Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct lifecycle action: run starts, list_processes enumerates, get_result retrieves output, kill_process terminates, peek observes running agents, wait blocks for completion, cleanup_processes removes old entries, doctor checks CLI availability, and models lists supported models. No overlap in purpose.
Naming Consistency3/5Naming is mixed: some tools use verb_noun with underscores (cleanup_processes, kill_process, list_processes, get_result) while others are single verbs or nouns (doctor, models, peek, run, wait). This inconsistency reduces predictability, though each name is still descriptive.
Tool Count5/5With 9 tools, the server covers the essential operations for managing AI agent processes—start, monitor, retrieve, wait, kill, cleanup, plus auxiliary checks for setup and model info. Neither too few nor too many.
Completeness5/5The tool set provides a complete lifecycle: creation (run), monitoring (list_processes, peek, wait), retrieval (get_result), termination (kill_process), cleanup (cleanup_processes), setup verification (doctor), and configuration (models). No obvious gaps for process management.
Average 3.8/5 across 9 of 9 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.

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?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Terminate' without mentioning side effects (e.g., data loss, unrecoverable state) or required permissions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the key information. It is appropriately short for a simple tool, though it could include brief additional context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (1 param, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate but lacks mention of return values or error handling, which would aid completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and the description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema. The schema already describes 'pid' as 'The process ID to terminate', so the description is redundant.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Terminate') and the resource ('running AI agent process by PID'), but it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'cleanup_processes', which may also terminate processes.
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 'cleanup_processes' or 'doctor'. There is no mention of prerequisites or conditions for 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, the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions defaults (compact results, 180s timeout) but omits blocking behavior, error handling, return value shape, or timeout consequences.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences convey purpose and key option efficiently. No superfluous words, well front-loaded with the core action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Lacks output schema, so description should detail return values. It only says 'return their results' without explaining format, success/error indicators, or shape of compact vs verbose results. Missing details for a 3-parameter tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, providing adequate parameter descriptions. The description adds context for the verbose parameter by explaining the difference between compact and full results, but does not substantially enhance understanding of pids or timeout beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool waits for multiple processes and returns results. It specifies 'multiple AI agent processes' which distinguishes it from single-result tools like get_result, though no explicit comparison is made.
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 get_result or peek. The description only explains the function, not usage context or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It notes default compact vs verbose output but fails to disclose error behavior (e.g., invalid PID), idempotency, or whether the process must be completed. Minimal behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with the purpose front-loaded. Every sentence adds value without redundancy. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Without an output schema, the description does not detail the return format beyond 'compact' vs 'full metadata'. Lacks specifics on status values, error responses, or shape of output. Adequate but incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds context about compact vs verbose output, but the schema already explains verbose thoroughly. Additional value is marginal.
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 'Get the current output and status of an AI agent process by PID' clearly states a specific verb (Get) and resource (output and status of an AI agent process by PID). It also distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on retrieving results, unlike list_processes or peek which likely serve different purposes.
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 peek or wait. The description implies usage after run but does not mention use cases or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only mentions 'list', implying a read operation, but discloses no additional behavioral traits like authentication or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of parameters, output schema, and annotations, the description is minimal. It does not describe the return format or structure, but for a simple listing tool it may be adequate.
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 tool has zero parameters, so according to rules the baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter information as none exist.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists supported model names, aliases, and backend discovery hints. It uses specific verbs and resources, and there is no confusion with sibling tools as they are about process management.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, but sibling tools are unrelated, so confusion is minimal. Usage is implied but not elaborated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. States the action (removing completed/failed processes) and effect (freeing memory), but does not disclose permissions required, reversibility, or scope (e.g., only current user's processes).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with 12 words, highly concise. Front-loaded with the action and purpose. No extraneous 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?
Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description is nearly complete. Could add a note that it does not affect running processes, but overall adequate.
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?
No parameters in input schema, so schema coverage is 100%. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4. Description adds no parameter info since none exist.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the verb 'Remove', the resource 'completed and failed processes from the process list', and the purpose 'free up memory'. Distinguishes from siblings like kill_process (which targets running processes) and list_processes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies usage when needing to clean up completed/failed processes, but lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives. For example, does not mention that kill_process should be used for running processes.
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 must disclose behavioral traits. It describes the return value (simple list with specific fields) but does not explicitly state that it is a read-only operation or any side effects. The behavior is typical for a list tool but lacks full transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences long, with the first sentence front-loading the primary function: 'List all running and completed AI agent processes.' The second sentence adds return field details. 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?
Given the tool has no parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description provides the essential return fields (PID, agent type, status). It does not mention ordering, error conditions, or performance, but for a simple list operation this is nearly complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no parameters, so the description has no parameters to explain. Baseline for zero parameters is 4, and the description does not add any parameter information, which is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the verb 'List' and the resource 'processes', clearly indicating it returns a list of all running and completed AI agent processes. It includes the specific fields (PID, agent type, status) that will be in the output, distinguishing it from siblings like kill_process or get_result which have different purposes.
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 states it lists 'all running and completed' processes, implying use when you need an overview. However, it offers no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like peek, get_result, or wait, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions.
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. Discloses one-shot nature, short window, and specific features/limitations: v1 model support, low-precision Forge tool calls, exclusion of raw output. Comprehensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is somewhat lengthy but well-structured and front-loaded with core purpose. Each sentence adds unique value with minimal redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Without output schema, description explains return values well (messages and optional tool calls) and addresses supported models and limitations. Could specify 'normalized' format more, but sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but description adds context: pids from run with dedup and not_found handling, peek_time_sec defaults and max, include_tool_calls defaults and what normalized tool calls include.
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 it's a one-shot observation window for running child agents, returning natural-language messages and optionally normalized tool calls. Distinguishes from history API, gapless streaming, and stdout/stderr tailing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implies usage for short observation but does not explicitly compare to sibling tools like get_result, wait, or list_processes. Does not state when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Despite no annotations, the description discloses that the tool returns immediately with a PID and requires other tools for results. It lists supported models, prompt requirements, and tips. Could be more specific about error states or lifecycle, but adequate.
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?
Well-structured with clear sections (purpose, capabilities, behavior note, models, input requirement, tips). Some redundancy in model list (duplicated in schema and description) and bullet points make it longer than necessary, but front-loaded with key info.
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?
No output schema exists, but description explains return value (PID) and usage workflow. Covers capabilities (file ops, code, git, terminal, web search). Sufficiently complete for a process runner 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 descriptions cover 100% of parameters. The description adds mutual exclusivity of prompt and prompt_file, model alias meanings, and prompt tips. This adds value beyond schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it starts an AI agent CLI process in the background and returns a PID immediately. It lists supported models and distinguishes from sibling tools like list_processes, get_result, and kill_process.
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 to use list_processes and get_result for monitoring, and provides prompt tips for complex tasks, status checking, retrieving results, and killing processes. Clearly contrasts with sibling tools.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and discloses limitations upfront. It accurately characterizes the tool as a diagnostic check without side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two brief sentences, front-loaded with the action. Every word is meaningful; no redundancy or filler.
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 (no parameters, no output schema), the description is fully adequate. It tells the agent exactly what to expect.
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 tool has no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds value by explaining the purpose beyond the schema, clarifying what 'check' entails.
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 ('Check') and resource ('supported AI CLI binary availability and path resolution'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'run' or 'list_processes'.
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 what the tool does and, crucially, what it does not do ('Does not verify login state or terms acceptance'), providing clear guidance on when to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
