, then ask which scope's today data I want to inspect.
For Google Ads, inspect agent_method_profile, pick an enabled non-manager customer, and use one cached insights_query_consistent request when the profile is advertised.
For TikTok, inspect agent_method_profile and use one insights_query_consistent scopes request when advertised; otherwise use the native batch overview fallback.
Prepare a copy of this winning Meta ad into the target account, but ask me for confirmation before creating anything.
Group these distinct Meta Ads by language into the requested Campaign and AdSet layout. Prepare one grouped_plan, show every settings_source_ad_id and geography override, and wait for my approval before confirming once.

More examples are in docs/examples.md.

Validation

Run the local release contract and tests:

python scripts/validate_tri_channel_pack.py
python -m pytest -q

Release validation is fail-closed against the three committed snapshots in contracts/manifests/. Each snapshot is copied byte-for-byte from a committed service artifact and locked to its channel, source revision, public artifact path, metadata, and SHA-256 in contracts/manifests/provenance.json. CI does not make live network requests.

python scripts/validate_public_tool_manifests.py

An operator can deterministically update all three snapshots after the service manifest changes. The command rejects uncommitted, dirty, missing, or contract-incompatible sources and never fetches from the network:

python scripts/sync_public_tool_manifests.py \
  --source meta=/path/to/meta-tools.json \
  --source google=/path/to/google-tools.json \
  --source tiktok=/path/to/tiktok-tools.json

All three sources are mandatory. A missing referenced tool, an unproven required capability or gate, a stale provenance digest, or an absent channel fails release validation. --allow-missing exists only for explicit local diagnostics and is not used by release CI.

Installation

This repo ships as the adsagent Claude plugin (skills + .mcp.json MCP URLs). The GitHub repository name stays adsagent-ai-skills.

claude plugin marketplace add adsagents/adsagent-ai-skills
claude plugin install adsagent@adsagent

Update an existing user-scope install:

claude plugin update --scope user adsagent@adsagent

If claude plugin list shows duplicate local and user installs, keep user scope:

claude plugin uninstall --scope local adsagent@adsagent

Start a fresh Claude Code session after installing or updating.

Cloud / Cowork preinstall (settings snippet)

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "adsagent": {
      "source": {
        "source": "github",
        "repo": "adsagents/adsagent-ai-skills"
      }
    }
  },
  "enabledPlugins": ["adsagent@adsagent"]
}

After install, authenticate each MCP server shown in /mcp (Meta, Google, TikTok). Do not add headers.Authorization to .mcp.json; OAuth must remain the auth path.

Migrating from legacy plugin slugs

Older installs used adsagent-ai-skills@adsagent-ai-skills or adsagent-meta-ai-skills@adsagent-meta-ai-skills. The marketplace declares a rename to adsagent@adsagent. After migrating, remove legacy duplicates:

claude plugin uninstall --scope user adsagent-ai-skills@adsagent-ai-skills
claude plugin uninstall --scope user adsagent-meta-ai-skills@adsagent-meta-ai-skills

Codex CLI

codex plugin marketplace add adsagents/adsagent-ai-skills
codex plugin add adsagent@adsagent

Refresh:

codex plugin marketplace upgrade adsagent

Start a fresh Codex session after installing or upgrading.

Git fallback and other Agent-Skills-compatible clients

The skills in skills/ use the standard Agent Skills layout (skills/<name>/SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter). Clients that only consume skills (without the plugin MCP bundle) can clone manually:

git clone https://github.com/adsagents/adsagent-ai-skills.git ~/.codex/skills/adsagent-ai-skills

Those clients still need a separate MCP connection (dashboard install prompt or Connectors Directory). The plugin path is the one-step skills + MCP bundle.

Then open AdsAgent only if you need dashboard OAuth/token setup for non-plugin clients:

Settings -> MCP Access -> Copy install prompt

Paste the copied prompt into a fresh chat when the plugin bundle is not used. The prompt provides hosted HTTP MCP URLs for:

Meta default: https://adsagent.md/mcp/v2
Meta legacy fallback: https://adsagent.md/mcp
Google Ads: https://google.adsagent.md/mcp
TikTok: https://tiktok.adsagent.md/mcp

Important Runtime Rules

  • Hosted HTTP MCP only for ads work.

  • Use https://adsagent.md/mcp/v2 for new Meta connections; /mcp is the legacy fallback.

  • Do not run or relay the hosted AdsAgent ads MCP locally. The optional skill_pack_mcp image is a docs-only reader of this repository; it is not an ads backend.

  • Do not use a local relay unless the AdsAgent dashboard explicitly says to.

  • Cache connection setup where the client supports it.

  • Keep per-token MCP concurrency bounded.

  • Respect Retry-After.

  • Parse Retry-After from the HTTP header, top-level data, or JSON-RPC error.data.

  • Honor mcp_concurrency_limited with wait plus jitter.

  • Honor mcp_fanout_detected by switching to the platform batch overview tool instead of retrying the blocked single-scope request.

  • When agent_method_profile.profile_id=adsagent_agent_methods_v1 and its consistent read is present in the client-local catalog, use one insights_query_consistent request with scope or ordered scopes for all three platforms.

  • Without that profile, or when its advertised read is missing only from the client-local catalog, use the profile's named native fallback or the documented server-side tools: Meta/TikTok insights_query_batch_overview, Google google_ads_insights_overview_batch. Do not report a server registration failure from a local selector miss.

  • Query aggregated data first and never infer cross-platform capability parity from a shared tool name.

  • Report server-computed totals from the response; do not sum currently visible rows.

  • Trust totals only when meta.complete=true; missing scopes are unknown, never zero.

  • Poll queued tasks to terminal=true and return the artifact link instead of raw CSV.

  • Poll queued work directly with tasks_get_status(task_ref=...) when the server advertises direct task refs.

  • QuickCreate confirm tokens are single-use and expire after 15 minutes. Check expires_at; after confirm_token_invalid, prepare again, show the new summary, and obtain fresh explicit approval.

  • Poll Meta creation tasks with tasks_get_status(task_ref=..., response_mode=compact). On no_create_permission, direct the user to /dashboard/assets/fb-users; never change customer permissions or replay the failed creation automatically.

  • Avoid raw-row reads in normal user conversations.

  • Use Markdown tables for numbers.

  • Confirm before ad creation or modification.

  • Use grouped_plan for multiple distinct source Ads; never emulate it through a client-side series of copy mutations.

  • Stop on operator-review errors.

  • When an error includes support_ref, preserve and show it verbatim for support. It is not authorization; never invent, modify, enumerate, or replace it with tokens, request bodies, or logs.

Glama / Docker docs MCP

The root Dockerfile builds AdsAgent Skill Pack (docs) — a stdio MCP that exposes list_skills, get_skill, get_hosted_mcp_urls, and get_pack_readme. Glama Build → Make Release scores that docs server. It does not replace https://adsagent.md/mcp/v2, https://google.adsagent.md/mcp, or https://tiktok.adsagent.md/mcp. Details: docs/glama-release.md.

Available Tools

4 tools
get_hosted_mcp_urlsA

Return AdsAgent hosted HTTP MCP URLs from this repo's mcp.json.

Use this when a client needs the real Meta, Google Ads, or TikTok ads MCP endpoints. Those services require AdsAgent OAuth on the hosted URLs.

This docs server does not implement ads tools, does not accept tokens, and does not proxy those endpoints. Copy the https URLs into an MCP client and authenticate against AdsAgent hosted services.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the source (mcp.json), the OAuth requirement for hosted URLs, and the server's limitations (no implementation, no token acceptance, no proxying). This sets accurate expectations for the agent.

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?

Three sentences, with the primary action front-loaded in the first sentence. Each sentence contributes either usage guidance or critical limitations with no redundancy.

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 zero-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description is complete: it explains what is returned, when to use it, and what it does not do. An agent can safely and correctly invoke the 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?

The tool has zero parameters and the schema already makes this clear with 100% coverage. The description adds no parameter details, which is fine; a baseline of 4 is appropriate for a no-parameter tool.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'Return AdsAgent hosted HTTP MCP URLs from this repo's mcp.json.' This clearly states what the tool does and distinguishes it from sibling tools that operate on skills and readmes.

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?

It explicitly says 'Use this when a client needs the real Meta, Google Ads, or TikTok ads MCP endpoints,' and then clarifies what the docs server does not do (implement ads tools, accept tokens, proxy endpoints). This provides both a when-to-use and a when-not context.

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

get_pack_readmeA

Return this skill-pack VERSION and a README.md identity excerpt.

Use this to confirm pack version and the public 'what this is / is not' wording, including that a Glama or Docker image of this repo is not the hosted AdsAgent ads backend.

The excerpt stops before the per-skill table. It does not include secrets.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It usefully states what is returned (VERSION and README identity excerpt), what is excluded (per-skill table, secrets), and the identity nuance about the repo not being the hosted AdsAgent ads backend. It does not describe output format or error conditions, but for a zero-parameter read tool the disclosed boundaries are strong.

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 compact and front-loaded: the main action is stated in the first sentence, usage guidance follows, and boundary conditions are summarized in two short sentences. Every sentence earns its place without redundancy.

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 zero-parameter tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description fully covers what the agent needs: what the tool returns, its intended use, and its explicit exclusions. The nuance about the Glama/Docker image not being the hosted AdsAgent backend also prevents a plausible misunderstanding.

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 0 parameters, so parameter explanation is unnecessary. The description instead focuses on the meaningful output semantics, which is the right trade-off for an argument-less tool.

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 starts with a specific verb and resource: 'Return this skill-pack VERSION and a README.md identity excerpt.' This clearly distinguishes the tool from siblings like get_skill, get_hosted_mcp_urls, and list_skills by describing a unique output. The additional clarification about 'what this is / is not' wording further pins down its exact purpose.

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 explicitly says 'Use this to confirm pack version and the public wording,' giving a clear and direct usage context. It does not, however, name alternative sibling tools or state when not to use them, so it falls short of full exclusion guidance.

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

get_skillA

Return one skill's SKILL.md and optional named reference files.

Use this after list_skills when you need the full public instructions for a single skill. Pass references only for Markdown files that live in that skill folder (progressive-disclosure contracts).

Rejects unknown skill ids and any path that leaves the skill directory. This is documentation retrieval, not a live ads API.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
skill_idYesSkill folder name under skills/, for example meta-insights or adsagent-router.
referencesNoOptional skill-local .md filenames to include with SKILL.md, such as query-contract.md. Paths must stay inside that skill folder.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses validation behavior ('Rejects unknown skill ids and any path that leaves the skill directory'), the read-only nature ('documentation retrieval, not a live ads API'), and the progressive-disclosure contract for references. It doesn't cover errors for nonexistent reference files, auth, or rate limits, but for a simple retrieval tool these are not critical omissions.

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 three sentences with zero filler. The core purpose is front-loaded in the first sentence, usage guidance follows in the second, and the final sentence provides validation and identity context. Every sentence 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 simple two-parameter read-only tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the key context: what is returned, when to use it, the progressive-disclosure reference convention, and validation rules. It does not specify the exact response structure or behavior when an in-folder reference file is missing, but the tool is simple enough that the description is nearly 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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already thoroughly documents both skill_id and references, including examples and path constraints. The description reinforces these semantics with 'progressive-disclosure contracts' and the rejection of path escape, but it does not add substantial new parameter-level 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 opens with a specific action and resource: 'Return one skill's SKILL.md and optional named reference files.' It is clearly distinguished from list_skills (which lists skills) by saying to use it after list_skills for the full public instructions of a single skill, and from the live ads API identity statement.

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?

Explicitly says 'Use this after list_skills when you need the full public instructions for a single skill,' giving a clear when. It also instructs when to pass references (only for Markdown files in that skill folder) and that invalid ids/paths are rejected. However, it does not explicitly compare to the sibling tools get_pack_readme or get_hosted_mcp_urls, so it falls short of a full when-not/alternatives roadmap.

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

list_skillsA

List public AdsAgent skills shipped in this repository.

Use this first when you need a catalog of documentation skills (router, setup, reliability, notifications, scheduled tasks, Meta, Google Ads, TikTok) before opening a specific SKILL.md.

Returns each skill id, YAML frontmatter description, and first Markdown heading. This tool only reads local files under skills/. It does not connect to Meta, Google Ads, or TikTok and does not run campaigns.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does so well. It discloses that the tool 'only reads local files under skills/, does not connect to Meta, Google Ads, or TikTok and does not run campaigns,' which prevents the agent from expecting external side effects. It also describes the return contents, giving useful behavioral expectations beyond a simple 'list' label.

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 concise and well-structured, front-loading the main action and resource. Each sentence earns its place: what it returns, when to use it, and what it does not do. No redundant or vague language.

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 zero-parameter read-only listing tool with no output schema, the description is complete. It names the domain of skills, gives the intended first-use pattern, describes return fields, and explicitly scopes its behavior. An agent has everything needed to invoke it and interpret the result.

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 zero parameters, so there are no parameter semantics to document. The description still usefully explains the output shape, which is more relevant for this tool. A baseline of 4 is appropriate since parameter documentation is not needed.

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 uses a specific verb and resource: 'List public AdsAgent skills shipped in this repository.' It clearly distinguishes this catalog-listing tool from siblings like get_skill, which opens a specific SKILL.md, and from get_hosted_mcp_urls/get_pack_readme. The scope is 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 explicitly says 'Use this first when you need a catalog of documentation skills... before opening a specific SKILL.md,' providing a clear when-to-use directive. It does not spell out when-not-to-use or name alternatives, but the context is strong enough for an agent to select it appropriately.

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

Scored across 4 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clear, distinct responsibility: list_skills catalogs available skills, get_skill retrieves a specific skill's documentation, get_pack_readme returns pack identity/version, and get_hosted_mcp_urls exposes hosted endpoint URLs. There is no meaningful overlap or ambiguity between them.

Naming Consistency5/5

Tool names follow a predictable verb_noun pattern: get_* for single-item retrieval and list_skills for collection retrieval. The naming is consistent, descriptive, and easy to infer.

Tool Count5/5

Four tools is well-scoped for a documentation/skill-pack server. Each tool earns its place and covers a necessary retrieval function without unnecessary bloat.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface covers the full documentation workflow: discover available skills, fetch individual skill details, confirm pack identity/version, and retrieve hosted MCP URLs. There are no obvious dead ends for the stated documentation-only purpose.
