Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.1
- Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes, but there is notable redundancy: `set_custom_field_value` and `set_task_custom_field_value` are identical, as are `remove_custom_field_value` and `remove_task_custom_field_value`. This creates ambiguity for the agent.
Naming Consistency4/5The naming pattern is largely verb_noun and consistent (create, get, update, delete, add, remove), but there are a few outliers like `clickup_raw`, `duplicate_task`, and `find_list_by_name` that deviate. Overall, minor inconsistencies.
Tool Count2/5162 tools is excessively high for an MCP server. While it covers many features, the sheer number can overwhelm agents and make discovery difficult. A more focused or modular approach would be better.
Completeness5/5The tool set is extremely comprehensive, covering all major ClickUp entities (tasks, lists, folders, spaces, workspaces, docs, chat, goals, time entries, guests, webhooks, views) with full CRUD and many specialized operations. No obvious gaps.
Average 4/5 across 162 of 162 tools scored. Lowest: 3.1/5.

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
- Behavior2/5
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 the tool lists sprints with dates but does not mention read-only nature, permissions, side effects, or limitations.
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 of 14 words, front-loaded with the action 'List the sprints', and contains no extraneous information.
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?
For a simple list tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is mostly complete. It misses potential details like pagination, ordering, or additional returned fields, but given the simplicity, it is minimally adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and the parameter description 'Sprint Folder ID.' is minimal. The tool description adds 'Sprint Folder' context, but does not explain how to obtain the ID or what it represents beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists sprints inside a Sprint Folder and includes start/due dates. It specifies the resource (sprints) and location (Sprint Folder), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'get_sprint_tasks' but not fully differentiating from 'get_lists_in_folder'.
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 'get_sprint_tasks' or 'get_lists_in_folder'. The description does not mention prerequisites, use cases, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only mentions 'Returns a confirmation' but does not disclose destructive nature, required permissions, or any side effects. Given no annotations, this is insufficient.
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 very short (one sentence) and to the point. However, it sacrifices essential details for brevity, making it less informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 3 parameters and no output schema. The description omits details about the confirmation response, error cases, tag object structure, and prerequisites. Incomplete for effective use.
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, so the schema already documents each parameter. The tool description adds no additional 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 the action (remove), the resource (tags from time entries), and the scope (one or more tags from one or more entries at once). It distinguishes from sibling tools like add_tags_to_time_entries.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like remove_tag_from_task. No mention of prerequisites or conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It mentions 'legacy Chat view' (implying an older system) and returns the created message's ID, but does not cover permissions, error conditions, rate limits, or any side effects beyond the optional notification.
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 concise sentences front-loading the main action, with no wasted words. Every sentence adds essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is too brief given that there is no output schema and annotations are missing. It fails to explain what 'legacy Chat view' entails, error scenarios, or how it relates to other chat tools in the sibling list.
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 clear descriptions for all three parameters. The description adds minimal value, merely restating the notify_all purpose. No additional details on parameter usage constraints beyond 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 action ('Post a message into a legacy Chat view') and the resource ('legacy Chat view'). It distinguishes itself from siblings like create_chat_message and create_chat_message_reply by specifying 'legacy Chat view' and including the optional notify_all feature.
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. Siblings include create_chat_message (modern chat), create_chat_message_reply, etc., but the description does not explain which one to choose or when not to use this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description carries full burden. States it returns the created reaction, but does not disclose behavior such as idempotency, error conditions (e.g., if reaction already exists), or side effects. Minimal behavioral insight.
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, front-loaded with action and context. No wasted words; efficient and clear.
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?
Covers purpose and return value, but lacks details on error handling (e.g., duplicate reaction), limits, or prerequisites. Given no output schema, the note on return is helpful, but more context would improve 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?
Schema covers 100% of parameters with clear descriptions (team_id fallback, message_id target, reaction emoji name). The description adds example emojis, which provides marginal value but does not significantly enhance understanding 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 the verb 'Add' and resource 'emoji reaction to a Chat message' with specific examples (👍, ✅). Distinguishes from sibling tools like delete_chat_message_reaction. The mention of ClickUp Chat v3 adds context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use or not use this tool. Alternatives like delete_chat_message_reaction exist but are not mentioned. The description only states what it does without context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states 'Revoke' (destructive action) and 'Returns a confirmation', but lacks details on side effects, required permissions, reversibility, or error behavior. The limited disclosure leaves significant behavioral unknowns.
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: three short sentences that each convey necessary information. No redundant or superfluous content. 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?
For a simple mutation tool, the description covers the basic action and plan restriction. However, it omits details on error conditions, idempotency, and required permissions. Given the absence of an output schema and the tool's destructive nature, more context would improve 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?
All 4 parameters are fully described in the input schema (100% coverage). The description does not add any extra meaning or context for the parameters beyond what is already in the schema, so 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 action: 'Revoke a guest's access to a single task.' It uses a specific verb ('revoke') and resource ('a guest's access to a single task'), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'remove_guest_from_folder' or 'remove_guest_from_list'. The additional 'Enterprise plan only' constraint further clarifies scope.
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 only mentions 'Enterprise plan only' as a constraint but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'remove_guest_from_folder' or 'remove_guest_from_list'). It does not specify prerequisites, preferred use cases, 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.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description mentions the action (share), return (updated guest), and plan restriction (enterprise). However, it does not disclose any behavioral traits such as side effects, permission requirements, or rate limits. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, and this is insufficient.
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 extremely concise with two sentences that front-load the main action and return value, containing no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the 5 parameters and no output schema, the description is too sparse. It does not explain prerequisites beyond 'Enterprise plan only', error conditions, or what happens with optional parameters. More context is needed for a complete understanding.
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 parameters have descriptions in the schema (100% coverage). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, 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 tool shares a single task with a guest at a chosen permission level and returns the updated guest. It distinguishes from sibling tools like add_guest_to_folder and add_guest_to_list by specifying 'single task'. The 'Enterprise plan only' adds a clear constraint.
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 when to use (adding guest to a task) but does not explicitly state when not to use or provide alternatives. There is no guidance differentiating from sibling tools like add_guest_to_folder or add_guest_to_list. The 'Enterprise plan only' note provides a precondition but not usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states it creates and returns the channel, without mentioning permissions, side effects, rate limits, or response structure. This leaves significant gaps for an AI agent.
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: a single sentence plus a brief return statement. It is front-loaded and wastes no words, clearly communicating the core functionality.
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?
For a creation tool with no output schema, the description could elaborate on what 'attached' means and the response format. However, the schema covers parameters completely, and the core action is stated. Some context about permissions or integration is missing.
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 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description reinforces the parameters' role (e.g., 'attached to a specific Space, Folder or List') but adds no semantic value beyond the schema descriptions. No examples or formatting details.
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 creates a Chat channel attached to a specific Space, Folder, or List, distinguishing it from the sibling tool 'create_chat_channel' which likely creates a standalone channel. The verb and resource are explicit.
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 when to use (creating a channel tied to a location) but does not explicitly contrast with the sibling 'create_chat_channel' or provide conditions for not using this tool. Guidance is implicit rather than explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description states the action and return value but fails to disclose important behavioral traits such as required permissions, error conditions (e.g., if the parent message doesn't exist), or any side effects. With no annotations available, the description carries the full burden but is insufficient.
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 two sentences, direct, and contains no unnecessary information. Every sentence adds value: the first states the purpose, the second states the return value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 4 parameters and no output schema, the description provides the core purpose and return value. However, it lacks details on permissions, error handling, and the format of the reply id. It is adequate but not complete for a creation 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 are described in the schema (100% coverage). The description adds context about the response ('Returns the created reply with its id'), but does not significantly enhance the understanding of parameters beyond the schema. 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 action ('Reply to a Chat message'), the resource ('Chat message'), and specifies it creates a threaded response. It also distinguishes itself from siblings by mentioning ClickUp Chat v3 and the unique operation of creating a reply.
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 ('Reply to a Chat message') but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'send_chat_message' or 'create_chat_direct_message'. No exclusions or context about 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.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It states the tool returns the created List with its ID, which is expected for a create operation. However, it does not disclose any required permissions, side effects (e.g., folder existence check), or idempotency properties.
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 concise sentences: first covers purpose and optional fields, second covers return value. No unnecessary words or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 8 parameters and no output schema, the description is adequate but incomplete. It does not explain the full return structure (e.g., whether it returns all list fields) or mention error scenarios. The schema compensates for parameter details, but the return and error handling are underexplained.
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 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description merely lists optional fields without adding new detail. It fails to mention the 'due_date_time' parameter, though it is covered in 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 verb 'Create' and the resource 'List inside a Folder', listing optional fields. It distinguishes from siblings like 'create_folderless_list' and 'create_list_from_template_in_folder' by specifying the parent as a Folder.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While sibling names imply different contexts, the description does not provide any when-to-use or when-not-to-use information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states what is returned and the object scope, but omits details on permissions, read-only nature, pagination, or any side effects, leaving significant gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single clear sentence with no wasted words. However, listing the returned fields inline rather than structuring them could be slightly improved, but it remains 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?
For a simple parameterless (except list_id) tool with no output schema, the description covers the core purpose and returned fields adequately. It does not mention pagination or limits, but for most basic use cases it is sufficient.
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 the single parameter list_id already described in the schema. The tool description adds no additional meaning or syntax beyond what the schema provides, so baseline score applies.
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 lists members with specific fields (ids, usernames, emails) and clarifies that these are the users assignable to tasks in the list, making it distinct from broader member list tools like get_workspace_members.
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 accessing assignable members of a specific list, but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives like get_task_assignable_members or get_workspace_members, nor any exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Given no annotations, the description alone should disclose behavioral traits. It states the action and return value but omits potential side effects, permissions required, or error conditions. Minimal disclosure for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences: first defines the action, second describes the response. No redundant information, 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 is adequate for a tool with schema-covered parameters and no output schema. However, it lacks context about prerequisites (e.g., custom field existence) and error handling, leaving minor gaps for an agent.
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 descriptions for all parameters. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the action (clear a custom field's value on a task) and differentiates from siblings like 'remove_custom_field_value' by specifying 'on a task'. The verb 'clear' and resource 'custom field value' 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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to. The purpose implies usage for clearing task custom fields, but no exclusions or alternative tools are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'live timer' and 'returns the started entry', but omits important details such as whether only one timer can run at a time, what happens if another timer is already running, or authorization requirements beyond 'token owner'. Significant gaps remain.
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?
Highly concise: two sentences delivering the core purpose, optional bindings, return value, and a follow-up action. No redundant words; front-loaded with the essential action.
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?
Reasonably complete for a simple tool with 5 self-descriptive parameters. However, lacks coverage of concurrency behavior, error handling, and edge cases (e.g., what if a timer is already running?). No output schema, so description should clarify return structure more. Acceptable but not thorough.
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 5 parameters described in detail. The description adds minimal value beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., 'bound to a task' and 'marked billable'). Baseline 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?
Clearly states the verb 'Start', the resource 'live timer', and scopes it to the token owner. Mentions optional binding to task and billable marking. Distinguishes from siblings like 'create_time_entry' by emphasizing the real-time nature and the pairing with 'stop_time_entry'.
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?
Describes basic usage context: it starts a timer that can be stopped later. Provides a sibling pointer ('Stop it later with stop_time_entry'). No explicit when-to-use vs alternatives (e.g., create_time_entry for non-live entries), but the workflow hint offers some guidance.
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 provided, so description carries full burden. States it creates a channel and returns an id, but omits details like required permissions, error behaviors (e.g., duplicate name), or whether it's destructive (creation is usually non-destructive). Adequate but not detailed.
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?
Single comprehensive sentence covering all key aspects: action, resource, optional parameters, and return value. No unnecessary words or redundancy.
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?
Suitable for a creation tool with 1 required parameter. Mentions return of created channel with id (no output schema, so good). Could note that team_id defaults to CLICKUP_TEAM_ID, but schema covers that. Lacks error handling notes but not critical.
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 100%, so baseline 3. Description adds minimal context beyond schema, just reiterating optional fields. Does not clarify enum semantics (e.g., visibility choices) beyond 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 the verb 'Create', the resource 'standalone Chat channel', and scope 'in a Workspace (ClickUp Chat v3)'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like create_chat_channel_on_location and create_chat_direct_message by specifying 'standalone'. Also mentions optional fields and return value.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., create_chat_channel_on_location). Does not mention prerequisites or exclusions. The agent must infer from tool names only.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description notes that the tag becomes available to all tasks in the Space and returns the created tag, but lacks info on permissions, rate limits, or side effects. With no annotations, the description carries the burden and provides minimal additional 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?
Two sentences, front-loaded with action and optional features, no wasted words. Efficient and clear.
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?
The description covers the core action, optional colors, scope, and return value. However, it omits permission requirements and doesn't explicitly state that the response includes the tag ID. For a creation tool, this is adequate but not fully comprehensive.
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 the schema documents parameters well. The description adds that colors are optional and tags are available to all tasks, but does not add substantial 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 the tool creates a new tag in a Space with optional colors, and distinguishes it from siblings like delete_space_tag, update_space_tag, and get_space_tags.
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 vs alternatives, no exclusions or prerequisites mentioned. The description lacks context for an agent to decide between creating and other tag operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It mentions the return type (confirmation) and the constraint (own reactions only), but does not disclose error handling, idempotency, permissions, or side effects beyond removal.
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, efficient sentence with no fluff. It conveys the core action and context immediately.
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 simple deletion tool with full schema coverage, the description is largely sufficient. It includes the return type and scope. Minor missing details like behavior on non-existent reactions are not critical but would improve 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?
Schema coverage is 100% and each parameter has a descriptive label. The description adds no new parameter information beyond the schema, which is already clear. Baseline 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 action (remove a specific emoji reaction), the target (Chat message, ClickUp Chat v3), and a constraint (added by the current user). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_chat_message_reaction (add) and get_chat_message_reactions (list).
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 the tool is for removing reactions added by the current user, but does not explicitly state when to use vs. alternatives or provide exclusion criteria. It gives some context but lacks explicit guidance.
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 are absent, so description must cover behavioral traits. It states permanent deletion and inability to undo, which is essential. However, it omits permissions required, rate limits, or impact on related data (e.g., subtasks, comments). Adequate but could be more thorough.
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 critical information (irreversibility, return value) is front-loaded. Every word serves a purpose.
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 delete tool, the description covers the main purpose and return value. No output schema exists, but the return is described. Missing details on error handling or concurrency, but given low complexity, it is nearly 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 all three parameters described. The description adds no new detail beyond the schema's parameter descriptions. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema carries the meaning.
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 action ('delete'), resource ('task'), and irreversibility ('permanently delete', 'cannot be undone'). It also specifies the return value (confirmation with id). This distinguishes it from other task operations like update_task or get_task.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites, fallbacks, or situations to avoid. Sibling tools include many delete operations but no comparative context is provided.
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 behavioral disclosure burden. It describes the tool as a read operation ('list') and mentions pagination, but does not disclose side effects, required permissions, rate limits, or error handling (e.g., message not found). This 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with a parenthetical about pagination, making it concise and front-loaded. However, it could be slightly more structured (e.g., separate the pagination note into a clear sentence). It earns its space without waste.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description provides the core output (who reacted and which emoji) and pagination details. It does not explain the reaction structure, expected response format, or behavior when no reactions exist. This is minimally complete but leaves gaps for an agent.
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, so all parameters (team_id, message_id, cursor, limit) are already documented. The description adds minimal semantic value beyond the schema, only reiterating pagination via cursor/limit. 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 tool lists emoji reactions on a Chat message, specifying the output includes who reacted and which emoji. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_chat_messages (lists messages) or create_chat_message_reaction (adds reactions).
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 mentions pagination via cursor/limit, which is useful, but it does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., get_chat_messages for message content or create_chat_message_reaction for adding reactions). The usage context is implied but not explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does not mention behavioral traits such as required permissions, pagination, rate limits, or whether only active members are listed. For a read operation, this lack of transparency 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 two sentences, no fluff, and front-loaded with the action. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with no output schema, the description covers the return fields (ids, emails, roles). However, it lacks mention of pagination for large directories, which is a minor gap. Overall mostly 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%, and the description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema for the team_id parameter. The description mentions 'Workspace' but does not clarify the parameter mapping or its optional nature. 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 the verb 'List', the resource 'members of a Workspace', and the specific fields returned (ids, emails, roles). It also adds context by noting usefulness for resolving assignees, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_task_assignable_members.
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 resolving assignees but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_task_assignable_members or get_workspaces. No exclusion criteria or scenario guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It only states the basic operation and return value, but omits critical details such as whether tags are appended or replaced, permission requirements, error handling, or potential side effects.
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 extremely concise: two sentences with no redundant information. It is front-loaded with the action and immediately provides a usage example.
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 relatively simple (batch tagging), and the description covers the basic outcome (confirmation). However, it lacks details on behavior like whether tags are additive or replace existing, and it doesn't address error conditions or prerequisites. For a tool with no output schema and no annotations, this is somewhat incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already has 100% description coverage for all three parameters. The tool description adds no additional parameter details, so it doesn't improve clarity beyond what the schema provides. The description's example of tag object format is already in 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 action ('Add'), the resource ('tags to time entries'), and the outcome ('Returns a confirmation'). It also provides a concrete use case ('categorize logged time'), making it easy to distinguish from sibling tools that operate on other entities.
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?
It gives a clear usage context ('Use to categorize logged time') with examples, but does not explicitly specify when not to use this tool or mention alternatives (e.g., remove_tags_from_time_entries for removal).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. While the operation is implicitly read-only, the description omits details such as handling of missing task IDs, pagination, or rate limits, leaving the agent with limited behavioral understanding.
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 extremely concise, consisting of two sentences that efficiently convey the tool's purpose and a usage hint. No extraneous information is present.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of an output schema, the description only vaguely states 'Returns per-task status durations', lacking specifics on the response structure or error handling. The parameter relationships are explained in the schema, but overall completeness is moderate.
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 parameter schema has 100% description coverage, adequately documenting all three parameters. The description adds no extra semantics beyond the schema, so a 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 explicitly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'time-in-status data for multiple tasks', and distinguishes from the sibling 'get_task_time_in_status' by emphasizing bulk operation and comparative use.
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 advises 'Use to compare cycle time across a set of tasks', providing clear context for when to employ this tool. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternative tools.
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, description carries full burden. Mentions pagination and output fields (ids, names) but lacks disclosure on authentication, read-only nature, rate limits, or error handling.
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 redundancy. First sentence states purpose, second adds key pagination detail. Efficient and front-loaded.
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?
No output schema, so description should describe return structure. Mentions ids and names but omits pagination response format (e.g., next_cursor). Adequate for simple tool but could be more 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%, so baseline is 3. Description adds only 'Paginated via cursor/limit' which echoes schema descriptions, no extra semantic value beyond what schema already 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?
Clear verb 'List' and specific resource 'users @-mentioned/tagged in a Chat message'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like get_chat_messages, get_chat_message_reactions, and get_chat_message_replies.
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?
Implies usage via action 'List tagged users' but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives, nor provides prerequisites or when-not-to-use scenarios.
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 provided, so the description must carry the burden. It discloses that the tool reads from the task object and that attachments are inline, indicating a read-only operation. However, it lacks details on return format, pagination, or potential rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with a parenthetical clarification. It is front-loaded with the main action and efficient, with no unnecessary words.
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?
While the tool is simple with one required parameter, the description does not explain what the returned attachment data looks like or if there are any limitations (e.g., pagination). This leaves some ambiguity for an AI agent.
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 100%, so the description does not need to add parameter details. It provides no additional semantics beyond the schema, which already describes the parameters adequately. Baseline score of 3 applies.
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 (list), the resource (attachments on a task), and explains that attachments are returned inline from the task object. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'upload_task_attachment' (write) and 'get_task' (full task details).
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., getting task details via get_task). The description implies usage for listing attachments but does not provide context for when not to use it or mention related tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry behavioral transparency. It states the action (revoke access), result (confirmation), and constraint (Enterprise plan). However, it does not disclose side effects (e.g., irreversible?), required permissions, or error conditions, leaving gaps for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise: one sentence plus a four-word constraint. Front-loaded with the main action. Every word is meaningful; no fluff.
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 simple (2 required params, no nested objects, no output schema). The description covers the main action and a plan requirement but omits return value details, error handling, and prerequisites beyond plan type. For a mutation tool, more context on behavior (e.g., idempotent? role requirements?) would improve 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?
Schema coverage is 100% (both parameters have descriptions). The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, 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?
Description clearly states the verb ('Revoke a guest's access'), the resource ('a Folder'), and notes a return value ('Returns a confirmation'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'remove_guest' (workspace-level) and 'remove_guest_from_list/task' by specifying 'folder'.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use vs. siblings; the 'Enterprise plan only' provides a prerequisite but not situational direction. The tool's name and context imply it's for folder-specific revocation, but the description lacks explicit usage hints or alternatives.
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 partial update ('Only the provided fields change') and return value. However, no annotations exist, and description does not cover permissions, side effects, or error conditions, leaving gaps for a mutation tool.

Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two efficient sentences, each carrying essential information: purpose and behavior. No redundant words.
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?
Adequate for a straightforward update operation, but given 8 parameters and no output schema or annotations, could benefit from more detail on validation, prerequisites, or response structure.
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 schema has 100% description coverage, so baseline is 3. Description merely lists parameter names without adding new semantics or constraints beyond what the schema already 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?
Description uses specific verb 'Update' and resource 'List', lists the modifiable fields, and clarifies partial update behavior. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools that update other entities like tasks or folders.
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?
Implied usage context (when to modify a list), but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives. No comparison with similar update tools like 'update_task'.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description bears full burden. It only states it adds an item and returns updated checklist, but does not disclose error handling, idempotency, 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?
Exceptionally concise: one sentence plus usage note, no wasted 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 simple creation tool with few parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose and usage context. Lacks details on errors or return format, but acceptable.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds minimal value beyond schema, only restating optional assignment.
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 it adds an item to an existing checklist, distinguishes from sibling create_checklist by specifying 'Use after create_checklist to populate it.'
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit context: 'Use after create_checklist to populate it.' While it doesn't exclude alternatives, the guidance is clear and 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?
No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool creates a Doc, optionally nests it, and returns the Doc with its id. However, it fails to mention the default behavior of the create_page parameter (which, according to the schema, defaults to true and creates an initial empty page). This omission is a moderate 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 three sentences: first covers purpose and options, second explains return value, third provides next-step guidance. Every sentence adds value, no wasted words, and it is front-loaded with the main action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 5 parameters including a nested object, no output schema, the description is incomplete. It mentions return of 'id' but not other fields. Critically, it omits the create_page parameter's default behavior (creating an initial page), which is important for understanding the tool's output. This gap reduces completeness for an AI agent.
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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description summarizes the parameter roles (nesting, visibility) but does not add new semantic information beyond what the schema provides. It mentions 'optionally nested under a Space/Folder/List' and 'visibility setting', which align with schema fields.
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 'Create a new Doc in a Workspace (ClickUp Docs v3)', specifying the verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_doc_page by noting that pages can be added afterwards. This provides a clear purpose.
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 gives clear context for when to use this tool (creating a Doc) and mentions the alternative create_doc_page for adding pages. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare with other create_* tools like create_folder, but the context is sufficient for an AI agent.
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 fully convey behavioral traits. It states the tool creates a folder and returns it, and mentions what is reproduced. However, it does not disclose potential failures (e.g., missing template or space), permissions needed, or side effects beyond creation. Moderate disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description consists of two concise sentences that front-load the purpose and return value. Every word adds value; no filler or redundancy.
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 moderate complexity (4 parameters, one optional object, no output schema), the description covers the core behavior and return. It does not explain error cases or optional behavior of the 'options' parameter beyond the schema, but is largely adequate for a creation 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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already explains all four parameters. The description adds minor context (e.g., 'reproducing the template's Lists...') but does not significantly enhance understanding of individual parameters like space_id or template_id beyond 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?
The description uses a specific verb ('Create'), names the resource ('a Folder in a Space from a Folder template'), and explains the outcome ('reproducing the template's Lists, statuses and structure. Returns the created Folder.'). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like create_folder (no template) and create_list_from_template_in_folder (list not folder).
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 provides a single usage hint ('Use to spin up a standardized project layout'), but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or comparisons to alternatives such as create_folder or create_list_from_template_in_folder. The context is implied but not fully directive.
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 provided. Description discloses optional assignee and notification behavior, and return of created comment ID. Does not mention permissions or side effects, but the creation action is inherently non-destructive and well-described.
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?
Three concise sentences covering purpose, optional features, and usage examples. Front-loaded first sentence is clear. No redundant or 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?
Covers purpose, optional parameters, return value. No output schema, but description mentions return ID. Missing error handling or prerequisites, but sufficient for a straightforward creation 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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the description adds limited new parameter info. It highlights optional assignee and notify_all, which is helpful but not extensive. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
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?
Clearly states action (post/comment on task) and purpose (leave feedback, ask questions). Sibling tools like create_list_comment and create_threaded_comment exist, but the description ties directly to tasks, providing good differentiation.
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?
Provides usage context ('leave feedback, ask questions or record an update') but lacks exclusions or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternatives mentioned, which is acceptable given the clear purpose.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool copies structure and returns the created task, but it does not mention permissions, side effects, or limits. For a creation tool, basic transparency is present, but more detail (e.g., does it modify the template?) would be helpful.
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 two sentences, concise and front-loaded. Every sentence adds value: the first explains the action, the second provides usage guidance. No waste.
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?
Despite no output schema, the description states it returns the created task, which is sufficient. The tool has 4 parameters, and the description covers the essential workflow. It could mention optional nature of due_date, but the schema already indicates that. Overall, it is fairly complete for a focused creation 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?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema: it only clarifies that template_id comes from get_task_templates. No additional parameter context is provided for other fields.
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 'Create', the resource 'task in a List', and the source 'from an existing task template', with specifics about copying structure (subtasks, checklists, custom fields). It also mentions the return value. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like create_task.
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 explicit guidance to use this tool after get_task_templates to obtain the template_id, establishing a workflow sequence. It lacks explicit when-not-to-use conditions, but the context from sibling tools implies alternative tools for non-template tasks.
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?
States it's a partial update ('Only the provided fields change') and returns the updated checklist, but lacks disclosure of permissions or side effects; no annotations to supplement.
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.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Adequate for a simple mutation tool; specifies return value despite missing output schema; could mention error conditions but not essential.
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 covers all 3 parameters with descriptions; description adds minimal value beyond restating partial update behavior.
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 the tool renames a checklist and/or repositions it among the task's checklists, distinguishing it from create/delete siblings.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives like create_checklist or delete_checklist; however, the purpose is self-evident.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose error handling (e.g., no match, multiple matches), permissions, or side effects. The operation is implied read-only but not explicitly stated.
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?
Single sentence, 15 words, front-loaded with key action and scope. No unnecessary information.
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 simple lookup tool with no output schema, the description is largely complete. It defines the input and output (ID resolution), but could mention uniqueness or error behavior for full completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions. The description adds context about space scope and search area, enhancing 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 the tool resolves a List ID from its name within a Space, specifying it searches folders and folderless lists. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_list (by ID) or get_lists_in_folder.

Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context (finding a list by name) but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this vs alternatives like get_list. It lacks when-not instructions or prerequisites.
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 provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosure. It states the tool returns a user object with ID, implying a read-only lookup. However, it does not describe behavior when the member is not found, potential errors, or any side effects.
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 two sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states the core functionality, and the second provides usage context. 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.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the low complexity (2 parameters, no output schema), the description is fairly complete. It explains the input identifiers and the output (user object with ID). However, it could mention error handling or fallback behavior for 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?
Schema coverage is 100%, and both parameters are described in the schema. The description adds the context that the tool is useful before assigning tasks, but does not provide additional semantics beyond what the schema already offers.
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 resolves a workspace member by name, username, or email and returns the user object with ID. It uses a specific verb ('Resolve') and resource ('Workspace member'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'get_workspace_members' which list all members.
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 provides a usage hint ('Useful before assigning tasks'), indicating when to use the tool. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternative tools like 'get_workspace_members' for listing all members.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided. The description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as idempotency, required permissions, or error handling for invalid channels. It only describes what is returned.
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.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple nature of the tool (2 parameters, no output schema), the description adequately covers the return values and purpose. It could be more complete by mentioning potential error states or permissions, but it is sufficient for a read 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?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds 'by id' referencing channel_id, but does not add meaning beyond the schema descriptions for the parameters.
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 'Get a single Chat channel by id' and lists specific fields returned (name, description, topic, visibility, location). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_chat_channels and update_chat_channel.
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 includes 'Use to inspect a channel's settings', providing clear context for when to use this tool. It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the purpose is well-defined.
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 provided, the description implies a read-only operation via 'Get' and 'inspect', but it does not explicitly state non-destructiveness, permissions, or side effects. It adds some context about including key results and progress, but overall the behavioral disclosure is minimal.
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 two sentences long, front-loaded with the primary action, and contains no unnecessary words. Every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential information: what it does, what it includes, and its purpose. It could mention error handling or response format, but the provided context is adequate given the low complexity.
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 schema covers the single parameter fully (100% coverage). The description adds no new information about 'goal_id' beyond its use as an identifier. The baseline 3 is appropriate as the schema documents the parameter sufficiently.
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 gets a single Goal by ID, including key results and progress. It uses specific verbs and resource names, and the phrase 'Use to inspect a Goal's details and its key_result ids' distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_goals (list all) and create_goal.
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 says when to use ('inspect a Goal's details') but does not explicitly exclude other scenarios or mention alternatives. While 'Use to' provides context, it lacks guidance on when not to use the tool or comparisons to similar tools.
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 carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool returns paginated results and supports filtering, ordering, subtasks, and custom fields. However, it does not mention error behavior (e.g., invalid list_id) or any side effects. For a read tool, the core behavior is adequately covered, but additional detail would improve 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 a single, well-structured sentence plus a concise usage guideline. It is front-loaded with the main action and each clause adds necessary information. No extraneous words or redundant details. Ideal length for a tool with many parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the complexity (17 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description does not mention the return format (e.g., list of task objects) or the response structure. It also lacks guidance on how to handle pagination correctly or what to expect from the date filters. For a tool of this complexity, the description should be more complete to compensate for the missing output 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% with descriptions on all 17 parameters, so the schema already documents each parameter. The description adds value by summarizing the filtering capabilities (status, assignees, tags, date ranges, ordering, subtasks, custom fields) and noting pagination. This provides a quick overview, but does not add meaning beyond what the schema provides, earning a baseline 3.
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 retrieves tasks in a specific List with rich filtering options. It enumerates filter types (status, assignees, tags, date ranges) and mentions ordering, subtasks, and custom-field filters. This distinguishes it from siblings like get_task (single task) and get_subtasks (subtasks only).
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 ends with 'Use when you know which List the tasks live in,' providing explicit context for when to use this tool. It implies not to use it when the list is unknown, though it does not mention sibling tools like get_sprint_tasks or get_view_tasks as alternatives.
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 cover behavioral traits. It states it 'Get' data (implying read-only) and describes return content, but does not mention permissions, rate limits, or confirmation of no side effects. Adequate but not fully transparent.
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 two sentences, efficiently conveying purpose and use case. It is front-loaded with the main action. Could be slightly more structured but is concise and clear.
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 simple with three parameters and no output schema. The description covers the purpose and use case but does not describe the return format or data structure, leaving the agent to infer. Adequate for basic usage.
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 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description reinforces that task_id is for a single task but adds no new parameter details beyond the schema. 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 returns time spent per status for a single task, including current duration. It specifically names the use case (analyze cycle time or stuck tasks) and differentiates from sibling 'get_bulk_tasks_time_in_status'.
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 to analyze cycle time or where a task is stuck.' It implies single-task usage vs. bulk alternative, but does not state when not to use or list alternatives beyond the sibling name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only indicates a read operation without mentioning pagination, error conditions, or response format. More detail is needed for safety.
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: first defines the action and result, second gives usage purpose. No redundant words; front-loaded with key information.
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 simple audit read tool with 2 parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose and parameters. However, it could mention the return format (list of changes) to be fully self-contained.
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 clear descriptions for both parameters. The description adds context like fallback behavior for team_id, but this is already in the schema. No additional parameter semantics beyond 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 retrieves change history of a time entry, specifying 'who edited it and what changed over time'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_time_entry and get_time_entries.
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 advises using the tool to 'audit edits to logged time', providing a clear use case. However, it does not mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It states basic behavior (revoke, return confirmation) but omits important details like required permissions, side effects, or error states.
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?
Single sentence plus plan note, concise and effective with no wasted 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 simple mutation with no output schema, the description adequately covers purpose and return value. Could be more complete with permissions or result details.
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 covers both parameters with descriptions; the tool description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema. Baseline score of 3 applies.
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 ('Revoke a guest's access to a List') and resource, distinguishing from sibling tools like remove_guest_from_folder and remove_guest_from_task.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides clear context for when to use ('Enterprise plan only') and the action, but lacks explicit guidance on 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.
- Behavior2/5
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 of behavioral disclosure. The description only mentions the mutex of sources and the file_name requirement, but fails to disclose important behaviors such as whether the operation is destructive, permissions needed, rate limits, file size restrictions, or what the successful response looks like. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: two sentences that efficiently convey the core action and critical usage constraints. There is no wasted text, and the important information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of 7 parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description is incomplete. It omits return values, prerequisites (e.g., task existence), authorization details, and parameter interdependence for custom_task_ids/team_id. The description only covers the source selection logic, leaving many potential gaps for an agent.
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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by clarifying the mutual exclusivity of source parameters (file_path, url, base64) and the conditional requirement for file_name. This goes beyond the schema's individual parameter descriptions, which do not express the relationship between them.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool attaches a file to a task, using a specific verb ('Attach') and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_task_attachments by focusing on the upload operation. The three source options are explicitly mentioned, making the purpose precise and unambiguous.
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 explicit usage rules: 'Provide exactly one source' and 'file_name is required when using base64.' This guides the agent on parameter selection. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternative tools (e.g., when to use list_task_attachments) or mention when not to use this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The description adds little beyond schema, mentioning optional toggles but no new semantics. 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 'Create a new Space in a Workspace' with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like create_folder by noting 'top-level area of work'.
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 advises 'Use to start a new top-level area of work', which implies when to use it. However, it does not explicitly exclude alternatives like create_folder or compare use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions that the tool creates a view and returns it, but fails to cover side effects, permissions, idempotency, or error conditions. The description is too terse for a creation tool with many options.
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 at four sentences, front-loading the purpose and key constraint. Every sentence contributes useful information without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (13 parameters, no output schema, many siblings), the description covers the core purpose and the one-parent constraint but lacks context on optional complex parameters, error handling, or view behavior. It is adequate but not rich.

Three sentences: main action, return value, next step. No wasted words, front-loaded with the key purpose. Highly concise and well-structured.
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 tool with 7 parameters and no output schema, the description covers creation, return value, and follow-up step. It doesn't explain workspace fallback or multiple_owners details, but schema covers those. Lacks only minor context about prerequisites.
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 schema descriptions already cover parameters. The description mentions optional due date, description, owners, and color but adds no new meaning beyond what's 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 'Create a new Goal in a Workspace' with specific verb and resource. It lists optional parameters and distinguishes from siblings like update_goal and create_key_result by mentioning the return value and suggesting next steps.
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?
Description gives clear context for when to use (creating a goal) and explicitly suggests using create_key_result for adding targets later. However, it lacks explicit exclusions or alternatives for when not to use this tool.
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 carries full burden. It correctly describes the creation action and what is reproduced, but lacks details on failure modes, required permissions, or side effects beyond the stated outcome.
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 extremely concise with two sentences: one for functionality and one for purpose. No wasted 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?
Given the complexity (4 parameters, nested object), the description covers the essential: what it creates, from what, and what it returns. Lacks error handling or prerequisites, but sufficient for typical use.
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 clear parameter descriptions. The tool description adds minimal extra value (e.g., mentioning optional tasks), so baseline 3 is appropriate.

Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's action: creating a List in a Folder from a List template, reproducing statuses, fields, and optionally tasks. It distinguishes itself from siblings like create_list_in_folder (no template) and create_folderless_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?
The description provides a clear use case: 'Use to spin up a standardized List layout.' While it doesn't explicitly list when not to use or mention alternatives, the context of sibling tools makes the intended usage evident.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description clarifies it is a mutation (creates a task) and returns the created object with its ID. However, it does not disclose side effects like notifications, rate limits, or dependencies. Given no annotations, more behavioral context would be helpful.
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.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 18 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the purpose, fields, and return value. It omits some nuances (e.g., markdown_content precedence over description) but is largely sufficient for selection and invocation.
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 the description adds little beyond listing field categories (e.g., 'parent for subtasks'). The schema already describes each parameter in detail, so the description meets the baseline but does not enhance semantics significantly.
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 'Create a new task in a List' with a specific verb and resource. It lists the settable fields, distinguishing it from siblings like update_task, create_bulk_tasks, and create_checklist.

Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implicitly indicates when to use (creating a single task) but does not explicitly state when not to use it (e.g., use update_task for modifications, create_bulk_tasks for multiple). 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.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, description must disclose behavior. It states it returns the created entry, which is good, but lacks details on validation, required permissions, or error conditions.
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: first defines the action, second gives use case. No redundant information, highly efficient.

Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says 'no live timer needed' and 'Use to log time after the fact,' guiding when to use this over live timer tools. Lacks explicit exclusions but provides clear context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description bears the full burden. It discloses that the tool is a write operation ('Create'), returns the created group with id and handle, and includes an initial set of members. However, it does not mention required permissions, error conditions, or side effects.
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 efficient sentences with no fluff. The first sentence states the action and return, the second adds context. Every part 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?
For a simple creation tool, the description covers the return value and use case adequately. With no output schema, it mentions the return fields. It could mention error handling or prerequisites, but overall is sufficient.
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 minimal value beyond the schema, only reaffirming the 'initial set of members' and the general purpose. The schema descriptions are already 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?
Clearly states the verb 'Create', the resource 'User Group (Team) in a Workspace', and the purpose of organizing people for mentions and bulk assignment. Distinguishes itself from siblings like update_user_group and list_user_groups.

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 'List', the resource 'custom task types', and the scope 'in a Workspace'. It also provides examples (Bug, Feature, Milestone) and mentions the return fields (id and name). This sufficiently distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_tasks or list_spaces.
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 states the primary use case: 'Use to find a custom_item_id when creating tasks of a specific type.' This gives clear guidance on when to use the tool. However, it does not provide explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tools, which would elevate it to a 5.
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 carries full burden. It discloses that the tool is a read operation (list) and describes the returned data, but does not mention pagination, rate limits, or behavior when folder_id is invalid. Adequate but lacks depth.

Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description compensates by listing the returned fields (ids, names, types, configuration). It covers the core functionality, but could mention if the list is paginated or if there are limitations. Still nearly complete for a discovery 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?
Schema coverage is 100% with a clear description of the 'folder_id' parameter. The tool description adds no additional semantics beyond the schema, 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 uses the specific verb 'List' and clearly identifies the resource as 'custom fields accessible at the Folder level', including the return fields (ids, names, types, configuration). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_list_custom_fields or get_space_custom_fields.
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?

Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that immediately conveys the tool's purpose and output. Every word is necessary, and there is no redundant information.
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 simple retrieval tool with only two parameters and no output schema, the description is fairly complete. It covers the action, resource, output fields, and plan restriction. However, it lacks details on error handling or behavior when the guest does not exist, which could be useful for an agent.
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, so the baseline is 3. The description adds that the guest_id is the 'numeric id', which aligns with the schema. It does not provide additional context beyond what the schema already offers, thus the description adds marginal value.

The description is two sentences: purpose first, then usage context. It is concise with zero wasted words, making it easy to parse quickly.
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 no output schema, the description hints at the return structure (id, name, type, visibility) and pagination. For a simple listing tool, this covers necessary context without being verbose.
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 context for pagination parameters ('cursor'/'limit') and implies 'team_id' refers to a workspace, but does not elaborate beyond the schema descriptions. Overall adequate but not exceptional.
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 lists chat channels in a workspace, specifying the returned attributes (id, name, type, visibility). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_chat_channel by being a list operation, and explicitly mentions its use for discovering channel_id before reading/sending messages.
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: 'Use to discover a channel_id before reading or sending messages.' It also notes pagination via cursor/limit. It does not explicitly exclude cases or name alternatives, but the use case is well-defined.
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 carries full burden. It discloses that folders are grouped by space and includes id, name, and lists. However, it does not mention pagination, ordering, or any side effects. The transparency 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?
Two concise sentences with zero waste. The first sentence states the action and result, the second provides context and usage. Front-loaded and 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 the tool's simplicity and lack of output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: what it does, what it returns, and how to use it (discover folder_id). It does not describe error handling but is sufficient for a list 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?
The schema has 100% description coverage, so the schema already explains both parameters. The description adds context about folders grouping lists but does not provide additional meaning beyond the schema. Baseline score of 3 applies.
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 lists all folders in a space and returns id, name, and contained lists. It uses specific verb 'list' and resource 'folders' with scope 'inside a Space', distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'get_folder' which retrieves a single folder.
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 to discover a folder_id', providing clear context for when to use the tool. It does not mention when not to use it or alternatives, but the guidance is direct 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?
No annotations provided, so description must cover behavior. It states returns fields (id, name, handle, member list) but does not disclose if any side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits. However, 'list' implies read-only, so adequate.
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, front-loaded with purpose and return values, followed by usage hint. No unnecessary words.

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 good descriptions. The tool description adds minimal extra meaning beyond schema (e.g., finding group_id). Baseline 3 is appropriate as description doesn't compensate for any missing schema info.
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 lists user groups (teams) with their members, using specific verb 'list' and resource 'user groups'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create/delete/update_user_group by its read-only nature.
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 states use case: 'Use to find a group_id before mentioning or assigning a group.' Does not explicitly say when not to use, but context implies it's for read-only retrieval, distinct from mutation siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses that tasks stay in original list and returns a per-task report, but misses details on partial failures, permissions, or rate limits.

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 this tool (for bulk adding tasks with multi-list association, tasks remain in original) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like add_task_to_list for single tasks.
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 discloses the action (clear/reset) and return value (confirmation with ids), but does not mention any side effects, permissions, or constraints. 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?

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 simple tool with high schema coverage and no output schema, the description covers the essential behavior and return. It would benefit from mentioning prerequisites (e.g., field must exist on the task) but is nearly 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 all parameters described, so the baseline is 3. The tool description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema; it only implicitly references the required parameters (task_id and field_id) via the action.
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 ('clear a custom field's value'), the resource ('task'), and the result ('resets to empty'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like set_custom_field_value by explicitly advising to 'use to unset a field rather than overwrite it.'
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 guidance on when to use this tool ('to unset a field rather than overwrite'), which differentiates it from set operations. However, it does not mention when not to use it or other alternatives beyond this contrast.
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?

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 low complexity (2 params, no output schema), description covers essential context: operation scope and return value. Could mention that list must be additional, but implied.
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 covers both parameters with descriptions. Description does not add parameter-specific details beyond what schema provides. Baseline 3 due to 100% schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the action (remove), resource (task from list), and specifies it applies only to additional lists, not the home list. Distinguishes from siblings like 'add_task_to_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 states when to use: for tasks added via 'Tasks in Multiple Lists'. Clarifies that the task remains in its home list, preventing misuse.
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 covers key behaviors: stops the timer, persists the interval, returns the completed entry, and handles the no-timer case with a no-op. It does not detail auth or rate limits but is otherwise transparent for a simple mutation.
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 that front-load the core action and immediately provide key details. Every sentence adds value with no redundancy.
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-optional-parameter tool with no output schema, the description explains the action, returned value (completed entry), and error condition. It is sufficient for an agent to use the tool correctly.
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%, baseline 3. The description adds the fallback behavior for team_id (defaults to CLICKUP_TEAM_ID), which is useful but minimal.
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?

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, it only says 'Returns a confirmation' without specifying format or errors, and does not address `custom_task_ids`/`team_id` parameters, leaving some gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds crucial context about the conditional requirement of `depends_on`/`dependency_of` and their relation to creation, exceeding the schema alone.
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 'Remove' and the resource 'blocking dependency between tasks', distinguishing it from siblings like 'add_task_dependency'.
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?
It explicitly instructs to provide the same `depends_on` or `dependency_of` used during creation and notes exactly one is required, offering good guidance for correct invocation.
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 the full burden. It discloses irreversibility ('cannot be undone'), that members are not deleted, and the return value (confirmation with group id). Could mention authorization or scope but is still strong.
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 extremely concise—three short sentences that each add essential information: the action, the effect on members, and the permanence plus return value. 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?
For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description is complete. It explains all relevant behavioral aspects (permanence, member preservation, confirmation) and aligns with the context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and the description adds minimal value beyond confirming that the parameter is an ID. The description does not introduce new semantic detail about the parameter.
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 ('Permanently delete'), the resource ('User Group'), and the key nuance that members are not deleted. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_user_group or update_user_group.
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 permanent deletion but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it provide prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses that deletion is permanent, cannot be undone, and only affects the View, not tasks. It also mentions the return value (confirmation with deleted View id). With no annotations, this provides sufficient behavioral context.
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, front-loaded with the key action and permanence, no redundant words. Every sentence adds essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description covers the return format. The parameter is fully described via schema. All behavioral aspects (irreversibility, scope) are addressed. Complete for a simple delete 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?
The input schema covers the parameter view_id with description 'ID of the View to delete.' The tool's description adds no additional semantic value beyond confirming the parameter is an ID. For 100% schema coverage, a baseline 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 action ('delete'), the resource ('View by id'), and specifies that only the saved View is affected, not the underlying tasks. This distinguishes it from sibling delete tools for other entities.
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 when you want to permanently delete a View, but does not explicitly state when or when not to use this tool, nor does it mention alternatives. However, the resource-specific naming partially compensates.
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 states the tool is read-only, paginated via cursor/limit, and returns specific fields (id, content, author, timestamp). This adequately discloses the behavior, though lacks details on rate limits or authentication requirements.
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: first states purpose and scope, second lists output fields and pagination method. Every sentence is essential, no wasted words, and the most important information is 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?
No output schema is provided, so the description must explain return values—it does by listing fields (id, content, author, timestamp). It also mentions pagination. For a simple read operation with good input schema coverage, this is 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 schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides—it restates the team_id fallback and message_id purpose, which are already in the schema descriptions. No new semantic information is added.
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 'List' and the resource 'threaded replies to a Chat message', specifying it's for ClickUp Chat v3. It also lists the returned fields, distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_chat_messages which list messages themselves.
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 retrieving replies to a specific message, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives like get_chat_messages or get_chat_message_reactions. No exclusion criteria are provided, so the agent must infer from context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It describes the tool as a read operation without stating it is non-destructive, but that is implicit from 'Get... metadata'. It does not disclose potential errors, rate limits, or side effects. The description adds some context beyond the tool name but is minimal.
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 extremely concise, consisting of two clear sentences. The first explains what the tool does; the second directs users to the alternative for content. No redundant words or information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 parameters, no nested objects, no output schema), the description adequately covers what is returned (title, parent location, settings) and the primary purpose. The parameter details are handled by the schema. The sibling differentiation is clearly stated. The description is complete for a tool of this complexity.
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 100%, with both parameters documented in the schema (team_id with fallback note, doc_id as required). The description does not add additional semantic meaning beyond what the schema already provides. 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 action ('Get'), the resource ('a single Doc's metadata'), the identifier ('by id'), and the API version ('ClickUp Docs v3'). It also specifies what metadata is included: title, parent location, and settings. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_doc_pages, which is explicitly mentioned for content retrieval.
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 directs users to use get_doc_pages for reading actual content when metadata is insufficient. This provides clear context for when to use this tool versus an alternative. No further exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned, but the guidance is sufficient for the simple use case.
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 must cover behavioral traits. It discloses the default return format (markdown) and the alternative (HTML) via the content_format parameter. However, it does not mention potential limitations such as pagination for very large docs, or whether the operation is read-only (assumed but not stated). The description is mostly 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 consists of three short sentences that are front-loaded with the core purpose. Every sentence adds value, and there is no redundancy or unnecessary detail.
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 lacks an output schema, and the description does not specify the structure of the returned data (e.g., whether it is an array of pages with title and content). It states the content format but not the overall response shape. Given the complexity of returning 'every page' with 'full content', more detail would be helpful for complete understanding.
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% documentation coverage, with each parameter's description fully explaining its purpose and defaults. The tool description adds no additional semantic information beyond what is already in the schema. Per guidelines, with high coverage, baseline is 3.
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 'Get', the resource 'every page of a Doc', and the scope 'full content'. It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'get_doc', 'get_doc_page', and 'get_doc_page_listing' by emphasizing that it retrieves all pages with content.
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 states 'Use to read an entire Doc at once', providing a clear when-to-use scenario. It does not include when-not-to-use or alternatives, but the sibling tool names and purposes can be inferred. Some explicit exclusions would elevate this to a 5.
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 provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses what is returned (folder name, lists with ids and task counts) but does not explicitly state it is read-only or mention any side effects, auth needs, or rate limits. However, as a get operation, behavior is mostly inferred.
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 wasted words. First sentence defines function and output, second provides use case. Efficient 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?
For a simple read operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential information: what it retrieves and when to use it. No major gaps for its complexity level.
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 'folder_id' described as 'ID of the Folder to fetch.' The description adds no additional meaning beyond 'by id,' which is already in the schema. Thus 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 retrieves a single Folder by id, including its name and the Lists it contains with their ids and task counts. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list_folders' and 'get_lists_in_folder' by focusing on a single folder and its contents.
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 states intended use: 'inspect a Folder or enumerate its Lists.' While it does not mention when not to use or provide direct alternatives, the use case is clearly communicated, and the context of sibling tools helps differentiate.
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 bears the full burden of behavioral transparency. It implies a read-only operation by describing it as listing data, but it does not explicitly state that it is non-destructive, nor does it disclose any side effects, auth requirements, or rate limits. The description 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, consisting of two sentences with no redundant information. The first sentence states the action and output, the second provides a practical usage. Every phrase 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?
For a simple list-fetching tool, the description covers the purpose, output fields, and usage context. The parameters are well-documented in the schema. No output schema exists, but the description states the return fields (id, name, task count). The tool is low complexity, and 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?
The input schema provides descriptions for both parameters (folder_id and archived), resulting in 100% schema coverage. The description adds the context of using folder_id to discover list_ids, but does not add further semantic detail beyond the schema. Baseline 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 action ('List all Lists inside a Folder') and the returned data (id, name, task count). It also includes a specific use case ('discover a list_id within a Folder'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_list or get_folderless_lists.
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 a clear usage context ('Use to discover a list_id within a Folder'). However, it does not mention when not to use this tool or suggest alternatives, such as find_list_by_name for filtering by name.
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 burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the returned fields but does not disclose error handling, permissions, rate limits, or idempotency. For a simple read operation, this is adequate but not fully 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 very concise: two sentences totaling about 15 words, with no unnecessary information. It is front-loaded with the core action and resource.
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 (single ID retrieval) and no output schema, the description sufficiently covers purpose, parameters, and return fields. It is complete for an agent to invoke this tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and both parameters have descriptions in the schema. The tool description adds context about the response (duration, start, user, task, tags) but does not add meaning beyond the schema for the parameters themselves. 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 'Get a single time entry by id', specifying the verb (get) and resource (time entry), and mentions what is included (duration, start, user, task, tags). This distinguishes it from siblings like get_time_entries (plural) and get_running_time_entry.
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 says 'Use to inspect one logged interval', which indicates the appropriate scenario. While it doesn't explicitly list when not to use or mention alternatives, it is clear enough for an agent to select this tool for single-entry inspection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It correctly states the tool lists all spaces in a workspace and returns specific fields, but it omits details about pagination, rate limits, or required permissions. The description is adequate for a read-only operation but lacks depth.
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 extremely concise: two sentences that front-load the action and output, then provide context and a use case. Every sentence serves a purpose with no 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 simplicity of the tool (2 optional params, no output schema, read-only), the description is complete. It explains the purpose, output, hierarchy context, and a typical use case. No missing information for an agent to use it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already provides clear descriptions for both parameters (team_id with fallback, archived with default). The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema offers, so it meets but does not exceed the baseline expectation for 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 clearly states the tool lists all spaces in a workspace with specific fields (id, name, privacy, enabled features). It distinguishes itself from siblings by mentioning the hierarchy and the use case of discovering space_id, making it clear this is different from get_space or other space-related tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly suggests using this tool to discover a space_id, providing a clear use case. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives like get_space for single space retrieval, which would strengthen the guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the mutation behavior ('Set or overwrite') and explains how value is interpreted per field type. However, it omits details about error handling when field type mismatches, permission requirements, or whether setting a value on a non-existent field creates it. This leaves gaps for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description consists of three concise sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence states the purpose, the second lists value shapes in a structured manner, and the third gives a clear usage hint. The information is front-loaded and easy to parse.
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 complexity (6 parameters, nested objects) and full schema coverage, the description provides near-complete context. It explains value shapes and the prerequisite lookup. However, it does not mention the optional `value_options` parameter, which is documented in the schema but not reinforced in the description. Since the schema covers it, this is a minor gap.
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?
Although schema coverage is 100%, the description adds critical meaning to the `value` parameter by enumerating the exact shape for each field type (primitive, option id, array of option ids, epoch ms, array of user ids). This information is not present in the schema description, which only cross-references the tool description. The added semantics are essential for correct invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Set (or overwrite)' and the resource 'a custom field's value on a task.' It also explains value shape by field type. However, there is a sibling tool 'set_task_custom_field_value' with almost identical name, and the description does not differentiate between them, slightly reducing clarity.
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 a clear prerequisite: 'Look up the field type first with one of the get_*_custom_fields tools.' This guides the agent on proper sequencing. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'remove_custom_field_value' or 'set_task_custom_field_value'.
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 carries full burden. It states that the tool renames and returns the updated Folder, but lacks deeper behavioral details like authentication or side effects. This is adequate for a simple operation but not rich.
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 extremely concise with three short, front-loaded sentences. No unnecessary words, and 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 low complexity, 2 parameters fully described in schema, and no output schema, the description explains the return value ('Returns the updated Folder') and purpose completely. No gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already explains both parameters. The description adds no extra parameter meaning beyond what's in the schema, resulting in a baseline score of 3.
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 'Rename a Folder' and 'change a Folder's display name', specifying the verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_folder or delete_folder by focusing on renaming.
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 context with 'Use to change a Folder's display name', but does not explicitly mention when not to use or alternatives. Since context is clear, it meets the criteria for a 4.
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 carries the full burden. It discloses the effect (blocking dependency) and the return (confirmation), but lacks details on error handling, permission requirements, or constraints like circular dependency prevention. This is adequate but not thorough.
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?
Three concise sentences: purpose, parameter usage, and return outcome. Every sentence adds value without redundancy. The information is front-loaded and easily parsed.
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 no output schema, the mention of 'Returns a confirmation' is sufficient. The description covers the primary behavior and the key parameter rule. Minor gaps exist, such as missing details on what the confirmation contains or when dependencies might fail, but overall it is complete enough for a straightforward mutation 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 100% with descriptions for all 5 parameters. The description adds value by clarifying the mutual exclusivity of depends_on and dependency_of, which is not evident from the schema alone. This helps the agent choose correctly.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create a blocking dependency') and the resource ('between tasks'). It also distinguishes from sibling tools like 'delete_task_dependency' and 'add_task_link' by specifying the exact role of depends_on and dependency_of.
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 key guidance: 'Exactly one is required' for the depends_on/dependency_of parameters, which is critical for correct invocation. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives or what prerequisites (e.g., existing tasks) are needed.
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 provided, so description carries full burden. Mentions that it may create or fetch existing channel and returns the DM channel, implying idempotency. Does not describe permissions or failure cases.
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, front-loaded with action and type, no redundant or unnecessary words. Highly 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 low complexity (2 params, no output schema), description covers purpose, usage, and return. Lacks error or rate limit info, but adequate for task.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with clear descriptions. Description adds value by explaining the fallback behavior for team_id and clarifying that user_ids can be for 1:1 or group DM, surpassing baseline.
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 action (create or fetch), resource (DM channel), and scope (with one or more users). Distinguishes from sibling create_chat_channel by mentioning 'direct-message' and 'private message'.
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 before sending a private message to specific people.' Provides clear context, though doesn't explicitly exclude alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description states it returns the created List with its id, but lacks details on side effects, error handling, or permissions. Without annotations, the description carries the burden and could be more thorough.
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?
Single sentence with key purpose upfront, no redundant information. Efficient and well-structured.
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 8 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the core purpose and key optional settings. Could mention uniqueness constraints or behavior on error, but sufficient for a create 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 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by summarizing optional fields like description, due date, priority, default assignee, and status, providing context 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?
Description clearly states the tool creates a List directly under a Space, not inside any Folder. The verb 'create' and resource 'List' are specific, and it differentiates from siblings like create_list_in_folder.
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?
Description implies usage when a List should be in a Space without a Folder. It does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives, but the context is clear that this is for folderless creation.
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 the full burden. It discloses the tool creates and returns a key result, and mentions the optional linking to tasks/lists for automatic tracking. This provides sufficient behavioral context, though permissions or side effects are not covered.
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 short sentences with no redundancy. The first sentence states the purpose, the second gives parameter guidance, the third optional features, and the fourth the return value. Ideal front-loading and structure.
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 9 parameters and no output schema, the description covers key points: purpose, parameter selection, and return. It does not detail every parameter, but the schema does that. Lacks explanation of 'automatic tracking' mechanics, but overall sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining how to choose parameters based on measurement type (e.g., 'for numeric types, the start/end steps and unit') and linking to tasks/lists. This goes beyond the 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 adds a key result (a measurable target) to a Goal. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_goal or update_key_result by specifying the action and resource. The verb 'Add' and the target 'key result' are precise.
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 (to add a key result to a Goal) but does not explicitly state when not to use or mention prerequisites like the Goal must exist. No alternatives are discussed, which is acceptable given the clarity but could be improved.
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 carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool can optionally assign the reply and notify watchers, and that it returns the created reply's id. However, it does not discuss permissions, whether the action is reversible, or any rate limits. For a mutation tool, this 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?
Two concise sentences. The first immediately states the core function. The second adds optional behaviors and return value. No filler. Perfectly front-loaded and 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?
The description covers the main action, the optional parameters, and the return value (ID). Missing context includes prerequisites (parent comment must exist), potential errors, and permission requirements. For a simple tool with no output schema, this is largely complete but could be slightly more thorough.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the optional assignment and notification behaviors ('Optionally assign the reply and notify watchers'), which clarifies the purpose of the assignee and notify_all parameters beyond their 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's purpose: replying to an existing comment to create a threaded response. It specifies the verb (reply), resource (existing comment), and result (returns reply id). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_task_comment (top-level) or get_threaded_comments (read).
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 usage context: you need an existing comment_id to reply to. It does not explicitly state when not to use or name alternatives, but the context of 'reply' and 'threaded response' is clear enough to guide an agent. A small gap is the lack of explicit exclusion for top-level comments.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses that the webhook will POST to an HTTPS endpoint and returns the webhook with id and signing secret. However, it omits details about permissions, validation, or failure modes, which would improve transparency. Overall adequate but not detailed.
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 two concise sentences. The first sentence states the core action and scoping options; the second mentions the return value. No redundant information, well front-loaded, and every word contributes.
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 no output schema, the description covers the return value. It addresses the key parameters (required endpoint and events, optional scopes) and their aggregate behavior. Missing error handling or prerequisites, but for a create tool with many optional params, it is reasonably 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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining scoping behavior ('omit all scopes to watch the whole Workspace') and that the return includes a signing secret. This goes beyond the individual parameter 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's purpose: creating a webhook that POSTs event payloads. It specifies the resource (webhook) and action (create), and distinguishes from siblings like update_webhook or delete_webhook by focusing on creation and mentioning optional scoping.
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 guidance on when to use scoping options ('optionally scope it to a single space, folder, list or task; omit all scopes to watch the whole Workspace'). It does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like create_task or other creation tools, but for a webhook creation tool, this is sufficient context.
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 fully covers key behavioral traits: permanent deletion, irreversibility, and return of confirmation with ID. It could add authorization or rate limit details, but the core destructive nature is 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?

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?
The description covers return value and plan restriction. It lacks explicit mention of when to use this versus other guest removal tools, but sibling names and 'entirely' infer the distinction. Without an output schema, it adequately explains what to expect.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add details about the parameters (team_id, guest_id) beyond what the schema already 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 clearly states the action: remove a guest from a Workspace entirely, revoking all access. It distinguishes from sibling tools like remove_guest_from_folder, which only partially remove access.
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 mentions the 'Enterprise plan only' restriction, which is a key usage guideline. It implicitly advises using this for full removal, but does not explicitly contrast with partial removal 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?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden. It discloses that the tag is not deleted from the Space, that it returns a confirmation, and that it operates on a single task. This covers the main behavioral traits. It does not mention error states or idempotency, but for a simple removal this is adequate.
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 extremely concise: two sentences with no fluff. The first sentence states the primary action and key behavioral nuance (not deleting the tag). The second sentence provides a usage directive. Every sentence earns its place, and the structure is 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 no output schema, the description mentions 'Returns a confirmation,' which gives some expectation of return. It covers purpose, behavior, and usage. For a simple two-required-parameter mutation, this is fairly complete. It could be improved by noting that the tag remains available for re-use, but that is implicit from 'without deleting the tag from the Space.'
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 schema coverage is 100% with clear descriptions for all four parameters. The description adds no additional parameter details beyond what is already in the schema. According to guidelines, when schema coverage is high (>80%), a score of 3 is baseline. The description's mention of 'single task' reinforces the role of task_id and tag_name but does not add new information.
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 ('remove a tag from a task') and the resource ('tag from a task'). It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'delete_space_tag' (which deletes the tag entirely) and 'remove_tags_from_time_entries' (which operates on time entries), making the purpose specific and unambiguous.
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 includes explicit guidance: 'Use to untag a single task.' It also clarifies that the tag is not deleted from the Space, hinting that for tag deletion a different tool is needed. While it doesn't list explicit alternatives, the context from sibling tools and the description's clarity provide sufficient guidance for when to use this 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?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses read behavior, returned fields, and pagination. No mention of rate limits or auth, but as a read operation it is transparent enough.

Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool 'Search or list Docs in a Workspace' and specifies it returns 'ids, titles and locations'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_doc' (single doc retrieval) and 'get_doc_pages' (pages within doc).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit use cases: 'find a doc_id by keyword or browse Docs under a parent' and mentions pagination. No exclusions or alternative tools stated, but context is sufficient for basic selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool sets/overwrites a value, and that the value shape depends on field type. However, it lacks details on error conditions, permissions, or confirmation behavior, which is a gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, each adding value. First sentence states the action. Second provides critical usage guidance. No redundant information. Properly 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 the complexity of the tool (6 parameters, dynamic value shape) and no output schema, the description covers the main concerns: action, value dependency, and prerequisite lookup. It could mention that existing values are overwritten, but that is already implied. Overall sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful context for the 'value' parameter by explaining that its shape depends on field type and suggesting to look up the type. This goes beyond the schema description, which references the tool description itself.
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 states 'Set (or overwrite) a custom field's value on a task' which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like 'remove_custom_field_value' and 'get_*_custom_fields' by focusing on setting the value, and it clarifies the overwrite behavior.
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 instructs to 'Look up the type with a get_*_custom_fields tool first', providing clear guidance on prerequisite knowledge. It does not explicitly state when not to use, but the purpose is clear given sibling context.
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 provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool mutates (update), supports partial updates (only provided fields change), and returns the updated channel. Lacks details on permissions or side effects, but adequate for an update tool.
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 efficient sentences; front-loaded with purpose and scope. No redundant information. Every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 7 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential operation, partial update behavior, return value, and example fields. Minor missing details like team_id fallback and error handling, but overall sufficient.
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 clear descriptions for each parameter (e.g., 'Omit to keep current'). The description adds the overarching concept of partial updates but does not significantly enhance individual parameter semantics 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?
Description clearly states the verb 'Update', the resource 'Chat channel', and the specific fields (name, description, topic, visibility, archived state). It distinguishes from sibling 'create_chat_channel' by specifying it's an update operation. The phrase 'Only the provided fields change' adds precision.
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?
Implies usage for updating a chat channel's properties, with the note 'Only the provided fields change' guiding partial updates. No explicit when-not-to-use or alternatives, but sibling tools are for different entities, making the context 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?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the mutation (update) and return (updated tag), but lacks information on authorization, rate limits, error handling, or side effects. The identification method is mentioned, which adds some transparency.

The description clearly states 'Post a new comment on a List' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_task_comment by specifying 'List-level' and noting it's for notes not belonging to a specific task.
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 context on when to use: 'Use for List-level notes that don't belong to a specific task.' This indirectly helps differentiate from task-level comments. However, it doesn't explicitly mention when not to use or name 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?
Discloses that deletion is permanent and cannot be undone, and specifies that all Lists and tasks inside are deleted. With no annotations provided, this adequately informs the agent of the tool's irreversible nature.
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 front-load the essential action and consequences. No extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple delete operation with one parameter and no output schema, the description fully covers necessary information: purpose, scope, permanence, and confirmation.
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 has 100% coverage with a single parameter. The description adds context beyond the schema by explaining the parameter's effect (deleting folder and all contents).
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 is to permanently delete a Folder and all contents, distinguishing it from sibling tools like delete_list by specifying the scope (Lists and tasks inside).
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?
