Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct input type: file, snippet, or git diff. The descriptions clearly differentiate them, leaving no ambiguity about when to use each.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow the consistent 'review_<source>' pattern (review_code_file, review_code_snippet, review_git_diff), making naming predictable and clear.
Tool Count5/5Three tools is appropriate for the code review domain, covering the main scenarios without being too few or too many.
Completeness4/5The surface covers the primary use cases: reviewing files, snippets, and diffs. Potential additions like reviewing a pull request or URL are missing but not essential.
Average 3.9/5 across 3 of 3 tools scored. Lowest: 3.3/5.

How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
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 burden. It does not disclose behavioral traits such as auth needs, rate limits, side effects, or that the tool is read-only.
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 compact (4 sentences), front-loaded with the main purpose. Slight redundancy in listing 'new files' twice, but overall efficient.
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?
With only one parameter and an output schema present, description covers basic needs. However, it misses differentiation from sibling tools, which reduces completeness for an agent choosing between tools.
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 0% (no parameter descriptions in schema). Description adds meaning by stating filepath is absolute and language auto-detected, which is valuable context beyond the bare 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?
Description clearly states the tool reviews entire source files for bugs and improvements, mentions absolute path and language auto-detection. It gives use cases but does not explicitly contrast with siblings like review_code_snippet or review_git_diff.
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?
Description provides 'Best for' guidance (new files, rewrites, comprehensive analysis) but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or direct comparisons to sibling tools.
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 bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. The description only says 'review' but does not explain what the review entails, what output is returned, or any side effects. Since an output schema exists but isn't described, the agent lacks critical behavioral insights beyond the basic operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with no wasted sentences. It opens with a clear purpose statement, follows with a usage paragraph, and then lists parameters. The structure is front-loaded and easy to parse. Every sentence adds value.
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 (2 parameters, one required, no annotations), the description covers the main aspects: what it does, when to use it, and what parameters are needed. However, it omits the output format (despite an output schema existing) and lacks behavioral details. It is minimally adequate but not fully comprehensive.
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 description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by listing both parameters in an Args block with brief explanations: 'code: The source code to review' and 'language: Programming language (python, javascript, rust, go, etc.)'. This adds meaning beyond the schema, which only provides titles and types. However, it does not clarify defaults or constraints beyond examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'review' and the resource 'code snippet' and explicitly distinguishes it from file-based review by saying 'not from a file'. It also mentions the language parameter, making the purpose unambiguous and differentiating it from sibling tools like review_code_file and review_git_diff.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly states when to use the tool: 'when you have a small piece of code to review that isn't in a file yet, or when you want to review an isolated snippet.' It does not explicitly state when not to use or name alternatives, but the sibling tools provide context for exclusion. This is clear but not exhaustive.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, but description discloses output format (structured with severity levels). No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences plus example, front-loaded with purpose. No unnecessary text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given simplicity (one param, no annotations, has output schema), description covers input format, output format, and usage example completely.
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?
Only one parameter (diff), schema has no description (0% coverage). Description clarifies it accepts 'git diff' output as plain text, adding 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?
Clearly states it reviews git diffs for bugs, security, and improvements, with a structured output. Distinct from siblings (code file/snippet review).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Describes input (git diff output) and gives example usage. Implicitly distinguishes from siblings, but no explicit when-not to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
