Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: auth_status checks authorization, publish_now posts immediately, schedule_post queues for later, list_posts retrieves posts, cancel_scheduled removes queued posts, post_brief gives content guidance, and content_calendar provides a posting cadence. No two tools overlap in function.
Naming Consistency3/5Naming mixes verb-first patterns (publish_now, schedule_post, list_posts, cancel_scheduled) with noun-first patterns (auth_status, post_brief, content_calendar). All are snake_case and readable, but the verb/noun order is inconsistent.
Tool Count5/5With 7 tools, the set is well-scoped for a LinkedIn posting server. Each tool earns its place without unnecessary bloat, covering authentication, publishing, scheduling, listing, canceling, and content guidance.
Completeness4/5The core lifecycle is covered: create (publish/schedule), read (list), and delete (cancel scheduled). Missing operations like deleting published posts or editing scheduled posts are minor and can be worked around via cancel-and-recreate.
Average 3.8/5 across 7 of 7 tools scored. Lowest: 2.3/5.

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
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure, but it only describes a static concept ('safe weekly posting cadence') without stating what happens when invoked, what data is returned, or whether any side effects occur.
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 is not bloated. However, it lacks specificity, making it efficient but not fully informative.
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 no parameters and a simple schema, the description fails to explain what the tool returns or how it relates to the broader content scheduling workflow. Given sibling tools like publish_now and schedule_post, more context is needed to define the tool's role.
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 fully covers parameter semantics. The description need not add parameter details, and it does not introduce confusion, so a baseline of 4 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'A safe weekly posting cadence and best-practice rules for steady growth' is vague and lacks a clear verb or resource. It does not state what action the tool performs (e.g., retrieve, suggest, or manage) and does not distinguish itself from sibling tools like schedule_post or list_posts.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. No context is given for prerequisites, scenarios, or exclusions, leaving the agent without direction on selecting it over sibling tools.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It simply says 'List posts' but does not disclose behaviors such as read-only nature, pagination, ordering, authentication requirements, or what the return value contains. This is a significant gap for an annotation-free 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?
The description is a single sentence: 'List posts. kind: 'scheduled', 'published', or 'all'.' It is extremely concise, front-loaded, and every word adds value. No unnecessary fluff.
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?
The tool is relatively simple (one optional parameter, no output schema), so the description covers the basics. However, it fails to mention what the output looks like (e.g., list of post IDs or full objects) and does not hint at whether all statuses other than scheduled/published are included. For a list tool, this is a moderate 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It directly explains the only parameter 'kind' with its allowed values 'scheduled', 'published', or 'all', providing meaning that the schema lacks (no enum). However, it doesn't elaborate on the semantics of each kind.
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 states 'List posts' with a specific verb and resource, and the kind parameter adds scope. It is clear but does not explicitly distinguish from siblings like content_calendar or post_brief, so it falls short of a 5.
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 listing the 'kind' values but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings like content_calendar or post_brief. No exclusions or alternatives are mentioned.
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?
There are no annotations, and the description only states the action without disclosing side effects, reversibility, or requirements. For a destructive operation like 'Remove', the lack of additional behavioral context is a significant gap.
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 a single, front-loaded sentence with zero wasted words. It efficiently communicates the core action and target resource.
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?
The tool is simple with one parameter and no output schema, but the description lacks important behavioral context such as whether the removal is permanent or if there are constraints on which queued posts can be cancelled. It is adequate for a basic cancellation operation but leaves some gaps.
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?
With a single parameter (post_id) and 0% schema description coverage, the description's phrase 'by its id' clarifies that post_id is the identifier for the queued post. However, it adds minimal information beyond the parameter name itself, so it only partially compensates for the missing schema description.
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 the specific verb 'Remove' and identifies the resource as 'a queued post' with a clear method ('by its id'). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like schedule_post and publish_now by specifying the cancellation action.
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: this tool is for removing queued posts, which implies it should be used when a scheduled post needs to be cancelled. It does not explicitly mention alternatives or exclusions, but the purpose is sufficiently unique among the sibling tools.
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 present, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'publish' and does not explain side effects, authentication requirements, irreversibility, or potential failure modes. This is a significant gap for a mutating 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?
The description is very concise: one purpose statement followed by parameter definitions. Information is front-loaded and every sentence contributes value 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 simple two-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers the main purpose and parameter meanings adequately. However, it lacks guidance on when to prefer this over schedule_post and does not mention expected return behavior or prerequisites.
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 explicitly explains both parameters ('text: the full post body', 'visibility: PUBLIC (default) or CONNECTIONS'), adding crucial meaning that the input schema lacks. This fully compensates for the 0% schema description 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 clearly states the action ('Publish'), the object ('a text post'), the target ('to your LinkedIn profile'), and temporal scope ('immediately'), effectively distinguishing it from scheduling-related sibling tools.
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 word 'immediately' implies when to use this tool, but it does not explicitly contrast with schedule_post or state alternative tools. There is clear context but no exclusions or direct 'use this instead' 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?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the post is published by the scheduler process and requires the scheduler to be running, adding key behavioral context beyond the schema. It also provides format examples for the 'when' parameter, enhancing transparency.
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 and front-loaded, with the core purpose stated first, followed by necessary time-format examples and a critical operational note. Every sentence earns its place 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 scheduling tool with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the essential aspects: what the tool does, how the timing works, and the necessary prerequisite (scheduler). It could mention error handling or edge cases, but it is sufficiently complete for an AI agent to invoke it correctly.
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 well for the 'when' parameter by explaining both ISO and relative time formats. However, it offers no additional meaning for 'text' or 'visibility', leaving a gap in parameter understanding, though these are relatively self-explanatory.
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 'Queue a post for later', using a specific verb and resource, and immediately distinguishes from the sibling 'publish_now'. It clearly states the tool's purpose as scheduling a post for future publication.
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 explains the context of use (delayed publishing) and gives an explicit operational instruction: run the scheduler for queued posts to be published. It doesn't explicitly name alternatives, but the sibling 'publish_now' provides the contrast, making the usage context clear.
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. The verb 'Check' clearly implies a read-only, non-destructive operation, and it indicates the type of information returned (authorization status and member identity). It lacks details about the exact response format or edge cases, but for a status-check tool this is reasonably transparent.
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 a single sentence, front-loaded with the action and purpose. Every word earns its place, conveying both the authorization check and the member identity aspect without any fluff.
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?
The tool is very simple: no parameters, no output schema, and a clear purpose. The description explains what the tool does and what it reveals (authorization and member), which is sufficient for an agent to know when and how to invoke it. There are no hidden complexities or side effects to disclose.
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 per rubric the baseline is 4. The description does not need to add parameter details since the input schema is empty, and it correctly implies that no arguments are 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?
Description uses the specific verb 'Check' and clearly states the resource (authorization to post) and the additional output (which member). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools that perform actions like publish_now or schedule_post.
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?
No explicit when-to-use or exclusions are provided, but it is implied that this tool is used before posting or scheduling to verify authorization. Given the simplicity of the tool, the absence of explicit alternatives is acceptable but still leaves room for clearer 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?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses the tool produces a brief and rules, and explains the expected workflow. It doesn't mention side effects or limitations, but for a content-generation tool this is adequately transparent.
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 front-loaded with the core purpose. The archetype list and workflow instruction are directly useful, with no filler.
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?
The tool is simple: two parameters, no output schema. The description tells the agent what to expect (structure + rules), how to use the output, and what to do next. Given the tool's simplicity, this is fully 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?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It explicitly lists the allowed archetype values (build_in_public, lesson, teardown, opinion, result), adding significant value. The topic parameter is only implied via 'on a topic,' but its meaning is self-evident.
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 it returns a structured brief and rules for writing a post. The verb 'get' and resource 'brief' are specific, and it distinguishes itself from sibling publish tools by explicitly directing the agent to follow with publish_now or schedule_post.
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?
Provides clear usage context: use this first to prepare content, then publish. It explicitly names subsequent tools (publish_now, schedule_post) but doesn't give exclusions or alternatives for different scenarios, limiting a perfect score.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
