Quiet File Team MCP

generate_early_exit

Read-onlyIdempotent

Draft a quiet early-exit shell block for an existing routine while leaving roster settings unchanged; use it when manually wiring the routine, not for scheduling or file inspection.

Instructions

Draft a quiet early-exit shell block for an existing routine; unlike generate_team_config, leave roster settings unchanged. Use while manually wiring a routine, not to schedule it, inspect files or prove the enclosing agent stops. Free offline text computation, no paid API or network calls; short bounded work, latency unbenchmarked. Role must belong to roster; team_dir is quoted as literal text and is never read. Match exactly NO WORK, not exit status. Returns block and enclosing-routine warnings.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations, the description explains that this is offline text computation with no paid API or network calls, bounded work, and unbenchmarked latency. It also discloses preconditions like role membership in the roster, that team_dir is treated as literal quoted text and never read, and that the return includes enclosing-routine warnings.

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 purpose and usage boundaries are front-loaded and the paragraph is generally efficient. Some phrasing is dense or awkward, such as 'Match exactly NO WORK, not exit status,' and 'free offline ... no paid API or network calls' is slightly redundant.

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 full schema coverage, output schema, and annotations, the description covers purpose, usage boundaries, input preconditions, behavioral constraints, and return warnings. No critical information for correct invocation is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful semantics beyond the schema by clarifying that role must belong to the roster and that team_dir is quoted literally and never read, which sharpens how both parameters are used.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Draft a quiet early-exit shell block for an existing routine.' It also distinguishes this from generate_team_config by noting that roster settings are left unchanged, so an agent can identify the tool's distinct purpose.

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?

It gives explicit when-to-use guidance ('Use while manually wiring a routine') and clear exclusions ('not to schedule it, inspect files or prove the enclosing agent stops'). It also contrasts the tool with generate_team_config, which helps route the agent to the right sibling.

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