Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Tools are clearly separated by format prefix (word_, excel_, pptx_) and generic tools have distinct names. Each tool targets a specific operation, and there is no ambiguity between them.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with format prefixes (e.g., word_add_paragraph, excel_read_sheet). Generic tools like convert_document and list_documents also adhere to this pattern. No mixing of conventions.
Tool Count4/5With 47 tools, the server covers three complex formats thoroughly. While high, it is justified by the need for separate create, read, update, delete, format, and export operations per format. Could be slightly trimmed but still reasonable.
Completeness4/5Basic CRUD operations are present for all formats, plus exports and formatting. Minor gaps exist, such as lacking explicit delete for Word paragraphs/tables or Excel cells, but workarounds are available. Overall well-covered.
Average 4.5/5 across 47 of 47 tools scored. Lowest: 3.9/5.

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
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description implies read-only behavior ('Return') and lists common error conditions (invalid params, file not found, unsupported format). However, no explicit statement about being non-destructive, auth requirements, or side effects. Without annotations, this is adequate but not outstanding.
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?
Description is a concise docstring-style block with purpose, parameters, and error conditions. Every sentence adds value; no fluff. Front-loaded with the main action.
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?
Covers parameter semantics and error scenarios well. Missing explicit read-only declaration and usage guidance vs siblings, but output schema exists to handle return values. For a simple read tool, the description is largely complete.
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?
Description fully explains each parameter beyond the schema: 'path' to an existing .docx, 'index' as zero-based, 'folder' as optional base folder. With 0% schema coverage, this compensates completely, giving clear semantics for correct invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the tool returns a single paragraph's content and metadata. It specifies the resource (paragraph) by index, distinguishing it from word_list_paragraphs which lists all paragraphs. The verb 'Return' is specific and accurate.
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 like word_list_paragraphs or word_get_info. The description only lists parameters and errors, leaving the agent to infer usage context from tool names.
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 provided, the description carries the full burden. It explains that the text box is appended to the slide's shape list, returns a 0-based index, and details font property application behavior (first run, None leaves default). It also lists error conditions and validation codes. However, it doesn't clarify whether the modification is auto-saved or requires a separate save step.
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 with clear Args, Returns, and Raises sections. It front-loads the main action. While it is somewhat long, each sentence adds value; minor redundancy could be trimmed (e.g., repeating 'VAL-PPTX codes'), but overall it's efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 13 parameters, 0% schema coverage, and no annotations, the description covers all aspects: parameter details, return format, error types. It lacks mention of save behavior or undo capability, but otherwise it is sufficiently complete 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.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description compensates fully. Every parameter is explained with type, default, and often examples (e.g., inches for geometry, hex for color). The description adds meaning beyond the raw schema, including validation codes and behavior when optional params are None.
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 'Add a text box with optional font properties to a slide,' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like pptx_add_image, pptx_add_shape, and pptx_add_table by explicitly naming the object type (text box) and its purpose.
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 any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to add a text box vs. a shape or image). It lacks explicit context about prerequisites, such as whether a slide must exist, and no exclusion criteria or when-not-to-use statements.
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 mentions return structure and errors, but does not explicitly state it is read-only or disclose other behavioral traits like file locking, leaving some gaps.
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 tightly structured with a clear main sentence, bullet-line args, and raises section, front-loading the purpose without extraneous text.
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 output schema exists, the description adequately covers return structure (identical to excel_get_info sheets) and errors, though missing edge cases like empty workbook could be noted.
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?
Despite 0% schema coverage, the description fully explains both parameters—path as existing .xlsx and folder for relative paths—adding significant value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it returns one dict per sheet in insertion order and compares to excel_get_info, making the purpose specific and differentiating it from sibling tools like excel_get_info.
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?
While it hints at when to use by comparing to excel_get_info, there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives 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.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the transparency burden. It mentions return format and error conditions (ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FMT) but does not disclose whether the operation is read-only, performance implications, or other behavioral traits. It is adequate but not comprehensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two paragraphs plus args list. Every sentence adds value: the first line states the purpose, the second details output structure, and the third lists parameters and errors. No wasted words.
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 simplicity (list paragraphs), the presence of an output schema, and only two parameters, the description covers input, output structure, and errors completely. It is fully adequate for an agent to understand and invoke the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It explains both parameters: 'path: Path to an existing .docx' and 'folder: Optional base folder for relative paths,' which adds valuable context beyond the schema's type-only definitions.
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: 'Return one dict per body paragraph.' It specifies the output keys (index, style, text, runs) and distinguishes from sibling tools like word_read_paragraph (single paragraph) and word_add_paragraph (adding), making it explicit that this tool lists all paragraphs.
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 listing paragraphs from a .docx file but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like word_read_paragraph. No when-not or exclusion criteria are provided, making it only adequate.
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?
Without annotations, the description carries full behavioral burden. It discloses that the tool appends a sheet (not inserts), requires existing .xlsx, validates name characters, returns the sheet index, and raises specific errors. This is comprehensive, though it omits whether the file is modified in place or saved.
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 clearly labeled sections (Args, Returns, Raises). Each sentence serves a purpose and no unnecessary words are used. The structure aids readability.
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 moderate complexity, the description covers purpose, all parameters with constraints, return value structure, and error conditions. It is self-contained and sufficient for an agent to invoke correctly.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description fully compensates. For 'path', it clarifies it must be an existing .xlsx. For 'name', it specifies non-empty and forbidden characters. For 'folder', it explains optional base for relative paths. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Append a new sheet to the workbook.' This is a specific verb (append) and resource (new sheet), distinguishing it from sibling tools like delete, rename, or list sheets.
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 vs. alternatives, such as creating a workbook first or when to use other sheet operations. No when-not-to-use or contextual advice is 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?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It fully discloses the return structure and error types (ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FMT). It implies the tool is read-only by describing a summary retrieval, though it does not explicitly state 'read-only' or mention side effects. This is sufficient for clarity, earning a high but not perfect score.
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 with clear sections (Return structure, Args, Raises). However, it is slightly verbose, especially in the detailed dict layout, which could be shortened without losing clarity. The front-loading of the return type is effective, but the Args part is redundant with the schema.
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 (simple info retrieval), the description covers the return value fully (aided by output schema), parameter semantics, and error conditions. It does not discuss permissions or rate limits, but these are not critical for this tool. The presence of an output schema reduces the burden on the description, making it sufficiently complete.
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 description coverage is 0%, yet the description adds detailed semantics: 'path' is described as 'Path to an existing .xlsx' and 'folder' as 'Optional base folder for relative paths.' This fully compensates for the schema's lack of descriptions, providing agents with clear guidance on parameter usage beyond the type definition.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it returns a summary of the workbook's sheets and sizes. The description specifies the exact structure of the return value and distinguishes it from siblings like excel_list_sheets by focusing on comprehensive sheet metadata. It uses specific verbs and resources, making the tool's purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implicitly explains when to use this tool (to get structured info about all sheets), but it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives such as excel_list_sheets or excel_read_sheet. No 'when not to use' or alternative recommendations are provided, leaving the agent to infer context from sibling names.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that slides are always appended, the returned index equals previous count, title populates placeholder, and errors like out-of-range layout_index do not modify the deck. This is comprehensive for behavioral transparency.
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 sections for args, returns, raises, and behavioral notes. It is slightly verbose but every sentence is informative. No fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no schema coverage and no output schema, the description fully covers parameters, return value, and error conditions. It also includes behavioral details like VAL-PPTX-018 and VAL-PPTX-021. Complete for this tool's complexity.
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 0%, so description must add meaning. It explains each parameter: path is path to .pptx, layout_index is 0-based with default 1 being 'Title and Content', title optional, folder optional. This adds significant value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool appends a new slide to the deck, distinguishing it from other pptx_add_* siblings. The verb 'Append' and resource 'slide' are specific.
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 explains what the tool does but does not explicitly guide when to use this tool versus alternatives like pptx_add_shape or pptx_add_table. Usage context is implied but no exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It clearly states the return format (a list of dicts with specific keys), behavior for empty decks, and error conditions (ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FMT). However, it does not explicitly state that the tool is read-only or that it does not modify the file. The description correctly implies a non-destructive 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?
The description is concise and well-structured. It starts with a clear one-sentence purpose, then lists return keys in bullet points, followed by an Args section, and finally exceptions. Every sentence provides valuable information, and there is no redundancy or unnecessary text.
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 (lists slides) and the presence of an output schema in the description (implicitly defined by the return format), the description covers the main aspects: input parameters, return format, and error handling. It could be enhanced with a brief example or note about performance on large files, but it is otherwise complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema provides parameter names and types but no descriptions (0% coverage). The description compensates by explaining 'path' as an existing .pptx file and 'folder' as an optional base folder for relative paths. This adds meaning beyond the schema, though it could include more details like file path formats or allowed extensions.
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 that the tool returns 'one dict per slide in insertion order', specifying the exact keys and their meanings. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like pptx_read_slide (which reads a single slide) and pptx_get_info (which returns file-level metadata). The verb 'list' combined with the resource 'slides' makes the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains what the tool does and how it behaves (e.g., empty deck returns []), but it does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as pptx_read_slide or pptx_get_info. The context of sibling tools suggests the use case, but without explicit exclusions or comparisons, the guidance is only implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden. It explains the return format and error conditions (ERR_INVALID_PARAMS, ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FMT) but does not disclose whether the tool is read-only or any potential side effects. The safety profile is not explicitly mentioned, which is a gap.
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 well-structured with a one-line summary followed by Args, Returns, and Raises sections. It is front-loaded with the main purpose and provides essential details without unnecessary verbosity. Every sentence adds value.
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 parameters, output schema present, no nested objects), the description is complete. It thoroughly covers parameter semantics, return value structure (including shape_dict details), and error cases. No additional information is needed for correct invocation.
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 description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates fully with an 'Args' section that explains each parameter: 'path' as path to existing pptx, 'index' as 0-based slide index, and 'folder' as optional base folder for relative paths. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema's type 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 states the action ('Return the slide's title, layout, and shape list') and the resource (a slide within a pptx file). It is specific and distinguishes this read operation from sibling pptx tools that modify or create slides.
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 reading slide details but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like pptx_list_slides or pptx_get_info. No exclusions or guidance on when not to use it are provided.
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 provided, the description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool appends (not inserts) a heading, returns an index, and raises specific errors. While it does not detail save behavior or permissions, it provides enough behavioral context for a simple append 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?
The description is concise and well-structured with clear sections for Args, Returns, and Raises. Every sentence adds value; no redundant or verbose content.
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 has 4 parameters and an output schema, the description covers purpose, parameters, return value, and common errors. It does not mention whether the heading is appended at the end of the document or before other content, but 'append' implies end. Overall, it is sufficiently complete for this tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, but the description explains each parameter: path (existing .docx), text (heading text), level (1..9 with error handling), and folder (optional base). This adds significant meaning beyond the schema titles, compensating for the lack of schema descriptions.
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 appends a heading paragraph at a given level (1..9) to a .docx file. The verb 'append' and resource 'heading paragraph' are specific, and it distinguishes from siblings like word_add_paragraph (which adds normal paragraphs) and word_add_header (which adds headers to sections).
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 specifies valid level range and error conditions (ERR_INVALID_PARAMS, ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FMT), which guides proper usage. However, it does not explicitly contrast with similar sibling tools like word_add_paragraph, leaving the agent to infer when to use headings vs normal paragraphs.
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 error conditions (file exists, invalid path format) and return value, but no annotations are provided to compensate. Behavior like no overwrite is implied but not explicitly stated. Could benefit from more detail on side effects and prerequisites.
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?
Front-loaded with a clear summary, then structured Args, Returns, Raises sections. Informative but slightly verbose; could be more concise without losing clarity.
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?
Covers essential aspects: purpose, parameters, return structure, and error cases. Missing some details like limitations or encoding, but adequate for a creation tool.
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?
Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description explains each parameter thoroughly: path (relative/absolute), title (optional, default None), folder (base for relative). Adds meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it creates a .docx file at a given path with an optional title paragraph. The verb 'create' and resource 'document' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling tools that manipulate existing documents.
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?
Describes the tool's purpose but does not explicitly mention when to avoid using it or suggest alternatives. However, the context is clear that for creating a new document, this is the tool.
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 key behaviors: uses mammoth, creates parent directory if missing, returns absolute output path, and raises specific errors. Missing details on permissions or side effects, but sufficient for a conversion tool.
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?
Well-structured with Args, Returns, Raises sections. Some verbosity like delegation line, but overall efficient. Information is relevant 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 output schema exists, description still explains return format and errors. Covers inputs, outputs, and key behavior. Does not mention performance or large file handling, but adequate for a simple conversion tool with three parameters.
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 0%, so description compensates fully. It explains each parameter: path ('existing .docx'), output ('target HTML, parent dir created'), folder ('optional base folder'). Adds meaning beyond schema titles.
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?

- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals that output is UTF-8 without BOM, uses standard CSV dialect, and describes error conditions (file not found, unsupported format, sheet not found). It does not explicitly state whether existing output files are overwritten, but the description is sufficiently transparent for common usage.
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 with clear sections (description, Args, Returns, Raises). It is longer than necessary, including implementation details like openpyxl and office_mcp.exporters, which may not be essential for an AI agent. However, it is organized and front-loaded with the key action, meriting a 4.
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 4 parameters, 0% schema coverage, and an output schema, the description covers all critical aspects: input requirements, optional parameters, output format (absolute path of CSV), and error handling. It is complete enough for an AI agent to use correctly without additional context.
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 0% (per context signals), so the description must compensate. The Args section fully explains each parameter: path (required .xlsx file), output (target path with parent directory creation and relative path resolution), sheet (optional, defaults to first sheet), and folder (optional base for relative paths). This adds significant meaning beyond the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Export a sheet to CSV'. It uses a specific verb ('Export') and resource ('sheet to CSV'), and distinguishes from sibling tools like excel_export_html and excel_export_pdf which have different output formats. The reference to openpyxl and stdlib csv provides implementation context but the core purpose is clear.
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 explains when to use the tool (to export an .xlsx sheet to CSV) and provides details about optional sheet selection and folder resolution. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives (e.g., other export formats). The usage context is implied but not exhaustive, so a score of 3 is appropriate.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description fully discloses behavior: it details the match output (location and context with window size), error types, and parameter effects. This is thorough and compensates for missing annotations.
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 with bullet points for location formats and clear sections for args/returns/raises. It is relatively long but each part adds value; minor trimming could improve conciseness.
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 (4 params, no annotations, output schema), the description is remarkably complete: it covers return format, error handling, parameter details, and usage context for multiple file types. No significant 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 description coverage is 0%, but the description adds rich semantics for all four parameters: explains path, query (non-empty string), case_sensitive (default true, case-insensitive when false), and folder (optional base path). This goes well beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool searches for a substring across the body of Office files (docx, xlsx, pptx) with specific location formats per file type. It is distinct from siblings like word_find_replace (Word-only) and covers multiple file types.
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 detailed context on location formats, parameter behavior, and error conditions. However, it does not explicitly compare to alternative tools or state when not to use this tool, which would strengthen 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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses default behavior, side effect of empty text clearing the first paragraph, return format ({"ok": True}), and three specific error conditions with error codes. This provides comprehensive transparency beyond minimal expectations.
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 efficiently structured: purpose in first sentence, then default behavior, parameter list, return, and error conditions. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy. At approximately 10 lines, it is appropriately sized and front-loaded.
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?
Despite having no annotations and moderate complexity (4 parameters, 2 required, error handling), the description is fully complete. It covers all aspects: purpose, parameter behavior, return output, and error conditions. The output schema exists and is explained, so no further return details needed.
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 description coverage is 0%, meaning schema provides no descriptions. The description adds meaning for all 4 parameters: explains path (existing .docx), text (new header text, empty string clears), section_index (zero-based, default 0), and folder (optional base folder). This compensates for the missing schema descriptions, though could include format examples.
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 sets a section's header text, with specific verb 'Set the text of a section's header.' It distinguishes from siblings by explaining default behavior (only first section) and how to target other sections via section_index, which differentiates it from similar tools like word_add_footer.
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 usage context: default behavior of updating only first section, and explicit instruction to pass section_index for other sections. However, it does not contrast with alternative tools (e.g., when to use word_add_heading instead), so guidelines are good but not exhaustive.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fully discloses behavior: it uses LibreOffice headless, employs a unique per-call user installation for concurrency, creates parent directories for output, and raises specific errors. This exceeds typical transparency.
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 well-structured with summary, Args, Returns, and Raises sections. Every sentence is informative and necessary, with no wasted words. It is both concise and comprehensive.
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 the tool and the rich sibling context, the description covers purpose, parameters, return format, concurrency behavior, and error conditions. It is fully sufficient for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.
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?
Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description thoroughly explains each parameter: path is an existing .xlsx, output is target path with directory creation and relative resolution against folder, and folder is an optional base. This adds critical meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'Convert a .xlsx file to PDF via LibreOffice headless,' providing a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes this tool from other export tools like excel_export_csv and convert_document.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use this tool (for .xlsx to PDF conversion) and notes prerequisites (LibreOffice on PATH), but it does not explicitly exclude other tools or provide alternative recommendations. The Raises section lists error conditions that help guide usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Given no annotations, the description fully discloses behavior: None means 'do not change', all None leads to no-op preserving SHA256 and mtime, and lists possible errors. This is highly transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with a clear header, numbered args with format, and separate sections for returns and raises. No unnecessary text; every sentence adds value.
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?
Despite 13 parameters and complexity, the description covers all aspects: no-op behavior, each parameter's format, return value, and all error types. Output schema exists but description still provides return shape. Complete for an agent to use.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must fully explain each parameter. It does so with detail: border can be string or dict, alignment values, number_format examples, etc. Adds significant meaning beyond the schema's type 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 states the tool applies font, fill, border, alignment, and number-format to a range, which is distinct from sibling tools like excel_write_cell (which writes values) and excel_format_cells is the only formatting tool among siblings.
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 the behavior of None parameters and no-op case, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs. alternative tools like excel_write_cell or excel_write_range. However, the tool's purpose is self-evident given sibling names.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description fully discloses behavior: how range inputs are interpreted (None, single cell, rectangle), case sensitivity, normalization of empty cells to empty string, return format (2D list), and error conditions. This exceeds expectations.
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 well-structured with a brief main sentence, followed by clear Args, Returns, and Raises sections. 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?
Given the tool's complexity (4 parameters, no annotations, output schema present), the description covers all necessary aspects: parameter usage, return format details, and error handling. It leaves no 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 description coverage is 0%, so the description compensates by detailing each parameter: 'path' (path to .xlsx), 'sheet' (sheet name), 'range' (with examples and notes), and 'folder' (base folder for relative paths). This adds significant meaning beyond the schema names.
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 'Read cell values from a sheet, optionally limited to a range.' It identifies the resource (sheet) and action (read), distinguishing it from sibling tools like excel_write_cell or excel_get_info.
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 the range parameter and its various forms, but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool versus alternatives. However, the context is clear for a read-only operation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description fully discloses behavioral traits: non-recursive scanning, default folder handling, relative path resolution, and error behavior (ERR_INVALID_PARAMS). No contradictions are present.
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?

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 simplicity (one optional parameter, no nested objects, output schema exists), the description covers all relevant aspects: input behavior, output structure, error conditions, and edge cases (empty folder returns []). It is fully complete.
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?
The schema has 0% coverage for the single parameter 'folder'. The description compensates thoroughly by explaining its default (None → default folder), how relative paths are resolved, and that it must be a directory or raises an error.
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 precisely states it lists Office files (.docx/.xlsx/.pptx) in a folder non-recursively, filtering out non-Office files and subdirectories. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools that handle conversion, creation, or editing of individual document types.
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 clearly indicates when to use the tool (to list Office files in a folder) and what it does not do (non-recursive, filtering). While it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when to avoid using it, the context is sufficient given the sibling tool names are distinct.
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?
No annotations are provided, so the description fully covers behavioral traits: it modifies footer text, handles empty string to clear first paragraph (V1), and lists specific errors (ERR_INVALID_PARAMS, ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FMT). Disclosures like 'later sections keep their own footers' add valuable context beyond basic 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?
The description is concise with a clear structure: one-sentence purpose, then elaboration, then structured Args/Returns/Raises sections. Every sentence adds value without redundancy. Front-loaded with the primary action.
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?

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?
Despite 0% schema description coverage, the description includes an 'Args' section that explains each parameter's purpose (path, text, section_index, folder) and default values. This adds significant meaning beyond the raw schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description starts with a clear verb+resource: 'Set the text of a section's footer.' This directly states the tool's function and distinguishes it from siblings like 'word_add_header' (header) and 'word_set_section' (section properties).
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 default behavior (first section only) and how to target other sections via 'section_index', providing clear context for use. It lacks an explicit when-not-to-use or direct comparison to sibling tools, but the guidance is sufficient.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fully discloses key behaviors: the no-op case when all formatting parameters are None (preserving SHA256), and specific error conditions (ERR_INVALID_PARAMS, ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FMT). This is comprehensive.
