Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.15.4
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose, with detailed descriptions that prevent confusion. Even similar-sounding tools like anilist_pick, anilist_explain, and anilist_session are well-differentiated by their specific use cases.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent 'anilist_' prefix with snake_case names that clearly describe the action, e.g., anilist_search, anilist_add_to_list, anilist_delete_from_list. No mixing of conventions.
Tool Count3/555 tools is on the high side for a single server, covering many specialized actions like card generation and analysis. While each tool serves a valid purpose, the count could be reduced by consolidating some card-generation tools without losing clarity.
Completeness5/5The server covers an extensive range of AniList functionality: search, list management, user profiles, schedules, statistics, social features, recommendations, and even imports from other services. The inclusion of an undo operation and various analysis tools makes the surface very complete.
Average 4.2/5 across 55 of 55 tools scored. Lowest: 3.2/5.

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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows it's a safe read. The description adds minor behavioral context (returns numbered entries with author/date/content) but does not disclose significant traits beyond annotations. No contradictions.
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 at four sentences, front-loads the purpose, and covers key features without redundancy. A minor improvement could be combining the last two sentences ('Supports pagination and type filtering') into one, but overall effective.
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 simplicity (4 params, no output schema), the description adequately summarizes input behavior (feed type, pagination) and output format (numbered entries). It does not cover edge cases or error handling, but these are less critical for a read-only feed 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?
All four parameters have descriptions in the input schema (100% coverage), so the description mainly restates features like pagination and type filtering. It adds no new semantic details beyond what the schema provides, placing it at the baseline for high schema coverage.
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 retrieves recent activity from a user's AniList feed, specifying content types (text posts, list updates) and output format. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like anilist_activity, which may 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 lacks any guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., anilist_activity, anilist_list). There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or contextual hints for selection among siblings.
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 states 'View', which aligns with readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true annotations. It adds specific return fields (bio, stats, favourites, account age) beyond annotations. However, it does not disclose any limitations or edge cases, but given the simple read operation, this is sufficient.
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 a single sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and output. It is front-loaded with the action and resource, with no unnecessary 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?
For a single-parameter, read-only tool with no output schema, the description provides a clear list of return items. It is complete enough for an AI agent to understand what data to expect. Minor improvement could be to mention error cases (e.g., non-existent user), but not required.
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 describes the 'username' parameter with its fallback behavior. The description does not add new information about the parameter. Since schema coverage is 100%, baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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's purpose: 'View a user's AniList profile' and lists the specific data it returns (bio, stats, favourites, account age). It uses a specific verb and resource, making it easy to understand what the 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 Guidelines2/5Does 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 compared to alternatives. It does not mention when not to use it or differentiate from sibling tools like anilist_details or anilist_list. Usage context is absent.
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 declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds that it uses historical pace and returns an estimated date, which is consistent. No contradictions or additional behavioral insights beyond what annotations provide.
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?
Two sentences: first defines the tool, second gives usage scenarios and return value. No filler, front-loaded. Could be slightly more structured but efficient for the information conveyed.
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 3 optional parameters and no output schema, the description explains the return value (estimated completion date) and usage context. It is complete enough for a pace estimation tool, though it doesn't detail behavior when mediaId is omitted for all titles.
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 all parameters described. The description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema; it reiterates the purpose. Baseline of 3 is appropriate as the schema handles parameter documentation.
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 uses a specific verb 'estimate' and resource 'pace', clearly stating it returns a completion date based on historical pace. It distinguishes from siblings like 'anilist_list' or 'anilist_update_progress' by focusing on time estimation.
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 says when to use: 'when the user asks how long it'll take to finish something, their watch rate, or wants a progress summary.' It implies it's for currently watching/reading titles. It does not mention when not to use, but the guidance is clear and helpful.
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 indicate destructiveHint=true (non-idempotent write), and the description adds only that it creates an activity and requires authentication. The added behavioral insight beyond annotations is minimal, hence score 3.
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 short sentences with no excess verbiage. The description is front-loaded with the primary action and usage context, every word earns its place.
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 a simple tool with one parameter (fully described in schema) and annotations present, the description covers purpose, usage, and authentication. It could optionally mention the response format, but it's not critical. Overall, sufficiently complete.
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 clear description for the 'text' parameter. The description adds context about the content (status update, thought, message) but does not significantly enhance the schema's meaning, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 verb (Post) and resource (text activity to AniList feed), and it distinguishes itself from sibling tools (e.g., list management, search). The phrase 'status update, thought, or message' provides specific use cases.
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 says 'Use when the user wants to share a status update, thought, or message' and mentions the required token, providing clear guidance on when to use. It lacks explicit when-not or alternative tools, 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 declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that results include appearances, roles, and voice actors, which is helpful but does not elaborate on pagination or other behavioral traits.
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 with no fluff: first sentence states purpose and usage, second sentence describes output. Highly efficient and front-loaded.
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 100% schema coverage and no output schema, the description explains return values (appearances, roles, voice actors) and usage context. Pagination details are in the schema, so the description is sufficiently complete.
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?

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 it searches for anime/manga characters by name, with specific use cases like finding series appearances or voice actors. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like anilist_search or anilist_staff_search.
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 clear when-to-use scenarios (user asks about a specific character, series appearances, voice actors). It lacks explicit when-not-to-use, but the context of siblings implies appropriateness.
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 provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds that it returns status, score, progress, and dates, which is helpful but not beyond what the schema implies. It does not disclose any additional behavioral traits like rate limits or authentication.
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, no wasted words. Front-loaded with the core action and usage prompts.
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 presence of annotations and full schema coverage, the description provides sufficient context for a lookup tool. It mentions what is returned, though it doesn't explain fallback behavior for username (handled by schema).
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 adds no further parameter meaning beyond summarizing the purpose; it does not provide examples or explain the relationship between mediaId and title.
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 specifies the verb 'check' and 'show', the resource 'title on a user's list', and the outcome 'status, score, progress, and dates'. It distinguishes from the sibling 'anilist_list' by noting it avoids fetching the full list.
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 tells when to use: when user asks 'is this on my list?', 'have I seen this?', or wants to check progress/score for a single title. It implies the alternative is the full list tool but does not name it directly.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and destructiveHint, so description adds value by stating return content (date/countdown and schedule). No contradictions.
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?

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 parameter descriptions. Description repeats the studio name example but adds no new semantics beyond what is in the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 verb 'Search', resource 'animation studio', and provides concrete examples. It distinguishes itself from general search and staff search by focusing on studios and their productions.
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 tells when to use: 'Use when the user asks about a studio like MAPPA, Kyoto Animation, or Bones.' It implies when not to use (general anime search) but does not explicitly list alternative tools.
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?
Annotations already indicate destructive action, but the description adds value by explaining default dry-run mode ('preview only') and the need for ANILIST_TOKEN. No contradictions 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Four sentences, front-loaded with purpose and usage examples. No redundant or missing information. Every sentence earns its place.
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?
The tool is complex with nested filters and actions, and no output schema is provided. The description mentions preview changes but does not explain the response format, which is a notable gap.
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 high (all parameters have descriptions in the schema), so baseline is 3. The tool description does not add parameter-level detail beyond examples, but the schema is clear.
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 verb ('Apply a bulk action') and resource ('multiple list entries matching a filter'), with concrete examples like moving low-scored titles to Dropped. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on batch operations.

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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description adds useful context about output formats and username fallback. It does not contradict annotations and provides sufficient behavioral detail 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?
Two sentences, no fluff. The first sentence states purpose and output, the second provides usage guidance. Front-loaded and 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?
The description covers purpose and usage but omits how the exported data is returned (e.g., file download, text response) and potential limitations (e.g., list size). Given no output schema, this gap reduces completeness.
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 has 100% description coverage for all four parameters. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema, only restating the fallback behavior for username and the CSV/JSON formats. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 the verb 'export', the resource 'user's anime or manga list', and the output formats 'CSV or JSON'. It also clarifies the purpose 'backup or migration'. This is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools like imports or list viewing.

Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes a clear usage condition: 'Use when the user wants to download, back up, or transfer their list data.' It does not mention alternatives or when not to use, but given no sibling tool overlaps, this is adequate.
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 indicate readOnlyHint=true, making the tool safe. The description adds that it supports common abbreviations and returns a ranked list with specific fields. No additional behavioral constraints (e.g., rate limits) are mentioned, but annotations cover the safety profile.
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 (three sentences) and front-loaded with purpose, then usage, then return info. Every sentence adds 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?
No output schema exists, but the description explicitly lists all returned fields: title, format, year, score, genres, episode count, studios, and URL. This fully explains what the tool provides for a search operation.
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?

Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit use case scenarios: 'Use when the user wants to find an anime/manga by name, discover titles in a genre, or find what aired in a specific year.' It does not mention when not to use or exclude alternatives, but the context is clear.
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 declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the description does not need to repeat that. It adds value by listing the returned statistics but does not disclose any additional behavioral traits like rate limits or authentication requirements. The description is adequate but not exceptional.
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 convey purpose, usage, and return data without unnecessary words. The structure is front-loaded and efficient.
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 simplicity of the tool (one optional parameter, no output schema), the description fully explains the return values: title count, mean score, episodes/chapters, top genres, score distribution chart, and format breakdown. No gaps remain.
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 only parameter (username) is fully described in the input schema (100% coverage), including fallback behavior. The tool description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use: 'Use when the user asks about a specific title and wants synopsis, score, episodes, studios, related works, and recommendations.' However, it does not mention when not to use or alternative tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
