MCP Math Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Every tool has a clearly distinct mathematical operation with no overlap in purpose. The descriptions specify unique functions like addition, division, GCD, LCM, multiplication, square root, squaring, and subtraction, making misselection highly unlikely.
Naming Consistency4/5The naming is mostly consistent with a simple verb-based pattern (e.g., add, divide, multiply, subtract), but there are minor deviations: 'gcm' and 'lcm' use acronyms instead of full names, and 'sqrt' is an abbreviation, which slightly breaks the pattern while remaining readable.
Tool Count5/5With 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for a basic math utility, covering essential arithmetic and number theory operations. Each tool earns its place without redundancy, and the count is neither too sparse nor overwhelming for the domain.
Completeness4/5The tool set covers core arithmetic operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) and key number theory functions (GCD, LCM, square, square root), with minor gaps such as lacking advanced operations like exponentiation or trigonometric functions, but agents can work around this for basic math tasks.

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
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool calculates a square, which implies a read-only, non-destructive operation, but doesn't cover potential errors (e.g., for non-numeric inputs), performance aspects, or output format. This leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves beyond its basic function.
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 and front-loaded, consisting of a single, clear sentence that directly states the tool's function without any wasted words. Every part of the sentence earns its place by conveying essential information efficiently.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's low complexity, no annotations, no output schema, and minimal parameter documentation, the description is incomplete. It explains what the tool does but lacks details on usage context, parameter meaning, behavioral traits, or output, making it insufficient for an agent to fully understand how to invoke it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, with one parameter 'a' of type 'number' but no explanation in the schema. The description doesn't add any meaning beyond the tool's purpose; it doesn't clarify what 'a' represents (e.g., the input number) or any constraints (e.g., valid ranges). This fails to compensate for the low schema coverage.
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's purpose with a specific verb ('calculate') and resource ('square of a number'), making it easy to understand what it does. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this from sibling tools like 'multiply' or 'sqrt', which could perform similar mathematical operations, so it doesn't reach the highest score.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'multiply' (which could compute squares by multiplying a number by itself) and 'sqrt' (which computes square roots), there's no indication of when 'square' is preferred, leaving the agent to guess based on context.
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 are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions the operation 'a / b' but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as error handling (e.g., division by zero), output format, or performance characteristics. This leaves significant gaps for an AI agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with a single sentence that directly states the tool's function. It is front-loaded with no wasted words, making it efficient and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of a division operation with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on error cases (e.g., division by zero), return values, or usage context, which are crucial for proper tool invocation.
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 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds meaning by specifying that 'a' is divided by 'b', which clarifies the order of parameters beyond the schema's type definitions. However, it doesn't explain parameter roles (e.g., dividend and divisor) or constraints like numeric ranges.
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 verb 'divide' and the resources 'a' and 'b', making the purpose explicit. It distinguishes from siblings like 'add' or 'multiply' by specifying division. However, it doesn't explicitly mention it's a mathematical operation, though this is implied.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'multiply' or 'subtract'. It states what the tool does but offers no context about appropriate use cases, 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?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic operation without mentioning traits like error handling (e.g., for non-numeric inputs), performance, or side effects. This leaves significant gaps for an AI agent to understand how the tool behaves beyond the core function.
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 a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core purpose and uses clear, direct language, making it easy to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (basic arithmetic) and lack of annotations or output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't cover return values, error cases, or behavioral nuances, which are minimal but still relevant for reliable tool invocation by 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?
The schema description coverage is 0%, but the description adds minimal semantics by naming the parameters 'a' and 'b' as 'two numbers'. However, it doesn't explain their roles (e.g., multiplicands), constraints, or examples. This provides some value over the bare schema but doesn't fully compensate for the low coverage.
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 'Multiply two numbers a * b' clearly states the verb (multiply) and resource (two numbers), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like 'add' or 'subtract' by specifying multiplication, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with all siblings (e.g., 'square' is also a multiplication operation).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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. The description doesn't mention use cases, prerequisites, or comparisons to siblings like 'square' (which multiplies a number by itself) or 'gcm/lcm' (which involve multiplication in different contexts).
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?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the mathematical operation without mentioning error handling (e.g., what happens with non-numeric inputs), performance characteristics, or any side effects. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps unaddressed.
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 with zero wasted words - just 6 words that directly state the operation. It's perfectly front-loaded with the essential information. Every word earns its place in this minimal but complete operational statement.
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?
For a simple mathematical tool with 2 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description provides the core operation but lacks context about error conditions, return values, or mathematical constraints. It's minimally adequate for basic use but doesn't prepare the agent for edge cases or provide complete operational 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?
The description clearly explains the parameter relationship 'Subtract b from a (a - b)', which adds crucial semantic meaning beyond the schema's basic type declarations. With 0% schema description coverage and 2 parameters, this compensates well by clarifying the order and operation of parameters, though it doesn't specify numeric constraints or special cases.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose3/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the specific mathematical operation 'Subtract b from a (a - b)', which clearly indicates what the tool does. However, it doesn't distinguish this from sibling tools like 'add' or 'divide' beyond the basic operation name. The description is functional but lacks differentiation from alternatives in the same mathematical toolkit.
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 provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'add', 'divide', or 'multiply'. There's no mention of appropriate mathematical contexts, error conditions, or comparisons to sibling tools. The user must infer usage solely from the operation name without any contextual help.
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 are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions the operation ('Add') but doesn't disclose behavioral traits like error handling for non-numeric inputs, overflow, or return format. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant 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?

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 the tool's low complexity (simple addition) and no output schema, the description is minimally complete but lacks details on return values or error cases. It's adequate for basic use but could be improved with more 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?
The description adds meaning beyond the input schema by specifying that parameters 'a' and 'b' are numbers to be added. With 0% schema description coverage, this compensates well, though it doesn't detail constraints like integer vs. float or range limits.
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 'Add two numbers a + b' clearly states the specific verb ('Add') and resource ('two numbers'), and distinguishes it from sibling tools like subtract, multiply, and divide. It's precise 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 Guidelines2/5Does 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 like subtract, multiply, or divide. It states what the tool does but not when it's appropriate, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name alone.
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 are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. While 'calculate' implies a read-only operation, the description doesn't specify error handling (e.g., for non-integer inputs), performance characteristics, or output format. It lacks details on what happens with negative numbers, zeros, or large values.
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 a single, efficient sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core purpose and uses precise terminology ('greatest common measure (GCD)'). Every word earns its place by defining the operation and its inputs.
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?
For a simple mathematical tool with 2 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It covers the basic purpose and parameters but lacks behavioral details (e.g., output format, error cases) and usage guidelines relative to siblings. The absence of annotations increases the need for more completeness.
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?
The description explicitly states that the tool calculates GCD for 'two numbers,' which directly maps to parameters a and b. With 0% schema description coverage (schema only specifies types as 'number'), this adds crucial semantic meaning beyond the bare schema. However, it doesn't clarify if these are integers, natural numbers, or any numerical type.
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 specific verb ('calculate') and resource ('greatest common measure (GCD) of two numbers'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like add, subtract, multiply, divide, lcm, sqrt, and square. It precisely defines the mathematical operation being performed.
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?

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?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the calculation action but does not describe traits like error handling (e.g., for non-integer inputs), performance characteristics, or output format. This is a significant gap for a tool with zero annotation coverage.
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 a single, efficient sentence with zero waste—it directly states the tool's function without unnecessary words. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.
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 the tool's low complexity (basic arithmetic operation) and lack of annotations or output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It covers the core purpose but lacks details on behavior, usage guidelines, and output, which could hinder an agent's ability to use it effectively in varied contexts.
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?
The description adds meaningful context beyond the input schema by specifying that the parameters are 'two numbers' for calculating the LCM, which clarifies the purpose of 'a' and 'b'. With 0% schema description coverage and 2 parameters, this compensates well, though it doesn't detail constraints like integer-only inputs.
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?

Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 like 'gcm' (likely greatest common divisor) or other arithmetic operations. It lacks context about use cases, prerequisites, or comparisons with sibling tools, leaving the agent to infer usage scenarios.
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 are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions rounding behavior ('rounded to two decimals'), which is valuable, but lacks details on error handling (e.g., for negative numbers), performance, or output format. This leaves gaps for a mutation-like tool (calculation) with no annotation coverage.
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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core purpose ('Calculate the square root of a number') and adds precision details without waste. Every word earns its place, making it highly concise and well-structured.
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 the tool's low complexity (single parameter, mathematical operation) and lack of annotations or output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It covers the basic purpose and rounding behavior but misses error handling and output details, which could be important for an agent invoking this tool.
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?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, with one parameter 'x' of type 'number' but no semantic explanation. The description compensates by clarifying that 'x' is 'a number' for which the square root is calculated, adding meaningful context beyond the bare schema. Since there is only one parameter, this is sufficient for a high baseline.
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 specific action ('calculate the square root') and resource ('a number'), with additional precision details ('rounded to two decimals'). It effectively distinguishes this tool from sibling mathematical operations like 'square' or 'multiply' by specifying the square root function.
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?
