Calculator MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool performs a unique arithmetic operation—addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, square root, and percentage—with no overlap or ambiguity. Descriptions clarify the exact inputs and behavior.
Naming Consistency4/5Tool names are consistently lowercase and follow a simple operation-name pattern (add, subtract, multiply, divide, power, percentage). The only minor deviation is 'square_root' using an underscore, which is a small inconsistency but does not hinder understanding.
Tool Count5/5Seven tools form a well-scoped set for a calculator, covering the essential operations without unnecessary redundancy. The count is appropriate for the domain.
Completeness5/5The tool surface covers all standard arithmetic operations, including power and square root, plus percentage. This is a comprehensive set for a general-purpose calculator, with no obvious missing operations.
Average 4.1/5 across 7 of 7 tools scored.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. 'Multiply two numbers' accurately describes the core operation, but does not disclose edge cases, error handling, or return behavior. However, for a trivial arithmetic operation, this minimal description is acceptable and not misleading.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, 'Multiply two numbers,' with no filler words or redundant information. It is effectively front-loaded and maximally concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple two-number multiply tool with an existing output schema, the description covers the essential purpose. It lacks details on return values or edge cases, but these are not critical given the tool's triviality and the presence of an output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the lack of parameter details. It confirms that both parameters are numbers and are to be multiplied, but does not explain individual roles. Since multiplication is commutative, the symmetry reduces the need for further clarification.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the specific verb 'Multiply' and the resource 'two numbers', which clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like add, subtract, divide, power, square_root, and percentage. There is no ambiguity about what the tool does.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus the sibling arithmetic operations. The description does not mention any alternatives, exclusions, or context for when multiplication is preferred.
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 defines the operation as 'what percent part is of whole', which implies the formula (part/whole)*100. However, it does not disclose edge cases such as if whole is zero, whether the result is rounded, or the exact format of the return value (e.g., 50 vs 0.5). With no annotations, this leaves some behavioral aspects unspecified.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, short sentence that immediately states the purpose. Every word contributes to understanding, with no filler or redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple two-parameter arithmetic tool, the description is adequate. It explains the core operation, and since an output schema exists, the return value does not need to be described in the text. It lacks edge-case notes but these are not critical for a basic percentage calculator.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema provides parameter names (part, whole) with no descriptions. The tool description adds meaning by clarifying that 'part' is the numerator and 'whole' is the denominator, but it does not mention constraints (e.g., whole cannot be zero) or types beyond the schema's number type.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Return') and resource ('what percent'), clearly stating the calculation it performs. It distinguishes itself from sibling arithmetic tools by focusing on the percentage relationship between part and whole.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like divide or multiply. While the description implies percentage computation, it does not explicitly state that this is for percentage context or when to prefer it over manual arithmetic.
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. 'Add two numbers' fully describes the behavior for a pure arithmetic operation with no side effects, hidden state, or special requirements. The simplicity of the operation makes this sufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, ultra-concise sentence with no wasted words. It is perfectly front-loaded and every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a trivial two-number addition with an output schema and no nested objects, the description is complete. The simplicity of the tool means no further context is required.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'two numbers' which maps to parameters a and b, but does not provide individual parameter detail. Since addition is commutative, order is irrelevant, and the description is minimally adequate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Add two numbers' clearly states the specific verb 'Add' and the resource 'two numbers', which unambiguously distinguishes this from sibling tools like subtract, multiply, and divide.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, but the purpose itself implies usage: use when you need to add two numbers. No exclusions or alternative recommendations are provided, so it relies on the obviousness of the operation.
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?
For a pure mathematical function, the description fully captures the behavior with no side effects or hidden operations. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the burden, but the operation is straightforward and unambiguous, requiring no additional disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the key information and gets straight to the point.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
This is a very simple tool with an output schema present, so the description does not need to explain return values. The description fully specifies the operation, making it complete for the tool's low complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description explicitly references 'base' and 'exponent' in the operation, providing clear semantic meaning. Since the schema has zero description coverage, this mapping is essential for understanding which parameter plays which role.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Raise base to the given exponent' uses a specific verb and resource, clearly stating the exponentiation operation. It naturally distinguishes itself from sibling arithmetic tools like add, multiply, and square_root.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention any exclusions, prerequisites, or comparative scenarios where power would be preferred over other arithmetic operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of explaining behavior. It clearly specifies the order of operands (b from a) but does not disclose additional traits such as return type, edge cases, or side effects. For a simple arithmetic function, this is minimal but adequate; however, it lacks richness beyond the core operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, focused sentence with no filler words. It communicates the essential operation clearly and efficiently, earning a perfect score for conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool, the explicit input schema, and the presence of an output schema (as indicated by context), the description provides sufficient context. It does not need to explain return values or complex behaviors, making it complete for its purpose.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Although the input schema has no descriptions for a and b, the description adds critical semantic meaning by clarifying the subtractive relationship: a is the minuend and b is the subtrahend. This compensates for the 0% schema description coverage and helps the agent understand how to correctly pass arguments.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's action as 'Subtract b from a', using a specific verb and resource. This unambiguously identifies the operation and distinguishes it from sibling tools like add, multiply, and divide.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use for subtraction but does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over alternatives. There is no mention of exclusions or competing tools, leaving the usage context to be inferred from the operation name and sibling context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses the primary behavior and the error case for negative inputs. Additional details like return type are covered by the output schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two short sentences, front-loading the core action and including the essential error condition with no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple mathematical function, the description covers purpose and error handling. The presence of an output schema means return format doesn't need explanation, so the tool is adequately documented.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema provides only a type and title for 'x'. The description adds semantic meaning by referencing 'x' in the context of the square root, making its role clear despite 0% schema description coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb 'Return' and resource 'square root of x', clearly distinguishing it from sibling arithmetic operations like add or divide.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives clear context for when to use the tool (computing a square root) and notes an error condition. It doesn't explicitly name alternatives, but the sibling set makes the intended use apparent.
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 critical error condition when b is 0, which is a key behavioral trait beyond the operation itself. It doesn't explicitly mention purity or side effects, but the arithmetic context makes these less critical.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, consisting of two short sentences. It front-loads the main operation and then adds the error condition, with no waste.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of the tool and the presence of an output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: the operation and the error condition. It is sufficiently complete for an agent to invoke it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description 'Divide a by b' clarifies the roles of the parameters: a is the dividend and b is the divisor. This adds meaning beyond the schema, which only has titles 'A' and 'B' with no descriptions, compensating for the 0% schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'Divide a by b', which is a specific verb and resource that clearly distinguishes this tool from siblings like add and multiply.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for the division operation, making it obvious when to use this tool. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions, so it doesn't earn a 5.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
