SemaphoreUI MCP Server

by cloin

SemaphoreUI MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to SemaphoreUI - enabling natural language control of Ansible automation.

demo

Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Docker (or Podman)

  • A running SemaphoreUI instance with an API token

  • Claude Desktop or Claude Code (or another MCP client)

  • Node.js (for Claude Desktop only - required for mcp-remote)

1. Get a SemaphoreUI API Token

  1. Login to your SemaphoreUI instance

  2. Go to User Settings

  3. Generate a new API token

2. Run the MCP Server

docker run -d --name semaphore-mcp \
  --network host \
  -e SEMAPHORE_URL=http://localhost:3000 \
  -e SEMAPHORE_API_TOKEN=your-token-here \
  -e MCP_PORT=8500 \
  ghcr.io/cloin/semaphore-mcp:latest

Note: SEMAPHORE_URL is where the MCP server connects to SemaphoreUI. MCP_PORT is where the MCP server listens for client connections (Claude Desktop/Code). Use this port in your client configuration below.

3a. Configure Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop requires the mcp-remote proxy to connect to HTTP-based MCP servers. This requires Node.js to be installed (npx comes with npm).

Edit your config file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  • Linux: ~/.config/claude-desktop/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "semaphore": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "http://127.0.0.1:8500/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

3b. Configure Claude Code

Claude Code supports remote MCP servers directly:

claude mcp add --transport http semaphore http://127.0.0.1:8500/mcp

Verify it's configured:

claude mcp list

4. Test It

Restart Claude Desktop and try:

"List all projects in SemaphoreUI"

Related MCP server: semaphore-mcp-server

Docker Networking

The MCP server container needs to reach your SemaphoreUI instance.

SemaphoreUI on the same host:

Use --network host so the container can access localhost:

docker run -d --name semaphore-mcp \
  --network host \
  -e SEMAPHORE_URL=http://localhost:3000 \
  -e SEMAPHORE_API_TOKEN=your-token \
  -e MCP_PORT=8500 \
  ghcr.io/cloin/semaphore-mcp:latest

SemaphoreUI on a different host:

Use the IP or hostname directly (no --network host needed):

docker run -d --name semaphore-mcp \
  -e SEMAPHORE_URL=http://192.168.1.100:3000 \
  -e SEMAPHORE_API_TOKEN=your-token \
  -p 8500:8000 \
  ghcr.io/cloin/semaphore-mcp:latest

For more details, see Docker's networking documentation.

Can't connect to SemaphoreUI from container:

  • If SemaphoreUI is on localhost, use --network host

  • Check that the URL is reachable from inside the container

  • Verify the API token is correct

Claude Desktop not seeing the MCP server:

  • Ensure the container is running: docker ps

  • Check the port is accessible: curl http://127.0.0.1:8500/mcp

  • Restart Claude Desktop after config changes

Enable debug logging:

docker run -d --name semaphore-mcp \
  --network host \
  -e SEMAPHORE_URL=http://localhost:3000 \
  -e SEMAPHORE_API_TOKEN=your-token \
  -e MCP_PORT=8500 \

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only states that the tool returns an empty dict on success, but fails to mention idempotency, side effects (e.g., if user is already linked), required permissions, or whether the operation is reversible. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.

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 extremely concise, using a clear Args/Returns format with no extraneous words. It covers the essential information in a compact, easy-to-read manner.

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?

The description provides the return type (empty dict) and parameter roles. However, it omits important contextual details for a mutation tool, such as idempotency, error states (e.g., duplicate link), and dependencies. Given that an output schema exists and the tool is simple, the description is minimally adequate but not fully complete.

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?

Although schema coverage is 0%, the description explains the semantics of all three parameters: project_id, user_id, and role, including the allowed values for role (owner, manager, task_runner, guest). This adds meaningful context beyond the input 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 clearly states the action ('Link a user to a project with a role') and identifies the resources (user, project) and the key attribute (role). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like remove_project_user and update_project_user by focusing on adding a user.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as update_project_user or remove_project_user. It lacks context on prerequisites, typical scenarios, or why one would choose this over other related tools.

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

analyze_task_failureA

Analyze a failed task for LLM processing, gathering comprehensive failure context.

Args: project_id: ID of the project task_id: ID of the task to analyze

Returns: Comprehensive failure analysis data including task details, template context, and outputs

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
task_idYes
project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It describes the tool as analyzing and gathering context, which implies a read-only operation, but does not explicitly disclose side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits. The description is adequate but not thorough.

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 sentence followed by a structured Args section. It is concise, front-loaded with the core purpose, and contains no extraneous 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?

Given the existence of an output schema, the description provides a high-level overview of what is returned (task details, template context, outputs). It is complete enough for a failure analysis tool, but lacks mentions of prerequisites or error conditions.

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 description coverage is 0%, so the description compensates by listing both parameters (project_id, task_id) with brief explanations. This adds value beyond the schema's bare types and titles, though more detail on formatting or constraints would improve it.

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 'Analyze' and resource 'failed task', specifying it gathers comprehensive failure context. This distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_task' or 'get_task_raw_output' which provide basic task info or raw output, not failure analysis.

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 a task has failed and needs LLM processing, but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives such as 'get_task' or 'filter_tasks'. This leaves room for ambiguity.

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

backup_projectA

Export a Semaphore project backup.

Args: project_id: ID of the project to back up

Returns: Backup payload and a resource summary.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states the action and return type but omits details on permissions, destructiveness, side effects, or operational constraints.

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 concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, and contains no extraneous information. Every word earns its place.

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 one parameter and an output schema provided, the description covers the main function and return, but lacks usage context and behavioral details, making it adequate but not fully complete.

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 single parameter 'project_id' has 0% schema description coverage, but the description adds 'ID of the project to back up', providing meaningful context beyond the schema's bare title.

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 'Export' and resource 'Semaphore project backup', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like restore_project_backup, summarize_project_backup, and validate_project_backup.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like restore or validate. No prerequisites or context for invocation are provided.

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

bulk_analyze_failuresA

Analyze multiple failed tasks to identify patterns and common issues.

Args: project_id: ID of the project limit: Maximum number of failed tasks to analyze (default: 10)

Returns: Analysis of multiple failed tasks with pattern detection

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNo
project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It only mentions the analysis outcome without disclosing side effects, permissions, rate limits, or any mutability. The task is likely read-only, but this is not stated.

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 a single-sentence purpose, followed by clearly separated Args and Returns sections. No extraneous information is included, and key points are front-loaded.

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 tool has 2 parameters and an output schema, the description covers its purpose, parameters, and return type. However, it lacks behavioral details such as whether it modifies state or any performance considerations, which slightly limits completeness.

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 0%, but the description adds an Args section clarifying 'project_id' as the project ID and 'limit' as the maximum number of failed tasks with a default of 10. This adds value beyond the schema's titles and types, though the description is brief.

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 'analyze', the resource 'multiple failed tasks', and the outcome 'identify patterns and common issues'. It effectively distinguishes from the sibling tool 'analyze_task_failure' by emphasizing bulk analysis.

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 does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like 'analyze_task_failure'. While the name implies bulk usage, no direct comparison or context for selection is provided.

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

bulk_stop_tasksA

Stop multiple tasks with confirmation.

Args: project_id: ID of the project task_ids: List of task IDs to stop confirm: Set to True to execute the bulk stop operation

Returns: Confirmation details or bulk stop results

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
confirmNo
task_idsYes
project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It explains that 'confirm' must be set to True to execute, indicating a safety mechanism. However, it does not mention destructiveness, error handling, or partial failure behavior. The return value is vaguely described as 'confirmation details or bulk stop results'.

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 brief with a one-line summary followed by a structured arg list. Every sentence is useful, though the arg descriptions could be condensed. The summary 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 an output schema exists (as per context signals), the description need not detail return values, but it only gives a vague hint. It lacks information on error scenarios, permissions, or prerequisites for the bulk operation. The description is adequate for simple use but incomplete for robust decision-making.

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 0%, so the description must add meaning. The args list essentially restates the schema titles (e.g., 'ID of the project'). It does add the crucial detail that 'confirm' must be True to execute, which is not in the schema. But overall, it adds little 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 explicitly states 'Stop multiple tasks with confirmation', which is a specific verb-resource pair. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'stop_task' (single task) and 'stop_all_template_tasks' (all tasks of a template).

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 stopping multiple tasks, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'stop_task' for single tasks). There is no mention of when not to use it or prerequisites.

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

clone_projectA

Clone a project by backing it up and restoring it with a new name.

Args: project_id: ID of the source project name: Name for the cloned project validate: Validate backup payload before restore

Returns: Source project ID, created clone, and backup summary.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYes
validateNo
project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Without annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It mentions the backup+restore process and the validate parameter, but does not explain whether the operation is destructive, what permissions are needed, or what happens to existing backups.

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 concise with a clear structure: a one-sentence summary followed by an Args and Returns section. Every line adds value, though it could be slightly more compact.

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 an output schema present, the description adequately explains the return values. However, it omits error conditions, prerequisites (e.g., source project must exist), and the effect of the 'validate' parameter on behavior.

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?

Despite 0% schema description coverage, the 'Args' section provides meaningful explanations for each parameter (project_id, name, validate), adding purpose beyond the schema types. However, it lacks details on constraints or format.

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's action: 'Clone a project by backing it up and restoring it with a new name.' This specific verb+resource combination distinguishes it from sibling tools like backup_project, restore_project_backup, and validate_project_backup.

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 duplicating a project, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_project or backup_project. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.

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

create_access_keyA

Create a new access key.

Args: project_id: ID of the project name: Name for the access key key_type: Type of key - one of: - "none": For public repositories (no credentials needed) - "ssh": For SSH key authentication - "login_password": For username/password authentication login: Username (for ssh or login_password types) password: Password (for login_password type) private_key: Private key content (for ssh type)

Returns: Created access key details

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It explains key types and parameter conditions but does not disclose potential side effects, authorization needs, rate limits, or idempotency. Adequate but not comprehensive.

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?

Well-structured with Args and Returns sections. Clear and efficient, though 'Returns: Created access key details' is slightly vague. Overall, good use of space.

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 6 parameters and no annotations, the description covers all parameter semantics and relationships. Output schema exists, so minimal return description is acceptable. Lacks only minor behavioral details for full completeness.

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 0%, so the description must fully explain parameters. It does so thoroughly, describing key_type options and conditional requirements for login/password and private_key, adding meaning beyond the schema's type/title.

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 'Create a new access key' and lists parameters, making it obvious what the tool does. Among siblings like get_access_key, delete_access_key, update_access_key, this distinguishes well as the creation operation.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update_access_key). No prerequisites or conditions for use are mentioned. The description lacks explicit context for selection among siblings.

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

create_environmentB

Create a new environment.

Args: project_id: ID of the project name: Environment name env_data: Environment variables as key-value pairs

Returns: Created environment details

ParametersJSON Schema

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description only states the action without disclosing behavioral traits such as permission requirements, potential side effects (e.g., duplicate name handling), or rate limits. For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.

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 extremely concise, structured with Args and Returns, and front-loaded with the purpose. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Despite having an output schema, the description does not provide enough context for a creation tool. Missing details like uniqueness constraints, allowed characters for name, or size limits for env_data. The description is minimal and leaves many practical questions unanswered.

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 input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description compensates by explaining each parameter: project_id as 'ID of the project', name as 'Environment name', env_data as 'Environment variables as key-value pairs'. While basic, it adds necessary meaning beyond the schema types.

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 'Create a new environment.' which is a specific verb and resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like delete_environment, get_environment, etc.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as update_environment. There is no mention of prerequisites or when creation is appropriate versus modification.

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

create_inventoryA

Create a new inventory item.

Args: project_id: ID of the project name: Inventory name inventory_data: Inventory content (for "static") or file path on the Semaphore server (for "file") inventory_type: Semaphore inventory type, such as "static", "static-yaml", or "file". Defaults to "static".

Returns: Created inventory item details

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Without annotations, the description partially discloses behavior by explaining input parameters, but lacks details on side effects, authorization needs, or rate limits. It adds context for inventory_data handling but does not address mutability or response handling beyond 'Returns: Created inventory item details'.

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: purpose statement followed by structured args and returns. No unnecessary words, and the docstring format aids readability.

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 an output schema, return details are acceptable. However, behavioral context is lacking: no mention of error conditions, idempotency, or how to use the response. More completeness would be beneficial.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds significant value by explaining each parameter: project_id, name, inventory_data (with conditional behavior for static vs file), and inventory_type (with examples and default). This exceeds the bare 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 'Create a new inventory item' clearly states the action (create) and the resource (inventory item). It distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_inventory, update_inventory, and list_inventory.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidelines on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Missing prerequisites, such as requiring an existing project_id, and no mention of when not to use it.

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

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description only says 'Create a new project.' No disclosure of side effects, authorization needs, or behavior on duplicate names or failures.

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 well-structured docstring with Args and Returns sections. It is concise, front-loading the purpose, and uses minimal words to cover all parameters.

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?

The description mentions that the tool returns 'Created project details', but does not detail the structure or include edge-case handling. Given an output schema exists, the description is adequate but not comprehensive.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, the description adds functional meaning to each parameter, such as 'Enable alerts (default: False)' and 'Maximum parallel tasks, 0 = unlimited'. This significantly compensates for the schema's lack of 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 states 'Create a new project' with a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'update_project' and 'delete_project'.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'clone_project'). The description does not mention prerequisites, common use cases, or avoid scenarios.

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

create_repositoryC

No output parameters

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It only states 'Create a new repository' without disclosing side effects (e.g., whether it overwrites existing repos, validation of git_url, authentication requirements, or error conditions). The return type is mentioned but not detailed.

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 short and uses a clear docstring format with separate sections for Args and Returns. It avoids unnecessary fluff. Could be slightly more compact by removing redundancies, but overall well-structured.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the tool has 5 required parameters, no annotations, and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the repository object's structure (though output schema exists, which partly compensates) or success/failure behavior. Missing prerequisites like project existence or git URL validation.

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 description lists all 5 parameters with brief labels (e.g., 'project_id: ID of the project'), adding minimal meaning beyond the schema's titles. Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description compensates slightly but lacks constraints, examples, or format details. It does not explain parameter relationships or defaults.

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 states 'Create a new repository', which is a clear verb+resource combination. It lists the parameters, making the action explicit. However, it does not differentiate from other 'create' tools like create_project or create_template, which are present among siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update_repository, get_repository). It lacks context about prerequisites, such as the requirement for an existing project. No exclusions or when-not-to-use information is given.

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

create_scheduleC

Create a new schedule.

Args: project_id: ID of the project template_id: ID of the template to run name: Schedule name cron_format: Cron expression for recurring schedules active: Whether the schedule is enabled schedule_type: Schedule type: "" for cron, or "run_at" for one-time runs run_at: RFC3339 timestamp for one-time schedules task_params: Optional task parameters to pass when the schedule runs delete_after_run: Delete the one-time schedule after it runs repository_id: Optional repository ID for commit-check schedules

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided; description does not disclose side effects, idempotency, or error behavior. Only states return value briefly.

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?

Description is structured with Args and Returns sections, using backticks for parameter names. Could be more concise but is clear.

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

Completeness2/5

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

No annotations or output schema details; description lacks examples, constraints, or important context for a complex creation tool. Incomplete for effective use.

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 0%, so description carries burden. Parameter descriptions like 'Cron expression for recurring schedules' add meaning but are minimal for 10 parameters.

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?

Description clearly states 'Create a new schedule' and lists parameters. It differentiates from sibling tools like update_schedule and delete_schedule via the verb 'create'.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs others (e.g., update_schedule, set_schedule_active) or prerequisites. Lacks context for appropriate use.

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

create_templateA

Create a new template.

Args: project_id: ID of the project name: Template name playbook: Playbook file path (e.g., "playbook.yml") inventory_id: Inventory ID repository_id: Repository ID environment_id: Environment ID description: Template description (optional) arguments: Extra arguments as JSON string (optional) allow_override_args_in_task: Allow overriding arguments in task (default: False) suppress_success_alerts: Suppress success alerts (default: False) app: Application type (default: "ansible") git_branch: Git branch to use (optional) survey_vars: Survey variables for prompting (optional) vaults: Vault configurations (optional) template_type: Template type - "", "build", or "deploy" (optional) start_version: Start version (optional) build_template_id: Build template ID for deploy templates (optional) autorun: Enable autorun (default: False) view_id: View ID (optional) task_params: App-specific task parameters (optional).

A3.6/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It does not disclose side effects, permissions, idempotency, or error behaviors beyond stating 'Creates' and 'Returns created template details.' This is minimal disclosure for a mutation tool.

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 well-structured with separate Args and Returns sections. It lists numerous parameters clearly but could be slightly more concise by grouping defaults. Overall, it earns its length given the parameter count.

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 complexity (20 parameters) and existence of an output schema, the description covers parameter purposes fairly well. However, it lacks operational context such as behavior of template_type variants or failure scenarios, leaving some gaps.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, the description adds significant meaning to parameters, e.g., explaining task_params structure for Ansible, default values, and optionality. However, some parameters like vaults and survey_vars lack detailed semantics beyond type.

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 'Create a new template,' specifying the exact action and resource. This contrasts with siblings like update_template and delete_template, making it distinct.

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 creation use but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide prerequisites or exclusions. It lacks guidance on conditions for choosing this tool over others.

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

TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description should disclose behavioral traits. It fails to mention any side effects, required permissions, or constraints (e.g., unique titles, dependencies on project existence).

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is concise with a clear structure (one sentence plus bullet list). However, it is overly sparse and could include more detail without becoming verbose.

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 output schema exists, the description does not need to explain return values. Still, it lacks context about permissions, uniqueness, or project association. It is minimally adequate for a simple create tool but not complete.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, but the description merely lists parameter names without adding meaning. It does not explain allowed values, formats, or constraints beyond what the schema provides (e.g., position can be null).

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 'Create a new view' with a specific verb and resource. However, it does not differentiate what a 'view' means in this context compared to sibling tools like create_project or create_template.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update_view for modifications, list_views for viewing existing). The description only states the action without context.

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

B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It states the tool 'Delete's, which is destructive, but does not clarify if the action is irreversible, what happens to dependent resources, or any permission requirements. This lack of context leaves the agent without important safety information.

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 very brief, containing only necessary elements: action, parameter list, and return value. It is front-loaded and efficient, though lack of formatting (e.g., headers) is negligible. No extra words are present.

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 delete tool with two parameters and an output schema, the description covers purpose, input, and output adequately. It does not mention whether deletion is permanent, but that can be inferred. The presence of an output schema (empty dict) reduces the need for return value detail.

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 description provides short explanations for each parameter ('ID of the project', 'ID of the access key to delete'), adding semantic value beyond the schema titles. However, given the 0% schema coverage, more detail (e.g., format or source) would improve usability. The current effort is adequate for simple integer IDs.

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 'Delete an access key by ID', providing a clear verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like 'create_access_key' and 'list_access_keys' by the action, leaving no ambiguity about its function.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'update_access_key' or when deletion is appropriate. There is no mention of prerequisites, side effects, or context for choosing this over other actions.

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

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'delete' without explaining irreversibility, cascading effects, or required permissions.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

Very concise but includes redundant 'Args:' and 'Returns:' sections that add no value beyond the schema. No fluff, but also no structured information.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the simplicity of the tool, the description is brief, but it lacks important context about the operation's effects, error handling, or output. The output schema exists but is not described.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%. The description simply repeats parameter names and types ('ID of the project') without adding any meaning beyond the schema. No guidance on format or constraints.

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?

Clearly states 'Delete an environment' – a specific verb and resource. Distinguished from siblings like create_environment and update_environment.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The description indicates deletion but does not specify if it's irreversible, if it fails silently, or any side effects. With no annotations, more detail is needed for safe usage.

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 concise with a clear structure: one-line purpose followed by args and returns. It is front-loaded with the essential action, though the args/returns section could be omitted if schema covers them.

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?

For a simple delete operation with an output schema, the description is adequately complete. However, it lacks details on error handling or behavior when items do not exist, which are important for an agent.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The description adds basic mappings (project_id is 'ID of the project', inventory_id is 'ID of the inventory item to delete') beyond the schema's type-only definitions, but this is minimal and does not enhance understanding significantly.

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 deletes an inventory item, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like create_inventory, update_inventory, or get_inventory.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

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

No annotations provided, so description must carry full burden. It only states 'Delete a project' and return format, lacking details on idempotency, cascading effects, or behavior on non-existent project.

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 extremely concise with no wasted words. It follows a clear Args/Returns structure, making it easy to parse.

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?

For a simple delete tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers the basic function but misses behavioral context like error handling or side effects, which are important for safe usage.

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 0%, so description adds minimal value by stating 'ID of the project to delete'. This clarifies the parameter's role but does not provide additional constraints or format details.

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 'Delete a project', using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_repository or delete_template, which operate on different resources.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update_project) or prerequisites. The description simply states the action without context on necessary permissions or error scenarios.

C2.1/5.0
Behavior1/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description offers no behavioral details such as irreversibility, cascading effects, required permissions, or idempotency. The tool is a delete operation, but critical behavioral traits are entirely missing.

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

Conciseness2/5

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

The description is very short but under-specified. While conciseness is valued, the lack of essential details (behavior, parameters, usage) makes it insufficient. It reads as a bare minimum placeholder rather than a purposeful summary.

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

Completeness1/5

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

Given the tool's destructive nature and the presence of an output schema, the description should explain return values, side effects, and prerequisites. The vague 'Returns: Deletion result' and absence of parameter explanations make it incomplete for effective agent use.

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

Parameters1/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%. The description merely lists parameter names (project_id, repository_id) without any explanation of their meaning, format, or constraints beyond the schema titles. This adds no value over the schema itself.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Delete' and resource 'repository', which aligns with the tool's name. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create, update, or list repositories, but offers no additional context or nuance beyond the name.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No usage guidance is provided. The description does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives like delete_project or delete_schedule, nor does it mention any prerequisites or consequences.

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

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations present, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. While it states the action and return value, it omits critical details: whether the operation is reversible, if it affects associated entities, required permissions, or error conditions. These gaps are significant for a destructive operation.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is short and includes sections for args and returns, but it is not as concise as possible. For example, it could combine the first sentence with the args explanation. However, it is not verbose and structure is clear.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given that this is a delete operation with 2 required parameters and an output schema, the description provides only minimal context. It does not explain what happens upon successful deletion (e.g., confirmation side-effects), failure scenarios, or any dependencies. The tool is simple but the description leaves important gaps.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the description should add meaning beyond the schema's field titles. However, the description merely restates 'ID of the project' and 'ID of the schedule to delete', which adds no value over the schema's own property titles. It fails to clarify format, constraints, or relationships.

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 'delete' and the resource 'schedule', making the tool's purpose unambiguous. Among sibling tools like create_schedule, get_schedule, update_schedule, and set_schedule_active, it is distinct and easily differentiated.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or consequences (e.g., whether the schedule must be inactive before deletion). The agent is left to guess the appropriate context for deletion.

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

delete_templateC

Delete a template.

Args: project_id: ID of the project template_id: ID of the template to delete

Returns: Empty dict on success

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
project_idYes
template_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description only states 'Delete a template' and returns an empty dict. It does not disclose irreversibility, side effects on related entities (e.g., schedules, tasks), or authorization requirements.

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 very short and to the point, with no redundant information. However, it could be slightly expanded to include important context without losing conciseness.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the simplicity of the operation (delete with two IDs), the description is barely adequate. It lacks information on error cases, prerequisites, and the impact of deletion on related resources, which is important for a destructive operation.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. However, the description only repeats parameter names from the schema without explaining their semantics, constraints, or how to obtain valid IDs.

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?

Description clearly states 'Delete a template.' with a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_template, update_template, get_template, and list_templates. It is concise and unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites mentioned, and no context about cascading effects or required permissions. The description simply states the action without usage conditions.

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

delete_viewB

Delete a view.

Args: project_id: ID of the project view_id: ID of the view to delete

Returns: Empty dict on success

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
view_idYes
project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. While 'delete' implies destruction, it does not mention irreversibility, permissions required, or error states (e.g., if view does not exist). The return value is specified, but behavioral traits are insufficiently disclosed.

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 extremely concise: a single sentence for purpose, clear bullet-style parameter descriptions, and explicit return value. No unnecessary words.

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 (two required integer parameters, no nested objects, output schema indicating empty dict), the description fully covers what the agent needs to know to invoke the tool correctly.

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 0%, but the description adds meaning by describing each parameter as 'ID of the project' and 'ID of the view to delete', which goes beyond the type-only schema. This adequately compensates for the lack of schema descriptions.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'delete' and the resource 'view', making the purpose obvious. It implicitly distinguishes from siblings like create_view and update_view, but does not explicitly differentiate.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as update_view or archive. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions.

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

filter_tasksB

Filter tasks by multiple criteria with bulk operation support.

Args: project_id: ID of the project status: List of statuses to filter by (e.g., ['success', 'error']) limit: Maximum number of tasks to return use_last_tasks: Use efficient last 200 tasks endpoint

Returns: Filtered tasks with statistics

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNo
statusNo
project_idYes
use_last_tasksNo

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It implies a read operation by mentioning 'Returns: Filtered tasks with statistics', but does not explicitly state that no modifications occur, nor does it mention authentication needs, rate limits, or any side effects.

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 concise with one summary line followed by a structured Args/Returns section. It is front-loaded and every sentence provides value, though the code-like style could be slightly tightened.

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 4 parameters and an existing output schema, the description covers the tool's purpose, parameters, and return value. It lacks detail on 'bulk operation support' and edge cases, but is otherwise complete for a filtering 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 description coverage is 0%, so the description compensates by explaining each parameter: project_id as 'ID of the project', status with an example list, limit as 'Maximum number of tasks to return', and use_last_tasks as 'Use efficient last 200 tasks endpoint'. This adds meaningful context beyond the raw schema.

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 'Filter tasks by multiple criteria with bulk operation support', indicating the verb (filter), resource (tasks), and scope (multiple criteria). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_tasks by highlighting bulk operation support, though it does not explicitly differentiate from similar filter tools.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_tasks or get_task). There is no mention of prerequisites, when-not-to-use, or suggestions for alternative tools based on different needs.

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

get_access_keyB

Get an access key by ID.

Args: project_id: ID of the project key_id: ID of the access key

Returns: Access key details

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
key_idYes
project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states it returns access key details, but omits any specifics about what those details include, whether the operation is read-only, or any permissions required.

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 relatively concise at three lines, but the Args section is largely redundant with the schema. It could be condensed into a single sentence without losing clarity.

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?

Although an output schema exists (so return details are covered), the description lacks usage context, parameter semantics, and behavioral details. For a simple get-by-ID tool, it is minimally adequate but not comprehensive.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. However, the parameter descriptions ('ID of the project', 'ID of the access key') are generic and add little beyond the schema's property titles. They do not explain format, constraints, or how to obtain valid IDs.

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 an access key by ID', which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_access_keys (which retrieve multiple) and create/delete/update (which are mutations).

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention that it requires an existing key ID or that one should use list_access_keys to obtain an ID first.

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

get_environmentA

Get details of a specific environment.

Args: project_id: ID of the project environment_id: ID of the environment to fetch

Returns: Environment details

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
project_idYes
environment_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations; description implies read-only operation but does not disclose auth needs or specifics of returned details. Output schema partially compensates.

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?

Extremely concise with clear purpose, parameter list, and return statement. No unnecessary 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 get tool with output schema, description covers essential details. Minor omission: could note that it is non-destructive.

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 has 0% coverage, but description adds meaningful explanations for both parameters: 'ID of the project' and 'ID of the environment to fetch'.

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 verb 'Get' and resource 'details of a specific environment', distinguishing it from create/delete/update/list 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?

No explicit when-to-use or alternatives provided. However, the purpose is straightforward for retrieving a single environment by IDs.

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

get_inventoryB

Get details of a specific inventory item.

Args: project_id: ID of the project inventory_id: ID of the inventory item to fetch

Returns: Inventory item details

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description should carry behavioral disclosures. It only states it returns details, but fails to mention idempotency, error behavior (e.g., item not found), authentication needs, or rate limits.

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 short and follows a clear Args/Returns structure. However, the key purpose statement is not front-loaded; it appears in the first line but then repeats in docstring format.

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?

For a simple get operation, the description covers what it does and its parameters. However, it lacks usage guidance and behavioral transparency. The presence of an output schema compensates for missing return format details.

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 0%, so the description compensates by documenting both parameters: 'project_id: ID of the project' and 'inventory_id: ID of the inventory item to fetch'. This adds meaning beyond just integer types.

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 retrieves details of a specific inventory item. The verb 'Get' and resource 'inventory item' are specific, and it distinguishes from siblings like list_inventory and update_inventory.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as list_inventory or update_inventory. The description does not provide context for usage scenarios or prerequisites.

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

get_last_eventsA

List the last global events visible to the current user.

Semaphore returns the last 200 events. The optional limit trims that response further on the MCP side.

Args: limit: Return only the most recent N events; 0 returns all returned events

Returns: Dictionary containing the list of events

ParametersJSON Schema

limitNo

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description reveals that Semaphore returns the last 200 events and that the limit parameter trims on the MCP side. Since no annotations are provided, this information is valuable for understanding inherent constraints and behavior.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is concise and well-structured: a single-line purpose, a sentence on underlying constraints, then parameter and return value documentation. Each sentence serves a clear function with no repetition.

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 list tool with one parameter, the description covers purpose, behavior (200-event limit), parameter semantics, and return type. No gaps or missing information is apparent.

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 description explains the limit parameter: it returns the most recent N events, with 0 meaning all returned events. This adds crucial context beyond the schema's type and default, compensating for 0% schema coverage.

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 'last global events visible to the current user', specifying the verb, resource, and scope. This differentiates it from siblings like 'list_events' and 'list_project_events'.

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 use for recent global events but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like 'list_events' or 'list_project_events'. No exclusions or context is provided.

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

get_latest_failed_taskB

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 extremely concise, with no filler words. It front-loads the purpose and uses a compact format. Every sentence is necessary and 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?

Given the presence of an output schema, the vague 'Project details' return is acceptable. However, the description could mention that the tool requires an existing project or how errors are handled. Still, for a simple get tool, it is mostly 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?

The schema provides only the parameter name and type with 0% coverage. The description adds 'ID of the project to fetch,' clarifying the role of project_id but does not provide any constraints, format, or examples beyond what the schema already has.

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?

Completeness4/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (2 required params, output schema available), the description is reasonably complete. It covers purpose, parameters, and return value. However, it lacks context about error handling or when to prefer this over siblings, which would improve completeness slightly.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds essential meaning: 'project_id: ID of the project' and 'schedule_id: ID of the schedule to fetch'. This compensates for the minimal schema information, though it could provide more detail on valid ID formats.

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 the specific verb 'Get' and resource 'schedule', clearly indicating it retrieves details of a single schedule. It easily distinguishes from siblings like list_schedules (list all) and create/delete/update operations.

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 fetching a specific schedule by ID, but it does not explicitly mention when to use this tool vs alternatives like list_schedules or other schedule-related tools. No exclusions or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

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

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided. Description does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, any side effects, or authorization needs. Only states 'Get details', which is minimal.

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?

Description is short but includes redundant Args/Returns block that largely duplicates schema and output schema. Could be trimmed to a single sentence.

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 simplicity (2 params, output schema exists), the description is minimally viable. It lacks context on prerequisites, relationship to list_tasks, or any behavioral notes.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%. The description repeats parameter names and types ('ID of the project') without adding meaningful context beyond the schema. No elaboration on required formats or constraints.

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 states 'Get details of a specific task' with a clear verb+resource. It distinguishes from siblings like list_tasks and get_task_raw_output.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Among siblings, list_tasks and filter_tasks exist but no mention of situations where get_task is appropriate.

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

get_task_raw_outputA

Get raw output from a completed task for LLM analysis.

Args: project_id: ID of the project task_id: ID of the task

Returns: Raw task output as plain text

ParametersJSON Schema

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided. Description states 'completed task' implying prerequisite, but doesn't disclose other behaviors like error handling, authorization, or side effects. Adequate for a simple get but could be more thorough.

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?

Concise with clear Args and Returns sections. However, Returns section is minimal (single line). Every sentence earns its place, but structure could be improved with bullet points.

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?

Tool has output schema but description only says 'Raw task output as plain text.' No mention of error conditions, prerequisites beyond 'completed task', or response format. Adequate but not fully complete given complexity.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, meaning description adds minimal value beyond schema. Args section merely repeats parameter names without additional semantics like format, constraints, or examples. Does not compensate for low coverage.

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 'Get raw output from a completed task for LLM analysis.' Verb 'get' and resource 'raw output' are specific. Distinguishes from siblings like 'get_task' by specifying 'raw output' and 'completed task'.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The purpose implies it's for raw output, but no when-not or alternative names given. Lacks context for selection among many list/get tools.

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

get_templateB

Get details of a specific template.

Args: project_id: ID of the project template_id: ID of the template to fetch

Returns: Template details

ParametersJSON Schema

No output parameters

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The description adds no behavioral context beyond the basic read operation. With no annotations provided, it fails to disclose side effects, safety, or access requirements.

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 concise and well-structured with Args/Returns sections. It is front-loaded with the purpose and avoids verbosity.

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?

For a simple retrieval tool with two parameters and an output schema, the description provides the essential information. However, it lacks details on return content or potential errors, which is adequate but not thorough.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains the two parameters with brief descriptions ('ID of the project', 'ID of the template to fetch'), adding meaning beyond raw type definitions, though not extensively.

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's purpose ('Get details of a specific template'), using a specific verb and resource. It naturally distinguishes from sibling tools like list_templates, create_template, and delete_template.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives or any preconditions. Among numerous sibling tools, there is no mention of when this is appropriate.

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

get_viewB

Get details of a specific view.

Args: project_id: ID of the project view_id: ID of the view to fetch

Returns: View details

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
view_idYes
project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided. The description only states it returns view details, but does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, permissions needed, or whether it is a read-only operation. The description carries full burden and is insufficient.

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 very short and structured with args and returns. No fluff, but could include more context without sacrificing conciseness.

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?

Output schema exists, so return details are not required. However, with no annotations, the description lacks context about what 'View details' entails, and no behavioral or usage guidance is provided.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%. The description repeats parameter names (project_id, view_id) but adds no additional meaning beyond the schema types. It does not explain where to obtain these IDs or their constraints.

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 details of a specific view' with required parameters project_id and view_id, distinguishing it from siblings like list_views, create_view, delete_view, update_view.

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?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The description implies usage by requiring IDs, but does not mention prerequisites or scenarios where other tools (e.g., list_views) should be used first.

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

get_waiting_tasksA

Get all tasks in waiting state for bulk operations.

Args: project_id: ID of the project

Returns: List of waiting tasks with bulk operation guidance

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions returning a list with 'bulk operation guidance' but does not state if the operation is read-only, has side effects, or requires special permissions. The description is too vague on behavioral traits.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Description is concise (three lines) with structured Args and Returns sections, front-loading the purpose. Every sentence adds value with 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?

Output schema exists, so return structure is covered elsewhere. The description covers the essential purpose, parameter, and return intent. It lacks details on pagination or limits, but given the tool's simplicity, it is largely 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 coverage is 0%, but the description includes 'Args: project_id: ID of the project', which adds semantic meaning beyond the schema's title of 'Project Id'. For a single integer parameter, this is adequate but not enriched.

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 verb ('Get'), resource ('tasks in waiting state'), and purpose ('for bulk operations'). Among siblings like filter_tasks and list_tasks, this specificity helps distinguish it.

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 phrase 'for bulk operations' implies usage context, but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives like filter_tasks or list_tasks, nor when not to use it.

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

list_access_keysA

List all access keys for a project.

Args: project_id: ID of the project key_type: Optional key type filter ("none", "ssh", or "login_password") sort: Sort field ("name" or "type") order: Sort order ("asc" or "desc")

Returns: Dictionary containing list of access keys

ParametersJSON Schema

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It correctly indicates a read operation (listing) and mentions the return type, but does not elaborate on side effects, rate limits, or authorization requirements, which are not critical for this simple list tool.

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 concise docstring—just a one-line purpose followed by clear Args and Returns sections. Every sentence earns its place; no fluff or 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 tool's simplicity (4 params, no enums, output schema exists), the description covers core functionality well. It would benefit from mentioning pagination or result limits, but for a straightforward list operation, it is largely complete.

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 description adds meaning for all four parameters beyond the schema (which has 0% description coverage). It explains that key_type is optional, sort defaults to 'name', and order defaults to 'asc', providing useful context not present in the schema.

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 'List all access keys for a project', which is a specific verb and resource. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_access_key' (singular) or 'create_access_key', though the plural 'list' implies a collection operation.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., get_access_key for a single key). It also lacks context for using optional filters like key_type or sort, leaving the agent to infer their relevance.

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

list_environmentsA

project_idYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It states the tool lists all environments (a read operation) but does not disclose behavior for invalid project_id, ordering, pagination, or error handling. The description is too brief to be informative.

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 concise with a clear structure (description, Args, Returns). It avoids fluff, though the Returns line redundantly repeats the purpose. Overall, it is well-organized and 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?

Given the tool's simplicity (list environments, one parameter) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers the essential details. It could benefit from notes on ordering or behavior for invalid project_id, but it is largely complete for a straightforward listing operation.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds minimal meaning by stating 'project_id: ID of the project,' clarifying the parameter's role beyond the schema's title and type. However, it does not provide format or constraints, so it is only marginally helpful.

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 all environments for a given project, using a specific verb ('list') and resource ('environments'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_environment (single) and create_environment (mutation).

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?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., get_environment for a single environment). The description implies usage via the required project_id but does not mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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

list_eventsA

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The description suggests a read operation (list) but lacks details on side effects, authentication, or rate limits. Since annotations are absent, the description carries the full burden, and it is minimal.

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 concise (two sentences plus docstring) and structured with Args/Returns sections. It is efficient but could be slightly more formal.

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 an output schema exists (from context signals), the description's note about return value is redundant. It adequately covers purpose and parameter but lacks context on event filtering or visibility semantics.

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?

The description explains the 'limit' parameter beyond the schema: 'Return only the most recent N events; 0 returns all events'. This fully compensates for the schema's 0% description coverage.

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 'List global events visible to the current user' with a specific verb and resource. It implies a distinction from project-specific events but does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like 'get_last_events' or 'list_project_events'.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The phrase 'global events' hints at scope but does not direct to sibling tools for project-specific or more narrow event queries.

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

list_inventoryA

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It implies a read-only list operation but lacks details on pagination, ordering, or potential side effects. The simple nature of the tool means minimal disclosure is acceptable, but more transparency would improve the score.

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 short and front-loaded with purpose, followed by Args and Returns. It is efficient with no wasted words, though it could include more detail without harming conciseness.

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 tool's simplicity (one parameter, list operation) and the presence of an output schema, the description covers the essentials: what it does and the required input. It could mention that the output is a list of inventory items, but that is implied.

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

Parameters2/5

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds only a minimal line for project_id ('ID of the project'), which adds little beyond the parameter name. No format, constraints, or examples are provided, so the description fails to significantly enhance parameter understanding.

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 specifies the action (list) and resource (inventory items) with a scope (for a project). It distinguishes itself from siblings like get_inventory (single item) and create_inventory (create operation).

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 states what the tool does but does not explicitly guide when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., get_inventory for a single item). No exclusions or conditions are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer usage context.

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

No output parameters

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description bears full responsibility. It explains the limit parameter behavior (most recent N events, 0 for all) but does not explicitly state the tool is read-only. The verb 'list' strongly implies non-destructive behavior, but a explicit safety note would be beneficial.

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 extremely concise: one sentence plus a brief docstring. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy or 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 the presence of an output schema (not shown), the description does not need to detail return values. It covers purpose, parameters, and return type ('Dictionary containing the list of project events'). However, it does not specify ordering (e.g., most recent first) or pagination, which could be inferred from the limit parameter but is not explicit.

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 schema has 0% description coverage, but the description's docstring explains both parameters: project_id as 'ID of the project' and limit as 'Return only the most recent N events; 0 returns all events.' This adds meaning beyond the bare schema titles and types.

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 'List events related to a project.' This is a specific verb-resource pair that distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'list_events' (broader) and 'get_last_events' (more focused).

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 listing events filtered by project but does not explicitly contrast with siblings or state when not to use it. No usage restrictions or alternatives are mentioned.

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

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of disclosing behavior. It states the return type (dictionary of projects) and implies a read-only operation by 'list'. However, it does not explicitly confirm no side effects, no rate limits, or other behavioral traits. Adequate but could be more transparent.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is two sentences long with no extraneous information. It is front-loaded with the main action and provides a clear return description. Every sentence is purposeful.

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 (no parameters, obvious purpose) and the presence of an output schema, the description is complete. It covers the core functionality needed for an agent to invoke it correctly.

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?

There are no parameters, so the schema provides full coverage. The description adds no specific parameter info beyond what the schema trivially indicates. Per the rubric, zero parameters earns a baseline of 4.

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 'List all projects in SemaphoreUI' with a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like get_project, create_project, or list_project_users, which have different purposes.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when not to use it or suggest other tools for filtered or detailed project queries. No context on prerequisites or exclusions.

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

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses it is a read operation returning a dictionary of users, but lacks details on permissions, side effects, or limitations. The return type is mentioned but not exhaustive for behavioral expectations.

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, starting with a clear one-line purpose, then standard Args/Returns sections. No unnecessary words, and information is front-loaded.

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 tool's simplicity (list users with optional sorting) and that an output schema exists (though not shown), the description covers the main functionality. It could mention pagination or error handling, but for basic usage it is sufficient.

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 has 0% description coverage, but the description provides explicit allowed values for 'sort' (name, username, email, or role) and 'order' (asc or desc), which is essential for correct usage. This adds significant value beyond the schema.

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?

Description clearly states it lists users linked to a project. The verb 'list' and resource 'users' are specific, but no explicit differentiation from sibling tools like add_project_user or remove_project_user. However, those are distinct operations, so purpose is clear enough.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives. It does not mention when not to use it or provide context about when filtering or sorting might be needed. The description is purely functional.

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

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided; description only states basic function. Does not disclose authentication needs, pagination, or other behavioral traits. Minimal transparency.

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?

Description is very short and front-loaded with the main purpose. No unnecessary words, but lacks some detail that could be included without bloating.

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?

Simple listing tool with output schema present. Description is mostly complete for its simplicity, though could mention if the list is all results without pagination.

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?

Only parameter project_id is described as 'ID of the project' in the Args section, adding meaning beyond the schema's type and title. Schema coverage was 0% but description compensates 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?

Description clearly states the action (list) and resource (repositories) scoped to a project. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_repository (single) and create_repository.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_repository or search. No exclusions or context provided.

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

list_schedulesB

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided. Description only mentions 'Returns dictionary containing list of schedules' but lacks details on pagination, permissions, or behavior with invalid project_id.

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?

Description is short and structured with Args/Returns, though could be even more concise without losing clarity.

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 presence of an output schema, the description is adequate but could mention that all schedules are returned without filtering or pagination.

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?

Parameter 'project_id' is described as 'ID of the project', adding minimal value beyond the schema's title. Schema description coverage is 0%.

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 'List all schedules for a project' with specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from siblings like 'get_schedule' and 'list_template_schedules'.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'list_template_schedules', 'get_schedule'), nor when not to use it.

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

list_tasksA

List tasks for a project with a default limit of 5 to avoid overloading context windows.

Args: project_id: ID of the project limit: Maximum number of tasks to return (default: 5) status: Optional status filter (e.g., 'success', 'error', 'running') tags: Optional list of tags to filter by

Returns: A list of tasks for the project, limited by the specified count

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so description carries full burden. It mentions default limit and reason but does not disclose whether this is a read-only operation, auth requirements, rate limits, or other behavioral traits beyond the basic listing behavior.

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?

Description efficiently uses Args/Returns structure and front-loads key behavior (default limit). Every sentence adds value, though could be slightly more compact.

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?

Covers parameters and return, but does not mention pagination, ordering, or output structure beyond 'list of tasks'. Output schema exists but is not referenced. Adequate but not fully comprehensive given 4 parameters and sibling tools.

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?

Input schema has 0% description coverage; description adds meaning for all parameters: explains project_id, limit (default 5), status (optional filter), tags (optional list). Provides defaults and types, compensating for schema gaps.

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 'List tasks for a project' with a specific default limit of 5 and reason (avoid overloading context windows). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'filter_tasks' by focusing on listing with defaults.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., 'filter_tasks' or 'get_task'). Does not mention when not to use it or provide comparisons. Only gives default limit rationale.

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

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It clearly communicates a read-only, listing behavior. However, it lacks details on pagination, performance, or error handling, which would be beneficial for a complete picture.

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 very short (two sentences plus Args/Returns). It is front-loaded with the main purpose. However, the Returns section is vague ('A list of templates'), which could be improved by referencing the output schema for structure.

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?

For a simple list tool with one parameter and an output schema presumed rich, the description is adequate but not complete. It does not address edge cases (e.g., invalid project_id, empty results) or prerequisites for using the tool.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description only states 'ID of the project' for the single parameter. This adds minimal meaning beyond the schema's title and type, leaving the agent without guidance on how to obtain or format the project_id.

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 all templates' and specifies the resource 'for a project'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'get_template' (single template) and 'create_template' (creation). The verb-resource combination is specific and unambiguous.

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 use when needing all templates for a project, but it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use alternatives like 'get_template' for a specific template or 'list_template_schedules' for template schedules. No when-not-to-use or exclusion criteria are given.

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

list_template_schedulesA

List schedules attached to a template.

Args: project_id: ID of the project template_id: ID of the template

Returns: Dictionary containing list of template schedules

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It only states the operation is listing, implying read-only, but does not explicitly confirm idempotency, authentication needs, or side effects. The return type is mentioned, but not details about performance or limits.

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 very concise, consisting of a one-line purpose followed by structured Args and Returns sections. No extraneous information, and the format is clear and easy to parse.

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?

The tool is simple with two required parameters and an output schema, so the description is mostly adequate. However, it lacks details on pagination, error behavior, or any constraints. For a list operation, these omissions reduce completeness slightly.

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 schema has 0% description coverage, but the description adds brief explanations for each parameter ('project_id: ID of the project', 'template_id: ID of the template'). While minimal, this clarifies that these are identifiers, adding value beyond the schema titles. The explanation is concise and functional.

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 'List schedules attached to a template,' specifying the action (list) and the resource (schedules) with a qualifier (attached to a template). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'list_schedules' which lists all schedules without template filtering.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'list_schedules' or other schedule-related tools. It does not mention any prerequisites or exclusions.

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

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided; description only states 'Returns dictionary' without disclosing behavior like pagination, ordering, permissions, or side effects.

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?

Very concise, to the point, with clear sections for args and returns. No wasted words.

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?

Output schema exists, so return details are less critical. However, lacks mention of prerequisites, filtering, or limitations. Adequate for a simple 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 0%, but description adds 'ID of the project' which is helpful but minimal. Does not fully compensate for missing 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?

Clearly states it lists all views for a project, specifying the resource and scope. Distinguishes from siblings like 'get_view' (single view) and 'create_view'.

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?

Implies use when all views are needed, but no explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives like 'get_view' 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.

remove_project_userB

Remove a user from a project.

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the return value ('Empty dict on success'), but does not disclose error handling, required permissions, or side effects.

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 short and well-structured: one sentence for purpose, then Args and Returns sections. It avoids unnecessary words.

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?

For a simple deletion tool with 2 params and a defined output schema, the description covers the basics. However, it lacks context on permissions, error cases, and when not to use it.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, so description should add meaning. It restates parameters as 'ID of the project' and 'ID of the user to remove', which adds little beyond the schema's 'Project Id' and 'User Id' titles.

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 'Remove a user from a project.' This uses a specific verb ('remove') and resource ('user') with scope ('from a project'), and the sibling tool 'add_project_user' confirms it is the opposite operation.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no mention of consequences or failure cases.

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

restore_project_backupA

Restore a Semaphore project from a backup payload.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It mentions the restore creates a project and returns a summary, and describes the validate parameter. However, it does not clarify whether it overwrites existing projects, required permissions, or side effects.

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?

Description is short (fewer than 80 words), uses structured Args/Returns format with 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.

Completeness4/5

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

Given 3 parameters, presence of output schema, and typical restore operation, the description covers key aspects: inputs, optional parameters, validation flag, and return value. Lacks details on conflict resolution or error cases, but 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 0%, so description must explain parameters. It does so: backup is 'payload returned by backup_project', project_name is 'optional name override', validate 'validates shape and references'. This adds meaning beyond the schema's type definitions.

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 restores a Semaphore project from a backup payload, using specific verb 'Restore' and resource 'Semaphore project'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like backup_project (creates backup) and validate_project_backup (validates).

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 use after backing up with backup_project, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs others, nor does it mention prerequisites like project existence or potential conflicts. No alternatives are suggested.

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

run_taskA

Run a task from a template with optional 30-second monitoring.

Args: template_id: ID of the template to run project_id: Optional project ID (if not provided, will attempt to determine from template) environment: Optional environment variables for the task as dictionary limit: Restrict execution to specific hosts/groups (Ansible --limit) dry_run: Run without making changes (Ansible --check) diff: Show differences when changing files (Ansible --diff) debug: Enable verbose debug output playbook: Override playbook file path git_branch: Override git branch to use message: Task description/message arguments: Additional CLI arguments as a JSON string or string list inventory_id: Override inventory to use follow: Enable 30-second monitoring for startup verification (default: False)

Returns: Task execution result with immediate web URLs and optional monitoring summary

Template Override Requirements: Some parameters require the template to have overrides enabled in task_params. Use create_template() or update_template() with task_params to enable:

- limit: requires task_params={"allow_override_limit": true}
- inventory_id: requires task_params={"allow_override_inventory": true}

Without these settings, the parameter will be ignored silently.

Examples: # Just start the task and get URLs result = await run_task(template_id=5)

# Start task with 30-second monitoring and get URLs
result = await run_task(template_id=5, follow=True)

# Run with limit to specific hosts (template must allow override)
result = await run_task(template_id=5, limit="webservers")

# Dry run with diff to preview changes

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations to provide default safety hints, the description takes on the burden and succeeds: it clearly warns that 'without these settings, the parameter will be ignored silently,' discloses that monitoring is optional and can run for 30 seconds, and explains the return value includes 'immediate web URLs.' This is honest and practically useful, though it could have been even more explicit about side effects (e.g., that this likely triggers a long-running job).

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?

Despite its length, the description is well-structured with clear sections (Args, Returns, Override Requirements, Examples), making it scannable. Every sentence serves a purpose; there is no fluff. The format mirrors common API documentation patterns, so an agent can quickly locate parameter details or jump straight to examples.

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 tool's complexity (13 parameters, Ansible integration, override prerequisites), the description covers all bases: parameter meanings, required conditions, return value shape, and realistic examples. It even highlights a common pitfall (silent parameter ignoring) that could otherwise trip up an agent. With no annotations or output schema to rely on, this description is comprehensive.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must fully compensate, and it does: every parameter has a one-line meaning (e.g., 'limit: Restrict execution to specific hosts/groups (Ansible --limit)'). It even explains conditional behavior (e.g., project_id: 'if not provided, will attempt to determine from template'). The override requirements section adds crucial semantic detail about when parameters take effect. This is exactly what makes an agent confident in calling the tool.

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 'Run a task from a template with optional 30-second monitoring,' making the primary function obvious. While it doesn't explicitly contrast with sibling tools like get_task or stop_task, the meaning is unambiguous for any agent familiar with the domain. The resource (task from a template) and verb (run) are specific.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The usage context is implied through examples like 'Just start the task' and 'Dry run with diff,' which show when to use the tool, but there is no explicit statement about when not to use it or which sibling to use instead. The 'Template Override Requirements' section provides conditional usage guidance, but it doesn't compare with alternatives. This is adequate but not exemplary.

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

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It states it modifies the active flag and returns an empty dict, which is minimal disclosure. However, it does not explicitly confirm it is a destructive/write operation, nor does it discuss permissions, reversibility, or side effects. Adequate but not thorough.

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 extremely concise with no extraneous content. It uses a clear docstring format (Args/Returns) that is front-loaded and easy to parse. 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 toggle operation with three straightforward parameters and a trivial output (empty dict), the description covers the essentials. It explains each parameter and the return value. It lacks error conditions or constraints, but given the low complexity, it is sufficiently complete.

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 description coverage is 0%, but the description provides brief parameter explanations: 'ID of the project', 'ID of the schedule to update', 'Whether the schedule should be active'. This adds meaning beyond the schema's types and titles, though it is still somewhat terse.

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's purpose: 'Enable or disable a schedule.' It uses a specific verb (enable/disable) and resource (schedule), and the name matches. Among siblings like get_schedule, list_schedules, and update_schedule, it is distinct and unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update_schedule, create_schedule) or when not to use it. It does not mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions. The agent is left without decision support.

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

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states only that it stops all running tasks and returns an empty dict, but does not disclose side effects (e.g., what happens to dependent tasks), required permissions, or behavior when no tasks are running.

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 very concise and front-loaded, with the core purpose in the first sentence. However, it could benefit from slightly more context without excessive verbosity.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a tool with no annotations and a simple output schema, the description is minimally acceptable but incomplete. It lacks usage guidelines and parameter details, which are important for correct invocation. The output is well-described, but the overall context is insufficient.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The input schema has 0% description coverage for parameters. The description merely lists parameter names ('project_id: ID of the project', 'template_id: ID of the template') without adding any meaning beyond the schema (types are integer). It does not explain how to obtain these IDs or any constraints.

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 'Stop all running tasks for a template', which is a specific verb ('Stop') and resource ('all running tasks for a template'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like 'stop_task' (single task) and 'bulk_stop_tasks' (likely multiple templates).

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., stop_task for a single task, bulk_stop_tasks for multiple templates). The description lacks context about prerequisites or conditions for usage.

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

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must fully convey behavior. It states the tool stops a running task, implying mutation, but fails to disclose what happens if the task is already stopped, whether it requires specific permissions, or any side effects. The behavioral disclosure is minimal.

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 very short (three lines of meaningful text) and front-loaded with the core purpose. While efficient, the structure could be improved by separating usage from parameter details, but it remains clear and without extraneous content.

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

Completeness2/5

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

For a simple tool with two required parameters and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the return value ('Task stop result') or any edge cases (e.g., task already stopped). The presence of an output schema reduces the need but the description still lacks helpful context.

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 description adds basic semantics for the two parameters ('ID of the project' and 'ID of the task to stop') where the schema only supplies titles and types. However, these definitions are generic and do not provide additional constraints or formatting details 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 explicitly states 'Stop a running task,' which clearly identifies the verb (stop) and resource (running task). This distinguishes the tool from siblings like 'bulk_stop_tasks' (multiple tasks) and 'stop_all_template_tasks' (template-scoped), making the purpose unambiguous.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'bulk_stop_tasks' or 'stop_all_template_tasks.' The description lacks any context about prerequisites, limitations, or exclusion scenarios.

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

summarize_project_activityA

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It implies a read operation but does not explicitly state that it is non-destructive, nor does it mention authentication, rate limits, or side effects.

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 short and structured with a sentence followed by an Args list. It is efficient, though the Args section is somewhat redundant with parameter names. No wasted words.

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?

The description explains parameters and return type (counts and recent event details) but lacks usage context, behavioral transparency, and clarity on the distinction between 'limit' and 'recent_limit'. Given the presence of an output schema, it is minimally adequate but not complete.

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?

The input schema has no parameter descriptions (0% coverage), but the tool description provides clear, concise descriptions for all three parameters: project_id (ID of the project), limit (number of most recent events to analyze), and recent_limit (number of recent event objects to include). This adds full 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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Summarize recent project activity from Semaphore events.' It uses a specific verb-resource combination and is distinct from sibling tools like 'list_events' or 'list_project_events'.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention when-not to use it or suggest alternative tools for different scenarios.

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

summarize_project_backupA

backupYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

The verb 'summarize' suggests a read-only operation, but no annotations are provided to confirm non-destructive behavior. The description lacks explicit statements about side effects or safety, leaving some ambiguity.

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 very concise and well-structured with a one-line summary, Args section, and Returns section. No extraneous 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?

Given the presence of an output schema, the description adequately covers the tool's purpose and return value content. However, it could elaborate on the structure of the backup input parameter for completeness.

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 description adds value by labeling the single parameter as 'Backup payload to summarize' despite 0% schema description coverage. This clarifies the parameter's purpose beyond the schema's minimal definition.

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 summarizes a project backup, with specifics about what it returns (counts, names, secret-reference indicators). It distinguishes from sibling tools like backup_project or restore_project_backup which perform different actions.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, typical workflow order, or scenarios where it should be used.

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

B3.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Update an existing access key' and returns an empty dict. It does not mention side effects, idempotency, or error handling.

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 well-structured with a clear purpose, argument list, and return statement. It is concise without redundancy, though it could be slightly more streamlined.

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 8 parameters and mutation nature, the description lacks behavioral details like whether it merges or replaces fields, and does not explain usage context relative to other access key tools. The return value is adequately described.

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 description coverage is 0%, but the description lists all parameters with concise explanations (e.g., 'New access key name (optional)', 'Force updating stored secret material'), adding value beyond the schema's type information.

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 'Update an existing access key,' which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like create_access_key and delete_access_key.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create_access_key or delete_access_key). It does not mention prerequisites or typical use cases.

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

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It implies mutation ('update') but does not specify side effects, permissions, idempotency, or error conditions. The return value is mentioned but lacks depth.

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 short and front-loaded with the main purpose. The Args/Returns format is clear, though slightly verbose. Could be tighter but remains effective.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given 4 parameters, no enums, and an output schema (implied), the description covers parameters but lacks usage context, prerequisites (e.g., environment must exist), and behavioral details. Compared to sibling tools, it offers minimal context.

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 0% (no descriptions in schema), so the description adds meaning. It explains each parameter: project_id and environment_id as IDs, name as optional, env_data as 'Environment variables as key-value pairs'. This provides context beyond the schema's titles.

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 'Update an existing environment,' specifying the verb 'update' and the resource 'environment'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'create_environment' and 'delete_environment'.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, when to update vs create/delete, or any exclusions.

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

B3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description lacks behavioral details such as permission requirements, error handling, idempotency, or side effects. It only states that the tool updates an item without explaining consequences or limitations.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is front-loaded with a clear purpose and structured with a docstring. However, the docstring is somewhat verbose and could be more concise while retaining clarity.

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?

The description covers basic purpose and parameter semantics, but given the tool has five parameters and no annotation, it lacks information on error handling, prerequisites, and return behavior (though output schema exists). Completeness is adequate but not thorough.

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?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds substantial meaning to all five parameters, including explanations for inventory_data and inventory_type. This compensates well for the bare schema, though minor details like value constraints could be added.

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 'Update an existing inventory item' with a specific verb and resource. It differentiates from siblings like create_inventory and delete_inventory, though it could be more explicit about the type of inventory (e.g., Semaphore).

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_inventory or delete_inventory. The description implies usage for modifications but does not state exclusions or prerequisites.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions 'Returns: Empty dict on success' which is helpful, but lacks details on side effects, permissions, or error behavior (e.g., if user not found).

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 concise with two sections (Args and Returns). No redundant information, though it could be slightly more compact. Structurally clear.

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 update tool with 3 parameters and an output schema (empty dict), the description is reasonably complete. It explains the return value and parameter roles. Missing error handling, but acceptable given simplicity.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. The Args section adds clear meaning: project_id is 'ID of the project', user_id 'ID of the linked user', role lists valid values. This provides essential context beyond the raw 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 clearly states the verb 'Update' and the resource 'a linked user's project role'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like add_project_user and remove_project_user by implying modification of an existing role.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states 'Update an existing template' and notes the return is an empty dict on success. It does not disclose side effects, authentication needs, or whether omitted fields remain unchanged. For a mutation tool, more behavioral context would be beneficial.

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 lengthy but well-structured with parameter lists and a notable nested explanation for task_params. It is front-loaded with the purpose, then a clear args list. Some redundancy in listing optional status could be trimmed, but it remains readable.

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

Completeness5/5

Given 21 parameters, the description covers all of them, explains the return value, and provides enough context for an agent to understand the tool's use. No output schema is present but is not needed as return type is specified.

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?

Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates thoroughly by listing all 21 parameters with explanations. It marks optional parameters and provides detailed sub-parameters for task_params, especially for Ansible templates. This adds significant 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 clearly states 'Update an existing template.' This is a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from create_template, delete_template, and get_template among siblings.

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 implies usage for updating existing templates via the verb 'Update' and the required template_id parameter. However, it lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance or references to alternative tools.

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

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description only states 'Update an existing view' and 'Returns: Empty dict on success.' It does not disclose side effects, idempotency, permission requirements, or behavior on failure (e.g., if view does not exist).

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 brief and front-loaded with the purpose. The arg list is redundant given the schema but acceptable for readability. No unnecessary content.

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

Completeness2/5

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

With no annotations, the description should cover behavioral details. It omits whether updates are partial or full, error handling, and the optional nature of 'title' and 'position.' The return value is mentioned but lacks additional context.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description only repeats parameter names with trivial descriptions (e.g., 'project_id: ID of the project'). It adds no semantic depth beyond the schema titles, failing to compensate for the lack of 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 'Update an existing view,' specifying the verb 'update' and the resource 'view.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_view, delete_view, and get_view.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks context such as prerequisites, conditions for use, or when to prefer other tools like create_view.

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

validate_project_backupA

No output parameters

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It notes the tool returns validation results, errors, warnings, and summary, but does not disclose specific validation checks or side effects (likely none). Adequate but not comprehensive.

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 short and front-loaded with the purpose. However, it sacrifices some detail for brevity, missing parameter description.

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 simple structure (1 param, output schema exists), the description covers basic purpose and return types but lacks depth on validation criteria and failure conditions. Reasonably complete but not thorough.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0% and the description only repeats 'Backup payload to inspect', adding no meaning beyond the parameter name. The schema allows any object, so more detail about expected structure is 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 clearly states the tool validates a project backup before restore, using specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like restore_project_backup and summarize_project_backup.

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 before restore but does not explicitly mention when not to use or provide alternatives. Some guidance is given but lacks explicit differentiation.

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

validate_schedule_cron_formatC

Validate a cron expression for Semaphore schedules.

Args: project_id: ID of the project cron_format: Cron expression to validate

Returns: Empty dict on success

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
project_idYes
cron_formatYes

Output Schema

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescription

No output parameters

TDQS

C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

The description only says it validates and returns an empty dict on success. It does not disclose error behavior, whether it is read-only, idempotent, or what constitutes a valid cron format. With no annotations, the description should provide more behavioral context.

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 very short and front-loaded with the main purpose. It uses a simple Args/Returns structure. No unnecessary sentences, but could include a bit more detail without becoming verbose.

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?

For a simple validation tool with two parameters and a trivial output (empty dict), the description is adequate. However, it lacks any constraints or caveats about cron format expectations, making it barely sufficient in context.

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

Parameters2/5

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

The param descriptions ('ID of the project', 'Cron expression to validate') are nearly identical to the schema titles ('Project Id', 'Cron Format'), adding minimal extra meaning. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to significantly compensate.

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 validates a cron expression for Semaphore schedules, specifying the two arguments. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like create_schedule or update_schedule that also involve cron expressions.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. For example, it doesn't mention using it before creating or updating a schedule, nor does it indicate prerequisites or circumstances to avoid.

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

C2.8/5.0

Scored across 69 tools

Disambiguation2/5

Several tools overlap heavily: get_last_events and list_events are effectively the same operation with the same limit argument, and list_tasks/filter_tasks both provide status/tag filtering. The failed-task analysis family (analyze_task_failure, bulk_analyze_failures, get_latest_failed_task) also blurs boundaries, so agents can easily select the wrong tool despite generally distinct resource families.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a predictable lower_snake verb_noun pattern (list_, get_, create_, update_, delete_ per resource). Minor deviations such as get_last_events vs list_events, list_inventory as a plural list, and asymmetric failure-analysis names prevent a perfect score.

Tool Count1/5

69 tools is far into the extreme range for an MCP server and will flood the agent's context and tool-selection space. Even though SemaphoreUI has many resource types, nearly every CRUD and bulk variant is exposed; a curated 15-25 tool surface would be far more appropriate.

Completeness3/5

The server covers most major Semaphore resources with full CRUD lifecycles: projects, templates, vistas, schedules, tasks, environments, inventory, repositories, access keys, users, and backups. However, secret management (a core Semaphore concept referenced by vaults/backups) is absent, and there is no global user lookup to supply user_id when adding project users.
