MITRE ATT&CK MCP Server

Server Quality Checklist

Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

Latest release: v0.1.3
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct ATT&CK entity or relationship. No two tools have identical purposes; even closely related tools differ by input parameters or entity type, ensuring clear separation.
Naming Consistency4/5
Most tools follow a consistent 'verb_noun' pattern (e.g., get_all_*, search_*, generate_layer). A minor inconsistency exists with both 'get_software' and 'get_all_software' having overlapping functionality, but overall the naming is predictable.
Tool Count3/5
65 tools is high but appropriate for the comprehensive ATT&CK framework. The tool set covers many entity types and relationships, though some consolidation could reduce redundancy without losing functionality.
Completeness5/5
The tool set covers all major ATT&CK entities (techniques, groups, software, campaigns, etc.) and their relationships, plus utility tools for layer generation, search, and object resolution. No obvious gaps in the surface.
Average 4.2/5 across 65 of 65 tools scored. Lowest: 2.7/5.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It describes the output structure and explains the nature of revoked techniques (read-only). However, it lacks details on authorization requirements, side effects, or performance considerations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short and front-loaded with the core purpose. The code block for return format is useful and well-structured. No extraneous sentences.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given two undocumented parameters and many sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It lacks parameter documentation and fails to provide enough context for an agent to use the tool correctly without prior knowledge.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds no meaning to parameters. It mentions 'domain' in the first sentence but does not explain that it defaults to 'enterprise' or what values are accepted. The include_description parameter is entirely undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool retrieves revoked techniques for a domain, and explains what revoked techniques are. It distinguishes itself from other tools by specifying a subset (revoked) but does not explicitly differentiate from siblings that may also return lists.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_all_techniques or get_technique_by_id. It does not provide context for appropriate usage or exclusions.
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?
Beyond annotations (none provided), the description discloses the two operational modes, fallback logic, and the addition of a debug block. However, it does not mention side effects, authentication requirements, or rate limits. For a read-only tool, this is adequate but incomplete.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is relatively concise and well-structured, using clear sections for primary and fallback modes. It avoids unnecessary verbiage, though the bullet list could be slightly more compact.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema or annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not describe the return format, debug block content, or clarify 'same structure as before'. Parameter descriptions are absent, leaving major gaps for invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the tool description does not explain any of the three parameters ('domain', 'technique_stix_id', 'include_description'). The description discusses data source resolution but not parameter meaning or usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it retrieves data components that detect a specific technique. It specifies the resource ('data components') and verb ('Get'), and distinguishes from reverse tools like get_techniques_detected_by_datacomponent. The primary and fallback modes are outlined.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains two modes (primary and fallback) with conditions for use. It details fallback logic when relationship traversal yields zero results. However, it does not explicitly mention when to use this tool versus its reverse counterpart, leaving some ambiguity.
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. The description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as side effects, authentication requirements, rate limits, or idempotency. It only states that the tool returns procedure examples, which is minimal 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.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with only a few lines. It includes a docstring summarizing parameters and return value. However, it could be more structured (e.g., separating usage from return format). No fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 3 parameters and an output schema (provided in the description), the description is fairly complete. It explains the purpose, parameters, and return format. It could mention valid domain values, but overall adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It lists the parameters in a docstring but does not explain what values are valid for domain (e.g., 'enterprise', 'mobile') or what include_description truly does. The description adds little beyond the parameter names and types.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves procedure examples for a specific technique, with a verb 'Get' and resource 'procedure examples by technique'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_procedure_examples_by_tactic by specifying 'by technique' in the name and description.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is used for looking up procedure examples for a given technique, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., get_procedure_examples_by_tactic) or provide any exclusions. No guidance is given on prerequisites or 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 states the tool returns all tactics and includes the output structure with a 'found' flag for missing techniques. It does not mention any side effects, but as a read-only operation this is acceptable. However, it could be more explicit about the behavior when no technique is found.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise. It uses two short paragraphs and a clear Args/Returns structure. Every sentence adds information without redundancy. It is front-loaded with the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description provides a detailed return structure. It covers the three parameters and the overall purpose. It lacks guidance on when to use this over similar sibling tools, but for its own functionality it is complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, so the description is the sole source. Each parameter is described with its type and purpose: technique_stix_id includes the expected UUID format, domain lists valid values, and include_description explains its boolean meaning. Defaults are not repeated but are implied by the schema. This adds value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves tactics for a specific technique. The verb 'get' and resource 'tactics' are specific. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from the very similar sibling 'get_technique_tactics', which could cause confusion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_technique_tactics' or 'get_techniques_by_tactic'. There are no exclusions or context-specific recommendations.
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 disclose behavior. It explains that the helper returns a list of RelationshipEntry[Mitigation] requiring unwrapping, and provides the full response schema. This is sufficient for a read-only query with no 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.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is 7 lines, includes a somewhat technical reference to 'list[RelationshipEntry[Mitigation]]', and could be more concise. However, it is front-loaded with the primary purpose and uses clear language.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the output schema is provided, the description's inclusion of the return structure adds value but does not compensate for missing parameter descriptions. The tool is simple (read-only, few parameters), so completeness is adequate but not exemplary.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage of parameters is 0%—the description adds no information about 'technique_stix_id', 'domain', or 'include_description' beyond their names and defaults. The description does not clarify expected formats, constraints, or usage patterns for these parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description explicitly states 'Get all mitigations that address a specific technique', providing a clear verb (Get), resource (mitigations), and scope (for a specific technique). This distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_all_mitigations' (all mitigations) and 'get_techniques_mitigated_by_mitigation' (reverse mapping).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for a specific technique but provides no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor does it reference alternative tools from the sibling list. The context is implied but not explicitly stated.
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 details the steps (lookup by ID, extract phases, return names) and the return format, but does not disclose behavior for edge cases (e.g., technique not found, invalid ID). With no annotations, the description carries the burden, and it partially addresses transparency but leaves gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with clear sections (brief intro, steps, Args, Returns). It is informative without being overly verbose, though it could be slightly more concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description covers input parameters and return structure adequately. It includes a message field for status but does not detail error handling or performance characteristics, keeping it reasonably complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Despite the reported 0% schema coverage, the description adds significant meaning: it specifies the format of technique_id with examples and enumerates the allowed domains. This compensates for the schema's minimal information and provides actionable guidance for parameter values.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves tactic names for a given ATT&CK technique. However, it does not distinguish itself from the sibling tool 'get_tactics_by_technique', which likely serves the same purpose. Therefore, while purpose is clear, differentiation is missing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_tactics_by_technique' or 'get_techniques_by_tactic'. The description lacks context for optimal usage, prerequisites, or exclusions.
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 implies a read-only retrieval by describing it as returning a template, but does not explicitly state side effects (none) or permissions required. The transparency is adequate but could be more explicit about non-destructive behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and well-structured, with a clear purpose statement followed by an Args/Returns section. Every sentence adds value, and the key information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one optional parameter) and the presence of an output schema in the description, the description covers the parameter, return format, and use case. It is complete enough for a metadata retrieval tool, though it omits error conditions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, but the description's Args section explains the domain parameter with valid values ('enterprise', 'mobile', 'ics') and default. This adds meaningful guidance beyond the bare schema, though it lacks formal enum constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it returns a standard ATT&CK Navigator layer metadata template and explains its contents (version info, gradient settings, etc.). It distinguishes from siblings like generate_layer by implying this is a base template for building custom layers, though not explicitly naming alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates when to use (building custom layers programmatically) but does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternative tools like generate_layer. It provides usage context but lacks exclusions.
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 bear the full burden. It implies a read-only operation via 'Get' and documents return format, but does not disclose authentication needs, rate limits, or side effects. Adequate but not exhaustive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with a header sentence, parameter list, and return schema. It is informative without unnecessary fluff, though the return schema is somewhat lengthy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity and presence of an output schema (documented in description), the description covers purpose, parameters, and return format. It lacks error handling or rate limit info, but is sufficient for basic usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description adds detailed parameter documentation: platform examples, domain values, and include_description semantics. This significantly compensates for the schema gap, though it could provide more constraint information.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get all ATT&CK techniques that apply to a specific platform,' using a specific verb and resource. It differentiates from sibling tools like get_technique_by_id or get_techniques_by_tactic by focusing on platform filtering.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_techniques_by_tactic or search_techniques. It does not specify prerequisites or excluded 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 carries full burden. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, data freshness, authentication requirements, or side effects. The verb 'get' implies read-only, but this is not explicitly stated. The return format is described but that is expected.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with a short summary, an Args section, and a Returns section. It is concise without unnecessary detail, though the Returns section could be more integrated.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema in the description and the existence of sibling tools, the description is largely complete. It lacks guidance on when to use this tool over its reverse counterpart, but the core functionality and return structure are well covered.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds meaningful information beyond the schema for all three parameters: it explains 'asset_stix_id' as the STIX ID of the ICS asset, 'domain' with default 'ics', and 'include_description' as whether to include descriptions. This compensates for the schema's minimal titles.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get all techniques that target a specific ICS asset' and elaborates with 'Shows which adversary techniques can affect a given industrial control system component.' This specific verb-resource combination distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'get_assets_targeted_by_technique' and 'get_all_techniques'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by stating the function, but does not explicitly contrast with siblings like the reverse tool 'get_assets_targeted_by_technique' or provide when-not-to-use context. The presence of siblings in the list does not compensate for lack of explicit guidance.
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 thoroughly describes the return structure including optional fields and the formatted/message fields. It implicitly indicates read-only by the 'get' verb, but could explicitly state no side effects. The output schema adds transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with clear sections (intro, Args, Returns) and uses bullet points for the return schema. It is front-loaded with the main purpose. Minor redundancy with the definition of mitigations, but overall concise for the information provided.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple nature of the tool (listing) and the presence of an output schema, the description is fairly complete. It covers all parameters and return fields. Does not mention error handling or invalid domain behavior, but that is acceptable for a basic query tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, but the description compensates with an explicit Args section explaining each parameter's purpose and expected values (e.g., domain options, boolean effects). This adds value beyond the bare schema which only provides names and defaults.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it retrieves all mitigations in a domain, with a brief definition of mitigations. While it distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_mitigations_mitigating_technique by being a broad listing, it does not explicitly contrast with other get_all_* tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for listing all mitigations but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus more specific tools (e.g., get_mitigations_mitigating_technique). 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?
No annotations provided, so description must bear full transparency burden. It documents the return structure in detail but does not disclose potential side effects, limitations (e.g., pagination, performance), or error conditions. 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Concise yet detailed. Returns inline specifies output structure, saving space. No redundant sentences. Well-organized.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Output schema covers return values well. Parameter semantics are partially covered. Overall, adequate for basic use but incomplete for advanced usage scenarios (e.g., no guidance on `domain` values).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains `timestamp` format but does not clarify `domain` (default 'enterprise') or `include_description` (default true). Missing parameter details reduce effectiveness.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the verb 'Get', resource 'ATT&CK objects', and condition 'created after a specific timestamp'. Distinguishes from sibling tools like `get_objects_modified_after` by focusing on creation time.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit usage context: 'Useful for detecting new additions to the framework.' Includes format requirement for timestamp. Does not explicitly state when not to use or compare to alternatives, but gives enough guidance for typical use.
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 indicates a read operation ('Get') and describes the return structure fully. However, it does not disclose any potential side effects, rate limits, or permissions required. For a read-only tool, this is adequate but not exceptional.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured as a Python docstring with clear Args and Returns sections. It is concise yet informative, with no unnecessary words. Every sentence adds value, and the return schema is provided without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity (3 parameters, 1 required, no nested objects) and the presence of an output schema in the description, the description is fairly complete. It covers inputs, outputs, and behavior. However, it could be improved by mentioning any constraints or edge cases, such as what happens if the parent technique has no subtechniques.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It does so by explaining each parameter: technique_stix_id as 'STIX UUID of the parent technique', domain as 'ATT&CK domain', and include_description as 'Whether to include subtechnique descriptions'. This adds significant meaning beyond the parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Get all subtechniques of a parent technique' clearly specifies the action (Get) and the resource (subtechniques of a parent technique). It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'get_all_subtechniques' and 'get_parent_technique_of_subtechnique' by explicitly targeting a parent technique.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It gives no context for when not to use it or which sibling tools to choose instead. The purpose is clear, but usage context is missing.
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 return format in detail, which is helpful. However, it does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, requires authentication, or has any side effects. For a straightforward read operation, this is adequate but not exhaustive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is highly concise: a one-line summary followed by structured Args and Returns sections. Every sentence adds value, and the most critical information (the action) is front-loaded. No fluff or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given 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 fully covers the input parameters and provides a detailed return structure including types and field names. It explains the 'found' field and formatted output. Minor gap: no example of expected UUID format for matrix_stix_id, but overall complete for the tool's complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the schema titles provide minimal meaning. The description compensates by explicitly explaining each parameter in the Args block (matrix_stix_id, domain, include_description), including default values and expected format hints. This adds significant meaning beyond the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get all ATT&CK tactics'), the resource ('tactics'), and the constraint ('belonging to a specific matrix'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_all_tactics (no filter) and get_tactics_by_technique (different filter).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention when not to use it. There is no mention of prerequisites or fallback options. Given the many sibling tools, this lack of guidance is a significant gap.
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 for behavioral disclosure. It does not mention side effects, permissions, rate limits, or safety profile. While the return schema is given, the agent learns nothing about destructive potential or required access levels for this read-like operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured: a one-sentence summary, a contextual line about Navigator mapping, three clear examples, then bulleted Args and Returns. Every line adds value without redundancy. It is appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 3 parameters and an output schema provided, the description covers the essential information. The examples are helpful. It could be enhanced by noting that it requires an internet connection or that results are based on the latest ATT&CK release, but current completeness is good.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, but the description's docstring fully documents each parameter: tactic (string), domain (with default 'enterprise' and allowed values implied), and include_description (boolean, default true). This adds significant meaning beyond the bare JSON schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description starts with a clear verb-resource pair ('Get all techniques associated with a specific ATT&CK tactic') and explicitly names the resource (tactic). It distinguishes from siblings like get_all_techniques and get_techniques_by_platform by focusing on tactic-based retrieval, and the examples reinforce this specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides usage examples for common tactics but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., search_techniques, get_techniques_by_platform). The mention of 'Navigator-style mapping' hints at a specific underlying data structure but lacks explicit guidance on exclusions 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?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It details the return structure and parameter effects but does not state that the tool is read-only, has no side effects, or mention any rate limits or authentication needs. The returned output schema is well-described, but the missing safety profile leaves some ambiguity.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is front-loaded with the purpose, then clearly separates Args and Returns. While the return structure is lengthy, it is justified by the presence of an output schema. Every sentence adds value, but minor redundancy exists (e.g., repeating 'null' in multiple places).
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and no schema descriptions, the description is quite complete: it covers all parameters, the full return object, and status fields. It lacks error handling info and prerequisites, but for a read-only reverse lookup tool, this is sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. The 'Args' section explains all three parameters: technique_stix_id (with example format), domain (with valid values), and include_description (as boolean). This adds substantial meaning beyond the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it retrieves all campaigns using a specific technique, and explicitly labels it a reverse lookup (Technique → Campaigns). This distinguishes it from siblings like get_campaigns_attributed_to_group or get_campaigns_using_software.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use this tool (to find campaigns by technique) but does not explicitly specify when not to use it or compare to alternatives. The phrase 'reverse lookup' provides some guidance, but lacks exclusions or context for selection among many sibling 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 the return structure in detail and explains arguments, but it does not mention any behavioral traits such as idempotency, error handling, permissions, or rate limits. For a read-only get operation, this is adequate but not exceptional.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured: a clear one-sentence purpose, a brief explanation, then separate 'Args' and 'Returns' sections. While the return block is long, it is necessary due to the absence of a separate output schema. No superfluous text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's moderate complexity (3 parameters, no enums, no formal output schema), the description covers purpose, all parameters, and the full return structure. It lacks notes on error conditions or edge cases (e.g., invalid STIX ID), but for a straightforward lookup tool, it is largely complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, yet the description provides an 'Args' section that explains each parameter (campaign_stix_id, domain with allowed values, include_description) and their defaults. This adds significant meaning beyond the raw schema, compensating for the lack of schema descriptions. Baseline for 3 parameters is 3, but the description elevates it to 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves APT groups attributed to a specific campaign, explicitly labels it as a 'reverse lookup: Campaign → Groups', and distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_campaigns_attributed_to_group (the opposite direction). The verb 'Get' and resource 'APT groups' 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 Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use it (when you have a campaign STIX ID and want groups) via the 'reverse lookup' phrasing, but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternative tools for other scenarios (e.g., get_groups_using_software for software-based lookups).
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. It describes the search operation and return structure, but does not disclose side effects, permissions, or failure modes. It is adequate but not exhaustive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with a clear summary followed by structured Args and Returns sections. It is front-loaded and efficient, though the documentation of returns partially overlaps with the output schema.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 3 parameters and an output schema, the description is fairly complete: it explains purpose, parameters, return structure, and the context of aliases. It does not cover edge cases but is sufficient for an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description provides an 'Args:' section that explains each parameter (alias, domain, include_description) beyond just the parameter names. This adds meaningful context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Find software/malware by alias' and explains that it searches the software catalog for alias matches. This is specific verb+resource and distinguishes from siblings like 'get_all_software' or 'search_software'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when searching by an alias, noting that many tools have multiple names. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_groups_by_alias' or 'get_campaigns_by_alias', nor does it provide exclusions.
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 return structure via an output schema and describes parameter effects. However, it does not mention any behavioral traits such as permissions, rate limits, or side effects (though the tool is read-only, this is 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with a clear purpose followed by Args in a bullet-like format and a Returns block. Every sentence contributes value; no unnecessary text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool complexity (3 parameters, many siblings, output schema provided), the description covers the essential aspects: purpose, parameters, and return structure. It lacks explicit usage guidance against siblings, but the output schema compensates for return value clarity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds meaning by explaining each parameter (domain: ATT&CK domain with allowed values; remove_revoked_deprecated: exclude deprecated; include_description: include descriptions). This goes beyond the schema's names and defaults.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'Get all ATT&CK techniques for a given domain', which is a specific verb+resource combination. It includes the domain parameter and optional filters, clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools that target specific subsets like techniques by tactic or platform.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. Context implies it's for targeted asset retrieval, but doesn't mention alternatives like get_all_assets for broader queries.
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?
Provides timestamp format requirement and full output schema, but no annotations exist; lacks disclosure on side effects or authentication, which are minimal for a read operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Concise with front-loaded purpose, usage hint, format note, and structured output schema. Every sentence adds value.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description provides meaning beyond the input schema by explaining each parameter in the Args section: datacomponent_stix_id with an example format, domain with default value, and include_description as a boolean. However, it does not enumerate domain options, and the coverage of schema descriptions is 0%, so the description compensates well but could be more precise.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get all techniques that can be detected by a specific data component') and specifies the resource (techniques detected by a data component). It distinguishes itself from siblings like 'get_datacomponents_detecting_technique' which is the reverse operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context (e.g., when you need techniques for a specific data component) but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_all_techniques' or 'get_techniques_by_tactic'. No when-not or exclusion conditions are given.

Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description begins with 'Get all software/malware used in a specific campaign,' clearly stating the verb and resource. This distinguishes it from siblings like get_software_used_by_group and get_campaigns_using_software, which target different entities.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lacks explicit context on prerequisites (e.g., needing a campaign STIX ID) or situations where other tools like get_campaigns_using_software would be more appropriate.
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 cover behavioral traits. It explains parameters and return format but omits details like rate limits, auth requirements, or side effects. The 'primarily ICS' hint is useful but incomplete for full transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is well-structured with Args and Returns sections, but slightly verbose. Could be more concise, but still efficient for a 3-param tool with output schema.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given low complexity, presence of output schema, and clear parameter explanations, the description is complete. It covers what the tool does, how to use it, and what to expect in return.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description compensates by explaining each parameter (domain recommendation, removing revoked, including description). The Args section adds meaningful context beyond the schema's default values.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it retrieves all ATT&CK assets in a domain, primarily ICS. The verb 'Get all' and resource 'assets' are specific, and it distinguishes from siblings like 'get_assets_targeted_by_technique' which is a different operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description recommends 'ics' domain and clarifies the tool is for assets. While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use, the context is clear and no direct alternative exists among siblings for fetching all assets.
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 responsibility. It details the return format and relationships covered ('uses'), but does not mention behavioral traits such as read-only nature, permission requirements, or side effects. The detailed output schema partly mitigates this, but explicit safety or behavioral notes are missing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with clear sections (Args, Returns). While the inclusion of the entire output schema is helpful, it makes the description somewhat lengthy. The first paragraph is concise and front-loaded with the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that an output schema is provided within the description, the tool is fairly complete: it covers input parameters, return structure, and the relationship direction. However, it omits discussion of prerequisites, error handling, or edge cases (e.g., no groups found), which would enhance completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has only titles and defaults, with no parameter descriptions. The description's 'Args' section adds crucial meaning: it explains that software_stix_id expects a UUID with a specific prefix, domain lists valid options, and include_description clarifies its boolean purpose. This fully compensates for the schema's lack of descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get all APT groups (intrusion sets) that use a specific software/malware' and identifies it as a 'reverse lookup: Software → Groups'. The verb is specific, the resource is well-defined, and the direction distinguishes it from siblings like get_groups_using_technique or get_software_used_by_group.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains the reverse lookup direction, which implicitly guides when to use this tool (when you have a software and want groups). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare to alternatives like get_software_used_by_group, which serves the opposite direction.
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 exist, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the lookup process, partial matching, and output structure. However, it does not explicitly state that the operation is read-only or has no side effects, which is minor given the clear intent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with clear sections for purpose, steps, args, and output. It is somewhat lengthy but each part serves a purpose. Minor redundancy in args list versus schema.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, the description adequately covers return values. It lacks details on error handling (e.g., group not found) but the output includes a 'found' boolean. Overall, it is sufficiently complete for a retrieval tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully explains all three parameters, their defaults, and the group_name lookup semantics. This adds essential meaning beyond the schema's property titles.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for group techniques but does not explicitly guide when to choose this over alternatives. No exclusions or comparisons to sibling tools are provided, leaving the agent to infer 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 are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool returns a structured object (subtechnique_stix_id, subtechnique_attack_id, parent object, formatted, message) and may return null for missing parents. This gives a good understanding of the tool's output, though it omits error handling details (e.g., invalid STIX ID).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured: a one-line purpose, an 'Args' section, and a 'Returns' section. It is front-loaded with the core action. However, the Returns section includes the full JSON structure which is somewhat lengthy; it could be slightly more concise by summarizing the return format without the full JSON example.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the schema richness (3 parameters, 1 required) and presence of an output schema (described), the description covers all aspects: parameters, return structure, and a fallback (null). However, it does not provide examples, error cases, or mention any prerequisites (e.g., the subtechnique must exist). It is adequate but not exhaustive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema parameter description coverage is 0%, so the description fully compensates by explaining each parameter: 'technique_stix_id: STIX UUID of the subtechnique', 'domain: ATT&CK domain', 'include_description: Whether to include the parent's description', including defaults. This adds complete meaning beyond the raw schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's function: 'Get the parent technique of a subtechnique.' This is a specific verb+resource pair that distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'get_subtechniques_of_technique' (reverse operation) and 'get_all_parent_techniques' (different scope).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly mention when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the purpose is clear, there is no guidance on when not to use it or how it compares to sibling tools like 'get_all_parent_techniques' or 'get_subtechniques_of_technique'. The context signals only provide the sibling list without differentiation.
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 exist, so the description carries full burden. It discloses that revoked/deprecated entries are excluded and details the return format, providing behavioral context beyond the input schema.

It details the underlying mechanism (following 'uses' relationships) and provides a complete return format including group, count, software with nested relationships. Missing potential constraints like pagination or performance, but still excellent transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Well-structured: purpose first, then method, parameters, and full return spec. The output schema is thorough but a bit verbose. However, the detail is appropriate for a complex data retrieval tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complex return format and 0% parameter descriptions, the tool definition provides everything an agent needs: purpose, usage context, all parameter details, and a complete output schema. No gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It clearly explains each parameter: group_stix_id with example UUID, domain with allowed values, include_description with boolean purpose. This adds significant meaning beyond the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get all software (malware and tools) used by a specific APT group, identified by its STIX ID.' This is a specific verb-resource combination that effectively distinguishes it from siblings like get_all_software, get_groups_using_software, and get_software_used_by_campaign.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains it follows 'uses' relationships from intrusion set to software and lists parameters, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives like get_groups_using_software or get_software_used_by_campaign. Given many sibling tools, some guidance on selection would be beneficial.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the return structure including fields like 'found', 'mitigation', 'count', 'techniques', 'formatted', and 'message'. It does not mention error handling, rate limits, or pagination, but for a simple query tool the behavioral information is adequate.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Although the input schema has 0% description coverage, the description text documents all three parameters (attack_id, score, domain) with types, defaults, and usage details (e.g., score assigned to all matched techniques). This adds significant meaning beyond the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'Generate an ATT&CK Navigator layer for visualization' and explains it produces a JSON layer highlighting techniques for a given ATT&CK ID. It clearly distinguishes from sibling query tools by specifying supported ID prefixes (G, M, S, D) and explicitly excluding technique IDs (Txxxx).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description states when to use the tool (for supported ATT&CK IDs G, M, S, D) and when not to use it (technique IDs are NOT supported). It provides clear context but does not name specific alternative tools for unsupported IDs, which would further aid decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the tool's behavior (retrieves campaigns, allows filtering by domain, revocation, and description inclusion) and provides the output schema. It does not mention side effects or safety, but the 'get' nature implies read-only. Overall, it is fairly transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must fully explain each parameter. It does so thoroughly: content (case-insensitive partial match), object_type (with example STIX types), domain (with example values), and include_description (boolean). It adds meaning not present in the schema, making parameter usage clear.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool searches MITRE ATT&CK objects by matching text inside their description field. It provides specific use case examples (finding techniques by technology, groups by region, etc.), which differentiates it from sibling tools like get_objects_by_name (name search) or search_techniques (which may search other fields).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description lists explicit use cases (finding techniques by technology, groups by region, etc.) that clarify when to use this tool. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or compare it to alternative tools like search_techniques or get_objects_by_name, so there is minor room for improvement.
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 carries the transparency burden. It discloses that only non-revoked, non-deprecated software objects are returned and includes both malware and tools. It also describes the output structure in detail. While it does not explicitly declare the tool as read-only, the behavior is clearly for retrieval, and no side effects are implied.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with Docstring sections (Args, Returns) but is relatively lengthy. It includes the full return schema, which is redundant since an output schema exists. While clear, it could be more concise by relying on the structured output schema rather than repeating it in text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given 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 parameters, output schema present), the description is complete. It explains the filtering logic (domain, revoked/deprecated exclusion), parameter effects, and the return format. No critical gaps remain 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.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% coverage (no parameter descriptions), so the description must compensate fully. It does so by explaining the 'domain' parameter with example values ('enterprise', 'mobile', 'ics') and the 'include_description' boolean effect. This adds essential meaning beyond what the raw schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves all software (malware and tools) for a given ATT&CK domain, specifying it returns non-revoked, non-deprecated objects. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'get_all_software' (which likely lacks domain filtering) and 'search_software' (which enables flexible search by name/alias).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly conditions usage on the 'domain' parameter, indicating the tool is appropriate when software from a specific ATT&CK domain is needed. However, it does not directly state when to avoid this tool (e.g., for cross-domain queries) or explicitly name alternative tools like 'get_all_software'.
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 transparently explains search behavior, parameter effects, and return format. It does not mention any destructive side effects (none expected) or authentication needs, but is sufficient for a read-only search tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It thoroughly explains the tool's behavior: exact match, case-sensitive, returns structured results with count, objects, formatted text, and a message. No hidden side effects are omitted.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well-structured with a clear overview, examples, parameter details, and return format. Every sentence contributes value, 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.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Even though an output schema exists, the description still fully documents the return structure. It covers all necessary aspects for the tool's purpose, leaving no gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description fully compensates. It explains each parameter: name (exact name, case-sensitive), stix_type (with examples of valid types), domain (with options), and include_description (boolean, default false). This adds critical meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves MITRE ATT&CK objects by exact name match, case-sensitive, and distinguishes itself from generic search methods by emphasizing strictness. Examples of usage with specific object types further clarify the purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates the tool is for exact name matching and is more strict than generic search methods, implying when to use it. However, it does not explicitly state alternatives or when not to use this tool, leaving some ambiguity.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
