pyroscope-mcp

pyroscope_render_profile

Generate flamegraph and timeline data from continuous profiling queries to analyze application performance.

Instructions

Query the legacy /pyroscope/render endpoint for flamegraph and timeline data.

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations present, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only mentions 'legacy' but fails to disclose idempotency, data sensitivity, authentication requirements, or potential side effects. The description does not add meaningful behavioral context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is a single sentence, which is concise but at the expense of necessary detail for an 8-parameter tool. It is not overly verbose, but it leaves important information out.

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 moderate complexity (8 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description fails to address return format, pagination, error handling, or how the results relate to sibling tools. It is too brief to be 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 description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all 8 parameters. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, meeting the baseline expectation but not exceeding it.

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 specifies the verb 'Query', the resource 'legacy /pyroscope/render endpoint', and the data types 'flamegraph and timeline data'. It distinguishes the tool from siblings by focusing on this specific legacy endpoint.

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 the sibling tools (e.g., pyroscope_connect_query). It lacks context about prerequisites, use cases, or scenarios where this tool is appropriate.

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