Calculate the contrast ratio between two colors to verify accessibility compliance for web design.

Instructions

Check the contrast ratio between two colors.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided; description fails to disclose behavioral traits such as whether the tool is read-only, what color formats are accepted, or what the output looks like. It only states the basic function.

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?

Single sentence that is front-loaded and contains no redundant words. However, it could include more useful details 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?

Despite simplicity, description lacks critical context like expected color format and return value. No output schema; description should compensate but does not.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0% and description adds no semantics beyond the parameter names 'foreground' and 'background'. No guidance on accepted formats (hex, rgb, etc.) or constraints.

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 explicitly states verb 'Check' and resource 'contrast ratio between two colors'. It clearly distinguishes from siblings like color_convert or color_mix by focusing on contrast ratio.

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 checking contrast ratio but provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites, and no context about accessibility or design applications.

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