Usage

With Claude Desktop

  1. First, build the MCP server following the instructions above

  2. Follow the instructions at https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user to add a new MCP server.

  3. Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Turbo-docs": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/your/Turbo-docs-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}
  1. Replace /path/to/your/Turbo-docs-mcp-server with the actual path to this project

  2. Restart Claude Desktop

  3. The Turbo documentation tools should now be available in your Claude conversations

With VS Code

  1. Build the MCP server following the instructions above

  2. Follow the instructions at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/chat/mcp-servers

  3. Using your preferred method based on the instructions above, configure the MCP server by pointing it to the built executable:

    {
     "Turbo-docs": {
         "type": "stdio",
         "command": "node",
         "args": [
             "path/to/your/Turbo-docs-mcp-server"
           ]
     }
    }
  4. Replace path/to/your/Turbo-docs-mcp-server with the path to the index.js file built in step 1.

  5. The Turbo documentation will be accessible through the MCP client interface

Troubleshooting

Claude

You may see the following errors when opening Claude after configuring the MCP:

MCP Turbo-docs: spawn node ENOENT (2)

Could not connect to MCP server Turbo-docs

MCP Turbo-docs: Server disconnected. For troubleshooting guidance [...]

This is because the path to the node executable can not be found. If that's the case, instead of "command": "node" use the complete path to the node. If you use mise it may be something like:

"command": "/Users/<YOUR USER NAME/.local/share/mise/installs/node/20.18.3/bin/node

Documentation Source

The Turbo documentation files included are copied from the official Turbo-site repository.

The next phase of exploration for this MCP could be to fetch the docs from the web to keep them up to date and store them locally for a set period of time.

All credit for the documentation content goes to the Turbo team and contributors.

No parameters

TDQS

C2.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but offers minimal behavioral insight. It lists topics covered but doesn't describe what the tool actually does - whether it's informational, instructional, or functional. There's no indication of output format, interaction patterns, or what happens when invoked.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single run-on sentence listing topics without clear organization. While it's brief, the comma-separated list format makes it difficult to parse. It could be more structured by grouping related concepts or using bullet points for better readability.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with no parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It lists topics but doesn't explain what the tool produces or how it helps the agent. Given the complexity implied by the topic list (JavaScript bundling, caching strategies, etc.), more context about the tool's function is needed.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the baseline is 4. The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters since none exist, which is correct for a parameterless tool.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description lists topics covered rather than stating a specific action. 'Building Turbo applications' is vague about what the tool actually does - it doesn't specify whether it's a guide, a builder, or a reference. While it distinguishes from siblings by listing specific Turbo-related topics, it's more of a content summary than a clear purpose statement.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus the 11 sibling tools is provided. The description doesn't indicate whether this is for learning, reference, or implementation. With multiple handbook-* and reference-* siblings, the lack of comparative guidance leaves the agent guessing about appropriate use cases.

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

handbook-driveB

Turbo Drive navigation guide - covers page visits, application/restoration visits, link handling, form submissions, progress indicators, caching, prefetching, and view transitions for fast page navigation

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

B3/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It describes the tool as a 'guide' covering topics, implying it's informational and likely read-only, but doesn't explicitly state whether it's a reference document, tutorial, or interactive tool. It lacks details on output format, access requirements, or any operational constraints like rate limits or side effects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single run-on sentence listing topics without clear structure or prioritization. While it efficiently covers many aspects of Turbo Drive navigation, it could be more front-loaded with a concise purpose statement (e.g., 'Guide to Turbo Drive navigation features') followed by key topics. The list-like format is somewhat cluttered but not excessively verbose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has no parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description provides adequate context about what the guide covers. However, for a handbook/guide tool among many siblings, it could better clarify its unique value versus similar tools (e.g., 'handbook-frames') and expected output format. The description is minimally viable but leaves gaps in usage context.

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?

The input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters, focusing instead on the tool's content scope. This meets the baseline for tools with no parameters, as there's nothing to compensate for in terms of schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose as a 'navigation guide' covering specific Turbo Drive features like page visits, link handling, form submissions, and caching. It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on 'navigation' aspects rather than installation, building, or reference topics, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with similar tools like 'handbook-frames' or 'reference-drive'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does 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 lists covered topics but doesn't indicate scenarios where this guide is preferred over sibling tools like 'handbook-frames' for frame-related navigation or 'reference-drive' for technical reference. There's no mention of prerequisites, target audience, or use-case exclusions.

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

handbook-framesC

Turbo Frames for page decomposition - covers independent page segments, scoped navigation, eager/lazy loading, cache benefits, targeting navigation, frame promotion to visits, and custom rendering

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

C2.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It describes technical aspects like 'cache benefits' and 'custom rendering' but does not specify whether this is a read-only, mutative, or informational tool, nor does it detail permissions, side effects, or response format. The gap is significant for a tool with no annotation coverage.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single run-on sentence listing multiple features without clear structure. While it avoids redundancy, it lacks front-loading of key purpose and could be more organized for readability, though it remains relatively concise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and a vague description, the tool's functionality is inadequately explained. The description covers technical concepts but fails to clarify what the tool does, how it behaves, or what it returns, leaving significant gaps for agent understanding.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema fully documents the lack of inputs. The description does not add parameter information, which is unnecessary here. Baseline is 4 for zero parameters, as no compensation is needed.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description lists technical features of 'Turbo Frames' but does not clearly state what the tool actually does. It mentions concepts like 'page decomposition', 'navigation', and 'loading' without specifying a verb or action the tool performs. While it distinguishes from siblings by focusing on frames, the purpose remains vague rather than explicit.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lists features but does not indicate context, prerequisites, or exclusions. Without explicit or implied usage scenarios, the agent lacks direction on application.

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

handbook-installingB

Installing Turbo in your application - covers CDN installation, npm package setup, bundler integration, importing strategies, and Rails-specific installation with turbo-rails gem

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but offers minimal behavioral insight. It lists coverage areas but doesn't disclose whether this is a read-only reference, interactive guide, or configuration tool. No information about permissions, side effects, or output format is provided, leaving significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves.

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 efficiently structured as a single sentence listing all coverage areas. It's appropriately sized for a zero-parameter tool, though it could be slightly more front-loaded by starting with the core purpose before listing details.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter tool with no output schema, the description provides adequate scope information but lacks crucial behavioral context. Given the complexity of installation topics and absence of annotations, it should clarify whether this is documentation, configuration assistance, or automated setup. The sibling context suggests this is part of a handbook, but the tool's actual function remains ambiguous.

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?

The tool has zero parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the baseline is 4. The description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters since none exist, and it focuses on the tool's scope instead.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: installing Turbo in an application, with specific coverage areas listed (CDN, npm, bundler, Rails). It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on installation rather than building, native features, or reference documentation. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with handbook-introduction which might also cover initial setup.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does 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 doesn't specify whether this is for initial setup only, troubleshooting, or ongoing configuration, nor does it mention prerequisites or when to choose handbook-introduction for basic overview versus this detailed installation guide.

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

handbook-introductionB

Introduction to Turbo - learn about HTML-over-the-wire approach, persistent processes, and how Turbo Drive, Frames, Streams, and Native work together to create fast web applications without heavy JavaScript frameworks

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It describes the content (technical concepts) but doesn't reveal behavioral traits: whether this is a read-only informational tool, if it requires authentication, if it has side effects (e.g., logging), or what format the output takes. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this 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.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, well-structured sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's scope: it names the subject (Turbo), lists key topics (HTML-over-the-wire, persistent processes, Turbo components), and states the outcome (create fast web applications). Every word earns its place with no redundancy or fluff.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (conceptual introduction with no parameters) and lack of annotations/output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It covers what the tool does but leaves behavioral aspects (e.g., output format, side effects) unspecified. For a zero-parameter tool, this is acceptable but not comprehensive.

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?

The tool has zero parameters (schema coverage 100%), so there are no parameters to document. The description appropriately doesn't waste space on parameter details. Baseline for zero parameters is 4, as the description focuses on the tool's purpose without unnecessary parameter clutter.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: to provide an introduction to Turbo, covering specific technical concepts (HTML-over-the-wire, persistent processes, Turbo Drive/Frames/Streams/Native). It distinguishes itself from siblings by focusing on foundational concepts rather than specific components like 'handbook-drive' or 'handbook-frames'. However, it doesn't explicitly name a specific verb+resource combination beyond 'learn about'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does 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 doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., use before diving into specific components), exclusions, or how it relates to sibling tools like 'handbook-building' or 'handbook-installing'. The agent must infer usage from the title alone.

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

handbook-nativeB

Hotwire Native for mobile apps - overview of iOS and Android native app development using Turbo-enabled web views for hybrid applications with native navigation and web content

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It describes the content topic but doesn't mention whether this is a read-only reference, if it requires authentication, how data is presented (e.g., text, examples), or any limitations like scope or depth. This leaves significant gaps for an agent to understand how to interact with the tool.

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 a single, well-structured sentence that efficiently conveys the core topic. It's front-loaded with key terms like 'Hotwire Native,' 'mobile apps,' and 'overview,' avoiding redundancy. However, it could be slightly more concise by removing minor wordiness (e.g., 'for hybrid applications' might be implied).

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has no parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description provides a basic overview but lacks depth. It doesn't explain what the tool returns (e.g., documentation text, links, examples) or how it fits into the broader context of sibling tools. For a reference tool, this is minimally adequate but leaves room for improvement in guiding usage.

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?

The tool has zero parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so there are no parameters to document. The description doesn't need to compensate for any gaps, earning a baseline score of 4 for adequately addressing the parameter-less nature without unnecessary detail.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: providing an overview of iOS and Android native app development using Turbo-enabled web views for hybrid applications. It specifies the resource (mobile app development) and approach (Turbo-enabled web views with native navigation and web content), though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'handbook-building' or 'handbook-introduction'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description implies it's for learning about hybrid app development with Turbo, but it doesn't specify prerequisites, target audience, or how it complements other handbook tools like 'handbook-installing' or 'handbook-frames'.

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

handbook-page-refreshesC

Page refresh techniques with morphing - learn about smooth page updates using DOM morphing with idiomorph, scroll preservation, excluding sections from morphing, and broadcasting refresh streams

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

C2.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions concepts like 'DOM morphing with idiomorph' and 'broadcasting refresh streams,' but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as whether this is a read-only demonstration, requires specific permissions, has side effects, or involves rate limits. The description is informative about topics but lacks operational details.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, dense sentence that efficiently lists key concepts (e.g., smooth page updates, DOM morphing, scroll preservation). It's front-loaded with the main topic but could be slightly more structured for clarity. Every phrase adds value, though it's packed with technical terms.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and zero parameters, the description is incomplete for a tool that likely involves interactive or educational behavior. It lists concepts but doesn't explain what the tool actually does (e.g., is it a tutorial, a simulator, or a configuration tool?), leaving gaps in understanding its function and expected outcomes.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description doesn't add param info, but that's acceptable here. Baseline is 4 for zero parameters, as there's nothing to compensate for.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description vaguely states the tool is about 'page refresh techniques with morphing' and mentions learning about specific concepts, but it doesn't clearly specify what action the tool performs (e.g., does it demonstrate, configure, or test these techniques?). It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on page refresh/morphing rather than building, installing, or reference topics, but the verb is ambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives is provided. The description implies it's for learning about page refresh techniques, but it doesn't specify contexts, prerequisites, or exclusions. Sibling tools like 'handbook-streams' or 'reference-streams' might overlap, but no comparison is made.

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

handbook-streamsC

Turbo Streams for live updates - learn about the 9 stream actions (append, prepend, replace, update, remove, before, after, morph, refresh), WebSocket/SSE integration, and server-side template reuse

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

C2.4/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It describes topics to 'learn about' but doesn't clarify if this tool retrieves documentation, demonstrates functionality, or performs another action. Key behavioral traits like whether it's read-only, requires authentication, or has side effects are completely missing, leaving the agent uncertain.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence listing topics, which is concise but not front-loaded with the tool's purpose. It wastes space on enumerating stream actions without first stating what the tool does. While not verbose, it lacks effective structure for guiding an agent.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain what the tool returns or how it behaves, leaving gaps in understanding its functionality. For a tool with no structured data to rely on, the description should provide more operational context but does not.

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?

The input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description doesn't add parameter details, which is appropriate here. A baseline of 4 is applied since the schema fully covers the absence of parameters, and the description doesn't need to compensate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description lists topics ('Turbo Streams for live updates - learn about the 9 stream actions...') but does not specify what the tool actually does. It reads like a course syllabus rather than a functional description, failing to state a clear verb+resource action. The name 'handbook-streams' suggests it might provide documentation, but the description doesn't confirm this purpose.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description mentions topics like 'WebSocket/SSE integration' but gives no indication of appropriate contexts, prerequisites, or exclusions. With sibling tools like 'handbook-introduction' and 'reference-streams', there's no differentiation to help an agent choose correctly.

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

reference-attributesB

Complete reference for Turbo data attributes and meta tags - covers all data-turbo-* attributes for controlling Drive behavior, frame navigation, caching, and automatically added attributes like aria-busy

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It describes the content ('complete reference') but does not specify behavioral traits such as whether it returns static data, requires authentication, has rate limits, or involves any side effects. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency, though it avoids contradiction.

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 a single, well-structured sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and scope. It is front-loaded with key information ('complete reference for Turbo data attributes and meta tags') and adds specific details without redundancy. However, it could be slightly more concise by avoiding the dash and integrating the list more smoothly, but overall it is highly efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (a reference tool with no parameters) and the absence of annotations and output schema, the description is adequate but not complete. It covers what the tool provides but lacks details on behavioral aspects, return format, or how it integrates with sibling tools. For a reference tool, more context on usage and output would enhance completeness, but it meets minimum viability.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so no parameter information is needed. The description appropriately does not discuss parameters, focusing instead on the tool's purpose and scope. This meets the baseline for tools with no parameters, as it avoids unnecessary details and compensates well for the lack of parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: to provide a 'complete reference for Turbo data attributes and meta tags.' It specifies the scope ('all data-turbo-* attributes') and key areas covered ('controlling Drive behavior, frame navigation, caching, and automatically added attributes like aria-busy'). However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'reference-drive' or 'reference-frames,' which might overlap in topic, preventing a score of 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention any prerequisites, exclusions, or specific contexts for usage. While it implies a reference or documentation purpose, it lacks explicit instructions on when this tool is appropriate compared to sibling tools like 'handbook-building' or other reference tools, leaving the agent with no usage direction.

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

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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 describes the tool as a reference/documentation source, which suggests it's likely read-only and non-destructive, but it doesn't explicitly confirm this or disclose other behavioral traits like authentication needs, rate limits, or output format. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the implied purpose.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the key information (Turbo Drive API reference) and elaborates concisely on what it covers. Every word earns its place, with no wasted text or redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate but has gaps. It explains the purpose clearly but lacks usage guidelines and behavioral transparency, which are important for an agent to invoke it correctly in context with sibling tools. It meets minimum viability but could be more complete.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so there's no need for parameter details in the description. The baseline for 0 parameters is 4, as the description appropriately doesn't discuss parameters, focusing instead on the tool's purpose without unnecessary repetition.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: providing detailed documentation of Drive methods, configuration options, and programmatic control of navigation behavior. It specifies the resource (Drive API) and the action (reference/documentation), though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'reference-attributes' or 'reference-events'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for accessing Drive API documentation but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'handbook-drive' and other reference tools, there's no indication of context, prerequisites, or exclusions to help the agent choose appropriately.

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

reference-eventsB

Turbo events reference - comprehensive list of all Turbo events fired during navigation, form submissions, frame updates, and stream processing for lifecycle management

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states this is a 'reference' and 'comprehensive list,' implying a read-only, informational operation, but doesn't explicitly confirm this is a safe query (no mutations). It also doesn't disclose any rate limits, authentication requirements, or potential side effects. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.

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?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core purpose ('Turbo events reference') and immediately elaborates with specific details ('comprehensive list of all Turbo events fired during...'). Every word contributes to understanding the tool's scope without redundancy or unnecessary elaboration.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate but not complete. It clearly defines what the tool provides (a reference list of events) but doesn't address behavioral aspects like safety, performance, or format of returned data. For a reference tool with no structured behavioral hints, more context on output expectations would be beneficial.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema fully documents the lack of inputs. The description appropriately adds no parameter-specific information, as none are needed. This matches the baseline expectation for a zero-parameter tool, where the description focuses on purpose rather than inputs.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool provides a 'comprehensive list of all Turbo events' and specifies the event categories (navigation, form submissions, frame updates, stream processing). It distinguishes itself from sibling 'reference-' tools by focusing specifically on events rather than attributes, drive, frames, or streams. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with all siblings like 'handbook-' tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does 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 doesn't mention when this reference should be consulted over other 'reference-' tools or 'handbook-' tools, nor does it specify any prerequisites or contextual triggers for its use. The agent receives no usage direction beyond the tool's stated purpose.

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

reference-framesB

Turbo Frames API reference - detailed frame element attributes, JavaScript methods, lifecycle callbacks, and programmatic frame control

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It describes the content ('detailed... attributes, methods, callbacks, control') but doesn't specify whether this is a read-only reference lookup, if it requires authentication, how results are formatted, or any rate limits. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its operational behavior.

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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the key information ('Turbo Frames API reference') followed by specifics. It avoids unnecessary words, but could potentially be more structured (e.g., by listing the components more clearly) for slightly better readability.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has no parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description provides a clear purpose but lacks behavioral context (e.g., how results are returned, any limitations). It's adequate as a basic reference tool description but doesn't fully address what an agent needs to know for reliable invocation, such as response format or error handling.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so there are no parameters to document. The description doesn't need to add parameter semantics, and it appropriately doesn't mention any. A baseline of 4 is applied for zero-parameter tools, as there's no gap to compensate for.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool provides 'detailed frame element attributes, JavaScript methods, lifecycle callbacks, and programmatic frame control' for the 'Turbo Frames API reference', which is a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't explicitly distinguish itself from sibling tools like 'reference-attributes', 'reference-events', or 'handbook-frames', which may cover overlapping or related content.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does 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 doesn't mention any prerequisites, context, or exclusions, and with multiple sibling tools (e.g., 'reference-attributes', 'handbook-frames'), there's no indication of how this tool differs or when it's the appropriate choice.

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

reference-streamsB

Turbo Streams API reference - complete documentation of stream actions, JavaScript methods, custom action creation, and programmatic stream handling

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No parameters

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

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 describes the content as 'complete documentation' but doesn't disclose behavioral traits such as whether this is a read-only operation, if it requires authentication, rate limits, or how the documentation is presented (e.g., static text, interactive). For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this 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.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that lists key components (stream actions, JavaScript methods, etc.) without unnecessary details. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded, though it could be slightly more structured by explicitly stating the tool's function (e.g., 'Retrieve documentation for...').

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has 0 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description adequately covers the purpose as a documentation reference. However, it lacks details on behavioral aspects (e.g., how the documentation is delivered, any dependencies) and usage context, making it minimally viable but with clear gaps for a tool that might involve complex API interactions.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema fully documents the absence of inputs. The description adds no parameter information, but with no parameters, the baseline is 4 as it doesn't need to compensate for gaps. No value is added beyond the schema, but none is required.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool provides 'complete documentation of stream actions, JavaScript methods, custom action creation, and programmatic stream handling' for the Turbo Streams API. It specifies the resource (Turbo Streams API reference) and scope (documentation), though it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'handbook-streams' or 'reference-attributes'.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lists what it contains but doesn't indicate scenarios for usage, prerequisites, or comparisons with sibling tools like 'handbook-streams' or other reference tools.

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

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no overlap. The 'handbook-' tools cover conceptual topics and tutorials, while the 'reference-' tools provide API documentation, making it impossible to confuse them. Each tool name directly indicates its specific scope within the Turbo framework.

Naming Consistency5/5

The naming follows a perfect and predictable pattern throughout. All tools use a consistent 'prefix-topic' format with kebab-case, where 'handbook-' indicates conceptual guides and 'reference-' indicates API documentation. This consistency makes the tool set highly readable and predictable.

Tool Count5/5

With 13 tools, the count is well-scoped and appropriate for the server's purpose of documenting Turbo. It covers all major aspects (Drive, Frames, Streams, Native, installation, attributes, events) without being overwhelming, and each tool earns its place by addressing a distinct area of the framework.

Completeness5/5

The tool set provides complete coverage of the Turbo documentation domain. It includes all core concepts (introduction, building, installing, Drive, Frames, Streams, Native, page refreshes) and comprehensive API references (attributes, Drive, events, Frames, Streams), leaving no gaps for agents to navigate the framework effectively.
