Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v2.4.0
- Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have distinct purposes, but some overlap exists (e.g., multiple audit tools for security, performance, etc.). Descriptions help differentiate, but an agent might still confuse similar-sounding tools like run_safety_check and run_diagnosis.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., get_ledger, fix_issue, scan_routes). No mixing of conventions, making it easy for an agent to predict tool names.
Tool Count3/5With 41 tools, the server feels overloaded despite covering a broad domain. While each tool has a rationale, the count exceeds typical well-scoped ranges (3-15), risking agent confusion and slow selection.
Completeness4/5The tool set comprehensively covers backend auditing, diagnosis, testing, and contract checking. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no tool for monitoring or deployment audit), but core workflows are well-supported.
Average 3.9/5 across 41 of 41 tools scored. Lowest: 2.8/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds no additional behavioral context (e.g., what 'project understanding' comprises, side effects, or dependencies). It meets the baseline with annotations but does not enhance transparency.
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 extremely concise (5 words), which is efficient. However, it sacrifices clarity and completeness. It earns a 4 for being front-loaded and non-redundant, but could benefit from slightly more detail.
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?
Given the absence of an output schema, the description should indicate what the tool returns. With numerous siblings, the tool's role remains unclear. The single-line description is insufficient for the complexity of the tool's context.
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 100% for the single parameter (projectPath). The description does not add further meaning, but the schema already provides clear semantics. A score of 3 is appropriate given high schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose3/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Get the current project understanding' uses a generic verb and vague resource. It does not clearly distinguish from siblings like get_ledger, init_context, or update_context, leaving the tool's specific role ambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or conditions that would help an agent decide to invoke get_context.
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?
Annotations already indicate write operation (readOnlyHint false), idempotency (idempotentHint true), and non-destructive nature (destructiveHint false). The description adds no further behavioral details, such as whether updates are merged or overwritten, or any required 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 a single sentence with no wasted words. It delivers the core purpose directly and efficiently.
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?
For a mutation tool without an output schema, the description does not explain what the agent can expect after invoking it (e.g., updated context representation, success indicator, or side effects). This leaves the agent uncertain about the outcome.
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 coverage is 100%, with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema, essentially restating the purpose. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
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?
Description clearly indicates the verb 'Update' and the resource 'project understanding' (context). It implicitly distinguishes from sibling tools like get_context (read) and init_context (initialize), though it could be more specific about what 'project understanding' includes.
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 the user has corrections or additions to the project understanding. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when not to use or alternatives, leaving the agent to infer context from sibling tool names.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, confirming safe, non-destructive behavior. Description adds meaningful context about what specific issues are detected, enhancing transparency beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise, front-loaded sentences. Every phrase adds value. Could incorporate more guidance without sacrificing brevity.
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?
Lacks description of output format, return value, or performance implications. Given the tool's complexity and many sibling tools, more context about what the result looks like is needed for complete understanding.
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 covers parameter projectPath fully with description. Tool description does not add additional semantics, so baseline score of 3 applies.
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?
Clearly states the tool checks security posture and lists specific detections (auth middleware, CORS, input validation, vulnerabilities). Differentiates from siblings like audit_cors and audit_auth_flow by being more comprehensive, though not explicitly stating scope.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like scan_public_api or audit_cors. Does not specify prerequisites, exclusions, or the appropriate context for invoking this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only and idempotent behavior. The description adds a privacy guarantee (local storage, no external send), which is useful but does not detail response format, error handling, or performance traits. With annotations covering safety, the description contributes moderate value.
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 two sentences long, front-loads the purpose, and adds a privacy note concisely. No unnecessary fluff, though it could briefly mention the nature of returned data.
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?
For a simple query tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It explains the core function and a safety trait, but omits details on return format, default behavior when framework is 'all', and what counts as a 'pattern'. Annotations fill part of the gap.
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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, so the baseline is 3. The description does not add further meaning to the 'framework' parameter beyond what the schema already provides.
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 retrieves common patterns across projects, specifically frequently encountered issues for a given framework. This verb+resource combination distinguishes it from sibling tools like fix_issue or audit tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks when-to-use or when-not-to-use context, and does not mention related tools for similar tasks.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description claims to 'update the issue ledger' and 'generate documentation', which suggest write side effects. However, annotations declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, creating a direct contradiction. The description does not resolve this inconsistency.
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 sentences with no filler: first sentence lists activities, second mentions outputs, third clarifies role. Every sentence adds value.
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?
The description lacks details about the output format or what the 'documentation' and 'issue ledger' entail. The contradiction with annotations undermines trust. Given the complexity (many siblings, no output schema), more behavioral context is needed.
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?
Both parameters are documented in the schema with descriptions. The description adds context by listing some focus areas but does not fully cover the enum values. With 100% schema coverage, the baseline is 3.
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 'Run a full backend diagnosis' and lists specific activities (routes, contracts, errors, etc.). It positions itself as 'the main entry point', distinguishing it from sibling tools that focus on individual areas.
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 identifies this as 'the main entry point', implying it should be used first for a comprehensive overview. However, it does not explicitly state when to use more specific sibling tools instead or provide exclusion criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate idempotent (idempotentHint=true) and not destructive (destructiveHint=false). Description adds that it saves a baseline on first run, but does not detail side effects (e.g., file system changes, location of baseline). No permission requirements mentioned. Additional context is minimal beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the main action and specific change types. No unnecessary words; every sentence adds value.
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?
No output schema and description does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., a list of changes, a report, or just success/failure). Also missing details like baseline file naming or location. This is a significant gap for a tool that saves state.
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?
Input schema has 100% coverage with descriptions for both parameters (projectPath, saveBaseline). Description repeats the saveBaseline functionality but adds no new meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline is appropriate since schema carries the burden.
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 compares current API routes against a saved baseline to detect specific breaking changes (removed endpoints, methods, etc.). It distinguishes from sibling audit tools like audit_migrations or audit_auth_flow by focusing on baseline comparison.
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 (first run saves baseline, subsequent runs detect changes) but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus other audit tools. No 'when not to use' or alternatives mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, indicating safe reads. The description adds that it builds a graph and queries it, but does not disclose details like caching behavior or error handling. No contradiction with annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences plus examples, front-loading the main action. One could argue it could include a brief note on when to prefer over siblings, but it is not wasteful.
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?
Without an output schema, the description does not explain the return format (e.g., list of routes, JSON). Given complexity and sibling context, this is a minor gap. The description is functional but not fully complete.
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 coverage is 100% and the description does not add significant meaning beyond schema. The examples illustrate valid queries but the parameter descriptions in the schema are already clear. Baseline score of 3 applies.
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 queries an API graph with natural language, specifies that it builds a graph of routes, models, frontend components, and middleware, and provides concrete examples. This distinguishes it from siblings like scan_routes or audit_auth_flow which are more specific.
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 ad-hoc queries but lacks explicit when-to-use guidance compared to siblings. It does not mention when not to use it or provide alternatives, leaving the agent to infer from examples and sibling names.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description claims it 'ensures .backend-doctor/ is in .gitignore', which implies modifying the .gitignore file, a side effect. However, annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, which contradicts a write operation. This is a serious inconsistency.
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 sentences, front-loaded with main purpose, each sentence adds necessary detail. No 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?
Covers the tool's purpose, steps, and usage context. Could elaborate on what 'safety' means or the return value, but given no output schema, it's fairly complete.
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 coverage is 100%, so the description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's parameter description. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.
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 it runs safety validation on a project path, including specific actions (validate, ensure .gitignore, prune old reports). It distinguishes itself from sibling diagnosis tools by explicitly positioning itself as a prerequisite to diagnosis.
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?
Explicitly says 'Call this before any diagnosis', giving clear usage context. Does not explicitly mention when not to use, but the purpose is specific enough that the agent can infer appropriate scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, so the agent knows this is a safe, non-destructive operation. The description adds minor behavioral context (url-based, no code needed) but does not contradict annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences, each adding value: purpose, specific checks, and a note on usage. No filler words; information is front-loaded and efficient.
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 the simple parameter (url), no output schema, and supportive annotations, the description fully covers what the tool does, what it checks, and that no source code is needed. No obvious 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?
The input schema already provides a full description for the single parameter 'url'. The tool description does not add any extra semantic detail beyond what the schema offers.
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 specific verbs ('audit', 'checks', 'detects') and precisely states the resource ('cookies') and the security flags examined (Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite). It clearly distinguishes from sibling audit_* tools by focusing solely on cookie security.
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 like audit_security, audit_headers, etc. It only mentions 'No source code needed' but does not compare or exclude other tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds behavioral specifics (cross-referencing, prefix checking), but does not disclose return format or error conditions.
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 sentence that efficiently lists three distinct checks. It is front-loaded with the main verb. Minor length could be trimmed, but overall concise.
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, no output schema, clear annotations), the description covers the main functionality. It might lack return value specifics, but that is acceptable without output schema.
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 coverage is 100% and the single parameter 'projectPath' is well-described in the schema. The description does not add further semantic details beyond what the schema provides.
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 specific verbs ('scan', 'cross-references', 'checks', 'detects') and clearly identifies the resource (environment variable usage). It distinguishes from sibling tools that audit other concerns (e.g., auth, security).
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 auditing environment variable usage, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool vs alternatives, nor does it provide when-not-to-use guidance or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, which the description aligns with by using verbs like 'detects' and 'identifies.' The description adds context on what is audited but does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as permissions, error conditions, or limitations.
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 two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, and each sentence adds distinct information without redundancy. It is concise and well-structured.
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?
Given the simple parameter set and rich annotations, the description adequately covers what the tool does. However, it lacks details about the output format (e.g., list of findings, JSON report), which is not provided by an output schema.
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?
The sole parameter 'projectPath' is fully described in the schema as 'Absolute path to the project root directory.' The description adds no further meaning or constraints beyond the schema, meeting the baseline for full 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 clearly states the tool's function: 'Audit rate limiting and caching patterns.' It then enumerates specific audits (e.g., detecting rate limiting packages, GET endpoints without caching), making the purpose distinct from sibling audit 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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus other audit tools (e.g., audit_auth_flow, audit_performance). The description implies its focus on rate limiting and caching, but does not provide criteria for selection or exclusion.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows it's a safe read. The description adds that the docs are 'auto-generated' and 'living', implying they reflect current state, but does not disclose any additional behaviors like caching, response size, or authorization nuances. With annotations covering safety, a 3 is appropriate.
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?
Two sentences, no fluff. First sentence states the primary purpose, second enumerates contents. Efficient and front-loaded.
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, no output schema, annotations covering safety), the description sufficiently informs about what is returned. However, it does not mention any prerequisites (e.g., project must be built or accessible) or possible limitations. For a read-only documentation tool, it is nearly complete.
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?
The only parameter 'projectPath' has schema description 'Absolute path to the project root directory'. The tool description does not add any further meaning or constraints beyond that. Since schema coverage is 100%, baseline of 3 is justified—the schema already documents it adequately.
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 'Get the auto-generated living API documentation' and enumerates specific contents (route map, request/response types, auth requirements, frontend consumers). It is a specific verb+resource, and distinct from siblings like scan_routes which likely perform different route-related actions.
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 when-not-to-use guidance. It does not mention alternatives (e.g., scan_routes) or prerequisites. The description implies using it to obtain documentation, but lacks context for selecting this over other tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. Description adds context that the ledger tracks the full lifecycle of issues, which is useful but does not significantly expand beyond annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no wasted words. First sentence states purpose, second sentence specifies filtering capabilities.
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 simple parameter structure and absence of output schema, the description is fairly complete. It could mention the required projectPath parameter, but the schema already indicates it.
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 coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description mentions filtering by status, severity, or category, which aligns with the filter object properties, but does not add new details 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?
Description clearly states the tool retrieves the issue ledger, tracking issues from discovery through fix. This distinguishes it from siblings that perform actions like fixing or auditing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
