Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.12.3
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct operation: expression evaluation, interest calculation, statistics, unit conversion, matrix operations (5 separate), plot types (6 separate), and workspace management. No two tools have overlapping purposes, and cross-references in descriptions clarify boundaries (e.g., calc_statistics vs calc_expression).
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names follow a consistent pattern: a domain prefix (calc_, matrix_, plot_, workspace_) followed by a descriptive noun (e.g., expression, interest, determinant, histogram, save). Snake_case is used uniformly, with no mixing of styles.
Tool Count5/517 tools is well-scoped for a math learning server, covering arithmetic, statistics, linear algebra, unit conversion, plotting, and data persistence. Each tool has a clear role, neither too few nor too many for the domain's breadth.
Completeness4/5The tool set covers core mathematical areas (expressions, statistics, matrices, unit conversion, plotting) and workspace persistence, but lacks dedicated tools for algebra, calculus, or probability distributions. Minor gaps exist, but the core learning workflows are supported.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, covering safety. The description adds a dependency requirement (matplotlib) but no other behavioral traits. With annotations, the bar is lower; this is adequate but minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: two short sentences and two examples. It is front-loaded and every sentence serves a purpose. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 7 parameters and no output schema, the description lacks explanation of what happens after plotting (e.g., display or return). While annotations cover safety, the brief description does not fully address the tool's runtime behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no extra parameter details beyond examples that mirror the schema. No additional meaning provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description specifies 'Create a scatter plot from data points', which is a clear verb-resource pair. However, it does not distinguish from sibling plot tools like plot_line_chart or plot_histogram, which have similar formats.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide any guidance on when to use a scatter plot versus alternatives. It only notes a dependency (matplotlib) but no 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.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, indicating no side effects. The description adds the dependency on matplotlib but does not elaborate on other behavioral traits like display behavior or resource usage. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: one sentence with a prerequisite note and two example calls. Every sentence is valuable, and it is front-loaded with the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., a figure object or whether it displays the plot). The three parameters are well-described, but the tool's output behavior is missing, which may confuse an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema covers 100% of parameters with clear descriptions. The description provides examples demonstrating typical parameter values, which adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates statistical histograms, with examples showing typical usage. However, it does not differentiate from sibling plot tools like plot_box_plot or plot_line_chart, which serve similar visualization purposes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description mentions the requirement of matplotlib but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., for histograms vs. other chart types). Usage is implied by the tool name and examples.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, establishing safety. The description adds a specific error condition (ValueError if NumPy unavailable) which is useful. However, it does not disclose behavior for singular (non-invertible) matrices or other edge cases, which is a notable gap beyond what annotations cover.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is succinct with three labeled sections: purpose, note, and examples. Every sentence contributes value. There is no redundancy or filler. The structure aids quick parsing, fitting within a few lines.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With a single parameter and existing output schema, the description is largely complete. It covers the core operation, a dependency note, and examples. Minor omission: no mention of what happens for singular matrices or the output format (though output schema likely handles that). Overall, it meets the needs for this straightforward tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description's examples mirror the schema's example, adding no new semantic information. No additional detail about matrix constraints (e.g., size, value ranges) is provided. The description adds marginal value over the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'Calculate the inverse of a square matrix,' which is a specific verb+resource combination. It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like matrix_determinant and matrix_multiply by specifying 'inverse' and 'square matrix'. Examples further clarify the intended input format.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 matrix_determinant or matrix_multiply. The description lacks information about prerequisites (e.g., matrix must be invertible) or when to choose another matrix operation. Examples show typical usage but do not help the agent decide contextually.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate mutation (readOnlyHint=false) and no idempotency. Description adds context of persistence (surviving restarts) but does not disclose overwrite behavior if a variable with the same name already exists, which is a notable gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is brief and front-loaded with the core purpose. Two examples efficiently show usage. Could be slightly more concise, but overall well-structured with no wasted sentences.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Description and annotations cover basic behavior, but the tool has an output schema not shown here. No mention of return value, error handling, or overwrite behavior. For a mutation tool with 3 required params, more completeness is expected.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for all three parameters. The description adds no additional semantic meaning beyond the schema and examples, meeting the baseline for full coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Title and description clearly state the tool saves a calculation to persistent workspace. Examples illustrate the exact syntax with name, expression, and result. Distinct from sibling tools like workspace_load or calc_* tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description explains what the tool does but lacks explicit guidance on when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., when to save vs. just calculate). Examples are helpful but no when-not-to-use or prerequisite conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate idempotent and readonly. Description adds that data persists across sessions (via examples), but no error behavior or case of missing variable.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Description adds context that it requires matplotlib, creates realistic patterns for educational purposes, and does not use real market data. No contradictions. Slight gap: does not explicitly state that it generates data each call (consistent with idempotent hint if parameters same).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Highly concise: three short paragraphs plus two examples. Front-loaded with purpose, then usage, then notes. 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.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 4 parameters, no output schema, but annotations present, the description covers purpose, usage, parameter examples, and behavioral notes (matplotlib requirement). Could mention that the output is a displayed plot (not returned data) but not essential for agent usage. Missing explicit return description is minor.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 4 parameters. Description adds examples and clarifies trend values (bullish, bearish, volatile) and moving average overlay, but these are supplementary rather than essential beyond schema. At baseline 3 since schema already does heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it generates and plots synthetic financial price data, with specific mentions of time-series price data and moving average overlay. It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'plot_line_chart' by specifying use for financial data vs general XY data.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use: 'Use for time-series price data with optional moving average overlay.' Also provides an alternative: 'For general XY data, use plot_line_chart instead.' This gives clear guidance on tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds the dependency note (requires matplotlib), but does not detail what the tool returns (e.g., whether it displays a chart or returns a figure). Minor gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Concise with a clear purpose sentence, a usage note, and two illustrative examples. No wasted words; information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given full schema coverage and annotations, the description adequately covers purpose, usage, and examples. However, it does not specify the output format (e.g., returns a matplotlib figure or displays the chart), which would improve completeness for a tool with no output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema descriptions cover 100% of parameters with clear examples and defaults. The description does not add new parameter details beyond the schema; examples illustrate usage but do not enhance parameter understanding significantly.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a line chart from data points and specifies it is for general XY data. It distinguishes from the sibling tool plot_financial_line.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit guidance on when to use (general XY data) and when not to use (time-series price data with moving average, suggesting plot_financial_line instead). Also mentions the dependency on matplotlib.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description adds value beyond annotations by noting NumPy requirement and providing examples. No contradiction with readOnlyHint and idempotentHint.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is brief, front-loaded with action, includes necessary note and examples. Every sentence is useful, no waste.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given full schema coverage and presence of output schema, description is complete. It explains tool purpose, dependency, and provides examples.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description includes examples but does not add new parameter semantics beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Calculate the eigenvalues of a square matrix', which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling matrix tools like determinant and inverse.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides context on required dependency (NumPy) and failure mode (ValueError). Lacks explicit 'when not to use' but purpose is clear enough to infer appropriate usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Adds 'safely' context beyond annotations, lists all operations and functions, and provides examples demonstrating behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Very concise: single line purpose, bulleted ops, clear usage note, and three diverse examples. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Complete for a simple calculator: purpose, operations, parameter, usage guidance, examples. Annotations and output schema handle remaining context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema already provides good parameter description (100% coverage). Description adds constraint 'single mathematical expression' and usage context, adding value beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'evaluate mathematical expressions' with supported operations and functions. Distinguishes from siblings like calc_statistics.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use (single expression) and when not (statistics), naming the alternative tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
