Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.7.2
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: fetch_asset downloads a single file, grab_site downloads a full page's assets, read_url converts a page to Markdown, web_search performs searches, and get_status reports server health. No overlap or ambiguity.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., fetch_asset, get_status, read_url), making them predictable and easy to understand.
Tool Count5/55 tools is well-scoped for a web utility server, covering assets, pages, search, and status without being excessive or insufficient.
Completeness5/5The tool set covers the primary workflows for the server's purpose: fetching single assets, grabbing full pages, reading web content, searching, and health checks. No obvious gaps exist.
Average 4.5/5 across 5 of 5 tools scored.

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?
No annotations provided, so description carries the burden. It discloses keyless operation, multiple providers, fusion merging, and error handling. This provides sufficient behavioral context for an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no redundant information. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple search tool with 2 params and no output schema, the description covers return format, provider details, and use case. It is complete and sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, with descriptions in schema matching the description. The description does not add new semantic meaning beyond what's in the input schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Search the web across multiple providers' with a specific verb and resource, and clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like fetch_asset or read_url which are not search tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description says 'Use this to discover URLs or answer open-ended questions before reading pages.' This provides clear context for when to use, but does not explicitly exclude cases or mention 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?
Despite no annotations, the description fully discloses behavior: unlocking ladder, Markdown output, stripping control characters, prompt-injection fencing with warning, and error string on failure. No missing critical traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Information-dense but well-structured: front-loaded with primary purpose, then escalation ladder, usage context, output details, and error case. Could slightly trim but overall efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema and only one parameter, the description covers all necessary context: operation, success/failure behavior, output format, security handling. No gaps identified.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Only one parameter 'url' with schema coverage 100%. Schema description already specifies 'Absolute http(s) URL'. The tool description does not add new meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it reads one web page and returns clean Markdown, with a specific escalation ladder. It distinguishes from siblings like 'fetch_asset' by targeting blocked or client-side rendered pages.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use (HTTP fetch blocked by 403/429, bot-walls, client-side rendering). Provides context that it beats most common bot-walls, but does not explicitly mention when not to use or name an alternative 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?
Discloses saving to disk, return format as JSON, and error string on failure. Mentions unlock ladder but no authorization details. No annotations present so description carries full burden; adequately transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences, each adding value. First sentence core purpose, second usage guidance, third parameter and error details. Front-loaded and no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Comprehensive for a simple download tool: explains return structure, error case, optional parameter, and relationship to siblings. No output schema but description suffices.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description restates parameter meanings (direct URL, directory) but adds little beyond schema. Does not explain allowed file types or URL restrictions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the tool downloads a single asset file, saves it to disk, and returns JSON. Specifies resource type (asset) and verb (download, save), and distinguishes from sibling grab_site.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says to use for one specific file by direct URL, and directs to grab_site for whole-page assets. Also references read_url for authentication context.
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?
Describes the process (unlock ladder, download, extract), output (JSON manifest or error), side effects (saves files). No annotations, so burden is on description; it does well but lacks details on auth, rate limits, or performance.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Concise at 4 sentences, front-loaded with main action, then guidance, defaults, and error handling. Every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, but description explains return format (JSON manifest with local file paths or error string). Mentions unlock ladder but doesn't elaborate; could clarify manifest structure. Overall adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions. Description adds context like 'read=true saves page.md' and explains default out_dir behavior, adding value beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool grabs a page for design inspiration, fetching assets, extracting palette and fonts, returning a manifest. It distinguishes from sibling fetch_asset for single files.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says use for a whole page's design/assets, and for a single known file use fetch_asset. Provides clear context and alternative.
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?
Discloses no arguments, no web requests, human-readable output with ok/warn/error status and fix hints. Since no annotations are present, the description carries the full burden and does so well, though it could mention that the report is local and instantaneous.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, each dense with information. First sentence defines purpose and scope, second provides usage guidance and behavior. No redundancy or wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite no output schema, the description fully describes the return format and behavior. Covers all needed aspects for a zero-parameter diagnostic tool: what it checks, when to call, and what output to expect.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters in schema, so baseline is 4. Description confirms 'takes no arguments', adding no extra param info but consistent with schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it reports the health of the searchts install, specifying exact components (unlocker tiers, search providers, optional integrations). It distinguishes from sibling tools that fetch/grab/read URLs by being a diagnostic tool to use before relying on other capabilities or when they fail.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use: 'Use this first when another searchts tool fails or before relying on an optional capability.' Provides context for safer usage by noting no arguments and no web requests, guiding the agent to call it proactively.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
