Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.4
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct resource (event, memo, todo) and action (create, get, list, update, delete, mark done, reopen). The descriptions explicitly differentiate between resource types, eliminating any ambiguity.
Naming Consistency4/5All tools follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., create_event, delete_todo), but list operations use plural nouns (list_events, list_memos, list_todos) while other operations use singular, causing a minor inconsistency.
Tool Count5/5With 18 tools covering CRUD for three resource types plus status transitions and a cross-resource search, the count is well-scoped and each tool serves a clear, necessary purpose.
Completeness5/5The tool set provides full lifecycle management for events, memos, and todos (create, read, update, delete) plus status toggles and search. No obvious gaps exist for the planner domain.
Average 4.6/5 across 18 of 18 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
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Explicitly notes destructive, irreversible side effects and that subsequent calls with the same ID error. Since no annotations are provided, the description fully covers behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences with no waste: purpose, irreversibility warning, example and side effect. Front-loaded with core action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple one-parameter tool with no annotations or output schema, the description covers purpose, side effects, example, and error behavior. Complete enough for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds an example but does not provide additional semantics beyond the schema's description of 'UUID of the event to delete'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'Permanently delete a calendar event by ID', specifying verb and resource. Distinguishes from sibling tools like create_event, update_event, list_events, and delete_memo/todo.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like update_event for cancellation. Only mentions irreversibility, but does not provide context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, but description fully discloses destructive, irreversible nature, return value, and error on repeated calls.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Clear and front-loaded; each sentence adds value, though slightly verbose.
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?
Complete for a simple delete tool with one parameter; covers return value and behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage 100% with clear description of 'id' as UUID; description adds example but no significant extra meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description states specific verb and resource ('permanently delete a memo by ID'), distinguishes from siblings like delete_event and delete_todo.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit when-to-use or alternatives. Implies usage for deletion but lacks guidance on when not to use or alternative actions.
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 adds value by explicitly stating 'Side effects: read-only' and 'Errors if the id does not exist'. It also provides an example output, giving sufficient behavioral context for a read operation. Could optionally mention rate limits or caching, but not required.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three efficient sentences: purpose/fields, example, and side effects/errors. No redundant information, perfectly front-loaded with the core action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple single-resource fetch tool with no output schema, the description covers input format, what fields are returned via example, and error conditions. It is adequately complete, though adding explicit mention of return type could push it to 5.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and already documents the 'id' parameter. The description adds that short IDs (first 8 characters) are accepted and provides an example, which is minimal extra value. Baseline 3 is appropriate since schema does most of the work.
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 'Fetch the full details of a single todo by ID', which is a specific verb and resource. It lists the fields returned (description, status, due date, tags) and provides an example, making it easy to distinguish from sibling tools like list_todos or update_todo.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when you have a specific todo ID, and mentions that it errors if the ID doesn't exist. However, it does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like list_todos for fetching multiple todos, leaving a slight gap in when-not-to-use 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?
Despite no annotations, the description discloses key traits: partial update (only provided fields change), tags replacement, idempotency, and error condition for nonexistent id. It also includes an example. This is comprehensive, though could mention permission or concurrency aspects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three sentences plus an example, front-loading the key purpose and update behavior. No redundant information; every sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 7 parameters and no output schema, the description adequately covers behavior, side effects, and error condition. It explains return value ('Returns the updated event'). Minor missing details like full error handling or pagination, but sufficient for the tool's complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The tool description adds value by explaining partial update semantics and tag replacement behavior, which goes beyond raw schema definitions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Update an existing calendar event,' specifying the verb and resource. It also explains partial update behavior, distinguishing it from create_event (creation) and get_event (reading).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use (to modify an existing event) but does not explicitly state when not to use or compare with sibling tools like delete_event or create_event. It provides functional behavior but lacks explicit alternative 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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses read-only side effects and error condition (id not found). It does not cover permissions or rate limits, but for a simple read operation, these are less critical. The disclosure is adequate and adds value beyond the 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 concise (two sentences plus example) with no wasted words. It front-loads the purpose, then provides an illustrative example, and ends with behavioral notes. Every sentence serves a purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite lacking an output schema, the description includes a detailed example of the return object listing all fields. It also covers the error condition. For a single-parameter get tool, this provides sufficient context for an agent to invoke and interpret the response.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 100% coverage of parameter description, so baseline is 3. The description adds an example showing the parameter in context and the return shape, which enriches understanding beyond the schema's description of the id field.
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 'Fetch the full details of a single calendar event by ID', specifying the action and resource. It lists included fields (description, all-day flag, tags) and distinguishes from siblings like list_events (multiple events) and other get tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when a single event's full details are needed by ID. It does not explicitly exclude other scenarios, but the context of siblings (list_events for multiple, other get tools) makes the usage context clear.
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 explicitly states 'Side effects: read-only' and 'Errors if the id does not exist or belongs to another user.' This provides good transparency beyond the tool's name.
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 four sentences with no wasted words: purpose, usage context, example, and error conditions. It is front-loaded and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description explains the return includes Markdown content and an example structure. It covers common errors and usage context, making it complete for a single-parameter read tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and the description provides an example showing the id parameter format and return structure, adding value beyond the schema's description of the parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Fetch the full details of a single memo by ID, including the Markdown content body.' It distinguishes from sibling tools list_memos and search by specifying it is called after them to read a memo's body.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It says 'Typically called after list_memos or search to read a memo's body.' and provides an example and error conditions. It does not explicitly state when not to use it, but the context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses read-only side effect and ordering by start time. With no annotations, the description carries full burden; it provides key behavioral traits but could mention pagination or date range limitations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Front-loaded with purpose, each sentence adds value (example, workflow, side effects). No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers all needed context: purpose, return fields, example, sibling alternatives, workflow, and side effects.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has zero parameters, schema description coverage is 100%. Baseline 3 is appropriate; description does not need to add parameter details, but it adds value by listing returned fields.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states verb 'list', resource 'calendar events', and scope 'belonging to the user, ordered by start time'. Additionally distinguishes from sibling tools list_todos and list_memos, fulfilling a specific verb+resource+scope criterion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly instructs when to use alternatives ('For tasks without a fixed time use list_todos; for free-form notes use list_memos') and describes typical workflow ('typically followed by get_event(id) or update_event(id, ...)').
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description fully carries the burden. It discloses idempotence (calling on already-open todo is a no-op but returns success) and the return value 'reopened', offering comprehensive behavioral insights.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences convey the action, usage, and side effects with an example. No unnecessary words; highly efficient.

Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (1 parameter, no output schema, no annotations), the description fully covers its purpose, usage guidance, side effects, and error behavior, leaving no gaps for an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% (the id parameter is fully described as 'UUID of the todo to delete'). The description adds an example but does not significantly enhance meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool permanently deletes a todo by ID, using a specific verb ('delete') and resource ('todo'). It distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'mark_todo_done' by explicitly recommending that alternative for mere completion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit when-to-use ('permanently delete'), when-not-to-use ('prefer mark_todo_done'), and details on error behavior ('subsequent calls with the same id error'). This gives the AI agent clear decision criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Given the tool's simplicity (4 parameters, no output schema), the description covers return behavior, side effects, and parameter semantics comprehensively. No gaps remain.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, and the description adds crucial context like 'tags array replaces existing tags entirely' and an example. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies the verb 'update' and the resource 'memo', listing the updatable fields. It distinguishes from siblings like create_memo, get_memo, and delete_memo.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains that only provided fields are modified and that tags replace the entire set. It does not explicitly mention when not to use or compare to alternatives, but the context from sibling tools is sufficient.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Clearly states side effects ('writes a new record on each call — calling twice creates two events. Not idempotent.') and returns created event with UUID. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two paragraphs: first sentence states purpose, then usage guidelines, then example, then side effects. No wasted words, well front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 6 parameters, 2 required, no output schema, and no annotations, description covers purpose, usage differentiation, side effects, and return value (UUID + example). Adequately complete for agent decision-making.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so schema already describes parameters. Description adds value with a concrete example showing parameter format and combination, but otherwise does not elaborate beyond schema. Minor added enrichment.
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?
States 'Create a calendar event with a fixed start time (and optional end time)' and distinguishes from create_todo and create_memo by specifying use cases. Clear verb+resource+scope.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Despite no annotations, the description discloses key behaviors: it writes a new record on each call, is not idempotent, and returns the todo with an assigned UUID and status. This exceeds basic expectations for a create tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise yet comprehensive, front-loading the main purpose, then differentiating from siblings, providing an example, and noting side effects. No unnecessary text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, the description covers all essential aspects: purpose, usage, parameters, return value, and side effects. It is sufficient for an agent to invoke correctly without additional information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds value by explaining that tags are created on-the-fly if missing and provides a concrete example. This goes beyond merely restating schema fields.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a todo (actionable task) and returns the created object with UUID and status. It explicitly distinguishes from siblings create_memo and create_event, making the purpose unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives (notes vs. events) and notes that it is not idempotent, helping the agent decide correctly.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Despite no annotations, the description fully discloses behavior: it returns the string 'marked as done' on success and is idempotent (calling on an already-completed todo is a no-op). This meets the transparency burden.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with three sentences: purpose, usage equivalence, return/example, and side effects. Each sentence adds value, and key info is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers all necessary aspects: what it does, how it relates to other tools, return format, and side effects. It is complete without missing critical details.
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 100% coverage for the single 'id' parameter with a description. The description adds an example and context, slightly enhancing understanding. Baseline is 3 due to high coverage, but the example pushes it to 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Mark a todo as completed (status="done")'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like update_todo and reopen_todo by describing it as a convenience shortcut for the most common state transition.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit usage guidance: it is a convenience shortcut equivalent to update_todo with status='done' but communicates intent more clearly. It also mentions idempotency, which guides the agent on when it is safe to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses partial update semantics, tag replacement, idempotence, and error handling ('Errors if the id does not exist'). No annotations provided, so description carries full burden.
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?
Concise three-sentence description plus example. Front-loaded key behavior, no redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description covers all needed aspects: side effects, error handling, usage guidance, and parameter behavior. No gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and descriptions are clear. The description adds value by summarizing partial update behavior, clarifying tag replacement, and providing an example, which aids understanding beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Update an existing todo's fields' and distinguishes from siblings mark_todo_done/reopen_todo by specifying when to use each.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly states when to use update_todo vs alternatives ('prefer mark_todo_done / reopen_todo for clearer intent'), describes partial update behavior, idempotence, and error condition.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses read-only side effect, return fields (id, title, tags, timestamps, but not body), and ordering (newest first). No annotations to contradict.
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?
Concise yet comprehensive; each sentence adds value (purpose, limitations, example, workflow, side effects). No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Fully covers what the tool does, its output, limitations, and relationship to siblings. No output schema needed; description is self-sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters, so schema coverage is 100% (empty). Description adds value by explaining what the tool returns and behavior, exceeding the baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists memos (free-form Markdown notes) for the user, newest first. It distinguishes from siblings like get_memo (for full body) and list_todos (for actionable tasks).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly tells when not to use (for actionable tasks use list_todos) and workflow hint to call get_memo for full body. No ambiguity.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses side effects ('read-only, safe to retry') and details the search logic: whitespace is AND, case-insensitive substring match. Since no annotations are provided, the description fully covers behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two clear paragraphs: one for purpose and usage, one for an example and side effects. Every sentence is necessary and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Even without an output schema, the description explains the return format ('unified result list with each match tagged by its resource kind'). Combined with the search logic and side effects, the description is complete for a search tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds meaning beyond the input schema by explaining what the query matches against (title, body, description, tags) and how terms are combined (AND, case-insensitive). This is valuable for proper invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Search' and the resources (memos, todos, calendar events). It distinguishes from sibling tools by noting that for listing every item of a specific kind, one should use list_memos/list_todos/list_events instead.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines5/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Explicitly says when to use: 'when the user asks an open-ended question like "find anything about X" or doesn't specify the resource type.' It also provides alternatives for specific listings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
