Server Quality Checklist

Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

Latest release: v0.1.0
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct entity or action (e.g., list_alerts vs get_alert vs generate_alert_link). Overlap is minimal and descriptions clearly distinguish them.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tools follow the verb_noun pattern consistently (e.g., list_resources, get_resource, generate_resource_link). The naming is predictable and easy to navigate.
Tool Count2/5
70 tools is excessive for the scope. While the server covers many features, it would benefit from consolidation (e.g., merging list/get pairs or using parameters). This volume may overwhelm an agent.
Completeness4/5
The tool surface covers most CRUD operations and key workflows for alerts, resources, websites, dashboards, etc. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no update_resource or update_dashboard), but core paths are complete.
Average 4.6/5 across 70 of 70 tools scored. Lowest: 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

Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, indicating safe read operation. The description adds useful details about returned fields (type, name, contact info, etc.) but does not disclose any additional behavioral traits like permissions or error conditions. It does not contradict annotations.
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?
The description is well-structured with sections and bullet points, making it easy to scan. Minor redundancy exists between 'Returns:' and 'Details returned:' sections, but overall it is 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?
No output schema is provided, so the description compensates by thoroughly listing return fields (contact info, schedule, rate limit, method). It includes workflow guidance and related tools, making it fully complete for the tool's complexity.
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?
Input schema coverage is 100% since both parameters (recipientId, fields) are described in the schema. The description does not add parameter-level details but explains the return structure, which is acceptable for a baseline score.
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 explicitly states 'Get detailed information about a specific recipient by ID' with a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes from siblings like 'list_recipients' which finds recipients by ID first.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear use cases: verify contact info, check schedule, review rate limits, audit configuration. It also suggests a workflow using 'list_recipients' first. Though it lacks explicit 'when not to use' statements, the context is sufficient.
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?
Annotations include readOnlyHint: true, and description does not contradict. It adds context: returns full URL with group hierarchy, dashboard details, and URL pattern. No destructive behavior mentioned.
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?
Well-structured with sections, but slightly verbose for a simple tool. Markdown headers and clear sentences. Could be more concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, so description explains return values: complete URL, group path, dashboard details, and URL pattern. Mentions related tools. Lacks error handling info but sufficient for the task.
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?
Only one parameter 'dashboardId' with schema description covering 100%. Description does not add significant meaning beyond schema. Baseline 3 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 clearly states it generates a direct URL/link for a LogicMonitor dashboard, using specific verb 'generate' and resource 'dashboard link'. It distinguishes from siblings like generate_alert_link and generate_resource_link.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit 'When to use' section with examples (share in Slack, documentation, runbooks, reports) and 'Why use this' explaining value. Also suggests workflow with list_dashboards. Lacks explicit 'when not to use', 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.
Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, so the agent knows it's a read operation. The description adds detail about the return content but does not disclose additional behavioral traits like authentication requirements, rate limits, or side effects. The description is consistent with annotations and does not contradict them.
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?
The description is well-structured with clear sections (Returns, When to use, Workflow, Related tools) using markdown headers and bullet points. It is readable but slightly verbose; some redundancy exists (e.g., the first sentence is repeated in Returns). Overall, it effectively communicates without being excessively long.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no output schema, the description compensates by listing the return fields (name, full path, etc.). It also provides usage workflow and related tools, making it complete for a simple get tool with 2 parameters. It could mention handling of the optional fields parameter or limits of the response, but overall it provides sufficient context for an agent.
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 coverage is 100% with both parameters (groupId, fields) described. The description does not add new semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides for these parameters. However, the listing of returned fields gives context that might indirectly help parameter selection but does not directly enhance parameter semantics.
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 states the tool retrieves detailed information about a specific service group by ID. It specifically uses the verb 'Get' and resource 'service group', and the returns section lists specific fields. It differentiates from sibling tools like list_service_groups (which finds groups) and get_service (for individual services), as shown in the related tools section.
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?
The description provides explicit 'When to use' bullet points (e.g., get group path, check membership counts) and a workflow that instructs to use list_service_groups first to find the groupId. It also lists related tools with their purposes, giving clear guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives.
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?
Annotations only provide readOnlyHint=true. The description adds the URL pattern and states it returns a direct link, which confirms no side effects. It doesn't mention authentication or rate limits, but for a simple link generator this is sufficient.
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?
The description is well-structured with clear sections and front-loaded purpose. While somewhat verbose, each section adds value. Could be tightened slightly, but is effective and not overly long.
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 the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description covers return value, use cases, workflow, and related tools. It is fully self-contained and leaves no ambiguity for an AI agent.
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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds context by explaining in the workflow how to obtain the alertId (from list_alerts), but does not provide additional syntax or format details beyond the schema. This is adequate but not exceptional.
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 starts with a clear verb and resource: 'Generate a direct URL/link/weburl for a LogicMonitor (LM) alert.' It explicitly distinguishes from sibling tools by specifying the alert context, and the use cases and workflow further reinforce the purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description clearly states the tool lists audit logs for compliance and security auditing, with specific verb (list) and resource (audit logs). It distinguishes from sibling 'get_audit_log' which retrieves details of a specific entry.
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?
Provides extensive guidance on when to use (investigate changes, track user activity, etc.), two search modes (simple vs. advanced), common filter patterns, and explicitly mentions related tool 'get_audit_log'. Includes when to use query vs. filter with examples.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint: true, which the description does not contradict. The description adds important behavioral details: warning about negative 'total' indicating incomplete results, and explanation of autoPaginate behavior. This adds value beyond annotations.
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?
The description is well-structured with headings, bullet points, and clear sections. It is slightly lengthy but every sentence adds value. Front-loaded with purpose and return specification.
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?
No output schema, but the description specifies the return format: 'Array of dashboards with: id, name, description, groupId, groupName, widget count, owner.' It also covers pagination, filtering, and related tools, making it fully complete for a list tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema covers 100% of parameters, and the description enriches them with 'Common filter patterns' (e.g., examples for filter), explanation of autoPaginate behavior, and fields usage. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema descriptions.
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 states 'List all dashboards in LogicMonitor (LM) monitoring.' It specifies the verb (list), resource (dashboards), and scope (all). It distinguishes from siblings like get_dashboard (details) and generate_dashboard_link (get URL) in the 'Related tools' section.
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?
The description includes a dedicated 'When to use:' section with specific scenarios (e.g., find AWS/Azure dashboards, discover pre-built, get IDs for links). It also provides common filter patterns, a next step, and references to related tools, making usage very clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true. Description adds value by explaining that SDTs suppress alerting during maintenance, describes return structure, and warns about negative total values indicating incomplete results. No contradictions with annotations.
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?
While longer, the description is well-structured with clear sections (returns, what are SDTs, when to use, filter patterns, types, best practice, important note, related tools). Front-loaded with main purpose. Slightly verbose but every sentence adds value.
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?
Despite no output schema, description fully documents return structure. Covers edge cases (negative total), best practices (meaningful comments), and common use cases. For a list tool with 5 parameters and no output schema, this is complete and self-contained.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 5 parameters. Description adds filter pattern examples (e.g., 'isEffective:true') and clarifies autoPaginate behavior beyond schema, providing meaningful additional context.
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 states 'List all Scheduled Down Times (SDTs) in LogicMonitor (LM) monitoring.' It uses a specific verb+resource combination and explains what SDTs are, distinguishing it from sibling tool 'get_sdt' which retrieves a single SDT.
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?
Provides explicit 'When to use' section with five specific scenarios (view active, check upcoming, verify creation, etc.), common filter patterns, SDT types explained, and related tools. This gives comprehensive guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint=true; description adds valuable behavioral context by listing key return fields (instanceNumber, status, alertStatus) and confirming it returns 'complete details'. 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Well-structured with sections: purpose, returns, when to use, key fields, workflow, related tools. Each sentence is valuable; no fluff. Front-loaded with main purpose.
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?
Despite no output schema, the description compensates by listing return fields and explaining use cases. It covers prerequisites (use list to get ID), and provides enough detail for an agent to decide if this tool is appropriate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 100% coverage, but description adds context: explains 'fields' parameter with examples, and interprets key fields like 'instanceNumber' and 'status' in plain language. This helps agents understand parameter usage and return value semantics.
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 states the tool retrieves detailed information about a datasource applied to a resource. It uses specific verb 'Get' and resource 'datasource details', and distinguishes from siblings like 'list_resource_datasources' and 'get_datasource' via related tools section.
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?
Explicit 'When to use:' section lists concrete scenarios (check collection, review alert status, etc.). Also provides a workflow suggestion using 'list_device_datasources' first, and lists related tools for alternative actions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
