Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.1.1

  • Disambiguation4/5

    Most tools have clearly distinct purposes (discovery, activity stats, draft evaluation, discussion depth, planning, fetching). However, evaluate_draft and evaluate_draft_across are similar, though differentiated by scope (single vs. multi-subreddit).

    Naming Consistency3/5

    The naming pattern is generally verb_noun, but inconsistent: 'find_target_subreddits_tool' includes a redundant '_tool' suffix, and 'analyze_insight' is slightly redundant. Others like 'growth_plan' and 'fetch_posts' follow the pattern better.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 8 tools, the set is well-scoped for a Reddit growth assistant, covering discovery, analysis, evaluation, planning, and data retrieval without being bloated or too minimal.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool surface covers key aspects of Reddit growth analysis (subreddit discovery, activity, draft evaluation, fetching), but lacks a tool to actually post content, which could be considered a missing action for a growth-focused MCP.

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?

    The annotation already declares readOnlyHint=true, so the description does not need to reaffirm safety. However, it adds minimal behavioral context—no mention of potential depth limits, pagination, or comment tree structure.

    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 concise sentence that immediately conveys the tool's purpose with no redundancy. It is appropriately front-loaded.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Since an output schema exists, the description does not need to detail return values. However, it lacks usage guidance for tool selection among siblings, slightly reducing completeness.

    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 the baseline is 3. The description does not add meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions (e.g., url, comment_sort).

    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 fetches a post and its comment tree, using a specific verb ('fetch') and resource ('post with comment tree'). It implicitly distinguishes from siblings like 'fetch_posts' which likely fetches posts without comments.

    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 its siblings (e.g., fetch_posts, fetch_multiple). It does not mention prerequisites, alternatives, or exclusions, leaving the agent without context for selection.

    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?

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so read-only nature is clear. Description adds ranking behavior but lacks details on rate limits, auth needs, or any 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.

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Single sentence, no filler, front-loads key purpose and metric. Every word adds value.

    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 5 parameters and an output schema, the description is minimal. It does not explain ranking logic or output format beyond what annotations and schema provide. Adequate but with 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% with detailed parameter descriptions. The description does not add new 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.

    Purpose5/5

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

    Clearly states it discovers and ranks subreddits for given topics by estimated traffic. Distinguishes from siblings like search_subreddit (which likely only searches) and compare_subreddits (which compares).

    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?

    Implies usage for finding high-traffic subreddits for topics, but does not explicitly contrast with alternatives like search_subreddit or compare_subreddits, nor specify 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?

    The description aligns with the readOnlyHint annotation, indicating a safe read-only operation. It does not add further behavioral details, but the annotation already conveys the key constraint.

    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 sentence with no wasted words, clearly stating the tool's purpose upfront.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given the presence of an output schema (not shown) and complete input schema, the description is sufficient for understanding the tool's basic function. It could be improved by hinting at the output format or usage 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%, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add any parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema provides.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description uses a specific verb ('Evaluate') and resource ('post draft'), and clearly states what is evaluated ('acceptance risk and engagement potential'). It distinguishes from sibling tools by focusing on draft evaluation rather than subreddit finding or post fetching.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description does not specify when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'analyze_acceptance' or 'fetch_posts'. No guidance on prerequisites or exclusions is provided.

    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 readOnlyHint annotation already indicates a safe read operation. The description adds no additional behavioral details such as rate limits, pagination, or output format (though an output schema exists). With annotations present, the description provides minimal added value.

    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 sentence that front-loads the core purpose. It is concise and contains no unnecessary words.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given that the input schema fully describes parameters and an output schema exists, the description is minimally adequate. However, it could provide more context on how listing_type and time_filter interact, but the schema descriptions partially cover this.

    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 has 100% description coverage for all 4 parameters, each with its own description. The tool description does not add meaning beyond what the schema provides, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states 'Fetch posts from a single subreddit', using a specific verb ('fetch') and resource ('posts') with a scope ('single subreddit'). This immediately distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'fetch_multiple', which implies fetching from multiple subreddits.

    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 implicitly suggests usage for a single subreddit by specifying 'single', but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'fetch_multiple' or provide any exclusions or context. With multiple sibling tools, clearer guidance would be beneficial.

    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?

    Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the description adds value by detailing the output (viral recipe, posting times) and noting no credentials are needed. However, it adds no further behavioral traits beyond what annotations provide, earning a 3.

    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 sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and key details with no wasted words.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    With a complete input schema and an output schema (not shown but present), the description adequately covers the tool's functionality. It mentions output specifics and the input of candidate subreddits, making it complete enough for an agent to understand usage.

    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 all parameters have descriptions. The description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline 3 is appropriate.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states it builds a growth plan from candidate subreddits, including picking a safest strong one, listing cross-post targets, and returning a viral recipe and best posting times. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like find_target_subreddits_tool by focusing on planning rather than discovery.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description implies usage after obtaining candidate subreddits, and mentions 'No credentials needed'. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare it to alternatives, though the context is fairly 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?

    Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true; description adds value by stating 'No creds needed' and explaining the heuristic sentiment read. Does not contradict annotations.

    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?

    Single informative sentence plus a separate statement, no wasted words. Front-loaded with key action and resource.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness5/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    With output schema present and annotations, the description covers purpose, auth requirement, and key behavior. Adequate for the tool's complexity.

    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 descriptions for all parameters. Description does not add extra meaning beyond schema; baseline 3 is appropriate.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

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

    Description clearly states verb 'Measure' and resource 'subreddit's discussion depth', specifying what it measures (substance and sentiment) and distinguishes from siblings like 'analyze_subreddit' which might have different metrics.

    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?

    Implies usage via 'No creds needed' but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool over siblings like 'analyze_subreddit' or 'find_target_subreddits_tool'. No alternatives or exclusions listed.

    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?

    Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true, and the description confirms it estimates activity (read-only). It adds context about credential requirements for certain metrics, which is helpful. No contradictions or missing behavioral disclosures.

    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, well-structured sentence that front-loads the main purpose and concisely covers conditional behavior. No unnecessary words.

    Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

    Completeness4/5

    Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

    Given an output schema exists, the description adequately covers the tool's purpose and key outputs. It could mention limitations or edge cases, but for an activity estimation tool, it is sufficiently complete.

    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 descriptions for both parameters. The description adds overall context but doesn't enhance parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

    Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool estimates a subreddit's activity, specifically posts/day velocity, and optionally subscribers/active users with credentials. It differentiates from siblings like find_target_subreddits_tool which targets subreddits, and evaluate_draft which evaluates content.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

    Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

    The description implies usage for estimating subreddit activity and mentions credential dependency for additional metrics. It does not explicitly state when not to use or compare to alternatives, but the purpose is clear enough to guide selection.

    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?

    Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds 'No creds needed', providing extra transparency. No contradictions; the description does not detail rate limits or other traits but adds value beyond annotations.

    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
