Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v2.0.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose. Tools are organized by dimension (dashboard, history, run detail) and by action (list, get, start, check, fetch). Descriptions are detailed and differentiate similar tools. No two tools appear to do the same thing.
Naming Consistency5/5Tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores, all lowercase. Groups of related tools (e.g., get_content_dashboard, get_content_history, get_content_run_detail) share a common prefix and suffix pattern. Naming is predictable and unambiguous.
Tool Count3/5With 33 tools, the server is on the heavier side. While each tool serves a distinct purpose within the broad domain of competitive intelligence, the number exceeds the typical well-scoped range (3-15) and falls into the heavy category (25+). However, the scope is broad, so it is borderline but not extreme.
Completeness4/5The tool surface covers the five monitoring dimensions comprehensively with dashboard, history, and run detail for each. Additional scanning and generic tools extend functionality. Minor gaps exist: there are no tools to create/update/delete projects or competitors, nor to trigger monitoring runs (only ad-hoc scans). These are workable for an agent focused on retrieval.
Average 4.3/5 across 33 of 33 tools scored.

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?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears the full burden. It declares the tool is 'Read-only' and describes the return structure. However, it lacks disclosure of potential side effects, permissions, or rate limits. The prerequisite linkage adds some transparency, but overall behavioral details are minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description consists of four sentences, each serving a distinct purpose: purpose, comparison, usage, prerequisite, read-only note, and return type. It is front-loaded with the main purpose. The phrase 'Returns JSON object' is slightly redundant, but overall the description is 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 no output schema, the description references 'the same data structure as get_pricing_dashboard', which is helpful if the agent knows that structure. However, it does not detail the specific fields or any limits. For a tool with only two parameters and a defined use case, this is moderately complete but leaves some gaps for an agent unfamiliar with the dashboard 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 already covers both parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). The description adds only the context that 'runId' comes from 'get_pricing_history', which is already in the schema description. Thus, the description provides marginal additional meaning beyond 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 clearly states the tool retrieves 'full competitor-by-competitor Pricing Intelligence data for a specific historical run', specifying the verb, resource, and scope. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling 'get_pricing_dashboard' by noting it returns the same structure for a past point in time, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly advises to 'use this to investigate pricing changes between runs or audit a specific monitoring cycle' and notes the prerequisite 'Requires runId from get_pricing_history.' It does not explicitly state when not to use it, but the comparison with 'get_pricing_dashboard' implies it is for historical data rather than current. This provides clear context for usage.
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 bears full responsibility. It only notes 'Read-only' and 'Returns JSON object.' Lacks details on authentication, rate limits, or idempotency. Minimal behavioral disclosure.
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?
Two concise sentences with front-loaded key details. No wasted words. Highly efficient.
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 no output schema, the description adequately mentions return object contents. Could be more thorough about the exact structure, but sufficient for a simple get 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?
Schema coverage is 100% (projectId with description). The tool description adds no new parameter information beyond what is already in the schema. Baseline of 3 applies.
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 action ('Get project details') and specifies the contained information (per-dimension freshness, AI monitoring prompts, status). It distinguishes itself from sibling dimension-specific tools by being the main project detail endpoint.
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?
Explicitly advises to use after list_projects and before fetching dimension data, providing clear workflow guidance. Does not explicitly mention when not to use, but the context is sufficient.
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 mark it as readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description confirms 'Read-only' and 'Returns JSON object' but adds limited behavioral detail beyond safety hints, such as rate limits or output complexity.
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 two sentences, front-loaded with the tool's purpose and key features. Every sentence adds value without 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?
The description covers the tool's core functionality and scope. Without an output schema, it mentions 'Returns JSON object,' which is sufficient for an agent. More detail on output structure could improve completeness, but it is not missing critical information.
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 the schema already documents both parameters. The description adds overall context (e.g., categorizes by section) but does not provide parameter-specific meaning beyond what is in 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 clearly states the tool performs live sitemap analysis, discovering URLs and identifying content gaps and depth. It uses specific verbs and resources, distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_content_dashboard or check_ai_crawlers.
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?
The description states it works on any public domain without project setup, providing clear context for use. It does not explicitly exclude private domains or mention alternatives, but the scope is well-defined.
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 'Read-only' and 'Returns JSON object', missing details like auth requirements, rate limits, or whether it modifies state. The note about same structure as another tool is helpful but insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with 4 sentences, front-loaded with purpose and outputs. No redundant information; every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description outlines the key returned data (rankings, scores, per-provider) and references another tool's data structure for clarity. With only 2 parameters, it covers the essential 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 coverage is 100%, but the description adds context beyond the schema by stating 'Uses checkId (not runId)' and re-emphasizing where to get the IDs. This adds meaning for proper invocation.
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 'Get full detail for a specific AI Visibility check' with specific outputs (rankings, rates, scores, per-provider). It distinguishes from sibling get_ai_visibility_dashboard by noting 'for a past point in time'.
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?
The description explicitly tells where to get checkId values (from get_ai_visibility_history) and notes it uses checkId not runId. It states it is read-only. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this versus alternatives or when not to.
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?
Declares read-only status and describes pagination behavior with hasMore flag. No annotations provided, so description partially covers transparency. Missing rate limits or authentication details.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three efficient sentences: action, usage motivation, and drill-down direction. No fluff.

Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no output schema, description specifies return type (JSON array, pagination.hasMore) and references sibling. Could mention error handling but adequate for a list 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?
Schema covers all 3 parameters with descriptions. Description adds no extra meaning beyond schema, baseline score applies.
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 verb 'Get', resource 'pagination history of Positioning monitoring runs with completion timestamps', and distinguishes from sibling tool get_positioning_run_detail.
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?

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?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It mentions 'Read-only' and pagination with hasMore flag, but does not disclose permission requirements or rate limits, which are important for a read operation.
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?
Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no unnecessary words or redundancy. Very concise.
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?
No output schema, so description compensates by mentioning paginated JSON array with hasMore flag, but lacks explicit item fields. However, references to get_pricing_run_detail fill the gap for details.
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 description adds minimal value beyond what schema already documents. It links runId to another tool but does not enhance parameter understanding.
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 retrieves a paginated history of Pricing Intelligence monitoring runs with completion timestamps, distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_pricing_dashboard and get_pricing_run_detail.

Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Retrieve' and the resource 'status or full results of a tech-stack scan'. It specifies the key input (scanId) and differentiates from sibling tools by focusing on tech-stack scans. It also describes both running and completed states, and the partial detection scenario, leaving no ambiguity.
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 implies usage for retrieving tech-stack scan results, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like other scanning tools. It provides a recommended poll interval, which is helpful, but lacks when-not-to-use guidance or explicit sibling differentiation.
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?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the tool is read-only, returns a paginated JSON array with a hasMore flag, and that alerts include change diffs and action hints. This provides solid behavioral context beyond the schema. It could mention error handling or caching, but overall it is transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then critical behavioral detail. Every sentence earns its place; no fluff.
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?
No output schema, but description adequately covers return fields (body, headers, cleanStats). It mentions failure mode. Lacks explicit error handling details but sufficient for a fetch 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?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining cleanHtml's purpose (token-cost win) and headersAvailable flag, exceeding schema info.
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 fetches URLs with automatic JS-rendering and bot-protection handling. It distinguishes itself from siblings (e.g., check_ai_crawlers, get_tech_stack_scan) by being a generic fetcher, not domain-specific.
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?
The description implies usage for general URL fetching with JS rendering, but does not explicitly state when not to use or compare to alternatives. However, siblings are all different domains, so context is clear.
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?
With no annotations, the description compensates by explicitly stating 'Read-only' (no side effects) and 'Returns JSON object' (output type). This provides sufficient behavioral transparency for an agent to understand the tool's safety profile and output format.
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 two sentences, immediately front-loading the purpose and key details. Every sentence adds value: first defines function, second gives usage context and behavioral notes. No extraneous words.
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 no output schema, the description states 'Returns JSON object', which is minimal but acceptable for a retrieval tool. It covers required parameters (projectId, competitorId) and output contents (monitored pages, configuration). Could mention potential errors or size, but for a single-object getter, it's adequate.
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?
Input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds context beyond the schema by explaining that competitorId is obtained from list_competitors and that returned details include 'monitored pages' (homepage and pricing page URLs) and configuration, giving semantic meaning to the output fields.
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 'Get competitor details' and specifies included fields (monitored pages with homepage/pricing URLs, configuration). Distinguishes from sibling list_competitors by noting it provides metadata beyond what list_competitors offers, with an example (finding tracked URLs).
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 ('when you need specific competitor metadata beyond what list_competitors provides') and provides a prerequisite ('Requires competitorId from list_competitors'). This gives clear guidance on context and alternatives.
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?
With no annotations, the description fully covers behavioral traits: it explains null values for securityGrade/securityScore and the 'unscannable' case with behavioral protection, and declares read-only and JSON output.
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?
The description is moderately long but well-structured, front-loading the main purpose and then detailing returned data. Every sentence adds value, though it could be slightly more concise without losing information.
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 no output schema, the description thoroughly explains the comprehensive return data (various signals, categories) and edge cases. It provides enough context for an AI agent to use the tool correctly.
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 single parameter (projectId) has full schema description coverage (100%), so the description does not need to add much. It mentions 'Project ID (from list_projects)' in the schema, which is sufficient. The description does not elaborate further, but given the simple parameter, this is adequate.
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 returns the latest Tech & Trust Profile for all competitors, listing specific data categories (security headers, trust signals, tech stack, etc.). It distinguishes from the sibling 'get_tech_trust_history' by specifying 'current snapshot vs. past runs'.
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?
The description explicitly says 'Use this for the current snapshot; use get_tech_trust_history for past runs,' providing clear when-to-use guidance and a direct alternative. It also states 'Read-only,' indicating safe 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?
The description discloses important behavioral traits beyond annotations: special handling for bot-protected targets, neutral scoring, and a counter rename from n8nCalls. No contradiction with readOnlyHint and openWorldHint 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 concise with five sentences, each serving a distinct purpose: purpose, runtime behavior, exception details, counter rename, and polling recommendation. It is front-loaded with the most critical information.
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 the tool's complexity (multiple states, exception handling, counter rename), the description covers all necessary context without an output schema. It explains what the tool returns and how to use it effectively.
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 fully describes scanId (pattern, description). The description adds useful context that scanId comes from start_agent_adoption_scan, linking the tools and clarifying origin. With 100% schema coverage, this additional context elevates the score above 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 tool retrieves status or full results of an Agent-Adoption Check by scanId. It uses a specific verb ('retrieve') and identifies the resource, differentiating from sibling tools like get_ai_visibility_check_detail or start_agent_adoption_scan.
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?
The description provides explicit context for usage: it returns status while running and complete results when finished, and recommends a polling interval of 5-10 seconds. It implies when to use (after starting a scan) but does not explicitly exclude other scenarios.
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?
Annotations already indicate non-read and open-world behavior. Description adds async nature, immediate scanId return, record creation, and typical timing, providing rich behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with key information, no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
