Placement Analyzer MCP
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: component analyzers target different platforms, aggregate reports target different metrics, and student queries differ by lookup method. The pipeline analyzer subsumes the individual analyzers without ambiguity, and import/validation/status tools are clearly separated.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (analyze_*, get_*, import_*, validate_*, search_*, list_*), with no mixed conventions or arbitrary names. This makes the tool surface predictable and easy to navigate.
Tool Count4/5At 17 tools, the server is slightly on the heavier side but still well-scoped: the import pipeline (validate/import/status), analysis pipeline (full + component analyzers), and reporting tools each serve distinct needs. The count feels appropriate for the domain, though a couple of tools could theoretically be merged.
Completeness4/5The tool set covers the full workflow: importing data, validating it, running individual component analyses, generating aggregate statistics, and inspecting per-student details like skill evidence, gaps, and completeness. Minor gaps exist (no update/delete for student records, no export tool), but these are peripheral to the analysis-focused purpose.
Average 4.1/5 across 17 of 17 tools scored.

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?
With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden. It states the return value but does not disclose whether the analysis involves network requests, permissions, or any side effects, leaving the agent without a clear behavioral profile.
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 concise and well-structured with an Args/Returns split. The main purpose appears in the first sentence, followed by minimal necessary detail, with no redundant content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has a single parameter and no annotations, and the description covers the input format and return summary. However, it leaves out guidance on selection and behavioral aspects, making it adequate but not comprehensive for a simple analysis tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds value over the schema by specifying that student_id is a UUID, whereas the schema only indicates a string type. It also clarifies that the ID identifies the student whose portfolio is analyzed.
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 identifies the tool's function: analyzing a student's portfolio website, with a specific verb ('Analyze') and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like analyze_resume and analyze_github by focusing on the portfolio website.
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 when-to-use guidance or alternative tool references. While it implies usage for portfolio analysis, it does not help the agent choose between this and similarly named sibling tools like analyze_student or analyze_resume.
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 the full burden. It discloses the output categories and states that recommendations are returned, adding some behavioral context. However, it does not explicitly confirm read-only behavior, permissions, or side effects, though 'Get' strongly implies a safe read. It partially covers what an agent should expect.
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 concise and front-loaded with the core purpose, followed by a compact Args/Returns structure. It avoids unnecessary filler. The phrase 'identified for a student' is slightly redundant with the tool name, but overall every sentence adds useful information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a low-complexity tool with one parameter and an output schema, the description covers the primary usage, the parameter format, and the return content. It lacks explicit usage guidelines and prerequisites (e.g., student must exist), but given the output schema exists, the description is reasonably complete for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description compensates by adding that student_id is a UUID, clarifying the expected format beyond the schema's generic string type. It does not provide additional details like formats or validation rules, but for a single simple parameter this is adequate. It improves on the schema but does not fully enrich it.
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?
Clear verb+resource: 'Get skill gaps identified for a student.' The description further specifies the three gap categories (missing, weakly evidenced, declared-but-unverified), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_skill_evidence that focus on evidence rather than gap analysis.
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?
Usage is implied: invoke for a student to receive a skill gap analysis. No explicit comparison to sibling tools (e.g., get_skill_evidence, get_profile_completeness) nor any when-not-to-use guidance. It is not misleading, just missing explicit 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?
With no annotations provided, the description must carry the full burden. It discloses that the profile is public and that the analysis includes repositories, languages, and activity. However, it does not mention whether the operation is read-only, if there are rate limits, authentication requirements, or any side effects. The public nature and return contents provide some transparency, but not rich behavioral detail.
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 and well-structured, with clear 'Args' and 'Returns' sections. Every sentence adds value, and the purpose is front-loaded. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one required parameter), the description is fairly complete. It specifies the output domains (repositories, languages, activity), and since an output schema exists, the return format is documented elsewhere. It does not mention prerequisites like an existing student record or connected GitHub account, but this is a minor gap for such a focused tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description compensates. It defines student_id as 'The student's UUID', adding a semantic type beyond the schema's 'Student Id' string. This clarifies the expected format, which is valuable for a single-parameter tool.
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 'analyze' and the resource 'student's public GitHub profile', which is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools like analyze_resume and analyze_leetcode. The scope is unambiguous.
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. It only describes what the tool does, without any mention of preferred contexts, exclusions, or alternative tools. No 'use this when' or 'instead of' language is present.
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 carries the full burden. It explains the output structure (evidence sources and strength levels) but does not explicitly confirm read-only behavior, permissions, or potential edge cases. The verb 'Get' implies a safe operation, but that is not explicitly stated, leaving some ambiguity.
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 concise and well-structured. It opens with a clear one-sentence purpose, then succinctly describes the output, and finally lists the argument and return format. Every sentence adds value; no filler or redundant text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has a single parameter and an output schema, so the description doesn't need to detail return values. It adequately covers purpose, parameter semantics, and high-level output (including the enum values). Missing are potential error conditions or behavior when the student is not found, but for a simple read tool this is acceptable.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema only defines student_id as a string with title 'Student Id' and 0% coverage. The description compensates by specifying 'student_id: The student's UUID,' adding the crucial format detail. This fully clarifies the parameter's meaning 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: 'Get the evidence map for a student's skills.' It specifies the resource (student skills) and the output (evidence map with sources and strength levels). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_skill_distribution or analyze_resume, which address different aspects.
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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or relationships to sibling tools. The context implies a read-only lookup, but no when-to-use or when-not-to-use information is given.
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 present, so the description carries the full transparency burden. It discloses that the tool returns a report of most/least common skills and category clusters, which implies a read-only, non-mutating aggregate operation. However, it does not mention possible caveats such as data source, freshness, or how skills are derived.
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 and front-loaded with the core purpose. It uses bullet-like structure for readability, though the 'Returns:' line is somewhat redundant with the output schema. Overall, every sentence contributes meaningfully.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that the tool has no parameters and includes an output schema, the description is largely complete for a simple aggregate report. It defines the cohort scope and the nature of the report, though it could briefly mention how skills are defined or sourced; this is not a major gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. The description adds meaning by clarifying that the output is a cohort-level distribution, but no parameter-specific explanation is required.
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 identifies the action ('get') and the resource ('distribution of skills') with a specific cohort scope ('across the student cohort'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_skill_gaps and get_skill_evidence by focusing on aggregate cohort-level distribution rather than individual skill analysis.
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 phrase 'across the student cohort' implies an aggregate, cohort-level use case, but the description does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over sibling tools or when not to use it. There is clear context but no explicit alternatives 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?
With no annotations, the description carries full transparency burden. It discloses the report scope and contents, but does not explicitly state read-only behavior, performance implications, or how data is aggregated. Adequate but minimal for a report tool.
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?
Three short lines with no fluff. Leads with the purpose, lists report categories, and mentions return value. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a zero-parameter report tool with an output schema, the description covers the main purpose, scope, and return value. Could add a note about data freshness or when to run, but not critical given the tool's simplicity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters exist, so baseline is 4 per rubric. Description adds no parameter details, but none are needed since schema is empty.
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 the tool generates a data quality report across all imported student data, with specific metric categories (missing fields, invalid URLs, format issues, completeness). This distinguishes it from sibling analytics tools like get_profile_statistics or validate_excel.
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?
Implies usage after data import ('across all imported student data'), but provides no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over alternatives like validate_excel or get_import_status. No exclusions or alternative tool references.
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 the full burden. It discloses that this is a read operation ('Retrieve') and states that it returns a profile with name, email, and roll number. However, it does not mention error handling, permissions, rate limits, or any side effects. For a simple get-by-ID operation, this is minimally adequate.
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, using a clean docstring format with Args and Returns. It contains no fluff, and each sentence adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple (one parameter) and has an output schema that presumably details the return value. The description adds the returned fields (name, email, roll number), which is helpful. It is largely complete for a single-profile retrieval tool, though it could mention behavior if the student does not exist.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema only defines student_id as a string. The description adds that it is a UUID, which is meaningful and helps the agent provide the correct value. With 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates well.
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: 'Retrieve a student's profile by their UUID.' It uses a specific verb (retrieve), specifies the resource (student's profile), and indicates the key parameter (UUID). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_students (bulk retrieval) and search_students (filtered search).
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 implies usage when a student UUID is available, but it does not explicitly mention when to use this tool versus alternatives such as list_students or search_students. No when-not-to-use guidance is provided.
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 must carry the burden. It discloses the return format (percentage and breakdown by section) but does not address potential error cases, authentication needs, rate limits, or what happens if the student_id is invalid. It is adequate for a simple read operation but not extensive.
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 concise and front-loaded with the main purpose, followed by return details and parameter explanation. However, the 'Returns' information is repeated twice (once in prose and once in the Args/Returns block), which is slightly redundant but not harmful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter) and the presence of an output schema, the description is sufficiently complete. It explains the return structure and parameter semantics. It lacks explicit usage guidance or error behavior, but those are not critical for a basic retrieval tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no parameter descriptions (0% coverage), but the description adds meaning by specifying that student_id is a UUID. This compensates for the schema gap, though it could provide more detail about the expected format or possible values.
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 with a specific verb and resource: 'Get the profile completeness score for a student.' It also details what the score includes (breakdown by education, skills, projects, resume, GitHub, etc.), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_profile_statistics or get_skill_distribution.
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 context is clear: it is used to retrieve a student's profile completeness score and section breakdown. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over siblings like analyze_resume or get_skill_gaps, nor does it mention any exclusions 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 the full burden. It notes 'public LeetCode profile,' implying read-only access without authentication, and lists the return content. However, it does not disclose error handling, rate limits, or what happens if the profile is missing—common behavioral context. This is adequate but not comprehensive.
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, with a clear one-sentence purpose followed by an Args/Returns structure. Every word adds value, and there is no redundancy or fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that an output schema exists, the description does not need to detail return values, and it provides the essential behavioral context (public profile, key output topics). It is complete for a low-complexity tool with one parameter, though it could mention error cases or prerequisites. Overall, sufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema only provides the parameter name and type (string), but the description adds 'The student's UUID,' clarifying the expected format and meaning. With 0% schema description coverage, this compensation is valuable and earns a 4.
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 with a specific verb and resource: 'Analyze a student's public LeetCode profile.' It distinguishes itself from siblings like analyze_github and analyze_resume by explicitly focusing on LeetCode, and the mention of output (problems solved, topic distribution) further clarifies its scope.
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 context of use is clear: for analyzing a student's LeetCode profile. No explicit alternatives or when-not-to-use guidelines are provided, but the description implies the appropriate scenario. Since the siblings include other analysis tools, the absence of explicit alternatives prevents a 5, but the clarity merits a 4.
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 convey behavioral traits. It discloses the internal process (PDF text extraction and structuring) and the return content (skills and experience), but it omits details about error handling, read-only nature, or any side effects. It offers some transparency but not complete coverage.
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 succinct and well-organized: a one-sentence overview followed by Args and Returns sections. Every piece of information is relevant and presented clearly without redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with a single parameter and an output schema, the description gives sufficient context about purpose and key output aspects. It could mention error cases or prerequisites (e.g., resume must be uploaded), but the current level is adequate for the tool's simplicity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema only provides the type string for student_id, but the description adds critical semantic meaning by specifying it is the student's UUID. This clarifies the expected format, though it doesn't specify validity requirements or where to obtain the ID.
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 identifies the tool's action (analyze) and resource (a student's resume), adding specificity with 'PDF text extraction and structuring'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like analyze_github and analyze_student.
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 clear context for when to use the tool (for resume analysis), but does not explicitly mention exclusions or alternatives. The scope is well-defined, but it lacks direct guidance on when not to use it.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses what the tool returns ('row counts and any error details') and implies a read-only operation via 'Get.' While it does not explicitly state there are no side effects, the nature of a status check is inherently safe. The description provides sufficient behavioral transparency for a non-destructive query.
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 tightly structured into three short sections: the main purpose, an Args list, and a Returns summary. Every sentence adds value, and the most critical information (what the tool does) is front-loaded. No fluff or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple (one parameter) and has an output schema, so the description does not need to detail return values. It covers the essential process: checking an import's status and statistics. The context signal about sibling tools (import_excel) suggests a natural partner, and this description is complete for such a straightforward operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does so by explaining that import_id is 'The UUID of the import to check,' adding meaningful format and purpose beyond the schema's bare title 'Import Id.' Since it fully captures the single parameter, it effectively bridges the coverage gap.
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 opens with a clear verb and resource: 'Get the status and statistics of a data import operation.' This distinguishes it from sibling tools like import_excel (which creates an import) and get_data_quality_report (which focuses on data quality). The scope is unambiguous.
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 implies usage by describing the action (checking an import's status) and the parameter (import_id). However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention any exclusions or prerequisites. The context is clear enough for a simple status query but lacks explicit decision guidance.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals partial matching, case-insensitivity, pagination defaults, and the maximum page size. This goes beyond a simple 'search' statement, though it omits possible edge cases like empty results or behavior when name is null.
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 concise and well-structured with a clear purpose statement followed by Args and Returns sections. Each line provides essential information without redundancy or fluff, making it easy to scan.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with 3 optional parameters, and the description covers search behavior, pagination, and return type. It does not explicitly state what happens when name is omitted (likely returns all) or describe 'basic information' fields, but the presence of an output schema probably covers return structure. Overall, it is adequate but not exhaustive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description explains all three parameters with meaningful context: name is optional and used for partial matching, page defaults to 1, and page_size defaults to 20 with a max of 100. Since the schema has no descriptions (0% coverage), the description fully compensates by adding semantics and constraints.
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: 'Search for students by name (partial, case-insensitive match).' It specifies the verb (search), the resource (students), and the filtering behavior (partial, case-insensitive). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_students (likely lists all) and get_student (likely fetches by ID).
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 implies usage when a name search is needed, but it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools such as list_students for unfiltered lists or get_student for exact retrieval. It provides clear context but no exclusions or alternative recommendations, falling short of explicit guidance.
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?
With no annotations, the description discloses the key side effect of recording runs for auditing and the parallel execution behavior. It does not detail failure handling, but covers significant behavioral traits.
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 compact, front-loaded with the main purpose, then details the components, side effect, and args/returns. No extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the aggregate nature of the tool, the description covers the inputs, return summary, and side effect. While partial-failure behavior isn't described, it's not essential; output schema likely covers return details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter (student_id) is described as a UUID, adding meaning beyond the schema's generic string type. This clarifies expected input format.
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 runs the full analysis pipeline for a student, listing the components (resume, GitHub, LeetCode, portfolio). It distinguishes from sibling analyze_* tools by emphasizing 'full' and 'parallel'.
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?
It implies use when a comprehensive analysis of all four sources is needed, while individual siblings handle single components. No explicit 'when not to use' is given, but the scope is clear from the listed components.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden. It discloses the full pipeline (validate → map → normalize → detect duplicates → persist → report), making side effects clear. However, it does not mention idempotency, error handling, or required permissions, which would be useful.
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 concise and well-structured: purpose, pipeline overview, Args section, and Returns section. Every sentence adds information, with no redundancy or wordiness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given one parameter and an output schema, the description sufficiently explains inputs and outputs. It mentions the return contains statistics (total, successful, failed, duplicate rows), which aligns with the pipeline. No major contextual gaps remain.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has only one parameter (file_path) with no description (0% coverage). The description compensates fully by explaining 'Absolute path to the .xlsx file on the server filesystem', providing exact semantics 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 'Import student data from an Excel (.xlsx) file' and enumerates the pipeline steps, distinguishing it from sibling tools like validate_excel and get_import_status. The verb 'import' and specific resource make the purpose unambiguous.
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 implies usage (for importing student data) but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like validate_excel or get_import_status. It also lacks explicit prerequisites or conditions, such as requiring a valid xlsx file path.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden of disclosing behavior. It clearly states the tool does not import data (a key behavioral trait) and describes what it checks and returns (detected columns, mapping, warnings). This provides substantial transparency, though it omits details like error handling or permissions.
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 concise and well-structured: a brief opening sentence, a bullet-like list of checks, and clearly labeled Args/Returns sections. No redundant information, every sentence provides value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers purpose, key behavioral constraints, parameter semantics, and return value. Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, output schema exists), it is fairly complete. It could be improved by explicitly naming when to use it relative to siblings, but overall it's sufficient.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. The Args section specifies 'file_path: Absolute path to the .xlsx file on the server filesystem,' adding crucial context beyond the schema's generic 'File Path' label. This is adequate for the single parameter.
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 function: 'Validate an Excel (.xlsx) file structure without importing data.' It specifies the verb 'validate' and the resource (Excel file structure), and enumerates concrete checks (file format, columns, mapping to schema fields, ambiguous/missing columns). This distinguishes it from import_excel and other siblings.
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 phrase 'without importing data' implies usage before importing, providing clear context for when to use this tool. However, it does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, so it stops short of full guidance.
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?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden of explaining behavior. It discloses what the tool returns (a formatted statistics report) and enumerates the data points included, which is adequate for a read-only aggregate tool. It does not mention side effects or prerequisites, but none are expected.
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 concise and well-structured: a single opening sentence, a clear bullet-like list of contents, and a one-line return specification. Every word earns its place, with no filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that there are no parameters and an output schema exists, the description sufficiently covers the tool's purpose and contents. The listed statistics give a complete picture of the expected output, and the return line clarifies the format.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, so the schema is empty and the baseline for this dimension is 4. The description does not need to explain parameters, and it correctly focuses on output instead.
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 begins with a specific verb and resource: 'Get aggregate statistics across all student profiles.' It clearly lists the included statistics (CGPA distribution, skill coverage, project counts, internship rates, certification coverage), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_skill_distribution or get_profile_completeness.
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 phrase 'across all student profiles' establishes a clear usage context: this is for aggregate overview, not individual profiles. However, it does not explicitly mention alternatives or when not to use it, so it stops short of a 5.
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?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses pagination defaults, max page_size, and return shape (paginated list with total count), adding context beyond the schema. It does not explicitly state read-only but the 'list' verb implies it.
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 concise and well-structured: a one-sentence summary followed by Args and Returns sections. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with an output schema, the description covers both parameters and the high-level return format. It is sufficient for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no descriptions for page and page_size. The description fully explains their meaning, defaults, and the maximum for page_size, completely compensating for the 0% schema coverage.
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 uses a specific verb 'List' with resource 'all students' and specifies pagination, distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_student (single student) and search_students (filtered search).
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?
It clearly states the action of listing all students with pagination, but does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives such as search_students for filtered queries.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
