between

Calculate betweenness centrality to identify critical nodes in system architecture by analyzing shortest path flow through a specified node.

Instructions

Betweenness centrality for a node — what fraction of all shortest paths flow through it.

B3.1/5.0

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It explains the computation but lacks behavioral details such as performance characteristics (e.g., computational complexity for large graphs), error handling, or output format. This is a significant gap for a tool with no annotation coverage.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose and metric explanation. It is front-loaded with the core function and wastes no words, making it highly concise and well-structured.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given no annotations and no output schema, the description is minimal but covers the basic purpose. For a tool with 2 parameters and 100% schema coverage, it's adequate but lacks details on behavior and output, leaving gaps in completeness for effective agent use.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters ('source' and 'node'). The description adds no additional meaning about parameters beyond what the schema provides, such as format examples or constraints, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the tool computes 'betweenness centrality for a node' and explains the metric ('what fraction of all shortest paths flow through it'), which is specific and informative. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish this from sibling tools like 'distance' or 'trace' that might also involve path analysis, missing full differentiation.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'distance', 'trace', and 'analyze_system' that might involve graph or path analysis, there's no indication of context, prerequisites, or exclusions for using 'between'.

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