Instructions

Get top-rated software tools by category, ranked by aggregated G2 and Capterra scores.

categoryNoCategory slug to filter by, or "all" for overall leaderboard (default: "all")
limitNoNumber of top tools to return (default: 10)

Implementation Reference

  • The getLeaderboard function that executes the tool logic. It fetches all tools, optionally filters by category, sorts by rating descending, slices to the requested limit, and formats the output.
    async function getLeaderboard(args) {
      const { category = 'all', limit = 10 } = args;
      const allTools = await getAllTools();
    
      let filtered = category === 'all'
        ? allTools
        : allTools.filter(t => t.category === category);
    
      if (filtered.length === 0) return `No tools found for category "${category}".`;
    
      filtered.sort((a, b) => (b.rating ?? 0) - (a.rating ?? 0));
      const top = filtered.slice(0, limit);
    
      const header = category === 'all'
        ? `Overall leaderboard (top ${top.length} by rating):`
        : `Leaderboard for ${top[0]?.categoryName || category} (top ${top.length} by rating):`;
    
      const lines = top.map((t, i) =>
        `${String(i + 1).padStart(2)}. ${t.name.padEnd(30)} Rating: ${String(t.rating ?? 'N/A').padEnd(6)} Free: ${t.freePlan ? 'Yes' : 'No'} | ${toolURL(t.slug)}`
      );
      return `${header}\n\n${lines.join('\n')}`;
    }
  • The input schema definition for get_leaderboard, specifying the 'category' (string, default 'all') and 'limit' (number, default 10) parameters.
    {
      name: 'get_leaderboard',
      description: 'Get top-rated software tools by category, ranked by aggregated G2 and Capterra scores.',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          category: { type: 'string', description: 'Category slug to filter by, or "all" for overall leaderboard (default: "all")' },
          limit: { type: 'number', description: 'Number of top tools to return (default: 10)' },
        },
      },
    },
  • index.js:456-456 (registration)
    Registration/dispatch entry in the callTool switch statement that routes the 'get_leaderboard' tool name to the getLeaderboard function.
    case 'get_leaderboard': return getLeaderboard(args);
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It indicates a read operation and sources of rankings but does not detail authentication, data freshness, error handling, or response format. This is minimally acceptable.

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, well-structured sentence containing only necessary elements. It is front-loaded with the key action and outcome, with no redundant or vague phrasing.

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 no output schema, the description should clarify return value structure (e.g., tool names, scores). It names the aggregation sources but does not describe the output format, making it adequate but 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 parameter coverage is 100% with descriptions. The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond what the schema already provides, meeting the baseline for high-coverage cases.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool retrieves top-rated software tools by category, ranked by aggregated G2 and Capterra scores. It uses a specific verb ('Get') and distinct resource ('leaderboard'), differentiating it from sibling tools like 'search_tools' or 'compare_tools'.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for viewing a category-based leaderboard but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks 'when-to-use' or 'when-not-to-use' context.

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