Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose, from alignment analysis to task management to MLX integration. Descriptions are detailed and sets of actions are well-defined within each tool, minimizing overlap.
Naming Consistency4/5Names are consistently lowercase with underscores, but some are verbs (e.g., 'lint', 'recommend') while others are nouns (e.g., 'memory', 'security'), creating slight inconsistency. However, the pattern is predictable and readable.
Tool Count3/527 tools is slightly heavy but within reason for a comprehensive development assistant. The 'unified' approach consolidates many actions per tool, justifying the count, though some tools like 'automation' lack description.
Completeness4/5The tool surface covers a wide range: task management, testing, security, AI integration, memory, reporting, and more. Minor gaps like lack of direct code generation or explicit version control are offset by related tools like linting, testing, and git-inspired task management.
Average 3.3/5 across 27 of 27 tools scored. Lowest: 1/5.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.
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
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Tool has no description.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness1/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Tool has no description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Tool has no description.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose1/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Tool has no description.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Tool has no description.
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, the description carries full burden but provides minimal behavioral insight. It mentions scanning and modifying files but does not disclose side effects, permissions, or what happens to files, which is critical for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise (one sentence) but severely under-specified. While brevity is valued, it sacrifices clarity and completeness, leaving many necessary questions unanswered.
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 presence of an output schema and three parameters, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the tool's functionality, how files are selected, or the impact of parameters, which is needed for effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to the parameters (dry_run, output_path, min_file_size). The agent cannot infer their purpose or behavior from the description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Tool hints. Files scanned, modified, hints added.' is vague and lacks a clear verb-resource structure. It does not specify what 'hints' are or how they are added, and fails to distinguish the tool from numerous sibling tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does 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 gives no context for appropriate usage, exclusions, or prerequisites.
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 provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It does not disclose side effects (e.g., data modification in merge/set_branch), state changes, or authorization needs. Only action names are listed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is relatively concise but repeats 'Unified git-inspired' and includes a potentially confusing HINT line. The action list is structured but lacks explanatory context.
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 complexity (16 params, multiple actions, no schema descriptions), the description is insufficient. It does not explain how actions differ, what parameters are required for each, or expected outcomes. An output schema exists but is not referenced.
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?
Schema coverage is 0%, yet the description adds little meaning to the 16 parameters. It only mentions some parameters briefly in action descriptions (e.g., task_id, branch for commits). Most parameters like limit, format, commit1, commit2, conflict_strategy are unexplained.
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 it is a 'unified git-inspired task management tool' with actions like commits, branches, tasks, etc. The purpose is somewhat clear but broad, as it bundles multiple operations. It does not distinguish itself from sibling tools, which include many task-related tools.
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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lists actions but does not explain scenarios for each, leaving the agent without context for selection.
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 must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention side effects, mutability, authentication, rate limits, or resource consumption for actions like 'pull' or 'generate'. The deep behavior remains opaque.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is reasonably concise, using a hint and bullet list. However, the structure could be improved by grouping parameters by action or providing a more logical flow. It is not wasteful but lacks clarity for complex usage.
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 (8 actions, 15 parameters, output schema present), the description is incomplete. It does not explain how to use parameters, what the output looks like, or provide examples. The agent would struggle to use all features correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 15 parameters with no descriptions (0% coverage). The tool description does not explain any parameter's role or how it relates to the listed actions. The agent receives no semantic help beyond parameter names like 'host' or 'stream'.
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 lists eight distinct actions with one-line descriptions, each specifying a verb and resource (e.g., 'Check if Ollama server is running'). However, the 'unified' nature makes the tool's singular purpose somewhat broad, and it does not distinguish itself from sibling tools like 'mlx'.
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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description fails to mention prerequisites (e.g., Ollama running) or suggest which action to use in specific scenarios. Sibling tools are listed but not differentiated.
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, the description must reveal behavioral traits. It mentions GPU acceleration but omits side effects, installation requirements, read-only versus write behavior, or error conditions. For example, the 'generate' action likely modifies local state, but this is not disclosed.
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 short, uses bullet points for actions, and front-loads the tool's purpose. However, the opening HINT line adds minimal value and could be removed to improve conciseness.
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 has 6 parameters, multiple actions, and an output schema, the description is insufficient. It fails to explain when to use each action, how output looks, or dependencies. A more complete description would clarify parameter roles and output format.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain all parameters. It only documents the 'action' parameter (listing its four possible values). The other five parameters (prompt, model, max_tokens, temperature, verbose) receive no explanation, leaving the agent unable to determine their purpose or constraints.
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 it is a unified MLX tool for Apple Silicon GPU acceleration and enumerates four actions (status, hardware, models, generate). This provides a specific verb-resource mapping and distinguishes it from sibling tools like ollama or git_tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives among the 27 sibling tools. No when-not-to-use instructions or context for choosing specific actions are given.
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?
The description explicitly notes the side effect of creating a file when 'output_path' is specified, which is good for a tool with no annotations. However, it does not disclose other behavioral traits such as whether the tool modifies existing files or requires specific permissions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is mostly concise and uses bullet points and emojis for clarity. However, it repeats the action list in the hint and then again in bullets, which is redundant. The structure could be tighter.
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 high parameter count (14) and zero schema descriptions, the description is insufficient. It covers actions but not the many optional parameters. The existence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return values, but the description still lacks completeness for parameter semantics.
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?
With 0% schema coverage and 14 parameters, the description only explains the 'action' parameter via the bulleted list. Other parameters like scores, include_booleans, and project_name are not explained, leaving gaps that the schema does not fill.
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 states it is for 'Unified report generation' and lists specific actions (overview, scorecard, briefing, prd), making the purpose clear. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'health' or 'analyze_alignment', which might have overlapping functionality.
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 lists four actions but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or comparison with sibling tools, leaving the agent to infer usage context.
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?
The description discloses key behaviors: two modes, auto-fix capability, and output type. However, it lacks details on error handling, default behavior when parameters are omitted, and how analyze mode processes the problems JSON. No annotations are provided to compensate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is structured with bullet points and emojis but is verbose and includes informal 'HINT' formatting. It could be more concise while retaining clarity.
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 10 parameters, no schema coverage, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not fully explain all parameters or the output structure despite an output schema existing. Key behavioral details are missing.
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?
With 0% schema coverage, the description should explain all 10 parameters. It only covers action, fix, and mentions problems_json. Parameters like select, ignore, include_hints, output_path, and the analyze boolean are not described, leaving significant gaps.
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 identifies the tool as a linting tool with two distinct actions (run and analyze). It specifies the linter (ruff/flake8) and side effects (auto-fix). Among sibling tools, none are lint-related, so it stands out.
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, or when to choose run vs analyze. The description only hints at the action parameter without explaining selection criteria.
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?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It mentions output (installation status) and side effect (installs hooks unless dry_run=True). However, it does not detail file system changes, permissions, or reversibility.
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 reasonably concise with a hint, bullet list, and emoji indicators. It front-loads the purpose but includes some redundancy (e.g., 'Unified hooks setup' repeated).
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 six parameters, no annotations, and no schema descriptions, the description is insufficient. It omits details on 'hooks' array, 'patterns' string, 'config_path', and 'install' parameter behavior. Output is vaguely described.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so description must explain parameters. It only explains 'action' (git/patterns) and mentions 'dry_run'. The other four parameters (hooks, patterns, config_path, install) are not described, leaving significant ambiguity.
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 it installs automation hooks and categorizes into git hooks and pattern triggers via action parameter. It distinguishes between two main use cases but does not differentiate from sibling tools like git_tools or automation.
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 via action parameter values ('git' vs 'patterns') but provides no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance relative to other tools. No alternatives are mentioned.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the side effect of potentially creating Todo2 tasks via create_tasks. However, it does not mention other behavioral traits like permissions, rate limits, or whether it modifies files (beyond creating tasks).
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 reasonably concise, using bullet points and emojis for clarity. It front-loads the main purpose and actions. Minor clutter from the hint line and emojis, but overall efficient.
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?
The tool has an output schema (not shown) and 6 params. The description covers only one action parameter. While output schema may document return values, the lack of parameter descriptions and limited behavioral context (e.g., no mention of file_patterns filtering) makes it incomplete for proper tool selection.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must fill the gap. It only explains the 'action' parameter and its values. The other 5 parameters (file_patterns, include_fixme, doc_path, output_path, create_tasks) are not described, leaving the agent without guidance on their meaning or usage.
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 discovers tasks from various sources (comments, markdown, orphans, all). It explains each action, making the purpose specific. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like task_analysis or task_workflow, though the actions imply a unique discovery 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?
The description lists the actions and their sources, giving implied usage context. It does not provide explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor does it mention alternatives. The hint at the start is somewhat generic.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses return values (AGENT/ASK/MANUAL with confidence) and implies a read-only operation via 'infer'. However, it does not explain how tool patterns are used, potential side effects, or authorization requirements, leaving gaps.
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 concise (two sentences plus a hint) with no wasted words. The hint line may be extraneous, but overall it is efficiently structured and front-loaded with the key purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, clear output schema), the description covers the basic purpose. However, it lacks context on how tool patterns are derived, confidence interpretation, and when to use the force_recompute parameter, leaving it partially incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a single boolean parameter 'force_recompute' described in the schema. The description adds no additional information about this parameter, so it meets the baseline but does not enhance understanding beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool infers session mode and returns AGENT/ASK/MANUAL with confidence. It uses a specific verb-resource pair ('infer current session mode') and distinguishes from siblings like 'session' or 'workflow_mode' by focusing on inference from tool patterns, though not explicitly compared.
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 like 'session' or 'workflow_mode'. The description does not mention prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent without decision support for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description explicitly states 'Side Effects: None (read-only)', which is good transparency given no annotations. It also describes the output format. However, it does not mention potential rate limits or dependencies on external services like Dependabot API.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is structured with bullet points and emojis, making it readable. However, it includes a redundant hint line and could be more concise. It is adequate but not optimal.
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 7 parameters and an output schema, the description fails to explain which parameters apply to which actions, offers no examples, and does not cover edge cases. The output format is described, but parameter usage is largely absent.
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?
With 0% schema coverage, the description only clarifies the 'action' parameter's three values. It does not explain the purpose or usage of the other six parameters (repo, languages, config_path, state, include_dismissed, alert_critical), leaving a significant gap.
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 it's a unified security analysis tool with three actions (scan, alerts, report) and specifies what each does. It differentiates from sibling 'report' by calling it a combined security report, but could be more explicit about when to use this vs the 'report' sibling.
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?

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?
With no annotations, the description partially discloses behavioral traits like side effects ('Creates tasks for docs action') and output format. However, it lacks details on destructive actions, authorization, or rate limits.
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 concise, front-loaded with a HINT, and uses bullet points for action options. Every sentence adds value, though the emoji and formatting could be streamlined for machine parsing.
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 10 parameters and 0% schema coverage, the description fails to cover most parameters. The output schema exists, but the description does not leverage it. The tool's purpose is clear, but parameter details are insufficient.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description only explains the 'action' parameter's values. The other 9 parameters (agent_name, check_remote, etc.) are not described, leaving the agent uninformed about their usage.
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 defines the tool as a unified health check with specific actions (server, git, docs, dod, cicd). It uses a specific verb ('check') and resource ('health status/metrics'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like automation or context.
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 health checking but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Sibling tools are not mentioned, and no criteria like 'use this before running other tools' are given.
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, and the description fails to disclose behavioral traits such as side effects, state changes, or authentication requirements. For example, it doesn't clarify if 'prime' modifies session state or if 'handoff' requires multi-device coordination details.
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 reasonably concise with a short introductory sentence and a bulleted list of actions. The initial '[HINT: ...]' adds minor noise but does not significantly detract from structure.
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 high parameter count (25), zero schema coverage, and no output schema usage, the description is incomplete. It fails to map parameters to actions, provide examples, or explain behavior for the majority of inputs.
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?

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 lists four specific actions with brief explanations, providing clear context for when to use each. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives.
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?
The description discloses side effects (creates compliance report and optional Todo2 tasks), typical runtime (1-3 seconds), and output format (score, status, issues). Since no annotations are provided, this transparency is valuable.
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 concise with a clear structure: hint, bullet list of checks, and a final line with output, side effects, and runtime. 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 the tool's complexity and lack of annotations, the description covers purpose, checks, output, side effects, and runtime. An output schema is not provided but the description sufficiently explains return values.
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% and both parameters have clear descriptions including defaults. The tool description adds no additional parameter information beyond what the schema already provides, meeting the baseline but not exceeding it.
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 checks attribution compliance across the codebase and lists specific checks (missing attribution, missing entries, uncredited references, dependency license compliance). However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like analyze_alignment or security.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as lint or security. The description only states what the tool does, without context on prerequisites, scenarios, or when not to use it.
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 carries full burden. It discloses side effects (creates/updates config files) and mentions dry_run to avoid side effects. However, it does not detail whether overwriting occurs by default or other destructive potential, though the overwrite parameter exists. Still, it provides useful behavioral context beyond the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is moderately concise but includes unnecessary formatting (emojis, markdown headers, bold) and some redundancy. It front-loads the purpose but could be streamlined. It earns its keep but has some extraneous elements.
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 9 parameters, 0% schema coverage, and no annotations, the description is inadequate. It covers only two parameters and the output type, leaving major gaps in understanding required inputs. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for missing parameter explanations.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains only the 'action' and 'dry_run' parameters, leaving 7 other parameters (e.g., rules, overwrite, analyze_only) undocumented. This is insufficient for an agent to understand how to use the tool correctly.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it generates IDE config files and lists three specific actions (rules, ignore, simplify) with distinct outputs. This makes the tool's purpose specific and distinguishable from siblings, as no other tool in the sibling list performs config generation.
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 includes a hint about action values and briefly mentions outcomes for each, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or provide exclusion criteria. The sibling list is large, but no direct competitor is named; usage guidance is 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.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses side effects for log action (writes to disk) and output types, but does not fully describe analyze action's behavior or potential side effects. With no annotations, this is a moderate disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is 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.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 7 parameters and no schema descriptions, the description fails to cover most parameters. Output description is vague ('log confirmation or iteration statistics'). Missing details on return format and parameter constraints.
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?
Schema has 0% description coverage, so description must explain parameters. Only action and prompt are explained; task_id, mode, outcome, iteration, days are left undocumented, leaving significant ambiguity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states purpose with specific verbs (log, analyze) and resource (prompt tracking). It differentiates two actions effectively, and sibling tools do not overlap.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides clear context for each action (log vs analyze), but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tool references.
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 carries full burden. It discloses side effects: 'Modifies tasks (duplicates with auto_fix, tags without dry_run)'. However, it does not mention other potential behaviors like file writing via output_path or performance impacts.
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 relatively concise with clear bullet points. The HINT line is slightly redundant but not harmful. Emojis add visual cues. Could be slightly more structured but overall efficient.
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 9 parameters, no schema descriptions, and no annotations, the description covers actions and side effects but lacks parameter details. The presence of an output schema (not shown) may partially fill the return-value gap, but the tool remains incomplete without parameter explanations.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It only briefly mentions 'action' and hints at auto_fix/dry_run in side effects. The other 7 parameters (similarity_threshold, custom_rules, remove_tags, etc.) are entirely unexplained.
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?

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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like task_discovery, task_workflow, or other siblings. The description implies usage through listed actions but does not provide criteria for tool selection.
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?
The description mentions side effects: 'Modifies memories (gc/prune/consolidate with dry_run=False)'. It also hints at the dry_run parameter. However, it does not cover other behavioral traits such as rate limits, authentication requirements, or idempotency. Given no annotations, the burden is partially met but could be more comprehensive.
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 structured with a hint line, an overview, and bullet points for actions and output/side effects. It front-loads the purpose. However, some redundancy exists (e.g., the hint line restates the actions) and the emoji decorations add little value.
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 15 parameters, no output schema (though hinted at 'Maintenance results with recommendations'), and no annotations, the description is inadequate. It focuses on the action parameter but neglects the majority of other parameters that control the behavior. The agent likely needs more detailed parameter documentation to use the tool effectively.
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?
With 0% schema coverage and 15 parameters, the description only explains the 'action' parameter in detail. It mentions 'dry_run' indirectly in the side effects note, but other parameters (max_age_days, value_threshold, etc.) are not explained at all. This is insufficient for an agent to understand how to set them.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'Unified memory maintenance' and enumerates five distinct actions (health, gc, prune, consolidate, dream), each with a clear purpose. This clearly differentiates the tool from siblings like 'memory' or 'health' by focusing on lifecycle management.
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?
Each action is described with a brief explanation of when to use it (e.g., 'health' for metrics, 'gc' for garbage collection). However, no explicit guidance is given for when NOT to use the tool or alternatives, though the action descriptions imply usage scenarios.
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?
The description explicitly states 'Side Effects: None' and 'Typical Runtime: <10ms', adding behavioral context beyond the absent annotations. It also describes the output format, though it could elaborate on action-specific behaviors.
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?

- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description bears full burden. It discloses actions, output nature ('Estimation results based on action'), typical runtime (e.g., 'estimate: <1 second'), and MLX enhancement details ('30-40% better accuracy'). It does not mention destructive actions, auth needs, or errors, but the provided behavioral info is sufficient for a read-like tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is somewhat structured with a hint, a paragraph, and bullet points, but it includes redundant phrasing (e.g., repeated 'Unified task duration estimation tool') and the hint is unnecessary. It could be more concise while maintaining clarity.
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 10 parameters (0 required), no annotations, and existence of an output schema, the description provides the overall purpose and action modes but lacks details on return format, error handling, or how to properly invoke each action. The output schema likely compensates for return values, but the description could be more complete for a multi-action 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?

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description fully discloses behavioral traits: side effects ('Creates tasks/reports based on action'), typical runtime ('<5 seconds'), and output format ('Alignment scores, misaligned items, recommendations'). This exceeds the burden of disclosure.
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 concise and front-loaded with a hint and action list. It uses emojis for readability, though it repeats 'Unified alignment analysis tool' twice. Overall, it efficiently communicates key 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 (3 optional parameters) and the presence of an output schema, the description adequately covers inputs, side effects, runtime, and output summary. No critical missing information is identified.
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%, and the description adds minimal value beyond the schema—it repeats action values and provides a side-effect hint. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema already documents each parameter thoroughly.
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 is a unified alignment analysis tool for Todo2 and PRD. It specifies two distinct actions ('todo2' for task alignment, 'prd' for PRD alignment), providing a specific verb and resource. This differentiates it from sibling tools like task_analysis or context.
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 explains when to use each action within the tool ('todo2' for task alignment, 'prd' for PRD alignment). However, it does not explicitly compare to sibling tools or state when not to use this tool, leaving some ambiguity about alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
