FactorHub MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.1
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of financial data analysis: factor performance vs scores, index vs stock data, stock info vs list, valuation, backtesting, and configuration. No two tools serve the same purpose.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., get_factor_nav, list_factors, run_backtest). The conventions are uniform across all 11 tools.
Tool Count5/5With 11 tools, the server covers core operations for factor analysis, stock data, index data, backtesting, and configuration. The count is well-scoped without being overwhelming or insufficient.
Completeness4/5The tool set covers essential CRUD-like operations for factor data, stocks, indices, and backtesting. Minor gaps exist, such as lack of bulk data retrieval or more customizable backtest parameters, but the core workflows are well-supported.
Average 3/5 across 11 of 11 tools scored. Lowest: 2.4/5.

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?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read/write nature, rate limits, or error handling. It simply describes the action without additional context beyond the basic functionality.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very brief (two sentences), which is concise but may be too short given the lack of parameter documentation. It is front-loaded but under-specified for a tool with three parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description fails to cover parameter semantics or usage context. With three parameters and no parameter descriptions, the description is incomplete for effective tool invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any parameter meanings. It only provides example values for ts_code, leaving start_date and end_date completely undocumented. The description adds negligible value over the 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?
The description clearly states 'get index daily market data' (获取指数日线行情) and provides common index codes. It is specific about the resource (indices) but does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like get_market_daily, though the context strongly implies it is for indices only.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. It merely lists common index codes without explaining when to use each.
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 provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only status, authentication needs, or response format. It adds no value beyond the basic purpose.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, front-loading the verb. However, it lacks structure (e.g., separating purpose from usage) and could be expanded with minimal additional detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of required parameters and presence of an output schema, the description should guide on output format or common parameter combinations. It does not, leaving the agent underinformed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description does not explain the meaning of the two parameters (ts_code, trade_date), leaving the agent without guidance on how to specify them. The tool name offers a weak hint, but it is insufficient.
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?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves stock valuation indicators (PE, PB, PS, etc.), providing a specific verb and resource. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like get_factor_nav or get_index_daily, which might have overlapping purposes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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, no prerequisites or when-not-to-use conditions. The description only states what it does, leaving the agent to infer context.
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, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits beyond the basic purpose. It does not state whether the operation is read-only, safe, or has side effects, nor does it mention authentication needs or rate limits. For a tool with no annotations, the description carries full burden and falls short.
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?
The description is a single concise sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and avoids fluff, though slightly more context could be included without harming conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of three parameters (one required) and no schema descriptions, the description is incomplete. It does not explain parameter semantics or usage nuances. Although an output schema exists (so return format is not required), the lack of parameter guidance makes the tool hard to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% (no descriptions in the input schema), and the description does not explain the purpose or format of any parameter (code, start_date, end_date). With three parameters and no added meaning, the agent cannot determine how to fill them correctly.
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 '获取' (get) and the resource '因子净值曲线数据' (factor NAV curve data), along with the purpose of analyzing historical performance trends. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'get_factor_scores' which likely returns scores, not NAV curves.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 (e.g., get_factor_scores), nor does it mention prerequisites or context such as required code format or date range conventions. This lack of usage guidance leaves the agent uncertain about selecting this tool.
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 provided. Description does not mention behavioral traits such as read-only nature, rate limits, or pagination behavior despite having page parameters.
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 sentences efficiently convey purpose without waste.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite output schema existing, description lacks details on pagination, industry value formats, and the tool's overall return structure.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema descriptions are missing (0% coverage). Description adds meaning for exchange (SSE/SZSE) and industry filters, but ignores page and page_size parameters.
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?
Clearly states it filters stock list by exchange and industry, distinguishing from sibling tools that focus on single stock info or indices.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this vs other tools like get_stock_info. No mention of prerequisites or alternatives.
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?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. The description lists key output metrics but does not disclose behavior such as date range handling, error conditions, or performance implications. It adds value by detailing output but lacks depth.
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?
The description is a single concise sentence that effectively communicates the tool's purpose. It is front-loaded with the key action and resource. While not overly lengthy, it could be slightly more structured (e.g., breaking out parameters).
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?
An output schema exists, so the description need not explain return values in detail, but the tool has 3 parameters and no annotations. The description provides a list of key metrics but omits context like default date range, authentication needs, or data completeness. It is adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, meaning the description does not explain any parameter. It implies 'code' identifies the factor but gives no details on 'start_date' or 'end_date' (e.g., format, default behavior). The description does not compensate for the schema gap.
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?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves detailed scoring indicators for a single factor and lists specific metrics (annualized return, Sharpe ratio, etc.). It distinguishes the tool from siblings like list_factors (which lists all factors) and get_factor_nav (which likely returns net asset value). However, it does not explicitly contrast with siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or restrictions. It lacks exclusions or context like 'only for single factor' which is implicit.
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?
With no annotations provided, the description must fully convey behavior. It indicates a read-only query operation returning a list of trading days, which is sufficient for a simple retrieval tool. However, it does not disclose any constraints (e.g., date format, holiday treatment) 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, concise and front-loaded. No redundant words. However, it omits details that could be added without much bloat, like date format.
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 there is an output schema (context signal), the description does not need to explain return values. The tool has two simple parameters with no required fields. The description is minimally adequate for a straightforward query tool, but lacks details on parameter constraints.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It mentions '指定时间段' (specified time period) linking to start_date and end_date, but provides no format, default behavior, or meaning beyond what the parameter names imply. Minimal added value.
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 retrieves a list of trading days within a date range ('获取交易日历,查询指定时间段内的交易日列表'). It specifies both the verb (query) and the resource (trade dates), and it is distinguishable from sibling tools that deal with factors, indices, or stock info.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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, no prerequisites or exclusions mentioned. The description only states the function without contextual usage direction.
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 exist, so the description must carry the burden. It does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, any side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits. Only the data content (OHLCV + 涨跌幅) is mentioned.
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 extremely concise: two short sentences. The first states purpose and output, the second provides an example. No unnecessary text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description lacks explanation of return format, date handling, and usage context. For a tool with 3 parameters and no annotations, this is insufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but only provides a ts_code example. The format for start_date and end_date is not explained, and no default values or valid formats are given.
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 tool's purpose: '获取个股日线行情数据' (get daily stock market data) with specific fields (OHLCV + 涨跌幅). It distinguishes from siblings like get_index_daily by focusing on individual stocks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives (e.g., get_index_daily for indices) or prerequisites. The example only shows ts_code format, lacking context like date range conventions.
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?
Description only lists output fields without disclosing behavioral traits such as error handling, data freshness, or prerequisites. Since no annotations exist, the description should provide this context but fails to do so.
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?
Description is a single, efficient sentence that directly conveys purpose. No redundant information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description lacks crucial context: no usage guidelines, no error handling info, no authentication requirements. For a simple tool, more completeness is expected.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The required parameter 'ts_code' is not explained in the description. While its name suggests a stock ticker, the format (exchange suffix, numeric range) is not specified. With 0% schema description coverage, the description should clarify parameter semantics but fails to do so.
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?
Description clearly states it retrieves basic information for a single stock, listing specific fields (name, industry, listing date, market sector), which differentiates it from sibling tools like get_stock_list (list all stocks) and get_market_daily (daily trading data).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description provides no usage guidelines, such as when to prefer this tool over siblings like get_stock_list or get_valuation. It does not specify prerequisites or context for use.
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?
With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It lists built-in strategies and return metrics, but does not mention side effects (e.g., modification of state), authorization requirements, or rate limits. The description gives a moderate level of transparency but lacks critical behavioral details.
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?
The description is short (two sentences) and front-loads the primary purpose. However, it lacks structure such as separating usage from parameters. It could be more concise about parameter details, but overall it is reasonably compact.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 6 parameters with no schema descriptions, no annotations, and an output schema is present but not detailed, the description is incomplete. It does not explain parameter formats, dependencies, or how to properly configure a backtest. The high-level overview is insufficient for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should explain all parameters. It only mentions strategy_type by listing built-in strategies, but does not describe strategy_params, universe, start, end, or initial_capital. This is insufficient for parameter understanding.
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 tool's purpose: '执行量化策略回测' (execute quantitative strategy backtest). It lists built-in strategies and key output metrics, making the verb and resource unambiguous. This distinguishes it from sibling tools which are primarily data retrieval functions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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. While siblings are data retrieval tools, the description does not explicitly state that this tool is for backtesting simulation, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions.
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?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses return fields (code, name, category, annualized return, Sharpe ratio) but omits behavioral traits such as pagination behavior, rate limits, or read-only nature. The description does not contradict any missing annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences in Chinese, no redundant information. Every sentence adds value: what the tool does, how to filter, and what is returned. Ideal length for quick comprehension.
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 existence of an output schema (not shown), the return field list in the description adds useful context. However, pagination behavior and parameter semantics are underspecified. The description is minimally adequate for a simple list tool but lacks guidance on handling result sets.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description only mentions two parameters (category and search) but does not clarify their format, allowed values, or behavior. Pagination parameters (page, page_size) are ignored, leaving the agent without semantic guidance beyond parameter names.
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 tool retrieves a factor list with support for category and keyword search, and explicitly lists return fields (code, name, category, annualized return, Sharpe ratio). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like `get_factor_nav` or `get_factor_scores` which target specific factor metrics.
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?
The description mentions search capabilities (category and keyword), providing some usage context, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, or when not to use it. No prerequisites or exclusions are noted.
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, and the description does not disclose important behavioral details such as whether the key is overwritten if already set, security implications, or persistence across sessions. It only mentions session-level effect.
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 extremely concise: a single clear sentence and a URL. It is front-loaded with the purpose and minimally worded, with no superfluous content.
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 (single parameter, no nested objects, output schema exists), the description is adequate but lacks details on error handling, key validation, and response behavior. It covers the core function minimally.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter 'api_key' is a string with no description in the schema (0% coverage). The description implies it's the API key but does not specify format, length, or validation rules, adding minimal value beyond the 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?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: setting the FactorHub API Key. It uses a specific verb ('设置') and resource ('FactorHub API Key'), and distinguishes it from sibling tools which are all data retrieval or analysis tools.
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 provides context for when to use the tool (first-time setup, '设置后本次会话将使用你的专属额度') and includes a registration URL. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives, though no alternative exists among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
