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 mentions 'Search the web' but fails to describe key behaviors such as rate limits, authentication needs, result format, or error handling. This leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool operates beyond basic functionality.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—a single sentence that directly states the tool's function without any fluff or redundancy. It is front-loaded and wastes no words, making it efficient for quick comprehension by an AI agent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It covers the basic purpose but misses critical context like behavioral traits, result format, and error handling. For a search tool with three parameters and no structured output information, this minimal description leaves too many operational details unspecified.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, documenting all three parameters (query, count, index) clearly. The description adds no additional semantic context beyond what the schema provides, such as examples or usage tips. With high schema coverage, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate, as the description doesn't compensate but doesn't need to heavily.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Search the web using Marginalia Search.' It specifies the verb ('Search') and the resource ('the web'), and mentions the specific search engine ('Marginalia Search'). However, since there are no sibling tools, it cannot differentiate from alternatives, which prevents a perfect score of 5.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, prerequisites, or contextual constraints. It simply states what the tool does without indicating scenarios where it might be preferred or avoided, leaving the agent with no usage direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The tool 'search-marginalia' has a clear and distinct purpose of searching the web using Marginalia Search, leaving no room for confusion or misselection.
Since there is only one tool, naming consistency is inherently perfect. The tool name 'search-marginalia' follows a clear verb_noun pattern, and with no other tools to compare, there are no deviations or inconsistencies in naming conventions.
A single tool for a web search server is too few for the apparent scope, as it lacks basic functionality like filtering results, handling pagination, or accessing specific search features. This minimal toolset feels thin and limits the server's utility, making it borderline inadequate for typical search-related tasks.
The tool surface is severely incomplete for a web search domain. While 'search-marginalia' provides a core search function, there are significant gaps such as no ability to refine searches, view result details, or manage search history. This will likely cause agent failures when more complex search operations are needed.
