Server Quality Checklist

Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

Latest release: v5.0.0
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a unique combination of resource and action (e.g., create_article vs. create_contact). Similar tools like list_voucherlist and list_vouchers are clearly distinguished by description. No overlapping purposes.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tools follow the lexware_verb_noun pattern with snake_case, using consistent verbs (create, get, list, update, delete, download, upload, deeplink, pursue, verify). No mixing of conventions.
Tool Count3/5
64 tools is high but reasonable given the broad domain (sales, bookkeeping, contacts, articles, files, webhooks). However, it is borderline heavy and may overwhelm agents without clear scoping.
Completeness3/5
Covers core CRUD for articles/contacts and full lifecycle for many voucher types, but lacks update/delete for most voucher types (e.g., no update_invoice) and no void/cancel operations, leaving notable gaps.
Average 3.6/5 across 64 of 64 tools scored. Lowest: 1.6/5.

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?
The description is consistent with annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false) but adds no additional behavioral context. It does not disclose side effects, return behavior, or consequences of creation (e.g., duplicates, ID generation). The annotations already cover safety but the description should add value.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence but is under-specified. It is concise but not informative, failing to front-load key details that would help an agent use the tool correctly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is extremely incomplete given the tool's complexity (nested object with important fields like type, unitPrice). It does not explain what an article is in the Lexware context, nor does it mention return values or behavior. The schema provides some info but the description fails to add 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% as the input schema already describes the 'body' parameter and its key fields. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides. With full coverage, baseline is 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose1/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a new article.' is a tautology of the tool name 'lexware_create_article'. It fails to specify what an article is (e.g., product or service in Lexware) and does not distinguish this from other create tools like lexware_create_contact or lexware_create_invoice.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidance provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool over alternatives, such as when to create an article versus a contact or invoice. No prerequisites or context are mentioned.
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?
Annotations already indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and no destruction (destructiveHint=false). The description adds no further context about behavior like duplicate handling, required permissions, or 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.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise. However, it sacrifices substance for brevity, missing opportunities to provide helpful context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema is provided, and the description does not explain return values or error conditions. For a create tool with a complex nested parameter, more guidance is needed on what happens after creation.
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 the 'body' parameter, listing key fields. The tool description adds zero parameter info, so it meets the baseline but provides no extra value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose3/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a new contact.' states the verb and resource clearly, but it is a near-tautology of the title 'Create Contact' and does not distinguish this tool from sibling create tools like lexware_create_article.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update_contact for edits) or any exclusions. The description lacks context for decision-making.
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?
Annotations provide only basic hints (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false), and the description adds no behavioral context. Important details like duplicate handling, validation, or side effects are missing, leaving the agent with insufficient understanding of the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks critical information that would make it earn its place. It is not wasteful, but it is insufficiently informative for an agent to use the tool correctly among many siblings.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of multiple sibling tools and a nested parameter with no output schema, the description is too brief. It fails to explain the tool's role relative to other create tools or what the return value looks like, leaving a significant knowledge gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already covers 100% of parameters with a description listing key fields, so the tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. The parameter semantics are adequate but not enhanced.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a 'new bookkeeping voucher' in Lexware, identifying the specific verb and resource. However, it does not distinguish this tool from sibling tools like lexware_create_invoice or lexware_create_credit_note, which could create confusion about 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 Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Given the many sibling create tools for specific voucher types (e.g., invoice, credit note), this omission forces the agent to infer usage from the schema's 'type' field, which is not explicitly mentioned.
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?
The description adds no behavioral details beyond what annotations provide (e.g., that it is not read-only, not destructive). It does not mention API behavior like idempotency or side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (one sentence, five words) and front-loaded with the core purpose. However, it could benefit from additional context without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a creation tool with a complex nested body parameter and no output schema, the description lacks sufficient detail about return values, error states, or usage constraints.
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% (body parameter has a detailed description with key fields); the tool description adds no additional parameter information, so baseline 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (create) and resource (delivery note) but does not differentiate it from sibling create tools like create_invoice or create_credit_note.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives; lacks context or prerequisites for creating a delivery note.
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?
The description does not add behavioral context beyond annotations. Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false (write operation) and openWorldHint=true (possible external side effects), but the description only states 'Create' without elaborating on side effects, auth requirements, or idempotency.
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 conveys the purpose without any unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complex nested object parameter and no output schema, the description lacks information about return values, error conditions, or post-creation behavior. The annotation openWorldHint=true hints at external effects but is not explained.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% for the single parameter 'body', and its description lists key fields (voucherDate, address, lineItems, etc.). The tool description itself adds no extra parameter info, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Create) and resource (order confirmation in Lexware). While it doesn't explicitly distinguish from sibling tools with similar 'create' names, the resource name is specific enough to avoid confusion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidelines provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_invoice or create_credit_note, nor does it mention any prerequisites or constraints.
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?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false (mutation), but the description adds no behavioral details beyond 'create.' It does not mention potential side effects, error states, or output behavior. With no annotation contradiction, but minimal value added, this scores low.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no unnecessary words. It is well-structured for quick reading, though it might be too minimal for some contexts.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (nested object, no output schema, multiple sibling tools), the description is incomplete. It does not explain return values, error handling, or success behavior, leaving the agent without enough context to use the tool reliably.
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 sole parameter 'body' has 100% schema coverage, with the description in the schema listing key fields. The tool description merely states 'Quotation JSON body,' adding no extra meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create a new quotation in Lexware,' specifying the action (create) and resource (quotation). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like lexware_create_invoice or lexware_create_credit_note, which have similar structures.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, typical use cases, or scenarios where another tool would be more appropriate.
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?
Annotations indicate write, non-destructive, non-idempotent behavior, but the description adds no new behavioral details such as side effects, return value, or system interactions. It does not leverage the openWorldHint or clarify file handling.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (one sentence) and front-loaded. However, it lacks substantive content that would earn its place, as it only repeats the tool name and title.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple upload tool with no output schema, the description is incomplete. It omits important details like file size limits, supported MIME types, return format (e.g., file ID), and whether the file is attached to a document or stored independently.
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 three parameters. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Upload a file to Lexware', identifying the action and resource. However, it does not distinguish between this general file upload and the sibling tool 'lexware_upload_voucher_file', which is a more specific variant.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like lexware_upload_voucher_file or lexware_download_file. The agent has no context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description 'Delete' aligns with these, but adds no further behavioral context such as whether deletion is permanent, reversible, or has side effects on related records.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at six words, front-loading the action and target. However, it could optionally include a bit more context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description lacks information about the operation's outcome (e.g., no output schema, no indication of return value or success confirmation). For a destructive tool, additional context about irreversibility or confirmation steps would improve 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?
With schema description coverage at 100% and only one parameter ('id' described as 'Article ID'), the description adds no additional meaning beyond the input 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?
The description 'Delete an article by ID' clearly states the verb (delete), resource (article), and method (by ID). This effectively distinguishes it from CRUD sibling tools like lexware_create_article, lexware_get_article, and lexware_update_article.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, consequences, or situations where deletion might be inappropriate (e.g., cascading effects, soft delete behavior).
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, providing a strong safety profile. The description adds no additional behavioral context (e.g., rate limits, data freshness) beyond what is in 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.
Conciseness4/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, efficient and without fluff. However, it could be slightly more informative by hinting at available filters (articleNumber, gtin, type) without becoming verbose.
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?
For a list tool with 5 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the basic functionality but omits mention of filtering capabilities and return value structure, which are partially covered by the schema.
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 extra meaning beyond the schema; it simply restates 'optional pagination' which is already detailed in the parameter definitions.

Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'list' and resource 'articles', and includes the optional pagination feature. It distinguishes well from sibling tools like lexware_get_article (single) and lexware_create_article (create), making its 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 Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as lexware_get_article for specific articles or filtering via parameters. There is no mention of prerequisites or 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.
Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only says 'list,' which is consistent with the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint), but it does not add any behavioral detail beyond what annotations already provide. For example, it does not mention pagination behavior, rate limits, or that the result returns a list of templates.
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 with only five words. It is front-loaded and contains no unnecessary information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with good schema coverage and annotations, the description is adequately complete. It could mention that the result is a list of invoice templates, but given the tool's straightforward nature, this is sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% (both page and size have descriptions). The description does not add any additional meaning beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline score of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('list') and the resource ('recurring invoice templates') and specifies the source ('Lexware'). It distinguishes from sibling list tools by specifying 'recurring invoice templates,' but does not explicitly differentiate from the sibling 'get' tool (lexware_get_recurring_template) or other list tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to use list vs get, or which pagination parameters are appropriate). There are no usage contexts, prerequisites, or exclusion criteria.
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 does not add behavioral details beyond what annotations already indicate (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false). It offers no insights into side effects, required permissions, or reversibility, but 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.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of the nested input schema and absence of output schema, the description is too minimal. It omits details about prerequisites, error handling, or effects after creation, leaving significant gaps for the agent.
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 provides a description for the 'body' parameter listing key fields, so schema coverage is 100%. The tool description itself adds no additional semantic value beyond referencing the API docs.
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 action ('Create'), the resource ('credit note'), and the system ('in Lexware'). It distinguishes this tool from other create tools like lexware_create_invoice or lexware_create_quotation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to create a credit note instead of an invoice or delivery note). The description lacks context on prerequisites or usage scenarios.
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?

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 the single parameter 'id' (described as 'Dunning UUID'). The description does not add any additional meaning or context beyond the schema, meeting the baseline for high coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Get a direct link') and the resource ('a dunning'). It distinguishes from sibling deeplink tools which target other entities, but does not explicitly differentiate from other dunning-related tools like get_dunning or pursue_dunning.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool vs alternatives. For example, it doesn't mention that this is for generating a UI link versus retrieving data programmatically, nor does it reference sibling tools.
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 indicate a safe, idempotent read operation. The description adds only 'PDF file' but no additional behavioral context (e.g., response format, error handling). With annotations, the bar is lower, and the description does not contradict them.
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, short sentence that conveys the essential action without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and efficient.
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 simplicity of the tool (one parameter, no output schema, full annotation coverage), the description is nearly complete. It could mention that the response is a PDF binary, but the schema and annotations cover the safety profile adequately.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema already fully describes the single 'id' parameter as a UUID with a description. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool downloads a PDF file for a delivery note. It specifies the verb (Download) and resource (PDF file for a delivery note), but it does not differentiate from sibling download tools beyond the document type, making it slightly less specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives (e.g., other download_file tools). The context is implied by the required parameter, but explicit conditions or exclusions are missing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare the tool as read-only, non-destructive, idempotent, and open-world. The description adds that it returns base64 content, which is helpful but does not disclose other behavioral traits like file size limits or error handling.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at two sentences, front-loading the action and output format without any fluff. Every word is meaningful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple one-parameter tool, the description provides essential information (base64 output) and sufficient context for invocation. However, it could be more complete by mentioning that this tool is for generic file downloads not covered by specific document-type download tools.
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% coverage with a description of the 'id' parameter as 'File UUID'. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond that, so the baseline score of 3 applies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Download'), the resource ('a file from Lexware'), and the output format ('base64-encoded content'). However, it does not differentiate this generic download tool from the many sibling tools for specific document types (e.g., lexware_download_invoice_file), which could cause confusion about when to use this tool.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus the specific download tools for invoices, credit notes, etc. The agent is left to infer based on the naming convention, which is not explicitly explained.
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 indicate safe read-only, non-destructive, idempotent behavior. The description adds no further behavioral context beyond confirming the download action.

Schema coverage is 100%, and the description adds some context (e.g., relationship to preceding voucher, same shape as lexware_create_invoice for body). However, the body parameter lacks detailed field explanations, relying on external docs.
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 creates a new invoice as a follow-up to a preceding sales voucher (quotation, order confirmation, or delivery note), distinguishing it from other create tools like lexware_create_invoice.
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 explains that this tool is used to create an invoice from a preceding voucher and mentions the finalize parameter behavior. While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use it, 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.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false (mutates) and destructiveHint=false. The description adds that it creates a new entity and references a preceding voucher, which is consistent. No additional side effects or behavioral nuances are disclosed.
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 two sentences, front-loaded with the core action and purpose, and contains no redundant information. Every sentence adds meaningful context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a creation tool without an output schema, the description adequately covers input parameters and the relationship to preceding vouchers. It could mention return value expectations, but the lack is acceptable as the tool's primary purpose is mutation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and both parameters have descriptions. The body parameter description adds value by referencing the sibling tool lexware_create_order_confirmation and directing to Lexware API docs for full schema, which helps the agent understand the expected structure.
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 creates an order confirmation as a follow-up to a quotation, and maps to a specific endpoint. This distinguishes it from siblings like lexware_create_order_confirmation which creates a standalone order confirmation.
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 indicates the tool is for creating order confirmations from preceding quotations, providing clear context. It does not explicitly state when not to use or mention alternatives, but the sibling lexware_create_order_confirmation is implied for standalone creation.
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 adds behavioral context beyond annotations by specifying optimistic locking via a version field. Annotations indicate idempotentHint=true, which aligns with updates. There is no contradiction; the description reinforces the non-readOnly nature and provides safety semantics.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: two sentences covering the action and a critical requirement. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource, making it efficient for agent scanning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For an update tool with two required parameters and no output schema, the description is largely complete. It explains the version field necessity. However, it could mention that the contact must exist before updating, but this is implicit from 'existing contact'. Overall, sufficient given the tool's simplicity.
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 (id and body). The description repeats that the body must include the version field, which is already in the schema description 'Contact JSON with version field'. It does not add significant new parameter-level meaning beyond the schema.
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 action 'Update' on the resource 'existing contact'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like lexware_create_contact, lexware_get_contact, lexware_delete_contact, etc., by specifying the update operation and mentioning the version field for optimistic locking.
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 explicitly requires the body to include a version field for optimistic locking, providing specific usage guidance. However, it does not contrast with alternatives (e.g., when to update vs. create) or mention prerequisites like the contact must exist. Still, the context is clear enough for most agents.
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, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, fully covering safety and idempotency. The description adds context about the target (inbox of newly-uploaded files) but does not reveal additional behavioral traits beyond what annotations provide.
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 with no redundant words. It efficiently communicates the tool's purpose without exceeding its scope.
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?
For a simple no-parameter, no-output-schema tool, the description is complete. It specifies the return type (direct link) and the exact context (bookkeeping inbox of newly-uploaded files), leaving no ambiguity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Tool has zero parameters and schema coverage is 100%. According to rubric, baseline for 0 parameters is 4. 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.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it provides a direct link to the bookkeeping inbox for newly-uploaded files. It uses specific verb 'get' and identifies the resource, distinguishing it from sibling deeplink tools focused on specific document types like vouchers or invoices.
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 obtaining a link to the files inbox, which is distinct from other deeplink tools. While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use alternatives, the context is clear enough for an agent to select it appropriately.
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 provide readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, so the description does not need to add much. It adds the scope of 'all available' categories, but no additional behavioral context 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
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that directly conveys the tool's purpose with no unnecessary words.
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?
Given no parameters and annotations covering safety, the description is complete for a simple list tool. No output schema is needed for this straightforward operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4; the description adds no parameter details because none exist.
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 lists all available posting categories for bookkeeping, which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling list tools like list_articles or list_contacts.
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 implicitly indicates when to use this tool (when you need posting categories), but it does not provide explicit when-not-to-use or alternative guidance. However, the purpose is clear enough for a simple list operation.
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 public key fetch-on-first-call caching behavior and env var override, adding value beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint). No contradiction with 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?
Two sentences: first explains purpose, second provides critical usage guidance. Every sentence earns its place; no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Lacks description of return value (e.g., boolean, object). With no output schema, the agent must infer behavior. Sufficient for basic usage but incomplete for advanced handling.
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 description reinforces schema descriptions without adding significant new constraints. 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 'Verify a Lexware webhook X-Lxo-Signature' with specific algorithm (RSA-SHA512, base64). Distinct from all sibling tools which deal with CRUD operations on articles, contacts, invoices, etc.
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?
Explicitly instructs to pass exact raw HTTP body bytes and warns against JSON round-tripping. Also explains caching and production override. No exclusions needed as no sibling provides alternative verification.
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 indicate readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false, openWorldHint=true. The description adds key behavioral traits: creation with finalize=true is the only way to obtain a finalized invoice, and drafts cannot be finalized later. This goes beyond the annotations without contradicting them.
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 two sentences: the first delivers the primary purpose and key parameter behavior, the second provides an essential caveat. No extraneous information, perfectly concise and 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?
Given the complexity (nested body, no output schema), the description covers the critical behavioral nuance and parameter semantics. It does not specify the return value, but many creation tools implicitly return the created object. The description is nearly complete for an agent to understand when and how to invoke the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with detailed descriptions for both parameters. The description adds further context for the finalize parameter, especially the limitation about drafts. For the body parameter, the schema already lists key fields, so the description does not add much, but overall the combination is sufficient.
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 explicitly states 'Create a new invoice in Lexware', specifying both the action (create) and the resource (invoice). Among many sibling tools like lexware_create_credit_note and lexware_create_quotation, this clearly distinguishes the tool for invoices. The finalize parameter detail further clarifies the specific output.
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 provides clear guidance on when to set finalize=true (for immediate finalization) versus omit/false (draft). It also warns that finalizing an existing draft is not supported, which is critical context. However, it does not explicitly compare with other create tools for different document types, though the purpose implies use only for invoices.
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 declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive. The description adds value by noting the API 'returns whatever representation it can render,' which hints at potential fallback behavior 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, immediately front-loaded with the main action. Every sentence adds necessary information with no redundancy or filler.
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 tool is a simple download with two well-documented parameters and no output schema, the description covers the essential behavior and format options. It could mention response type (e.g., binary file), but the context of similar download tools in the list implies standard file download handling.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds nuance about the format parameter: it indicates that XML is for XRechnung e-invoice and notes availability ('when available'), which is not fully captured in the schema description.
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 downloads a file for a down payment invoice, specifically differentiating it from sibling download tools for other document types. It mentions default PDF and optional XML format, 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 Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description tells when to use each format: default PDF, or pass format='xml' for XRechnung XML when available. It does not explicitly exclude alternatives, but the tool name and context make it clear this is for down payment invoices only.
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, idempotentHint, and non-destructive. The description adds that the API returns whatever representation it can render, which clarifies behavior beyond annotations. No contradiction.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no wasted words. Every clause adds value: verb+resource, default behavior, optional parameter, caveat on API behavior.
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?
Given simple parameters (2, one optional) and no output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool does and what to expect. Annotations confirm safety. No missing critical information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema provides full parameter descriptions (100% coverage). The description adds context beyond schema: default to PDF, XML for XRechnung, and that the API returns whatever it can render. This helps the agent understand the behavior of the format parameter.
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 action (download) and resource (invoice file). It specifies the default format (PDF) and an alternative format (XML). Among many sibling download tools, the name and description uniquely identify this tool for invoice files.
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 downloading invoice files. It doesn't explicitly list alternatives, but the tool name and context among sibling download tools make the purpose clear. The added note about format="xml" provides guidance on optional usage.
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 non-readOnly, non-destructive, and non-idempotent. Description adds endpoint mapping and clarifies it's a creation operation, consistent with 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?
Two concise sentences, no extraneous information, front-loaded with core purpose.
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?
Given 2 required params, no output schema, and annotations, the description provides sufficient information for an agent to use the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Both parameters have schema descriptions. Description adds context: precedingSalesVoucherId as UUID of preceding document, body references sibling tool's schema for details.
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 'create a new delivery note as a follow-up to a preceding quotation or order confirmation', distinguishing it from standalone creation tools like lexware_create_delivery_note.
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?
Specifies when to use (follow-up to quotation or order confirmation). Does not explicitly list when not to use, but context of sibling tools implies alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
