Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.6.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a distinct purpose with clear guidance on when to use and when not. 'build' is for complete planning and execution, 'run' is for executing existing plans, 'status' inspects tasks, 'list_projects' lists registered projects, and 'scan' registers new projects. The descriptions explicitly differentiate overlapping tools like 'build' and 'run'.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names use lowercase with snake_case for multi-word names (e.g., list_projects). They follow a consistent verb or verb_noun pattern (build, run, scan, status - 'status' is a noun but used as a command). No mixing of conventions.
Tool Count5/5Five tools cover the core workflow of project discovery, registration, status inspection, execution of plans, and full build from goal. The count is well-scoped for this domain without being too few or excessive.
Completeness4/5The tool surface covers registration (scan), listing (list_projects), status (status), execution (run), and full build from goal (build). A minor gap is the absence of a separate plan-only tool (though build can be used with dry_run for preview). No tool for updating or removing projects from the registry, but that may be out of scope.

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
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
While annotations already indicate readOnly and idempotent, the description adds 'calls no LLM' and confirms 'no side effects', enhancing transparency beyond structured fields.
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 well-structured and concise, front-loading the purpose and efficiently covering usage, side effects, and return value without redundancy.
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?
For a simple tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description fully covers behavior, usage constraints, and return value, leaving no gaps.
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 baseline is 3. The description does not add parameter-level details beyond what the schema provides, but the schema itself is sufficient.
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 'Show a project's tasks and their current state' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings by explicitly mentioning related tools and usage contexts.
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?
It provides explicit 'Use when' and 'Do NOT use when' conditions, including alternatives like 'scan' and 'list_projects', giving clear situational guidance.
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?
Describes destructive side effects (edits files, git commits, calls LLM) and refusal of second job, adding context beyond the annotations which already set destructiveHint=true.
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 very concise, with the purpose stated first, followed by usage guidelines and behavioral details, all in a few sentences without waste.
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 complexity of an async job with destructive effects, the description covers return values, error case (job already running), and side effects. The output schema is referenced but not detailed, which is acceptable.
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 provides a detailed description of the 'path' parameter, including examples and requirements. The tool description adds little extra meaning, so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage.
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 starts executing planned tasks in the background, using the verb 'Start' and resource 'project's planned tasks'. It also distinguishes from siblings like 'run' (synchronous) and 'build_async'.

It is fully self-contained for an agent to use correctly.
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% with descriptions for all 4 parameters. The description adds value by explaining the tie-breaking rule ('reject wins a tie — the safer default') and the semantic relationship between approve_all, approve_ids, and reject_ids. This goes beyond the schema descriptions, justifying a 4.
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: 'Set the approval flags on the proposed plan, then persist.' It identifies the resource (proposed plan) and verb (set flags and persist).

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?
Adds value beyond annotations: describes no side effects, read-only, no LLM calls, idempotent (same result on repeated calls). Annotations already had readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, but description expands.
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?

- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true. The description adds concrete behavioral details: 'reads only the project's .orchestrator artifacts, calls no LLM, and returns the same result on repeated calls (idempotent).' Also notes error handling when path is invalid. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

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% and the schema already describes the 'path' parameter well. The main description adds the error condition context ('Returns an error field instead when path is not an existing directory'), which provides additional meaning beyond the schema. Score 4 reflects this added value.
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 starts with a clear verb+resource: 'Return the latest build report, audit trail, and model performance.' It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'status' (live task states) and 'build'/'run' (produce a report), ensuring the agent knows exactly what this tool does.
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?
Explicit usage guidance: 'Use when: a build or run has finished... Do NOT use when: nothing has been built yet...' and names related tools ('status', 'build', 'run') as alternatives. This leaves no ambiguity about when to invoke.
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?

Given the tool simplicity (1 param, output schema exists), the description covers purpose, usage, side effects, and return value. It also references siblings and provides enough context for an agent to decide when to invoke.
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% for the single parameter. The description adds value by mentioning recursive search and the condition 'directories containing a project.yaml', which are not in the schema. Baseline is 3, and this extra context justifies a 4.
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 discovers and registers misterdev projects under a directory. It distinguishes itself from siblings by mentioning 'list_projects' and 'status' as related but different tools, providing a specific verb and resource.
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 provides when to use (before status/build/run) and when not to use (projects already registered, with reference to list_projects), and gives related alternatives. This is comprehensive guidance.
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?
Builds on annotations (destructiveHint=true, etc.) by detailing side effects: edits files, makes git commits, calls external LLM, refuses on dirty tree, dry_run preview, budget caps, max_tasks caps. No contradiction.
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?
Well-structured: front-loaded with core purpose, then usage guidelines, then behavioral notes, then return. Every sentence is informative with no redundancies.
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?
For a high-complexity tool (8 params, external LLM calls, destructive), the description covers purpose, guidelines, behavior, parameters, and return format. Completely adequate without gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds significant meaning beyond schema: explains mode words for goal, skips planning with spec_text, porting with reference_dir, budget halting, etc. Each parameter is enriched.
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 'Autonomously plan AND execute a goal in a project, from scratch.' with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like 'run' and 'status' by stating when not to use this tool.
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 says 'Use when:' and 'Do NOT use when:', naming alternatives (run, status) and conditions (dirty working tree). Also provides guidance for spec_text and reference_dir parameters.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
