Tool Scores

• create-sticky-notesC
  2.9/5.0
  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 mentions the 1000-item limit, which is useful, but doesn't address critical aspects like authentication requirements, rate limits, error conditions, or what happens when creating duplicates. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps.

  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, efficient sentence that communicates the core action and a key constraint. It's front-loaded with the main purpose and contains no redundant information, making it appropriately sized for its purpose.

  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 creation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficiently complete. It doesn't explain what the tool returns, error conditions, authentication needs, or how it differs from the sibling 'update-sticky-note' tool. The 1000-item limit is helpful but doesn't compensate for other critical missing 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?

  Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already fully documents both parameters (muralId and stickyNotes array). The description adds the 1000-item maximum constraint, which provides some additional context beyond the schema's maxItems property, but doesn't significantly enhance parameter understanding beyond what's already in structured fields.

  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 action ('create sticky notes') and target resource ('on a mural'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from the sibling 'update-sticky-note' tool, which would require explicit comparison for a score of 5.

  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 like 'update-sticky-note' or when not to use it. It mentions a maximum quantity (1000 per request) but offers no context about prerequisites, appropriate scenarios, or sibling tool relationships.

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

• delete-widgetC
  2.9/5.0
  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 action ('Delete') which implies a destructive mutation, but doesn't add context beyond that—such as whether deletion is permanent, requires specific permissions, or has side effects. This is inadequate for a mutation 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.

  Conciseness5/5

  Is 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 purpose without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded for quick understanding.

  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 complexity of a destructive deletion tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks crucial context like behavioral traits (e.g., permanence, permissions), usage guidelines, or what to expect after invocation, making it insufficient for safe and 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?

  The schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters ('muralId' and 'widgetId') documented in the schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond implying that 'widgetId' identifies the widget to delete, which is already clear from the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

  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 action ('Delete') and resource ('a widget by ID'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't distinguish from siblings like 'update-sticky-note' or 'get-mural-widget', but the verb 'Delete' is specific enough for basic differentiation.

  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 doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing the widget ID from 'get-mural-widget'), exclusions, or sibling tools like 'update-sticky-note' for modifications instead of deletion.

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

• get-boardC
  2.9/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states this is a 'Get' operation, implying read-only behavior, but doesn't clarify if it requires authentication, has rate limits, returns specific data formats, or handles errors. This leaves key behavioral traits unspecified for a tool in a context with auth-related siblings.

  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, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly.

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

  Completeness2/5

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

  Given the complexity of a read operation in a system with authentication and multiple board-related tools, the description is incomplete. It lacks output details (no output schema provided), doesn't address auth requirements implied by sibling tools, and offers minimal behavioral context. This is inadequate for guiding an agent effectively in this environment.

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

  Parameters3/5

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

  The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the single parameter 'boardId' clearly documented as 'The unique identifier of the board/mural'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond this, such as format examples or constraints, so it meets the baseline of 3 when the schema does the heavy lifting.

  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 ('Get') and resource ('detailed information about a specific board (mural)'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this tool from similar siblings like 'get-mural-widget' or 'list-room-boards', which would require a 5.

  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 like 'list-room-boards' or 'get-mural-widget'. It lacks any context about prerequisites, such as needing authentication or specific scopes, which is a significant gap given the sibling tools include auth-related ones like 'check-user-scopes'.

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

• get-mural-widgetsC
  2.9/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool retrieves all widgets but doesn't mention critical behaviors like whether it's read-only, safe, requires authentication, has rate limits, or returns paginated results. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand how to interact with it effectively.

  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, direct sentence with zero wasted words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it highly efficient and easy to parse for an agent.

  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 lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'all widgets' entails (e.g., format, structure, or limitations), and behavioral aspects like safety or authentication are omitted. For a tool with no structured support, more context is needed to guide proper 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?

  The input schema has 100% description coverage, with 'muralId' clearly documented as 'The unique identifier of the mural'. The description doesn't add any extra meaning beyond this, such as format examples or constraints, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage without compensating value.

  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 action ('Get') and resource ('all widgets from a mural'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from its sibling 'get-mural-widget' (singular), which appears to fetch a single widget versus all widgets.

  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 like 'get-mural-widget' or other widget-related tools. It lacks context about prerequisites, such as needing a valid mural ID, and doesn't mention any exclusions or specific use cases.

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

• get-workspaceC
  2.9/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. While 'Get detailed information' implies a read-only operation, it doesn't specify whether this requires authentication, what kind of information is returned, or any rate limits or error conditions. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.

  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, efficient sentence that is front-loaded and wastes no words. It directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary elaboration, making it highly concise and well-structured for quick understanding.

  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 lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'detailed information' includes, the response format, or any behavioral aspects like authentication needs. For a tool that likely returns structured data, this leaves the agent with insufficient context to use it effectively.

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

  Parameters3/5

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

  The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the single parameter 'workspaceId' clearly documented in the schema. The description doesn't add any meaning beyond what the schema provides (e.g., it doesn't explain format examples or constraints), so it meets the baseline of 3 where the schema does the heavy lifting.

  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 tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('detailed information about a specific workspace'), making it immediately understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this tool from sibling tools like 'list-workspaces' or 'get-board', which would require more specific differentiation to earn a perfect score.

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

  Usage Guidelines2/5

  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 doesn't mention sibling tools like 'list-workspaces' (for listing multiple workspaces) or 'get-board' (for workspace-related boards), nor does it specify prerequisites such as needing a workspace ID. This leaves the agent without contextual usage instructions.

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

• list-workspacesC
  2.9/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions authentication ('authenticated user') but lacks details on rate limits, pagination behavior (implied by parameters but not described), error handling, or response format. This is inadequate for a tool with parameters and no output schema.

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

  Conciseness5/5

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

  The description is a single, clear sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the core purpose and efficiently conveys the essential information without unnecessary elaboration.

  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 no annotations, no output schema, and parameters with implied behavior (e.g., pagination), the description is incomplete. It should explain the return format, authentication requirements, or error cases to adequately support tool invocation in 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?

  Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema fully documents the optional 'limit' and 'offset' parameters. The description does not add any parameter-specific information beyond what the schema provides, such as default values or usage examples, meeting the baseline for high schema 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 the verb ('List') and resource ('workspaces'), specifying that it returns all workspaces accessible to the authenticated user. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'get-workspace' (which likely retrieves a single workspace) or 'list-workspace-boards' (which focuses on boards within a workspace), missing explicit sibling distinction.

  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 scenarios like initial setup, user access audits, or comparisons with 'get-workspace' for single workspace retrieval, leaving usage context implied rather than explicit.

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

• update-sticky-noteC
  2.9/5.0
  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 but only states the basic action. It doesn't mention whether this requires specific permissions, whether updates are partial or complete, what happens to unspecified properties, error handling, or rate limits. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.

  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, efficient sentence that states the core purpose without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a tool with comprehensive schema documentation and gets straight to the point.

  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 mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It doesn't explain what happens on success/failure, return values, error conditions, or behavioral constraints. The comprehensive schema helps with inputs, but the overall context for using this tool remains incomplete.

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

  Parameters3/5

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

  Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters thoroughly. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what's in the schema. The baseline score of 3 reflects adequate parameter documentation entirely through the schema, with no value added by the description.

  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 action ('Update') and target resource ('a sticky note widget in a mural'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate this tool from potential sibling operations like 'create-sticky-notes' or 'delete-widget' beyond the obvious verb difference.

  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 like 'create-sticky-notes' or 'delete-widget'. There's no mention of prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing widget), error conditions, or appropriate contexts for updating versus creating new sticky notes.

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

• check-user-scopesB
  3.1/5.0
  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 mentions checking scopes and permissions but does not specify what information is returned (e.g., list of scopes, permission levels), whether it requires authentication, or if it has side effects like logging. This leaves significant gaps in understanding the tool's 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 a single, clear sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without any unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and efficiently communicates the core function, 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.

  Completeness2/5

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

  Given the tool's complexity (checking user permissions, which could involve authentication and data retrieval), the description is incomplete. With no annotations and no output schema, it fails to explain what the tool returns (e.g., scope list, error messages) or any behavioral nuances, making it inadequate for full understanding.

  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 tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema fully documents the lack of inputs. The description adds no parameter information, which is acceptable here since no parameters exist. A baseline of 4 is appropriate as it doesn't need to compensate for any gaps.

  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 tool's purpose with a specific verb ('Check') and resource ('current user's OAuth scopes and permissions'), making it immediately understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get-rate-limit-status' or 'test-connection', which might also relate to system or user status checks, so it falls short of a perfect score.

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

  Usage Guidelines2/5

  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 whether it's for authentication debugging, permission verification, or other contexts. It lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use statements, leaving usage context implied at best.

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

• get-mural-widgetB
  3.1/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states this is a read operation ('Get details'), but doesn't cover aspects like authentication needs, rate limits, error handling, or what details are returned. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.

  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, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse. Every part of the sentence earns its place by conveying essential information.

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

  Completeness3/5

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

  Given the tool's low complexity (2 required parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate. It covers the basic purpose but lacks details on usage context, behavioral traits, or output expectations. Without annotations or output schema, more guidance would be helpful, but it meets the minimum for a simple read tool.

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

  Parameters3/5

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

  Schema description coverage is 100%, with both parameters ('muralId' and 'widgetId') clearly documented in the schema. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema by implying these IDs are required for fetching widget details, but doesn't provide additional context like format examples or relationships between parameters. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

  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 ('Get details') and resource ('specific widget by ID'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get-mural-widgets' (plural) or 'get-board', but the singular focus on one widget is implied. This is clear but lacks explicit sibling differentiation.

  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 doesn't mention sibling tools like 'get-mural-widgets' for listing multiple widgets or 'get-board' for broader mural details, nor does it specify prerequisites or exclusions. Usage is implied only by the tool name and description, with no explicit context.

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

• list-room-boardsB
  3.1/5.0
  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. While 'List all boards' implies a read-only operation, it doesn't address important behavioral aspects like pagination, rate limits, authentication requirements, error conditions, or what 'all boards' means in practice (e.g., archived boards, permission-based filtering).

  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, efficient sentence that gets straight to the point with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple list operation and front-loads the essential information.

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

  Completeness3/5

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

  For a simple read operation with one well-documented parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, without annotations and with multiple sibling tools offering similar functionality, it lacks sufficient context about when this specific tool should be selected and what behavioral characteristics to expect.

  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 has 100% description coverage, with the single parameter 'roomId' clearly documented as 'The unique identifier of the room'. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond what's already in the schema, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

  Purpose4/5

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

  The description clearly states the action ('List all boards') and resource ('within a specific room'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't distinguish this tool from its sibling 'list-workspace-boards' which suggests a similar listing function but at a different scope level.

  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 like 'list-workspace-boards' or 'get-board'. There's no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or comparative context with sibling tools.

  Conciseness5/5

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

  The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy for an AI agent to parse quickly.

  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's low complexity (one parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description is minimally adequate. It covers the basic action but lacks details on behavior, usage context, and output, which are needed for a more complete understanding, especially with no annotations to fill gaps.

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

  Parameters3/5

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

  The input schema has 100% description coverage, with the 'workspaceId' parameter clearly documented. The description adds no additional parameter details beyond what the schema provides, such as examples or constraints. This meets the baseline score when the schema does the heavy lifting.

  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 ('List') and resource ('boards (murals) within a specific workspace'), making the purpose understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list-room-boards' or 'get-board', which might handle similar resources, so it falls short of a perfect score.

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

  Usage Guidelines2/5

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

  The description provides minimal guidance by specifying 'within a specific workspace', but it doesn't indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list-room-boards' or 'get-board', nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions. This lack of comparative context limits its utility for an AI agent.

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

• get-rate-limit-statusB
  3.2/5.0
  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 what information is retrieved but doesn't describe how the data is sourced (e.g., from an API endpoint, cached values), whether it requires authentication, potential rate limits on this call itself, or the format of the returned data. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its 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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action ('Get current rate limiting status') and specifies key details ('including remaining tokens and refresh times'). Every word earns its place with no redundancy or fluff, 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.

  Completeness3/5

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

  Given the tool's low complexity (0 parameters, no output schema), the description is adequate for basic understanding but incomplete. It lacks behavioral context (e.g., authentication needs, data freshness) and doesn't explain return values, which is a gap since no output schema exists. For a diagnostic tool, more detail on usage and output would improve 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 tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters, focusing instead on the tool's purpose. A baseline of 4 is applied as it correctly handles the lack of parameters without unnecessary details.

  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 'Get' and the resource 'current rate limiting status', specifying what information is retrieved (remaining tokens and refresh times). It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on rate limits rather than user scopes, boards, workspaces, or other resources. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from all siblings, just implies a unique purpose.

  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 doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., after API calls to monitor limits), exclusions, or relate to sibling tools like 'test-connection' or 'debug-api-response' that might be used in similar diagnostic contexts. Usage is implied only by the tool's name and purpose.

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

  3.4/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. The description mentions it's a 'debug tool' and shows 'raw API response,' which implies read-only behavior and potential verbosity, but it does not specify critical details such as whether it requires authentication, if it has rate limits, what format the response is in, or if it affects system state. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap, warranting a score of 2.

  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, efficient sentence: 'Debug tool: Show raw API response from workspaces endpoint for troubleshooting.' It is front-loaded with the key purpose and context, with no wasted words. Every part of the sentence adds value, 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.

  Completeness3/5

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

  Given the tool's complexity (a debug tool with no parameters), the description provides basic context but lacks completeness. There is no output schema, so the description does not explain return values (e.g., what the 'raw API response' includes). With no annotations and incomplete behavioral details, the description is adequate as a minimum viable description but has clear gaps, aligning with a score of 3.

  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 parameters with 100% coverage, meaning no parameters are documented in the schema. The description does not add parameter information, which is appropriate since there are no parameters. According to the rules, for 0 parameters, the baseline is 4, as there is nothing to compensate for, and the description does not mislead about 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?

  The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Debug tool: Show raw API response from workspaces endpoint for troubleshooting.' It specifies the verb ('Show'), resource ('raw API response from workspaces endpoint'), and context ('for troubleshooting'). However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get-workspace' or 'list-workspaces' that might also retrieve workspace data, which prevents a score of 5.

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

  Usage Guidelines3/5

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

  The description implies usage context by stating 'for troubleshooting,' suggesting this tool should be used when debugging issues rather than for regular operations. However, it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'get-workspace' or 'list-workspaces'), nor does it specify exclusions or prerequisites. This leaves some ambiguity, fitting a score of 3.

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

• test-connectionA
  3.9/5.0
  Behavior2/5

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

  No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions verifying authentication, which hints at a read-only, non-destructive operation, but does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether it requires specific permissions, what happens on failure (e.g., error messages), or if it has rate limits. The description is minimal and leaves key operational details unspecified.

  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, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without any redundant or unnecessary information. It is front-loaded and appropriately sized for a simple tool with no parameters, making it easy to understand quickly.

  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's simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate but minimal. It covers the basic purpose but lacks details on behavioral aspects like error handling or response format, which could be helpful for an agent. For a connection-testing tool, more context on what 'verify authentication' entails would improve 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 input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description does not add parameter details beyond the schema, but since there are no parameters, this is acceptable. A baseline of 4 is appropriate as the description does not need to compensate for any gaps in parameter documentation.

  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 specific action ('Test the connection') and target resource ('Mural API'), with the additional purpose of verifying authentication. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'clear-auth' or 'get-rate-limit-status' by focusing on connectivity testing rather than authentication management or status checking.

  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 context—when you need to verify API connectivity and authentication—but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'debug-api-response' for troubleshooting or 'get-rate-limit-status' for performance checks. It provides clear intent but lacks explicit exclusions or comparisons.

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

• clear-authA
  4.4/5.0
  Behavior4/5

  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 effectively describes a destructive action ('Clear') and its consequence ('requires re-authentication'), which are critical behavioral traits. However, it lacks details like whether this action is reversible, its impact on ongoing sessions, or error handling, leaving some gaps in transparency.

  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, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action ('Clear stored authentication tokens') and follows with essential context ('requires re-authentication'). There is no wasted verbiage, and every word contributes to understanding the tool's purpose and implications.

  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 complexity (simple, parameterless action) and lack of annotations or output schema, the description is mostly complete. It covers the action and its key consequence. However, it could be more comprehensive by addressing potential side effects or confirming success, which would enhance completeness for a destructive operation.

  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 tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description does not add parameter-specific information, which is appropriate. A baseline of 4 is applied as it meets expectations for a parameterless tool without redundancy or omission.

  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 specific action ('Clear') and resource ('stored authentication tokens'), distinguishing it from all sibling tools which perform different operations like checking, creating, deleting, or listing resources. It precisely communicates what the tool does without being vague or tautological.

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

  Usage Guidelines4/5

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

  The description provides clear context for usage by indicating that it 'requires re-authentication,' which implicitly guides when to use this tool (e.g., when tokens need invalidation or troubleshooting). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, such as tools for checking authentication status, which could enhance guidance.

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