Server Quality Checklist

67%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.1.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct resource or action (e.g., certificates, organizations, servers, sites, deployments, logs, etc.). Even list/get pairs for the same resource are differentiated by returning summaries vs. full details. The generic forge_get tool is explicitly for uncovered endpoints, reducing ambiguity.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Most tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (list_* for collections, get_* for single items). The exception is forge_get, which inverts the order, but it's a single outlier and its purpose is clear.

    Tool Count5/5

    20 tools provide a comprehensive read-only surface covering servers, sites, databases, and configurations without being overwhelming. The count is well-scoped for the domain and includes a generic catch-all for edge cases.

    Completeness5/5

    The tools cover all major read areas of Laravel Forge: organization, server, site, deployment, log, job, process, database, backup, and integration information. The forge_get tool fills any gaps by allowing arbitrary GET requests to documented endpoints, ensuring no important read operations are missing.

How to sync the server with GitHub?

Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. The description adds that it only returns names and grants and never reads contents, providing additional behavioral context beyond annotations.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single front-loaded sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and constraints without unnecessary detail.

    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?

    With 8 parameters and no output schema, the description could better explain the response format. It is adequate but lacks completeness for a tool with complex inputs.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents parameters. The description does not add further meaning to any parameter.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states it lists database schemas or database users and their grants, specifying it never reads contents. This distinguishes it from other list tools but does not explicitly compare to siblings.

    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 schemas or users but lacks explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives or exclusions.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description's statement that this is an audit read and cannot run a command reinforces but does not substantially add beyond the annotations. No contradictions are present.

    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 two sentences, efficiently conveying the tool's purpose and key limitation. There is no extraneous content, and the important information is front-loaded.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    Given the tool has 8 parameters, nested objects, and no output schema, the description is minimal. It does not explain pagination, response format, or how to interpret the history. For a simple list endpoint, it is adequate but not fully comprehensive.

    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 baseline is 3. The description does not add any parameter-specific details beyond what the schema provides, so it meets but does not exceed expectations.

    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 lists the history of commands run from a site's Commands panel, including who ran them and when. It also distinguishes itself by noting it is an audit read and cannot run a command, which helps differentiate from sibling tools like list_server_events or get_site.

    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 specifies that this tool is for auditing purposes and not for running commands, providing clear context on when to use it. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or point to alternative tools for running commands, leaving some guidance implicit.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds value by noting that the deployment output log requires a broader scope (site:manage-deploys) and that read-only tokens will get a 403 for the log while the summary works. This behavioral insight goes beyond the 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 concise with two sentences. The first sentence immediately states the purpose, and the second adds critical scope information. Every sentence is valuable and there is no redundancy.

    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 absence of an output schema, the description lists the key fields returned (commit, author, status, etc.) and includes a scope-related caveat. It is fairly complete for a single-item retrieval tool, though it could mention error handling or not found scenarios.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for all parameters. The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline expectation. No extra parameter guidance is provided.

    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 it returns detailed information about a single deployment, listing fields like commit, author, status, timings, and failure info. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_deployments (list) and get_deployment_script (script).

    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 when needing detailed deployment information but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives. It does mention a scope requirement for the log, providing some usage context, but lacks direct guidance on when to use this versus other tools.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description reinforces the read-only nature but adds no further behavioral context beyond what annotations offer.

    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 precise sentences with no wasted words. The purpose is front-loaded, and every sentence contributes meaningful information.

    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 read-only retrieval tool with no output schema, the description adequately explains what it returns and that it is safe. It could mention return format but is sufficient for 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 fully documents parameters. The description adds no additional semantics beyond mentioning 'site' implicitly, meeting baseline without extra value.

    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 identifies the tool returns the deployment script (specific verb and resource) and distinguishes it as read-only. It differentiates from siblings like get_deployment by specifying it retrieves the script commands.

    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 states 'Read-only: this cannot change the script,' indicating safe usage. However, it does not mention when to avoid using this tool or suggest alternatives among siblings.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds the authorization requirement (site:meta scope), which is valuable. However, it does not discuss pagination, rate limits, or data format beyond what the schema provides, so the added transparency is limited.

    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 that immediately communicates the tool's purpose and key details. Every word contributes meaning, with no fluff or repetition.

    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 8 parameters, full schema descriptions, and annotations, the description adequately covers the core purpose. However, the lack of output schema and brief description means the agent must infer response format from the schema fields alone. Still, for a listing tool, this is 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 coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not provide additional meaning for parameters beyond the schema. The mention of 'type, status and expiry' relates to the output, not input parameters, so no extra value.

    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 explicitly states the tool lists a site's SSL certificates with type, status, and expiry, and identifies it as the read to use for certificate-expiry checks. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_sites or list_domains.

    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 gives clear guidance: it is 'the read to use for certificate-expiry checks' and mentions the required scope ('site:meta'). While it doesn't explicitly list when not to use it or alternatives, the context is sufficient for an agent to decide.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and open-world behavior. The description adds transparent details about the output (versions, default, patch levels) without contradicting 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?

    Two sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence immediately states the tool's functionality, and the second adds a practical use case. Perfectly concise.

    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 no output schema, the description adequately describes what is returned (versions, default, patch levels). It does not specify structure, but for a simple list this is sufficient. Parameter handling is clear from the schema.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are fully described in the schema. The description does not add extra meaning beyond stating it's for a server, which is already covered. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states that the tool returns the PHP versions installed on a server, including the default version and patch levels. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_server (general server info) and list_servers (list servers).

    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 a clear use case ('spotting servers left on an end-of-life version'), implying when to use. It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the purpose is narrowly defined, and alternatives are evident from sibling names.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint) already indicate safe, non-destructive behavior. The description adds useful clarification, especially for the 'laravel-maintenance' integration, without contradicting 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?

    Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, and a secondary sentence clarifying an enum value. No unnecessary words. Highly concise.

    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 read-only status check with 4 parameters (3 required), the description covers purpose and key clarification. No output schema is present, but expected return is boolean. Lacks mention of authentication or prerequisite (e.g., server existence), but annotations cover safety. Overall adequate.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning for the 'integration' parameter by clarifying that 'laravel-maintenance' answers the maintenance mode question. However, it does not elaborate on 'server', 'site', or 'organization' beyond schema descriptions.

    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 checks whether a specific first-party Laravel integration is enabled, listing the possible integrations. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_site (which retrieves general site info) and list_certificates, etc.

    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 context but does not explicitly guide when to choose this tool over alternatives. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned. Sibling tools include many list operations, but no comparative guidance.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and openWorldHint=true, so the description's main job is to add context. It does so by naming the returned fields and the purpose (checking workers). No contradictions; the description complements annotations well.

    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 concise sentences front-load the key information: what the tool returns and why to use it. Every word adds value, and there is no fluff.

    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 no output schema, the description covers the essential return structure (command, user, process count, status) and purpose. Pagination and response format are not detailed, but the schema parameters (cursor, page_size) imply pagination support, which is adequate for a straightforward list tool.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with all seven parameters described in detail. The description does not add additional parameter-level information beyond what is in the schema, so it meets the baseline of 3. No extra value is provided, but none is required.

    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 lists daemons and queue workers on a server, specifying returned fields (command, user, process count, status) and the intended use case (checking queue workers are running and correctly sized). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_servers or list_certificates.

    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 gives an explicit use case ('Use it to check queue workers are running and correctly sized'), which helps the agent decide when to invoke this tool. It does not provide negative usage cases or alternatives, but the use case is clear enough for its simple purpose.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and open-world behavior. The description adds value by specifying the tool returns schedule/retention/destination/databases and is intended to answer about backup existence. It does not cover pagination or sorting behavior, but these are documented in the schema.

    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: it defines the tool, states its purpose, and explains a limitation. Every sentence adds value; there is no redundancy or unnecessary detail.

    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?

    The tool has 7 parameters and no output schema. The description explains the output fields and clarifies a key limitation (no instance listing). It leaves some behavior (sorting, pagination) to the schema, but overall it is sufficient for an agent to understand the tool's purpose and scope.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not elaborate on parameters beyond stating the output fields; it adds no additional meaning to the parameter definitions already in 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 explicitly states the tool lists database backup configurations including schedule, retention, destination, and covered databases. It answers a specific question ('is this server being backed up?') and differentiates from any potential sibling by clarifying it does not list backup instances.

    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: it lists configurations, not instances. It notes that listing instances requires a different scope and is not exposed here, giving implicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives. However, it does not explicitly name an alternative tool for instances.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds context about the returned fields (commit, author, status, etc.), reinforcing the read-only nature without contradicting 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?

    Two sentences, no redundant information, front-loaded with purpose and key use cases. 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?

    Although no output schema exists, the description mentions the type of data returned (commit, author, status, etc.). It does not explicitly discuss pagination, but parameters like cursor and page_size are documented in the schema. Good enough for a list tool.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-specific guidance, but the schema already describes each parameter adequately.

    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 lists a site's deployment history with specific fields (commit, author, status, duration, timestamps) and distinguishes from get_deployment, which inspects a single deployment.

    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?

    Provides explicit use cases: finding when a site last shipped or identifying a failed deployment to inspect with get_deployment. Could be more explicit about when not to use it, but the guidance is clear and helpful.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, indicating safe, non-destructive behavior. The description adds value by specifying the displayed fields (command, user, frequency, last run state) and the scoping options (server or site), which are not covered by annotations. No contradictions.

    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 identifies the resource and output, the second clarifies the use case. Every word earns its place, making it highly efficient.

    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?

    Despite no output schema, the description explains the returned fields (command, user, frequency, last run state) and the two scopes. It misses mentioning pagination or cursor behavior, but those are in the schema. Overall, it provides sufficient context for an agent to understand the tool's purpose and outputs.

    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 baseline is 3. The description adds minimal parameter meaning beyond hinting at the 'site' parameter's role. It does not elaborate on other parameters like sort, cursor, filter, etc., which are adequately described in 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?

    Description clearly states it lists cron/scheduled jobs with specific scope (server or site) and details shown (command, user, frequency, last run state). The use case 'confirm a schedule exists and is firing' adds precision, distinguishing it from other listing tools.

    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?

    Provides explicit usage guidance ('use it to confirm a schedule exists and is firing'). However, no direct comparison with sibling tools or when-not-to-use scenarios are given, but the context is clear enough for a simple listing tool.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already signal readOnly, openWorld, idempotent. Description adds value by listing what data is returned. No contradictions.

    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?

    Single, efficient sentence. Front-loaded with purpose, no fluff.

    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 simple read tool, description covers return fields, parameters are documented in schema, sibling tools exist. No output schema needed given description.

    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 good descriptions. Tool description adds no extra parameter meaning beyond what 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 'Get one server in full' and lists specific fields (provider, region, sizes, PHP/db versions, IPs, tags, provisioning state), distinguishing it from list_servers (list all) and get_server_php (specific).

    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?

    Implies use when detailed single-server info is needed; references required param from list_servers. Does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives, but sibling tools context helps.

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

  • Behavior5/5

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

    Annotations already indicate read-only, open-world, and idempotent behavior. The description goes beyond by detailing what events are covered (provisioning steps, restarts, config changes, who triggered them, success/failure), which adds valuable behavioral context beyond the 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 two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, and every phrase adds value. No redundancy or extraneous information.

    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 7 parameters and no output schema, the description could provide more context on the return structure or pagination. It explains the essence well but lacks details on what the response contains, leaving some gaps for an agent.

    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 each parameter well-described in the schema itself (e.g., 'Server id from list_servers.'). The description does not add any parameter-specific meaning beyond what's already in the schema, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool lists recent Forge activity for a server, including specific event types and success status. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list_servers by positioning itself as an audit trail, and the concrete examples ('provisioning steps, service restarts, configuration changes') give specific verb+resource understanding.

    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 when-to-use context, explicitly calling it 'the first place to look when something changed unexpectedly.' However, it does not discuss when not to use the tool or provide alternatives, so it misses some usage guidance.

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

  • Behavior5/5

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

    Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, openWorld. The description adds transparency by naming required scope (server:manage-logs) and clarifying its only write power (clearing logs). No contradictions.

    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 concise sentences: first covers purpose and options, second adds usage guidance and permission context. No wasted words, front-loaded with main purpose.

    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?

    The description covers purpose, usage, log types, and permissions adequately for selection. Missing output format details (e.g., streaming vs lines), but acceptable for a simple tail tool. Output schema not present, so not required.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal parameter semantics beyond the schema (e.g., log types are listed but schema already has enum). The usage hint ('first place to look') is useful but not parameter-specific.

    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 it tails site logs (application or Nginx access/error), directly linked to troubleshooting errors. It distinguishes well from sibling tools focused on certificates, servers, sites, etc.

    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 marks this as the first place to check for site errors, providing clear when-to-use guidance. Does not explicitly state when not to use or name alternatives, but sibling tool list makes context clear.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint, so the description's behavioral disclosure is supplementary. It adds that the tool supports filter/sort/include and mentions the include parameter, which provides useful operational context beyond the annotations. No contradictions.

    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: first lists the returned fields, second gives actionable usage advice. Every sentence is purposeful and concise. Information is front-loaded with the action and resource.

    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?

    The description covers the main purpose and output fields. With 6 parameters fully documented in the schema and no output schema, the description adequately describes what the tool returns and how to use it. The mention of pagination or cursor is missing but schema covers it. The guidance to find server ids completes the context for a list 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?

    Schema coverage is 100%, so all parameters are already documented in the schema. The description adds value by recommending a specific value for include ("tags"), which provides semantic guidance. It does not repeat schema descriptions, making it efficient.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the action (list), the resource (servers in an organisation), and enumerates key returned fields (provider, region, size, PHP version, IP addresses, provisioning status). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_server (single server) or list_sites (different resource).

    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?

    Explicit advice to 'use this to find a server id for the other tools' provides clear context for when to use this tool. It also suggests trying include="tags" to enrich results, though it does not explicitly state when not to use it. The context is clear and helpful.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint. The description adds value by noting that the hosting server is not included by default and how to include it, which is useful behavioral context beyond the 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?

    Two sentences with no wasted words. First sentence states purpose and output, second gives usage guidance. All information is front-loaded and essential.

    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 no output schema, the description lists returned fields. Pagination is implicitly covered by schema parameters (cursor, page_size), but not mentioned in description. However, this is acceptable as the schema carries that burden.

    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?

    Schema coverage is 100% with parameter descriptions, but the description adds concrete usage context for the 'include' parameter (e.g., include="server"), which enhances understanding beyond the schema's generic description.

    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 'List every site' and clearly specifies the resource (sites) and scope (across all servers), listing the fields returned. It distinguishes from listing sites server by server, which is a sibling alternative.

    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 recommends preferring this over listing sites server by server, and provides concrete guidance on using include="server" to get hosting info. It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the sibling list provides context for alternatives.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint, so the safety profile is clear. Description adds behavioral context about org-level addressing, which is valuable beyond annotations. No contradictions.

    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, no filler. First sentence efficiently lists return fields, second sentence provides critical context. Every word earns its place.

    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 rich annotations (read-only, idempotent) and full schema coverage, the description sufficiently covers what the tool returns and clarifies a potential organizational confusion. No output schema needed.

    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?

    Schema coverage is 100%, so description does not repeat parameter descriptions. However, it adds value by clarifying that 'site' comes from list_sites and that organization is optional with default context, which aids correct usage.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Description uses specific verb 'Get' and resource 'site', lists exact fields returned (domain, aliases, etc.), and clearly distinguishes from sibling list_sites by emphasizing full detail.

    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 states that no server ID is needed because Forge addresses at organization level, which provides clear usage context. However, it does not explicitly mention when to use this versus alternatives or when not to use.

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

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint, covering safety and behavioral traits. The description adds value by specifying the exact resource (organisations) and return fields (slugs), which is beyond the annotations' scope.

    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 concise sentences with no superfluous information. Front-loaded with the key action and resource, followed by essential context. Every sentence earns its place.

    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 simplicity of the tool, the annotations, and the full schema coverage, the description provides complete context. It explains the role of this tool in the workflow and how it connects to sibling tools.

    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 5 parameters. The description does not add parameter information, but also does not need to. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the verb 'list', the resource 'organisations', and what it returns ('with their slugs'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being the starting point to obtain slugs needed by other tools.

    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 tells the agent to start here when the organisation slug is unknown, and notes that other tools require the slug. Provides clear context for when to use this tool versus alternatives.

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

  • Behavior5/5

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

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, and idempotentHint. The description adds value by specifying the returned data includes aliases and certificate state, which is beyond the annotation hints. No contradictions.

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, and contains no extraneous words. Every sentence adds value.

    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?

    The description lacks output schema details, but the annotations and parameter schema compensate somewhat. It could mention pagination or the exact return format, but it's still mostly complete for a list endpoint.

    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 detailed descriptions for all 8 parameters. The description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states it lists domains attached to a site, including aliases and certificate state. It distinguishes from sibling tool list_certificates by mentioning pairing for SSL audit.

    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 explicitly suggests pairing with list_certificates to audit SSL expiry, providing clear usage context. It implies when to use this tool (to view domains and their certificate states) and hints at a related tool for deeper analysis.

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

  • Behavior5/5

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

    Annotations provide readOnlyHint, openWorldHint, idempotentHint. The description adds that writes are impossible, some reads (like .env contents) are refused, and gives examples of endpoints, significantly expanding behavioral context beyond annotations.

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is well-structured and each sentence adds value, though slightly longer than necessary; could be more concise while maintaining clarity.

    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?

    Despite no output schema, the description fully explains allowed endpoints, refused operations, and parameter usage, providing sufficient context for an AI to select and invoke the tool correctly.

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

    Parameters5/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds substantial value: explains path must be relative to API base, no query string in path, provides example path, and describes query parameter usage with examples.

    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 'Perform an arbitrary GET against the Forge API for endpoints the named tools do not cover', with specific examples (monitors, firewall rules, etc.), and distinguishes it from sibling tools by indicating it covers endpoints not covered by named tools.

    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 explicitly states when to use this tool (for endpoints not covered by named tools) and when not to use it (writes are impossible, certain sensitive reads are refused with explanation), providing clear guidance on alternatives.
