Verify RawTherapee installation and server configuration by checking version, CLI path, platform, and output directories. Use first when troubleshooting setup issues.

Instructions

Check RawTherapee installation status and server configuration.

Use this to verify RT is installed, check its version, and view the configured output directories. Call this first when troubleshooting. Returns: dict with installed, cli_path, version, platform, and directory paths.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Describes the return value (a dict with specific fields) and implies read-only behavior. Without annotations, it could explicitly state no side effects, but the description is sufficiently transparent for a status check.

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 plus a return type line. Front-loaded with purpose, no wasted words. Highly efficient.

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 the presence of an output schema, the description fully covers the tool's purpose and results. No gaps remain.

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?

No parameters exist, so schema coverage is complete. The description explains what the tool does without needing parameter details, which 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 uses a specific verb ('Check') and resource ('RawTherapee installation status and server configuration'), and clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like check_lens_support by focusing on the tool itself.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly advises 'Call this first when troubleshooting' and states use cases: verify installation, check version, view directories. No alternative tools mentioned but context is clear.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
