Server Quality Checklist

67%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.8.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a distinct purpose: individual scanners for different AWS security checks, separate report generators for various formats, and utility tools for listing, saving, and detecting services. No two tools overlap in functionality.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., scan_*, generate_*, list_*), but there is minor inconsistency: some scanners end with '_findings' while others do not (e.g., scan_iam_privilege_escalation vs scan_access_analyzer_findings). Overall, the naming is clear and predictable.

    Tool Count3/5

    34 tools is high for a single MCP server, but the count is justified by the need for individual security scanners across many AWS services. However, it borders on being overwhelming and could benefit from consolidation or categorization.

    Completeness4/5

    The server covers a comprehensive set of AWS security scanning areas (IAM, network, compliance, secrets, etc.) and provides multiple report formats including specialized compliance reports (MLPS, HW Defense). Minor gaps might exist (e.g., remediation tools), but core scanning and reporting is well-covered.

  • Average 3.8/5 across 34 of 34 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.

How to sync the server with GitHub?

Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

How is the quality score calculated?

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

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

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

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

Tool Scores

  • Behavior2/5

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

    With no annotations, the description carries full burden but only mentions generation and saving. It lacks details on output location, file overwrite behavior, permissions, or any side effects beyond file creation.

    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?

    Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no redundancy. Could be improved with more context, but it is appropriately concise.

    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 4 parameters and no output schema, the description does not explain how parameters affect the report, what the report contains, or dependencies like requiring prior scan results. Important gaps remain.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional parameter information beyond the schema definitions, which already describe each parameter adequately.

    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 generates a professional HTML security report and saves as .html file, specifying the output format. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like generate_mlps3_html_report, which also produces HTML.

    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 on when to use this tool versus other report generators (e.g., generate_report, generate_maturity_report). No prerequisites or context for invocation are 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?

    With no annotations provided, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It only states the outcome (generate report) but does not mention whether it is a read-only operation, if it requires specific permissions, or if it modifies any state. The description is insufficient for an agent to understand 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.

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is concise with two sentences, no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the purpose. Could be slightly more structured, but overall efficient.

    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?

    The tool has 4 parameters and no output schema. The description does not explain what the tool returns or where the .html file is saved (e.g., local path, downloadable link). It also does not indicate if history is required for trend charts, leaving the agent to infer from parameter descriptions.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented in the schema. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what is 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.

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states it generates a professional HTML MLPS Level 3 compliance report and saves as .html file. It distinguishes from siblings like generate_mlps3_report by specifying HTML format, but could more explicitly differentiate when to use this versus other report generators.

    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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites, such as running scan_group mlps3_precheck first to obtain scan_results. Lacks context on which scenarios this report is appropriate for.

    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 states the tool is read-only and does not modify resources, which is critical for a scanning tool. However, with no annotations provided, it does not disclose other behavioral aspects such as output format or execution duration.

    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 very concise with two sentences, front-loading the purpose. It contains no filler, but could potentially include more detail without significant bloat.

    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 the lack of output schema and many sibling tools, the description fails to explain what the tool returns or how to interpret results. It is incomplete for a scanning tool.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The input schema already describes the 'region' parameter with 100% coverage, and the description adds no further semantic value. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

    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 runs an 'Idle Resources security scanner', specifying the resource type and action. Among sibling tools like scan_access_analyzer_findings and scan_ssl_certificate, this description uniquely identifies its focus on idle resources.

    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 mentions 'only' and 'Read-only' but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like scan_all or other specific scanners. It lacks context for optimal usage.

    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 must disclose all behavioral traits. It only states the output format (HTML) and that it is saved as a file, but does not mention where it is saved, if it overwrites existing files, any authentication requirements, or side effects like file creation. This is insufficient for safe invocation.

    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 at two sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose, and contains no redundant or irrelevant information.

    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?

    The description lacks information about return values or output behavior (e.g., file path, overwrite behavior). Given there is no output schema, the description should clarify what the agent can expect after invocation, but it does not.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% (all parameters have descriptions in the schema). The description adds no new information about parameters beyond what is in the schema, so it meets the baseline but does not enhance understanding.

    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 verb (generate), resource (HTML report), and the specific organization criteria (HW Defense SOP checklist categories). This makes it distinct from sibling tools like 'generate_html_report' which would produce a more generic report.

    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 'generate_html_report' or 'generate_maturity_report'. There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or context-driven recommendations.

    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 discloses that the tool is read-only and does not modify AWS resources, which is good for safety. However, it does not detail what specific compliance checks are performed or any 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.

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is very concise, consisting of one short sentence that front-loads the key purpose and safety info. While it could include more detail, it is efficient and avoids verbosity.

    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 tool simplicity (one optional param, no output schema) and many siblings, the description covers the basics (purpose, safety, parameter). However, it lacks information about output/return values or what compliance checks are executed, leaving some gaps.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% for the single 'region' parameter. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides (AWS region to scan), 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.

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states the action ('Run'), the resource ('Tag Compliance security scanner'), and the read-only nature. It distinguishes from sibling tools by specifying 'Tag Compliance' among many scan_ tools, though it could be more specific about the scanning purpose.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does 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, such as other scan_ tools. The description simply names the scanner without providing 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 provided. The description adds only the save location of reports. It omits behavioral details like resource intensity, persistence of data, or any side effects, which are important for a combined scan and report tool.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose. The first sentence states the action, the second adds benefit and save location. No unnecessary words.

    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?

    The description covers the combination aspect and save location, but lacks details on what constitutes a 'full security scan,' how output is structured, or how to interpret results. Given the complexity of 7 parameters and many siblings, more completeness would be beneficial.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add further parameter meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

    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 runs a full security scan and generates reports in one step, distinguishing it from separate scan and report tools. However, 'full security scan' is somewhat vague and could be more specific about its 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 implies use when avoiding data transfer between tools, but does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives. It provides general guidance but lacks explicit 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?

    The description explicitly states the tool is read-only and does not modify AWS resources, which is key behavioral information. However, with no annotations provided, it lacks further details such as what constitutes a secret exposure or any performance characteristics.

    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 a single sentence, which is concise and to the point. It front-loads the action ('Run ... security scanner') and adds critical information ('Read-only'). However, it could be slightly more structured.

    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?

    The description lacks information about what the tool returns (no output schema present), and given the many sibling scanners, it does not explain what makes this scanner unique or what type of secrets it detects. Complete guidance for selection and interpretation is missing.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% for the single parameter 'region', and its description already explains its purpose. The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

    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 runs a Secret Exposure security scanner, emphasizes it is read-only, and does not modify resources. The name and description together uniquely identify its purpose among many sibling scanners.

    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 says 'only' but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternative security scanners like scan_guardduty_findings or scan_inspector_findings. No when-to-use or when-not-to-use information is given.

    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, but the description explicitly states 'Read-only', which is a key behavioral trait. It also mentions the dependency on service_detection output. However, it lacks details on state changes, return format, or safety beyond the read-only claim.

    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 extremely concise at two sentences, covering purpose, precondition, and safety in a front-loaded manner. Every sentence serves a clear purpose with no redundancy.

    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 there is no output schema, the description fails to explain what the report contains or its return format (e.g., file path, string). This leaves the agent without necessary information to handle the tool's output, making it incomplete for a report generation tool.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add meaning beyond what the input schema already provides for the two parameters (scan_results and lang).

    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 generates a security maturity assessment report from scan_all results, with a specific verb and resource. It mentions dependency on service_detection module output, which adds context but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling report generators like generate_report or generate_html_report.

    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 that the tool requires service_detection module output, providing a precondition for use. However, it does not give guidance on when to use this tool over siblings or when not to use it, leaving the agent to infer usage 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 carries full burden. It explicitly states read-only and no modification, which is transparent. However, it does not mention other behaviors like scope or output format.

    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?

    Two concise sentences, no wasted words, front-loaded with purpose and key traits.

    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?

    For a simple tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description sufficiently covers purpose and behavioral traits. Could mention how results are accessed.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, and the description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's description of the 'region' parameter.

    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?

    Description clearly states it runs a security scanner and is read-only. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from similar sibling tools like 'scan_all', which might also scan broadly.

    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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'scan_all' or specific scanners such as 'scan_guardduty_findings'.

    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 burden of disclosure. It states the tool is read-only and non-modifying, which covers key behavioral traits. However, it omits important details like required permissions, API calls made, or rate limits, leaving transparency 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 extremely concise with two short sentences that front-load the purpose. Every word earns its place, and there is no redundancy.

    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 low complexity (1 optional parameter, no output schema), the description covers the essential purpose and safety. However, it lacks details about expected output or prerequisites, which would be helpful for an agent to use the tool correctly without additional context.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100% for the sole parameter 'region'. The description does not add further meaning beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., default behavior or allowed regions). Thus it meets the baseline without extra value.

    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 runs a GuardDuty Findings scanner and is read-only. It explicitly says 'only' to distinguish from other scan tools, and the name reinforces the specific resource.

    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 gives basic guidance that it is read-only and does not modify resources, implying it is safe to use. However, it does not explicitly compare with sibling tools like scan_all or scan_security_hub_findings, nor provide 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.

  • 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 explicitly states 'Read-only. Does not modify any AWS resources,' which clearly discloses the non-destructive behavioral trait. This is crucial for AI safety. However, no other traits (e.g., rate limits, output details) are covered.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences with zero waste. Front-loaded with the primary action, then safety qualifier. Every word earns its place.

    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?

    For a single-parameter scanner with no output schema, the description is fairly complete: it states the action, scope (security scanner), and safety (read-only). It might lack explanation of what Inspector Findings are or the output format, but given the tool's simplicity and sibling context, it is sufficient.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with a single parameter 'region' described as 'AWS region to scan (default: server region)'. The description provides no additional parameter 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.

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool runs Inspector Findings security scanner, specifying verb and resource. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling scan tools like scan_access_analyzer_findings or scan_config_rules_findings, though the mention of 'Inspector Findings' provides some distinction.

    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 (e.g., other scan tools). The description only notes it is read-only, which is a safety trait but not a usage scenario. For a tool with many siblings, explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use advice 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?

    With no annotations, the description adds value by stating 'Read-only. Does not modify any AWS resources.' This is a key behavioral trait. However, it does not disclose potential limitations (e.g., scope, permissions needed) or what the output contains, leaving some gaps.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the action and adds critical read-only information. Every word earns its place; no fluff or 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?

    For a tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description is largely complete. It clarifies the tool's non-destructive nature and specificity. A minor gap: it doesn't explain what 'Public Access Verify' checks, but the name and siblings mitigate that.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% (one parameter 'region' with description). The description adds no additional semantics beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline. It repeats the tool's name rather than enriching parameter meaning.

    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 purpose: 'Run Public Access Verify security scanner only.' It specifies a specific verb ('Run') and resource ('Public Access Verify security scanner'), and the 'only' distinguishes it from siblings like 'scan_all' or 'scan_group'. No ambiguity.

    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. Among 30+ sibling scanning tools, there is no mention of context, prerequisites, or when not to use it. The word 'only' hints at specificity but lacks actionable criteria.
