In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@OpenShift 4 MCP ServerWhy is my pod crashlooping in namespace prod?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
OpenShift & Kubernetes MCP Server
A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes 216 tools, 7 resources, and 10 runbook prompts for cluster operations — all driven by an LLM. Works with OpenShift 4 and vanilla Kubernetes; OpenShift-specific tools (Routes, BuildConfigs, SCCs, OLM, Machines, RHOAI, Virtualization) return a clear error on plain Kubernetes clusters that don't have those APIs.
Connect it to Claude (Desktop, Code, or API) and ask natural-language questions like:
"Why is my pod crashlooping in namespace prod?" "Scale the frontend deployment to 5 replicas." "Show me all firing alerts and create a 4-hour silence for the watchdog." "Live-migrate VM database-0 to another node." "Deploy llama-3 with KServe in the ds-team namespace." "What's the status of my Tekton pipeline run in namespace ci?" "Show me all Konflux components and their latest snapshot status."

Requirements
Python 3.11+
ocCLI in PATH (for operations that use it; many tools fall back to direct k8s API calls)virtctlin PATH (for VM pause/unpause; optional)Access to an OpenShift 4.x cluster
Installation
git clone https://github.com/ay-garg/openshift-mcp-server.git
cd openshift-mcp-server
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e .Authentication
The server supports five auth modes, tried in priority order:
1. OCP_CLUSTERS — multi-cluster JSON (highest priority)
See the Multi-cluster section below.
2. Service Account Token (recommended for CI/CD)
export OCP_API_URL=https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443
export OCP_TOKEN=sha256~xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxGet a long-lived token:
oc create serviceaccount mcp-server -n default
oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-admin -z mcp-server -n default
oc create token mcp-server -n default --duration=8760h3. Username / Password
export OCP_API_URL=https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443
export OCP_USERNAME=kubeadmin
export OCP_PASSWORD=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxThe server runs oc login and extracts the resulting bearer token automatically.
4. kubeconfig (default for local dev)
# Uses ~/.kube/config automatically, or:
export OCP_KUBECONFIG=/path/to/kubeconfig
export OCP_KUBECONFIG_CONTEXT=my-cluster-admin # optional context name5. In-cluster (when running inside a pod)
No env vars needed — uses the mounted ServiceAccount token automatically.
TLS verification
# Disable TLS verification for the Kubernetes API connection (k8s client):
export OCP_SKIP_TLS_VERIFY=true # for self-signed certs in dev/lab clusters
# Disable TLS verification for Prometheus/Alertmanager HTTP calls:
export OCP_VERIFY_SSL=falseThese are two independent settings — OCP_SKIP_TLS_VERIFY controls the kubernetes Python client (API calls), OCP_VERIFY_SSL controls HTTP requests to Prometheus and Alertmanager.
Multi-cluster
Set OCP_CLUSTERS to a JSON array of named cluster configs:
export OCP_CLUSTERS='[
{"name": "prod", "api_url": "https://api.prod.example.com:6443", "token": "sha256~prod..."},
{"name": "staging", "api_url": "https://api.staging.example.com:6443", "token": "sha256~staging..."},
{"name": "lab", "api_url": "https://api.lab.example.com:6443", "token": "sha256~lab...", "skip_tls_verify": true}
]'Each cluster config object supports:
Field | Required | Description |
| yes | Logical name used in the |
| yes | API server URL ( |
| one of token/user+pass | Bearer token |
| one of token/user+pass | Credentials for |
| no | Set |
Then pass cluster="prod" to any tool:
list_pods(namespace="kube-system", cluster="prod")
scale_deployment(name="api", replicas=3, namespace="default", cluster="staging")Monitoring / Prometheus
By default the server auto-derives the Alertmanager URL from OCP_PROMETHEUS_URL. Override if needed:
export OCP_PROMETHEUS_URL=https://thanos-querier.openshift-monitoring.svc:9091
export OCP_ALERTMANAGER_URL=https://alertmanager-main.openshift-monitoring.svc:9093
export OCP_PROMETHEUS_TOKEN=sha256~... # defaults to OCP_TOKENEnvironment variables reference
Variable | Default | Purpose |

Usage with Claude
Claude Code (this repository)
The .claude/settings.json already wires the server up. Open this directory in Claude Code and the ocp MCP server is available automatically.
Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ocp": {
"command": "/path/to/ocp-mcp-server/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["-m", "ocp_mcp.server"],
"env": {
"PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/ocp-mcp-server/src",
"OCP_API_URL": "https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443",
"OCP_TOKEN": "sha256~..."
}
}
}
}Streamable HTTP transport (for remote use or web apps)
Note:
MCP_HOSTdefaults to127.0.0.1(loopback-only, with DNS-rebinding protection enabled by the MCP SDK). SetMCP_HOST=0.0.0.0explicitly when you need external access.
export MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http
export MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 # bind to all interfaces for remote access
export MCP_PORT=8080
.venv/bin/ocp-mcp-serverThen point your MCP client at http://your-host:8080/mcp.
Web UI (Gradio)
A browser-based UI with two tabs — no MCP client required.
Install UI dependencies:
.venv/bin/pip install -e ".[ui]"Run:
export OCP_API_URL=https://api.mycluster.example.com:6443
export OCP_TOKEN=sha256~...
.venv/bin/ocp-mcp-ui
# Opens at http://localhost:7860Tab 1 — Tool Playground: Select any of the 216 tools from a searchable dropdown, fill in parameters, and run it directly against your cluster. Results appear instantly — no AI in the loop.
Tab 2 — AI Chat: Natural-language chat backed by Claude. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and ask anything — Claude will automatically call the right OCP tools and show you what it did.
Interactive Chat Client (mcp_chat.py)
mcp_chat.py is a standalone terminal chat client that connects to any running MCP server and drives an agentic loop using the LLM of your choice. All configuration is prompted at startup — no environment variables required, though they are used as defaults when present.
Supported LLM providers
Provider | Auth |
Anthropic API | API key |
Google Vertex AI | GCP project ID + region (GCP ADC — |
Ollama | Base URL (local or remote) |
OpenAI-compatible | Base URL + optional API key (OpenAI, LM Studio, vLLM, llama.cpp, …) |
Install
pip install mcp anthropic "anthropic[vertex]" openai httpxRun
python mcp_chat.pyThe script walks you through setup interactively:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ MCP Chat — Setup ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
MCP server URL [http://localhost:8080/mcp]:
LLM provider
1. Anthropic API (API key)
2. Google Vertex AI (GCP project ID + region, GCP ADC auth)
3. Ollama (local or remote)
4. OpenAI-compatible (OpenAI / LM Studio / vLLM / llama.cpp / …)
Choice:Self-signed / internal CA certificates
When an HTTPS URL is entered (for the MCP server or the model endpoint) the script asks whether the certificate is CA-signed or self-signed:
The MCP server URL is using HTTPS.
Does it use a valid CA-signed certificate? (answer 'n' for self-signed / internal CA) [Y/n]:Answering n disables SSL verification for that endpoint automatically. This is the correct answer for:
CRC (CodeReady Containers) — uses a self-signed router CA
Self-hosted OpenShift clusters with internal PKI
Local Ollama or OpenAI-compatible servers fronted by nginx with a self-signed cert
Note: For the MCP server connection, SSL verification is disabled by patching
httpx.AsyncClientfor the duration of the session (the MCP SDK does not expose averify=parameter directly). For Ollama/OpenAI-compatible clients,httpx.Client(verify=False)is passed directly. Anthropic API and Google Vertex AI always use CA-signed certificates and are never prompted.
Environment variable defaults
All prompts use environment variables as pre-filled defaults so repeat runs need fewer keystrokes:
Prompt | Env var |
MCP server URL |
|
Anthropic API key |
|
Model (Anthropic / Vertex) |

This section covers building the container image and deploying to OpenShift or any Kubernetes cluster.
Prerequisites
Podman or Docker for building/pushing the image
Access to a container registry (Quay.io, OpenShift internal registry, etc.)
ocCLI logged in to your cluster
1. Build the image
# Clone and enter the repo
git clone https://github.com/ay-garg/openshift-mcp-server.git
cd openshift-mcp-server
# Build with Podman (recommended for OpenShift)
podman build -f Containerfile -t quay.io/your-org/ocp-mcp-server:latest .
# Multi-arch build (amd64 + arm64)
podman buildx build \
--platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
-f Containerfile \
-t quay.io/your-org/ocp-mcp-server:latest .
podman push quay.io/your-org/ocp-mcp-server:latestBuild arguments:
Argument | Default | Description |
|
| OpenShift CLI version; e.g. |
|
| KubeVirt virtctl version |
|
| CPU architecture: |
# Pin specific CLI versions
podman build -f Containerfile \
--build-arg OC_VERSION=4.16.3 \
--build-arg VIRTCTL_VERSION=v1.4.0 \
-t quay.io/your-org/ocp-mcp-server:4.16.3 .2. Push the image
podman push quay.io/your-org/ocp-mcp-server:latestFor the OpenShift internal registry:
# Log in to the internal registry
oc registry login
IMAGE="$(oc registry info)/ocp-mcp/ocp-mcp-server:latest"
podman build -f Containerfile -t "$IMAGE" .
podman push "$IMAGE"3. Deploy to OpenShift
3a. Create the namespace
oc new-project ocp-mcp
# or:
oc apply -f deploy/namespace.yaml3b. Create the credentials Secret
The Secret holds cluster auth and the optional Anthropic API key. Never commit real values.
In-cluster deployment (server manages the same cluster it runs in — no credentials needed):
# Only set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY if you want the Gradio AI Chat tab
oc create secret generic ocp-mcp-server-credentials \
--from-literal=ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxxxxxxx \
-n ocp-mcp
# If no Anthropic key either, create an empty secret:
oc create secret generic ocp-mcp-server-credentials -n ocp-mcpExternal cluster (server is deployed elsewhere and manages a remote cluster):
# Single cluster — token auth (recommended)
oc create secret generic ocp-mcp-server-credentials \
--from-literal=OCP_API_URL=https://api.cluster.example.com:6443 \
--from-literal=OCP_TOKEN=sha256~xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \
--from-literal=ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxxxxxxx \
-n ocp-mcp
# Multi-cluster
oc create secret generic ocp-mcp-server-credentials \
--from-literal=OCP_CLUSTERS='[
{"name":"prod", "api_url":"https://api.prod.example.com:6443", "token":"sha256~prod..."},
{"name":"staging", "api_url":"https://api.staging.example.com:6443", "token":"sha256~staging..."}
]' \
--from-literal=ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxxxxxxx \
-n ocp-mcpTip: Generate a long-lived ServiceAccount token for the MCP server:
oc create serviceaccount mcp-server -n default oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-admin -z mcp-server -n default oc create token mcp-server -n default --duration=8760h
3c. Edit the image reference
Open deploy/deployment.yaml and replace the placeholder image:
image: quay.io/your-org/ocp-mcp-server:latest3d. Apply all resources
# Using kustomize (recommended)
oc apply -k deploy/
# Or apply individually
oc apply -f deploy/serviceaccount.yaml
oc apply -f deploy/clusterrolebinding.yaml
oc apply -f deploy/configmap.yaml
oc apply -f deploy/deployment.yaml
oc apply -f deploy/service.yaml
oc apply -f deploy/route.yaml3e. Verify the deployment
# Check pod status
oc get pods -n ocp-mcp -l app.kubernetes.io/name=ocp-mcp-server
# Check logs
oc logs -n ocp-mcp -l app.kubernetes.io/name=ocp-mcp-server -f
# Get the public MCP URL
oc get route ocp-mcp-server -n ocp-mcp -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}'The server is ready when you see a line like:
INFO: Started server process
INFO: Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:80803b. Deploy to vanilla Kubernetes
The same manifests work on any Kubernetes cluster. The differences from the OpenShift steps above:
Use
kubectlinstead ofocUse
deploy/ingress.yamlinstead ofdeploy/route.yaml(Ingress requires an ingress controller such as nginx-ingress)Skip
deploy/namespace.yamlif your cluster auto-creates namespaces; otherwisekubectl create namespace ocp-mcp
Create the namespace and credentials
kubectl create namespace ocp-mcp
# Token auth (replace with your cluster API URL and token)
kubectl create secret generic ocp-mcp-server-credentials \
--from-literal=OCP_API_URL=https://api.k8s.example.com:6443 \
--from-literal=OCP_TOKEN=<serviceaccount-token> \
-n ocp-mcpGenerate a long-lived ServiceAccount token:
kubectl create serviceaccount mcp-server -n default
kubectl create clusterrolebinding mcp-server-admin \
--clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=default:mcp-server
kubectl create token mcp-server -n default --duration=8760hApply the manifests
# Apply all resources except the OpenShift Route
kubectl apply -f deploy/serviceaccount.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/clusterrolebinding.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/configmap.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/service.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/ingress.yaml # Kubernetes Ingress (not Route)Edit deploy/ingress.yaml first to set the correct hostname for your cluster.
Verify
kubectl get pods -n ocp-mcp -l app.kubernetes.io/name=ocp-mcp-server
kubectl logs -n ocp-mcp -l app.kubernetes.io/name=ocp-mcp-server -f
kubectl get ingress -n ocp-mcpKubernetes compatibility note: Core tools (workloads, networking, storage, RBAC, config, monitoring, Tekton Pipelines) work on any Kubernetes cluster. Tools for OpenShift-specific APIs (Routes, BuildConfigs, SCCs, OLM, Machines, OpenShift AI, Virtualization, Service Mesh, ACM) return a clear "API not available" message on clusters where those CRDs are absent — they do not crash the server.
4. Connect an MCP client
Once deployed, point your MCP client at the Route URL:
https://<route-host>/mcpClaude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ocp": {
"transport": "http",
"url": "https://<route-host>/mcp"
}
}
}Claude Code (.claude/settings.json in your project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ocp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://<route-host>/mcp"
}
}
}5. MCP Inspector
The MCP Inspector is a browser-based UI for exploring MCP tools, resources, and prompts at the protocol level.
Route access is not possible with the standard inspector package. Its proxy backend binds to
127.0.0.1(loopback) by design, and the browser-side JS connects to the proxy atlocalhost:SERVER_PORT. Via a Route,localhostresolves to the user's machine — not the pod — so the proxy is never reachable.oc port-forwardis required.For remote browser-based tool exploration without port-forward, use the Gradio web UI instead (see section 7 below) — it has a Tool Playground tab covering all 216 tools and works via a standard Route.
Deploy:
oc apply -f deploy/inspector.yaml -n ocp-mcpAccess via port-forward (required):
# Forward both ports — UI (6274) and proxy backend (6277)
oc port-forward svc/mcp-inspector 6274:6274 6277:6277 -n ocp-mcpOpen http://localhost:6274 in your browser, then connect with:
Field | Value |
Transport | Streamable HTTP |
URL |
|
Use the internal ClusterIP service name — the inspector proxy (inside the pod) makes the actual connection to the MCP server, not the browser.
Remove when done:
oc delete -f deploy/inspector.yaml -n ocp-mcp6. Deploy the Gradio web UI
The Gradio UI runs as a separate Deployment using the same image with OCP_MODE=ui.
Edit deploy/deployment.yaml, add a second Deployment (or patch the existing one):
# Add to the container's env section:
- name: OCP_MODE
value: "ui"
# Change containerPort to 7860 and update the Service/Route accordingly.Or run it locally:
docker compose --profile ui up7. Environment variables reference (container)
All variables from Environment variables reference apply. Container-specific additions:

MCP Resources
Resources expose live cluster state as URI-addressable read-only content. MCP clients can subscribe to them and display them alongside tool results.
URI | Description |
| Cluster version, infrastructure name, API URL, platform, topology, upgrade history, and available updates |
| All nodes with role, ready status, OS image, kubelet version, and age |
| All ClusterOperators sorted degraded-first with Available/Progressing/Degraded columns |
| Currently firing Alertmanager alerts, severity-sorted, with summary |
| Pods in a namespace: phase, ready containers, restarts, IP, node, age |
| Last 50 events in a namespace sorted most-recent-first |
| Deployments in a namespace: desired/ready/available/updated replicas and health conditions |
MCP Prompts
Prompts are pre-built operational runbooks that the LLM can invoke to get step-by-step guidance. Each prompt returns a structured multi-step plan that chains together the right tools automatically.
Prompt | Parameters | Purpose |
|
| Diagnose a failing or crashlooping pod: inspect status, read logs, check events, diagnose by failure pattern (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, ImagePullBackOff, Pending) |
|
| Diagnose network connectivity between pods/services: verify selectors, check endpoints, test DNS, test TCP, inspect NetworkPolicies, check Routes |
|
| Diagnose node MemoryPressure/DiskPressure/PIDPressure: check conditions, review resource usage, surface events, cordon/drain if needed |
|
| Safe upgrade pre-flight + procedure: verify operators, nodes, etcd, alerts; pause MCPs; initiate upgrade; monitor rollout; verify completion |
|
| Provision a new OpenShift project with ResourceQuota, LimitRange, default-deny NetworkPolicy, RoleBindings, and a dedicated ServiceAccount |
|
| Deploy an ML model via OpenShift AI/RHOAI: verify RHOAI, find serving runtime, create InferenceService, monitor readiness, test endpoint, configure HPA |
| — | Systematic triage for a degraded cluster: survey operators, check nodes, verify etcd, list alerts, scan events, deep-dive degraded operators |
|
| Live-migrate a KubeVirt VM: verify running state, check RWX storage, initiate VMIM, monitor progress, verify success, troubleshoot if stuck |
|
| Diagnose a stuck operator install: inspect Subscription, InstallPlan, CSV status, approve pending plans, check pod logs, verify CatalogSource |
|
| Deploy via ArgoCD: verify GitOps operator, create AppProject, configure namespace access, create Application CR, trigger sync, verify health |

ClusterRegistry._load() — tried in order, first success wins:
1. OCP_CLUSTERS → JSON array → one ClusterClient per entry
2. OCP_API_URL + OCP_TOKEN → bearer-token ClusterClient
3. OCP_API_URL + OCP_USERNAME + OCP_PASSWORD → oc login → extract token

No mock data — every tool makes real API calls or runs
oc.Safe defaults — secrets never expose values, only key names. Destructive tools have
WARNINGin their docstrings so the LLM knows to confirm before executing.Graceful degradation — tools catch
ApiExceptionand return readable errors. Missing CRDs (e.g. KubeVirt not installed) return a helpful message instead of crashing.Multi-cluster first — every tool accepts a
clusterparameter. The default cluster is whichever config loaded first.Escape hatches —
apply_manifest,run_oc_command, andlist_custom_resourceslet the LLM reach anything not covered by a typed tool.
Adding a new tool
Find the relevant module in
src/ocp_mcp/tools/or create a new one.Add a function decorated with
@mcp.tool():
from ocp_mcp.app import mcp
from ocp_mcp.client import format_error, get_client
@mcp.tool()
def my_new_tool(name: str, namespace: str = "default", cluster: str = "") -> str:
"""One-sentence description shown to the LLM."""
c = get_client(cluster)
try:
result = c.core_v1.read_namespaced_something(name, namespace)
return f"Result: {result.metadata.name}"
except Exception as e:
return format_error(e)If you created a new file, add
import ocp_mcp.tools.your_moduletoserver.py.
Conventions:
Always accept
cluster: str = ""as the last parameter before any cluster-specific args.Call
get_client(cluster)and usec.oc_args()when buildingrun_ocinvocations — never callrun_ocwithout the cluster auth args, or multi-cluster calls will silently target the wrong cluster.Return strings only — tool output is text surfaced directly to the LLM.
Catch all exceptions and return
format_error(e)rather than letting them propagate.

Security considerations
Secrets —
get_secret_keyslists key names only.list_secretsshows type and count. Values are never returned.Destructive ops —
delete_namespace,drain_node,delete_virtual_machine, etc. includeDESTRUCTIVEwarnings in their docstrings so the LLM knows to confirm before executing.run_oc_command— usesshlex.split(no shell=True) so shell metacharacters (|,>,;) are inert literal arguments. Blocked verbs:delete,rm,exec,replace— these have typed tools with confirmation prompts.apply_manifest— applies arbitrary YAML; the LLM should show the manifest to the user before calling this in agentic contexts. The-n namespaceflag does not restrict cluster-scoped resources.Bearer token redaction —
run_ocredacts--token <value>to--token <redacted>in all error messages, preventing credential exposure in LLM context or logs.Multi-cluster routing — all
ocCLI calls prependc.oc_args()(injects--serverand--token) so the correct cluster is always targeted when multiple clusters are configured.RBAC — create a minimal ServiceAccount with only the permissions your use case needs. The tools work with whatever RBAC the token has.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of disclosing behavioral traits. It states the grant action but does not mention that this mutates RBAC bindings, requires elevated permissions, is reversible, or what side effects may occur. The mention of the oc adm command adds some specificity but no operational consequences.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single efficient sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, and includes the underlying command as a useful reference. Every word contributes; there is no padding or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although an output schema exists, this is a mutating tool with no annotations and three parameters, one of which is undocumented in both schema and description. The description offers no guidance on the cluster parameter, RBAC implications, prerequisites, or relationship to similar tools, leaving the agent to infer critical invocation context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does clarify that 'role' refers to a ClusterRole and 'group' refers to a group, which maps directly to the two required parameters. However, the optional 'cluster' parameter is entirely unexplained, and no value formats or constraints are given, leaving a meaningful gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Grant') and resource ('a ClusterRole to a group'), and names the exact underlying OpenShift command. This clearly identifies what the tool does and distinguishes it from sibling tools like add_cluster_role_to_user, add_user_to_group, and create_role_binding.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as add_cluster_role_to_user, add_user_to_group, or create_role_binding. The purpose is implied but there is no explicit context about prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it relates to other RBAC tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
add_cluster_role_to_userB
Grant a ClusterRole to a user via 'oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user'.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| role | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| username | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full disclosure burden. It indicates a mutating RBAC action but does not mention idempotency, how existing bindings are affected, whether cluster-admin privileges are required, or what side effects occur.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, direct sentence that front-loads the action and resource before the implementation detail. Every word earns its place, and it is an appropriate size for a simple RBAC grant operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The output schema exists, so return-value documentation is not required from the description. However, for a mutating RBAC tool with no annotations, the description is thin: it lacks cluster parameter semantics, permission expectations, and guidance about the similar sibling tool, leaving an agent to infer important context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It clarifies that 'role' is a ClusterRole and 'username' is a user, but it entirely omits the ambiguous 'cluster' parameter and gives no additional semantics beyond the property names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Grant'), a clear resource ('a ClusterRole'), and a target ('a user'), and backs it with the exact underlying oc command. This distinguishes it from the sibling add_cluster_role_to_group by explicitly naming the recipient as a user.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as add_cluster_role_to_group, list_cluster_roles, or create_role_binding. It implies when it applies by its name, but never states prerequisites, conditions, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
add_scc_to_service_accountA
Grant an SCC to a ServiceAccount via 'oc adm policy add-scc-to-user'. Equivalent to: oc adm policy add-scc-to-user system:serviceaccount::

| scc_name | Yes | ||
| namespace | Yes | ||
| service_account | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only states it grants an SCC (mutation) but does not disclose side effects, authorization needs, or reversibility.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise: two sentences, front-loaded with verb, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Output schema exists (not shown), so return value not needed; however, tool is a mutation and description lacks details like whether it returns the created binding or just success.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Description adds meaning by mapping parameters to command pattern (scc_name, namespace, service_account) but does not fully explain optional 'cluster' parameter; schema has 0% description coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states action (grant), resource (SCC to ServiceAccount), and provides equivalent command, distinguishing from sibling 'remove_scc_from_service_account'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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; only implied by action description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
add_user_to_groupB
Add a user to an OpenShift Group (atomic — uses oc adm groups add-users).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| username | Yes | ||
| group_name | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the operation is atomic and uses 'oc adm groups add-users,' which adds useful behavioral context. However, it omits permission requirements, idempotency, behavior when the group or user does not exist, and other 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. The parenthetical adds a meaningful implementation detail without bloating the text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple and has an output schema, so return-value details are not needed. Still, the description omits operational context such as required permissions, cluster default behavior, and group-existence semantics, making it only minimally adequate for correct invocation in a cluster toolset.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no detail about the cluster, username, or group_name parameters. While username and group_name are self-evident, the optional cluster parameter is left ambiguous with an empty default, and the description does not compensate for the schema gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states a specific action and resource: 'Add a user to an OpenShift Group.' The parenthetical naming the exact underlying command further disambiguates it from siblings like remove_user_from_group, create_group, and add_cluster_role_to_group.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance is given about when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites such as group existence or permissions, nor does it point to related tools like remove_user_from_group or add_cluster_role_to_group for different access-management needs.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
apply_manifestC
Apply a YAML or JSON manifest to the cluster via 'oc apply -f -'. WARNING: This applies resources directly. Review manifests before applying.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | ||
| yaml_content | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions direct application via 'oc apply -f -' and includes a warning, but lacks details on side effects (e.g., creates/updates resources, potential overwrites) or prerequisites (e.g., authentication, cluster context). Minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences; the warning is front-loaded. No fluff, but the description is too brief for the tool's complexity. Conciseness is good, but completeness suffers.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Output schema exists but description does not mention return values. Given many sibling tools and the mutating nature, more context is needed (e.g., permissions, effects on existing resources, summary of output). Incomplete for safe usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description only implicitly explains the 'yaml_content' parameter by mentioning YAML/JSON. The 'cluster' and 'namespace' parameters are not described at all. The description adds little meaning beyond the schema field names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it applies a YAML or JSON manifest via 'oc apply -f -'. The purpose is clear, but it does not differentiate from sibling tools like run_oc_command, which might also apply manifests. A higher score would require explicit distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Includes a warning to review manifests before applying, but no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., run_oc_command). Missing scenarios where this tool is appropriate or inappropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
approve_install_planC
Approve a Manual InstallPlan by patching spec.approved=True.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description only states the mutation action. It does not disclose permissions needed, error conditions, idempotency, or consequences like triggering operator installation. The 'Manual InstallPlan' qualifier provides a useful constraint.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that efficiently states the core action. However, it may be overly minimal, lacking context that could be added without significant bloat.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema (not shown), the description provides no information about return values or error handling. For a mutation tool with no annotations, more behavioral context is needed to be complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on any of the three parameters. While parameter names ('name', 'cluster', 'namespace') are partially self-explanatory, the description adds no extra meaning to distinguish required from optional or clarify the 'name' field specifically.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Approve), the resource (Manual InstallPlan), and the mechanism (patching spec.approved=True). It distinguishes the tool from siblings as the only approval-specific tool for InstallPlans.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (e.g., list_install_plans, get_operator_status). Prerequisites or contexts like requiring manual InstallPlans are mentioned but not elaborated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
cancel_pipeline_runC
Cancel a running Tekton PipelineRun.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It only says 'cancel a running...' with no details on side effects, permissions, reversibility, or what happens to the run. Minimal behavioral disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 6 words, which is too brief to convey necessary information. Conciseness is not beneficial when key details are omitted.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema (which reduces the need to explain return values), the description lacks information about parameter meanings, usage context, and behavioral aspects. It is incomplete for a tool with 3 parameters and no annotation support.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on the three parameters (name, cluster, namespace). The meaning of each parameter is left entirely to the schema, which has no descriptions. This is a critical gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (cancel) and the resource (Tekton PipelineRun) with a specific verb+resource combination. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_pipeline_run or list_task_runs, though it doesn't explicitly mention alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, no prerequisites, no context about when not to use it. The description lacks any usage instructions beyond the basic action.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
cordon_nodeA
Cordon a node so that no new pods are scheduled on it.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It states the core behavior (cordon node, no new pods), but lacks details on side effects (existing pods continue running), safety, or idempotency (effect if already cordoned).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 9 words, front-loaded with the action and resource. No unnecessary words, efficient and to the point.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 params, output schema exists), the description is minimal but could be expanded with context like effect on existing pods, idempotency, or how to verify state. It is adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the purpose of the required 'name' parameter nor the optional 'cluster' parameter. No parameter-level context is added beyond what is in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Cordon' on resource 'node', and specifies the effect 'so that no new pods are scheduled on it'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'uncordon_node' (reverses the operation) and listing tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Usage is implied: use cordon to prevent pod scheduling on a node, and uncordon to re-enable. However, no explicit guidance on when to use versus when not, nor any prerequisites or alternatives mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_componentC
Create a Konflux Component.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes | ||
| source_branch | No | main | |
| container_image | No | ||
| source_repo_url | Yes | ||
| application_name | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It merely says 'Create a Konflux Component' with no disclosure of behavioral traits such as permissions needed, side effects, idempotency, or what succeeds.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one short sentence) but severely underspecified for a tool with 7 parameters. Important details are omitted, so it is not appropriately sized.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of the tool (7 parameters, no annotations), the description fails to provide adequate context about the component being created, the output, or any constraints. It is completely inadequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must clarify parameter meaning. It adds nothing beyond the schema field names, leaving semantics ambiguous for parameters like 'source_repo_url' and 'container_image'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Create' and the resource 'Konflux Component', making the purpose understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate this tool from siblings like 'get_component' or other create tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, or any prerequisites. The description offers no context for invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_configmapB
Create a ConfigMap. data is KEY=VALUE pairs separated by newlines or commas. Example: KEY1=value1\nKEY2=value2
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| data | Yes | ||
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Create a ConfigMap' without mentioning side effects, failure scenarios, or required permissions. The data format example is helpful but insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences plus an example, all essential. Front-loaded with purpose, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity and absence of annotations, the description omits important context about idempotency, default behavior, and expected outcomes. An output schema exists but is not referenced.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must add meaning. It explains the 'data' parameter format (KEY=VALUE pairs). However, other parameters (name, namespace, cluster) lack additional context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Create a ConfigMap', indicating a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'list_configmaps' and 'delete_configmap' by focusing on creation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, when not to use it, or comparisons to other tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_groupC
Create an empty OpenShift Group.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It states creation but omits important details like whether the group is immediately usable, what happens if the group already exists (error or update?), and what permissions are required.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words, making it concise. However, it sacrifices important details for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 2 parameters, no schema descriptions, and no annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not provide enough context for an agent to use it correctly, especially with many sibling create tools that require differentiation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not explain the 'cluster' parameter at all. With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate, but it only implies the 'name' parameter is the group name, leaving the agent to guess the purpose of 'cluster'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Create' and identifies the resource as 'empty OpenShift Group', distinguishing it from sibling tools that create other resources like namespaces or role bindings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, such as when to create a group versus adding users to an existing group, or any prerequisites like cluster admin permissions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_hpaC
Create an HPA using 'oc autoscale'. target_ref format: 'Deployment/my-app' or 'DeploymentConfig/my-dc'. cpu_percent: target CPU utilisation percentage (default 80).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes | ||
| target_ref | Yes | ||
| cpu_percent | No | ||
| max_replicas | Yes | ||
| min_replicas | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only reveals that it uses 'oc autoscale' and gives parameter formatting, but does not mention side effects (e.g., whether it overwrites existing HPAs), required permissions, reversibility, or failure behavior. For a mutating tool, 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—three short lines—and front-loads the core action. There is no redundant information, and the essential parameter clarifications are included directly after the action. It is well-structured and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 7 parameters, no schema descriptions, and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It omits explanations for most required parameters and provides no context about expected outcomes, error conditions, or relationship to sibling tools. The existence of an output schema is noted, but without its contents, the description remains insufficient for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain all parameters. It explains target_ref format and the cpu_percent default, but leaves name, namespace, cluster, min_replicas, and max_replicas unexplained. These may be self-evident by name, but the description does not compensate for the missing schema descriptions beyond two parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create an HPA') and the underlying command ('oc autoscale'), which identifies the resource type and differentiates from list/delete HPA tools. It doesn't explicitly contrast with other scaling tools like scale_deployment or create_machine_autoscaler, but the resource focus is specific enough for an agent to distinguish.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (e.g., scale_deployment, create_machine_autoscaler). It doesn't mention prerequisites, typical scenarios, or conditions that would route an agent here. Usage is only implied by the tool name and the action, leaving the agent to infer appropriateness.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_inference_serviceC

| serving_runtime | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as destructive nature, required permissions, side effects, or error conditions. The description is too minimal to inform the agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise but underspecified. The description is a single sentence that does not earn its place as it provides no additional value beyond the tool name.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 7 parameters and an output schema, the description is completely inadequate. It does not cover parameter usage, return values, or any contextual information needed for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to the 7 parameters. It merely restates the tool's action without explaining parameter roles or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Create' and the resource 'KServe InferenceService CR', which is specific. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like list_model_servers or delete_inference_service, so it lacks contrast.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites, typical scenarios, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_job_from_cronjobA
Create a Job immediately from a CronJob template (manual trigger).
Args: cronjob_name: Source CronJob name. job_name: Name for the newly created Job. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| job_name | Yes | ||
| namespace | No | default | |
| cronjob_name | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 does convey the key behavior—creating a Job immediately from a CronJob template—and 'manual trigger' adds meaning beyond the tool name. However, it omits side effects, permission requirements, idempotency concerns, or what happens to the CronJob itself, leaving a moderate transparency gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and well-structured: a single front-loaded action sentence followed by a terse Args list where every line adds semantic value. There is no boilerplate or redundant elaboration, and the most important intent communicated first.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple, fully scalar parameter set with an output schema present, the description covers all inputs, defaults, and the source/target relationship needed to call the tool. It could be more complete about permissions or return behavior, but the existing schema and straightforward create semantics make the description sufficient for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the Args block fully compensates by explaining every parameter: cronjob_name is the source, job_name is the new Job's name, namespace has a default, and cluster is the target cluster defaulting to empty. This adds meaning that the schema alone does not provide.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The opening sentence states a specific action ('Create a Job') and the source resource ('from a CronJob template') with the contextual qualifier 'manual trigger'. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_cronjobs, list_jobs, or other create operations such as create_configmap and create_namespace.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'manual trigger' provides clear context for when this tool is appropriate: immediately invoking a CronJob template outside of its scheduled run. It does not explicitly name excluded alternatives or contrast with other job/cronjob tools, but the usage intent is clear enough to guide tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_machine_autoscalerA
Create a MachineAutoscaler CR targeting a MachineSet in openshift-machine-api. Requires a ClusterAutoscaler to be configured for this to take effect.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| machineset_name | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries full burden for behavioral hints. It states the creation action but does not disclose mutation effects, idempotency, permissions required, or error conditions. The prerequisite is useful but insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise with two sentences, front-loading the core action immediately. No extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has an output schema (not shown), the description need not detail return values. It provides a critical prerequisite but omits error behaviors, conflict handling, or scope of changes. Adequate for a straightforward CRUD tool but could be richer.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no additional meaning to the parameters. While three parameters are self-explanatory ('name', 'machineset_name', 'min_replicas', 'max_replicas'), the 'cluster' parameter has a default but no explanation. The baseline is 3 due to minimal description contribution.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create'), the resource ('MachineAutoscaler CR'), and the target ('MachineSet in openshift-machine-api'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list_machine_autoscalers and scale_machine_set.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a key prerequisite: 'Requires a ClusterAutoscaler to be configured for this to take effect.' This guides the agent on necessary conditions. However, it lacks explicit exclusions or alternative tools for different scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_manifest_workC
Create a ManifestWork to deploy resources to a ManagedCluster.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, error handling, or whether the operation is destructive. The description is too brief.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (one sentence) but lacks necessary detail. It is appropriately short but not sufficiently informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With four parameters (three required) and an output schema, the description fails to explain what a ManifestWork is or how to format the manifests_yaml parameter, leaving significant gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description adds no meaning to the four parameters (name, cluster, cluster_name, manifests_yaml). Their formats and purposes are unexplained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Create', the resource 'ManifestWork', and the purpose 'to deploy resources to a ManagedCluster'. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list_manifest_works.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, nor are there any prerequisites or exclusion criteria mentioned. The description lacks usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_namespaceB
Create a new namespace, optionally with labels.
Args: name: Namespace name. labels: Comma-separated KEY=VALUE pairs (e.g. "env=prod,team=platform"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and description lacks disclosure of side effects, idempotency, or error scenarios (e.g., duplicate namespace handling).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Concise with clear 'Args:' listing; no superfluous text, though slightly more structure (e.g., note on default cluster) could improve.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers basic parameters and return type hinted by output schema, but missing failure modes or what the response contains.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Description explains parameter formats (e.g., 'KEY=VALUE' for labels, cluster target default) beyond the schema's titles, compensating for 0% schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Create' and the resource 'namespace', with optional labels. It directly distinguishes from siblings like delete_namespace and list_namespaces.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives (e.g., apply_manifest), no prerequisites or explicit context for usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for disclosing behavioral traits. It mentions creating a PVC (a write operation) but lacks details on permissions required, side effects (e.g., if PVC already exists), or any constraints. The format examples are helpful but insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise at three sentences, with the purpose stated first. Every sentence adds value through examples and valid values. However, it could be structured more formally with clearer parameter explanations.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 6 parameters, no annotations, an output schema, and performs a creation operation, the description is minimal. It does not explain return values (though output schema exists), permission requirements, or specific constraints like cluster selection. The context is incomplete for safe invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 100% schema description coverage (0% in schema, but description adds value), the description provides examples for storage_request (e.g., '10Gi') and lists valid access_mode values. However, it does not explain the cluster, storage_class, or other parameters, leaving gaps. This adds moderate meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's action: creating a PersistentVolumeClaim. It provides examples for key parameters, making the purpose unambiguous. The sibling tools include list_pvcs and get_pvc, which are distinct operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs alternatives like list_pvcs or get_pvc. It does not mention prerequisites, such as requiring an existing namespace or storage class, nor does it exclude scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full behavioral disclosure burden. It does not mention whether updates are allowed, idempotency, required permissions, or error conditions. Only explains the cluster_role and subject_kind parameters, missing broader behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (two main sentences plus parameter hints) and front-loads the purpose. No redundant information, but could be slightly more structured with bullet points for parameters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 8 parameters, 5 required, and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on return value, permission requirements, namespace vs cluster scope handling, and interaction with other RBAC resources. Does not fully leverage the output schema to reduce burden.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must compensate. It explains subject_kind (User, Group, ServiceAccount) and cluster_role flag, adding value beyond schema. However, 6 out of 8 parameters (name, namespace, role_name, subject_name, etc.) lack explanation beyond their names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create a RoleBinding') and the resource type, with additional context on key parameters like subject_kind and cluster_role. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like delete_role_binding and list_cluster_role_bindings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs alternatives (e.g., creating ClusterRoleBindings, using other RBAC tools). The description provides parameter details but no context on prerequisites or appropriate scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_routeA
Create an OpenShift Route by exposing a Service.
Uses 'oc expose' to create a basic route and then patches TLS termination and path if required.
Args: name: Route name. namespace: Namespace. service: Name of the Service to expose. host: Hostname for the route (empty = let the router assign one). path: URL path prefix (default "/"). tls_termination: TLS termination type: "edge", "passthrough", "reencrypt", or "" (no TLS). port: Target port name or number (empty = first port from Service). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| host | No | ||
| name | Yes | ||
| path | No | / | |

| tls_termination | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral transparency burden. It does disclose meaningful process details: it creates a basic route via 'oc expose' and then patches TLS termination and path if required. However, it does not disclose behavior on conflicts, idempotency, or what happens when the target Service does not exist.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is well organized: a front-loaded purpose statement, implementation note, and a compact Args list that adds necessary semantics missing from the schema. It is efficient, though slightly longer than the minimal get_calls model because of the parameter documentation burden.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the 8-parameter mutation tool and zero schema descriptions, the description covers all parameter meanings and explains the creation/patching behavior. An output schema exists, so return-value documentation is not required. It could be more complete with explicit prerequisites or conflict behavior, but it is sufficient for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, so the description's Args section fully compensates by explaining every one of the 8 parameters. It adds valuable semantic detail beyond the schema, such as host empty meaning router-assigned, path default '/', tls_termination empty meaning no TLS, and port empty meaning the first port from the Service.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Create an OpenShift Route by exposing a Service.' It also states the implementation approach ('Uses 'oc expose'') and optional patching of TLS termination and path, which clearly distinguishes it from sibling route tools such as list_routes, get_route, and delete_route.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is for creating routes but never says when to prefer it over alternatives like run_oc_command or any other route-creation path. It also does not mention exclusions, prerequisites, or conditions under which this tool should not be used.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_sccB
Create a custom SecurityContextConstraint CR. run_as_any: if True, sets RunAsAny for runAsUser and fsGroup. allow_privilege_escalation: if True, allows processes to gain more privileges than their parent (required for setuid binaries).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| host_pid | No | ||
| privileged | No | ||
| run_as_any | No | ||
| host_network | No | ||
| allow_privilege_escalation | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It explains effects of two parameters but omits important details like required cluster-admin privileges, default behavior for other parameters, and response format. No mention of side effects 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two focused sentences, no redundant information, and front-loads the primary purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (7 parameters, creation operation, no annotations, output schema exists), the description is too brief. It does not cover required permissions, parameter interactions, or typical use cases, leaving the agent underinformed for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, but the description adds meaning for 2 out of 7 parameters (run_as_any, allow_privilege_escalation). The remaining parameters (name, cluster, host_pid, privileged, host_network) are left undocumented, which is insufficient given the low baseline coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Create') and the resource ('custom SecurityContextConstraint CR'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_sccs or add_scc_to_service_account.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is for creating SCCs but provides no guidance on when to use versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusions like required permissions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_silenceA
Create an Alertmanager silence. matchers: comma-separated key=value or key=~regex pairs. Example: 'alertname=Watchdog,severity=~warning|critical' duration_hours: silence duration in hours (default 4).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| comment | Yes | ||
| matchers | Yes | ||
| duration_hours | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden. It conveys the operation and the matcher/duration configuration, but it does not disclose side effects such as silencing matching alerts, reversibility, or any required permissions. This is a moderate gap for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and front-loaded with its main purpose, followed by concise parameter notes and a useful example. Every line serves a purpose, with no filler or unnecessary repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description provides enough to invoke the tool with the required matchers and comment and to understand duration, and an output schema exists. However, because there are no annotations and the cluster parameter is left undefined, the overall context for safe and correct use is only partially complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description's matcher format guidance and example add meaningful value. It also clarifies the duration_hours parameter. However, it leaves cluster and comment semantically unexplained beyond their schema titles.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Create an Alertmanager silence.' This clearly identifies the intended operation and distinguishes it from related siblings such as list_silences and delete_silence. The parameter notes reinforce that this is a creation action rather than a query or deletion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description states what the tool does but gives no guidance about when an agent should choose it over alternatives or what prerequisites might apply. It does not mention exclusions, conditions, or related tools like delete_silence, so the agent receives no decision rules for selecting this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_subscriptionA
Create an OLM Subscription to install an operator from a CatalogSource. install_mode is informational only (set via OperatorGroup, not Subscription spec).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| source | Yes | ||
| channel | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| package | Yes | ||
| namespace | Yes | ||
| install_mode | No | OwnNamespace | |
| source_namespace | No | openshift-marketplace |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It correctly signals a mutating action that installs an operator, and usefully warns that install_mode is not actually honored by the Subscription and must instead be set via OperatorGroup. It does not disclose permission requirements or other side effects, leaving some transparency gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two purposeful sentences: the first states the action, resource, and purpose; the second delivers a critical caveat. There is no filler or duplicated schema content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Because an output schema is present, not documenting return values is acceptable. The critical gap is on the input side: eight parameters, no schema descriptions, no annotations, and the description only clarifies install_mode. No prerequisites or relationship between source and source_namespace is given, so the tool cannot be invoked confidently without external OLM knowledge.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the eight parameters. It only clarifies install_mode; parameters such as name vs. package, source vs. source_namespace, namespace, channel, and cluster are left to name-based inference. This is insufficient for an empty schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific action and resource: 'Create an OLM Subscription', and states the goal ('install an operator from a CatalogSource'. This makes the tool's role clear and separates it from the many lifecycle siblings such as list_subscriptions and delete_subscription.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The purpose statement implies the main use case: installing an operator via OLM when a CatalogSource is available. However, it gives no explicit when-to-use/not-use guidance and does not name related alternatives, so the agent must infer routing from the sibling list.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_virtual_machineC
Create a VirtualMachine. Provide image_url (HTTP) or pvc_name (existing PVC).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| memory | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| pvc_name | No | ||
| cpu_cores | Yes | ||
| image_url | No | ||
| namespace | Yes | ||
| cloud_init_userdata | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It indicates creation (mutation) but omits details like whether it blocks until ready, required permissions, or side effects (e.g., resource consumption). The output schema is not referenced, so return behavior is unclear.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise at 13 words, front-loading the purpose. It is appropriately brief but could include more structured information without becoming verbose. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of VM creation (8 parameters, no annotations, output schema exists but unused), the description is too thin. It lacks information on return value, default behavior, constraints (e.g., required field formats), and failure modes. Competing tools with similar complexity (e.g., create_pvc) likely offer more complete descriptions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains the mutual exclusivity of image_url and pvc_name, adding meaning beyond schema titles. However, it ignores 6 of 8 parameters (e.g., cpu_cores, memory, cloud_init_userdata), leaving their semantics entirely to schema titles without added context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a VirtualMachine, which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_virtual_machines or start_virtual_machine by focusing on creation. The mention of two boot source options (image_url or pvc_name) adds precision.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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. It does not specify prerequisites, such as requiring an existing PVC for pvc_name, or when not to use it (e.g., if the VM already exists). The description merely states the creation method options.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_vm_snapshotC
Create a VirtualMachineSnapshot of a VM.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| vm_name | Yes | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states the action without any details on side effects (e.g., whether the VM must be powered off, snapshot consistency guarantees, or duration). This is insufficient for an agent to understand the tool's impact.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, very concise and front-loaded with the action. It could include a bit more detail without losing conciseness, but it is efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description lacks essential context such as error conditions, prerequisites, or workflow steps. For a snapshot creation tool, more behavioral and usage context is needed to be complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 4 parameters with no descriptions (0% coverage), and the description adds no meaning to any parameter (name, cluster, vm_name, namespace). The agent receives no help on how to use these parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Create a VirtualMachineSnapshot of a VM' clearly states the action and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_vm_snapshots and restore_vm_snapshot. It could be slightly more specific about the scope (e.g., namespace), but overall it is clear.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (e.g., restore_vm_snapshot). There is no mention of prerequisites or context for invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
create_volume_snapshotB
Create a VolumeSnapshot from a PersistentVolumeClaim.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| snapshot_class | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool creates a snapshot, but it does not mention required permissions, side effects, prerequisites about the PVC or snapshot class, or whether the operation is reversible.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no filler, front-loading the action and object. It earns its place by clearly stating the tool's purpose, though it may be terse at the expense of behavioral detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a create operation with five parameters CommonKebab and no annotation coverage, the description is too sparse. It does not address prerequisites, parameter semantics, or behavioral implications, leaving an agent with insufficient context to invoke the tool confidently beyond basic intent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description only clarifies that the snapshot is created from a PersistentVolumeClaim, which maps to pvc_name. It provides no meaning for name, namespace, snapshot_class, or cluster, so it only minimally compensates for the missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Create') and resource ('VolumeSnapshot') along with the source ('PersistentVolumeClaim'). This clearly differentiates it from siblings like create_vm_snapshot and list_volume_snapshots without needing to inspect schemas.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies its use case: creating a snapshot from a PVC. However, it provides no explicit when-to-use guidance, no exclusions, and does not mention alternatives such as listing snapshots or creating VM snapshots.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_configmapC
Delete a ConfigMap.

| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'Delete a ConfigMap,' omitting details like irreversibility, permission requirements, or behavior on nonexistent ConfigMaps. The presence of an output schema is not acknowledged.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks structure. It does front-load the core action, but the brevity leaves important gaps.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has three parameters and an output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not cover return values, error conditions, or the context of deletion (e.g., cluster/namespace scope).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no parameter information beyond the schema itself. The three parameters (name, cluster, namespace) are not explained, leaving the agent without guidance on their usage or defaults.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it deletes a ConfigMap, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_configmaps or create_configmap.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives, no prerequisites, and no mention of when not to use it. The description does not help the agent decide between this and other delete tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_hpaC
Delete a HorizontalPodAutoscaler.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the burden. It only states the action 'Delete' which implies destructive behavior, but does not disclose consequences like permanent removal, impact on scaling, or whether confirmation is required. It also does not mention authorization needs or failure modes.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, a single sentence with no fluff. However, it is so sparse that it borders on under-specification, but for a simple delete operation, it is appropriately sized.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has an output schema (likely for status) and only 3 parameters, the description is minimal. It lacks information about the output structure, error handling, or any side effects. For a destructive operation, more context is needed to ensure correct usage, such as confirmation or irreversibility.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. It does not explain any parameters, but the parameter names (name, cluster, namespace) are self-explanatory and the schema provides defaults for cluster and namespace. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what a user can infer from parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the action and resource: 'Delete a HorizontalPodAutoscaler.' It is clear but basic, and does not distinguish from siblings like list_hpas or create_hpa beyond the obvious verb difference. It lacks specificity about scope or effects.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, such as needing the HPA to exist or verifying deletion, nor when it is appropriate to delete an HPA versus scaling it down. The sibling list includes scaling tools, but no differentiation is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the full burden but fails to disclose behavioral traits like whether deletion is immediate, destructive, or reversible. It does not mention required permissions or potential impacts.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no unnecessary words. However, the lack of detail limits its value, but it is not verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (delete operation with 3 params) and the presence of an output schema, the description is too sparse. It does not explain return values, error handling, or necessary conditions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to the parameters (name, cluster, namespace). It does not explain the purpose of 'cluster' or constraints on inputs.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Delete' and the resource 'KServe InferenceService', making the purpose unambiguous. It also distinguishes from sibling tools like 'create_inference_service'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 such as 'delete_service' or 'delete_pvc'. There is no mention of prerequisites or context for deletion.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

The description is extremely concise: two sentences that get straight to the point. The warning is front-loaded, and every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present, the description need not cover return values. It explains the effect adequately for a destructive operation. However, it does not mention error conditions or prerequisites (e.g., machine existence).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not elaborate on the parameters (name, cluster). It adds no meaning beyond the schema, leaving the agent without guidance on how to specify the cluster or what each parameter does.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Delete' and the resource 'Machine', and explains that the underlying node will be drained and terminated. It is distinct from sibling tools like get_machine or scale_machine_set.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes a 'WARNING: Destructive' which implicitly advises cautious usage. It does not explicitly state when to use vs alternatives, but the warning effectively communicates the tool's serious nature.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_namespaceA
DESTRUCTIVE: Delete a namespace and ALL resources within it.
This action is irreversible. All pods, services, persistent volume claims, and other objects in the namespace will be permanently deleted.
Args: name: Namespace to delete. cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description clearly labels the tool as 'DESTRUCTIVE' and 'irreversible', and lists the types of resources that will be permanently deleted (pods, services, PVCs, etc.). This provides good behavioral transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: a warning header, irreversibility note, a list of affected resources, and the two parameters. Every sentence is necessary and front-loaded with the important destructive warning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description adequately covers the destructive nature and consequences of the operation. Given that an output schema exists, the lack of return value details is acceptable. The description is complete for a tool with this level of complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds meaning to the parameters: 'name: Namespace to delete.' and 'cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).' This clarifies the purpose and default behavior, which is useful since the schema has 0% coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Delete a namespace and ALL resources within it.', specifying the verb 'delete' and the resource 'namespace'. This distinguishes it from siblings like 'create_namespace' or 'list_namespaces'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description warns about irreversibility but does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'delete_resource'. The usage context is implied but lacks direct comparative guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_network_policyB

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states 'Delete a NetworkPolicy' without mentioning required permissions, reversibility, or what happens upon deletion. This is insufficient for a destructive action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short and front-loaded with the core action. Each line is purposeful. However, the use of Python docstring format (Args:) is slightly less natural for LLM consumption than plain text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the basic operation but omits details like success/failure indication, idempotency, or side effects. An output schema exists, but without its content, we assume it covers return values. Still, more context would be beneficial.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain all parameters. It does so for all three: name (required), namespace (default 'default'), and cluster (default empty). This adds meaning beyond the schema, though explanations are minimal.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description starts with 'Delete a NetworkPolicy.' which clearly states the verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools that delete other resources like pods, services, etc.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives or when not to use it. The description lacks any context about prerequisites or side effects, leaving the agent with minimal decision support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_podC
Delete a pod.
Args: name: Pod name. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). force: Force-delete immediately (grace-period=0). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| force | No | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It does not disclose that deletion is destructive, irreversible, or requires specific permissions. The 'force' parameter is briefly explained but overall behavioral impacts are missing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise: two-line summary and four parameter descriptions. No wasted words, information is presented in a structured args list.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a destructive action with no annotations, the description lacks warnings about side effects, return values, or prerequisites. The output schema exists but is not leveraged. The tool's behavior in cluster contexts is underspecified.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description adds minimal meaning beyond the schema: it repeats parameter names and defaults but provides no additional constraints or usage nuances.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Delete a pod' which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools as there is no other 'delete' for pods, but does not elaborate on scope or implications.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 other deletion tools or prerequisites. It simply states the action without context on selection criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_pvB
Delete a PersistentVolume. WARNING: ensure no PVC is bound before deleting.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It warns about potential issue if PVC is bound but does not describe what happens on deletion (e.g., error, destruction, cascade), nor does it mention auth requirements or idempotency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise, with one sentence and a warning. It is front-loaded and every part adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite simplicity, the description lacks details on return values, prerequisites beyond the warning, and how to verify precondition. The warning is helpful but incomplete for a safe deletion operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no explanation for either parameter ('name' or 'cluster'). The agent must infer their usage from names alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Delete a PersistentVolume' clearly states the verb and resource. The warning about ensuring no PVC is bound further clarifies the scope and distinguishes it from related tools like delete_pvc.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The warning provides a precondition ('ensure no PVC is bound'), giving some usage guidance. However, it does not specify when to use or avoid this tool, nor does it mention alternatives like checking PVCs first.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_pvcB
Delete a PersistentVolumeClaim. WARNING: data loss may occur if PVC is in use.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Warns about potential data loss if PVC is in use, which is a key behavioral trait. However, with no annotations, more details (e.g., irreversible deletion, permission requirements) would improve transparency. The warning adds some value.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise: one sentence with a critical warning. No unnecessary words. Front-loaded with the core action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a destructive tool with 3 parameters and an output schema, the description lacks details on parameter usage, output, and prerequisites. Among many sibling tools, it does not help differentiate usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description does not explain any parameter. It does not clarify what 'name', 'cluster', or 'namespace' represent, nor their defaults or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the action 'Delete' and the resource 'PersistentVolumeClaim'. Distinguishes from siblings like delete_pv (different resource) and create_pvc (opposite operation).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs alternatives. The warning about data loss implies caution but does not specify prerequisites or conditions for safe usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_resourceC
Delete any Kubernetes/OpenShift resource by type and name. WARNING: Destructive operation. Confirm the resource name before proceeding.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| force | No | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | ||
| resource_type | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 mentions 'Destructive operation' but fails to disclose other behavioral traits such as required permissions, synchronicity, success/error responses, or side effects beyond the warning. For a destructive tool, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences: first states purpose, second provides a critical warning. No unnecessary words. However, it could be slightly more structured (e.g., mentioning required vs optional parameters) without adding length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 5 parameters (2 required), no parameter-level descriptions, and is destructive, the description fails to cover essential usage context. It omits how to use optional parameters like cluster and namespace, and does not explain return values despite an output schema existing. The description is incomplete for safe and correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description only clarifies the purpose of 'resource_type' and 'name' (by type and name). The 'force', 'cluster', and 'namespace' parameters are left unexplained. The description adds minimal value beyond the parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the verb 'Delete', the resource type 'any Kubernetes/OpenShift resource', and specifies the parameters 'by type and name'. It effectively distinguishes this generic delete tool from the numerous sibling tools that delete specific resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes a warning about destructive operations but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this generic delete tool versus the many specific delete sibling tools (e.g., delete_pod, delete_service). There is no when-to-use or when-to-avoid context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_role_bindingC
Delete a RoleBinding.

| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 only says 'Delete' implying a destructive action, but does not mention consequences, irreversibility, required permissions, or any 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one sentence, six words) and front-loaded. However, it is so minimal that it borders on under-specification, missing opportunities to add value without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's destructive nature, three parameters, and the presence of many sibling tools, the description is incomplete. It does not clarify return behavior, error conditions, or the scope of deletion (e.g., cluster-wide vs namespace-scoped).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description adds no parameter details. It does not explain what 'name', 'cluster', or 'namespace' represent or how they affect the deletion. The agent must rely solely on parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Delete a RoleBinding' clearly states the action (delete) and the resource (RoleBinding), distinguishing it from sibling tools that list or create role bindings. It is specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, no prerequisites, and no conditions under which deletion should be performed. The agent receives no context for appropriate invocation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_routeC

| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only says 'Delete' but does not disclose consequences such as irreversibility, cascading effects, or required permissions. With no annotations, the description fails to provide adequate behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is brief but includes unnecessary boilerplate like 'Args:' and list formatting. Could be more concise by integrating parameter descriptions into a single sentence.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given it is a destructive operation with 3 parameters and an output schema (not described), the description lacks details on return values, side effects, and error conditions. It feels incomplete for a deletion tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, yet the description merely lists parameter names and defaults, adding no extra meaning beyond the schema. For example, 'cluster' is described as 'Named cluster to target', which is essentially the same as the property title. No format, constraints, or usage examples are given.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Delete' and the resource 'OpenShift Route', making the tool's purpose unambiguous. It is distinct from sibling tools like list_routes and get_route.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives such as delete_service or delete_pod. No mention of prerequisites, context, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_serviceC

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description only states the action 'Delete.' It does not disclose side effects, required permissions, or cascading impacts on dependent resources.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise, using a single line to state the purpose and a list for parameters. However, it lacks structured sections or additional context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values, but it fails to cover behavioral aspects or parameter details beyond names, leaving the agent uncertain about tool behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description lists parameters with minimal context (e.g., 'Service name') but adds no meaning beyond the input schema's type definitions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Delete a Service,' identifying the verb and resource. However, it does not distinguish this tool from sibling delete tools like delete_pod or delete_route.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives, nor any context about prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_silenceB
Delete an Alertmanager silence by its ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| silence_id | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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, but it only states the bare action. It does not disclose that deletion is permanent, that deleting an unknown or expired silence may error (Alertmanager returns 404), or what the cluster parameter routes to. 'Delete' implies mutation, but nothing beyond that is conveyed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence, eight words, zero filler, with the core action front-loaded. For a tool this simple, the length is appropriate and every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Complexity is low (2 params, 1 required, no enums), which lowers the burden, but with zero annotations and zero parameter descriptions, the one-liner leaves real gaps: cluster semantics, behavior on unknown IDs, and the link to list_silences/create_silence are all missing. An agent can infer the action but not the failure modes or cluster routing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, and it barely does. 'By its ID' adds slight meaning to silence_id, but the optional cluster parameter (default '') is entirely unexplained — the agent has no way to know whether or when to supply it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Delete'), a concrete resource ('an Alertmanager silence'), and the identifying mechanism ('by its ID'). It cleanly distinguishes itself from the sibling tools create_silence and list_silences without requiring the agent to open the schema.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisite (that the silence ID comes from list_silences or create_silence), and no exclusions. The only context an agent gets is the operation itself.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_subscriptionA
Delete an OLM Subscription. Set also_delete_csv=True to also remove the currently installed CSV.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default | |
| also_delete_csv | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations present, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It transparently states that the tool deletes a Subscription and that setting also_delete_csv=True additionally removes the installed CSV, which is a meaningful side effect. However, it does not mention irreversibility, required permissions, or downstream effects on the operator.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no filler. The core action is front-loaded, and the optional flag is explained immediately after with a clear conditional. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is a simple 4-parameter delete with an output schema, so the return format does not need to be described. The description covers the action and the key option. Minor gaps remain: the acronym CSV is not expanded, and there is no mention of what happens to the operator when the subscription is deleted, but nothing blocks correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explicitly explains the meaning and effect of also_delete_csv, which is the least obvious parameter. The remaining parameters (name, cluster, namespace) are left to their self-explanatory titles, so the description does not fully compensate for the missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: "Delete an OLM Subscription." It clearly distinguishes this tool from siblings such as create_subscription and list_subscriptions, and adds the optional CSV-removal behavior, which further clarifies the tool's scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The intended use is implied by the name and action, but the description gives no explicit guidance about when to choose this over alternatives or any conditions or prerequisites. There is no mention of when not to use it or how it relates to other subscription-management tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
delete_virtual_machineC
Delete a VirtualMachine (stop it first if running).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It notes that a running VM should be stopped first, but does not state whether deletion is permanent, whether associated resources are removed, or what permissions are required. The safety-critical destructive nature is under-communicated.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single efficient sentence with the core action and prerequisite front-loaded. There is no fluff or repetition of the tool name's obvious meaning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although an output schema exists, this destructive operation lacks essential context such as irreversibility, permission needs, and the relationship between the parameters. The minimal prerequisite note is helpful, but the description is not complete enough for safe invocation without additional reasoning.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it provides no information about name, namespace, or cluster parameters. The property names are self-explanatory, yet the description adds no semantic meaning beyond the schema field labels.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb and resource ('Delete a VirtualMachine') and adds a key prerequisite ('stop it first if running'), making the action clear and distinct from stop/restart operations. It does not explicitly name sibling tools, but the deletion intent is unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
It gives one useful precondition: stop the VM first if running. However, it does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over alternatives like stop_virtual_machine, delete_resource, or unpause_virtual_machine, nor does it explain exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
describe_podB
Run 'oc describe pod' for detailed pod information including events.
Args: name: Pod name. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).

| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It indicates the command is a describe/read operation and mentions events in the output, but it does not disclose permissions, side effects, error behavior, or how cluster targeting behaves beyond a brief parameter note.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and well structured: a single purpose statement followed by a concise argument list. Every sentence earns its place and the key behavior is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple three-parameter describe tool, the description covers purpose, output scope, and all parameters. A richer usage comparison with sibling tools would help, but the presence of an output schema reduces the need to document return values.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description is the only source of parameter meaning. It adds useful one-line semantics for all three parameters, including the namespace default and the cluster default behavior, which meaningfully compensates for the empty schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that it runs 'oc describe pod' and returns detailed pod information including events, which identifies both the action and the resource. It does not explicitly contrast with get_pod or list_pods, so sibling differentiation is only implicit.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given about when to use describe_pod versus get_pod, list_pods, or get_pod_logs. The description explains what the tool does but does not state when it should be preferred or when alternatives should be used.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
drain_nodeA
Drain a node by evicting all evictable pods (cordons the node first).
Args: name: Name of the node to drain. ignore_daemonsets: Ignore DaemonSet-managed pods (default True). delete_emptydir_data: Allow deletion of pods with emptyDir volumes (default False). force: Force eviction of pods not managed by a controller (default False). grace_period: Seconds for graceful termination; -1 uses pod default. cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| force | No | ||

| grace_period | No | ||
| ignore_daemonsets | No | ||
| delete_emptydir_data | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden, and it does reveal the main side effects: evicting pods and cordoning first. However, it does not disclose operational caveats such as potential workload disruption, PodDisruptionBudget restrictions, or when force is needed beyond the dry parameter list.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is appropriately compact and well structured: a one-sentence purpose statement followed by a compact argument glossary. No filler or repeated schema information; each line carries useful parameter semantics.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a six-parameter mutation tool with no annotations, the description covers the action, parameter semantics, and the cordon-first ordering, and the presence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return values. It still leaves an agent to infer operational context like whether drain is disruptive or what can cause evictions to fail, so it does not reach a perfect score.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the Args block provides meaningful explanations for all six parameters. Examples like 'grace_period: Seconds for graceful termination; -1 uses pod default' and 'cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default)' add real guidance the schema does not offer.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Drain a node by evicting all evictable pods (cordons the node first).' This clearly distinguishes it from read-only or non-disruptive node tools and explains the operation in two clear clauses.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly say when to choose drain_node versus equivalent alternatives like cordon_node or uncordon_node. The core action is clear, but there is no guidance on when not to use it or when a simpler/targeted sibling would be preferable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
exec_in_podB
Execute a command inside a pod via oc exec. command is split with shlex — shell metacharacters (pipes, redirects) are not interpreted.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| command | Yes | ||
| container | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the key behavioral trait that command is split with shlex and shell metacharacters are not interpreted. However, it omits details like whether it connects to a running container or output format (though output schema exists). The disclosed trait is valuable and goes beyond a generic 'execute command'.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no fluff. Every word adds value: the first states the action, the second clarifies a critical behavioral detail. No unnecessary information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 5 parameters, no schema descriptions, and no annotations, the description is far too brief. It lacks parameter explanations, usage context, and error/edge case behavior. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for the missing parameter semantics.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning beyond the schema. It does not mention any parameter names, purpose, or defaults. For 5 parameters including 'name' and 'command', the description provides no explanation of what each parameter does.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's action: 'Execute a command inside a pod via oc exec.' It also adds specific detail about shlex splitting and shell metacharacters not being interpreted. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'run_oc_command' or pod management tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (e.g., run_oc_command) or any prerequisites (e.g., pod must be running). The shlex note is behavioral, not usage direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_alert_detailsB
Get full labels, annotations, status, and silence info for all instances of a named alert.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| alert_name | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It does not explicitly state that the operation is read-only or require any special permissions, leaving the agent to infer safety from context. Adding a note about destructiveness would improve transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
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 without any extraneous words. Every word contributes meaning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the output schema exists (so return values need not be explained), the description could be more complete by mentioning the optional cluster parameter and clarifying the difference from similar list tools. However, for a simple detail retrieval, it provides the essential information.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description mentions 'named alert' which relates to the required 'alert_name' parameter, but does not explain the optional 'cluster' parameter or provide any constraints or formatting details. The parameter names are self-explanatory, but the description adds minimal value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'full labels, annotations, status, and silence info for all instances of a named alert.' It distinguishes from siblings like list_alerts and list_alerting_rules by specifying it retrieves detailed info for a specific alert by name.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context (getting details for a named alert) but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_alerts or list_alerting_rules, nor does it mention any exclusions or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_buildC
Get detailed Build information: phase, reason, output image, and timing.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It implies a read operation but does not explicitly state read-only, error conditions, authorization needs, or what happens if the build does not exist.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise: a single sentence that starts with the verb and resource, then lists key return fields. No unnecessary words, every part adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the return value adequately, and an output schema exists. However, it omits parameter documentation and usage context, which is a gap for a tool with 3 parameters. Adequate for minimal viability but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the parameters (name, cluster, namespace). The description only lists output fields, adding no meaning to the input parameters required to invoke the tool.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get detailed Build information' and lists key fields (phase, reason, output image, timing). It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like get_build_config or get_build_logs, though no explicit differentiation is provided.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives (e.g., get_build_config, get_build_logs). No prerequisites, exclusions, or context for usage are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_build_configB
Describe a BuildConfig in detail using oc describe bc.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description should compensate. It mentions using 'oc describe bc', implying a read operation, but does not disclose permissions, side effects, or behavior on missing resources. The description lacks behavioral details expected for a command-line tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise and front-loaded. However, it borders on being too vague; a bit more detail could improve clarity without sacrificing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is minimal for a tool that describes a complex resource. While an output schema is indicated (not shown), the description does not mention what 'in detail' means (e.g., full YAML/JSON). It is adequate but could be more complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the schema has no parameter descriptions. The tool description does not explain the parameters (name, cluster, namespace) beyond their names, missing an opportunity to clarify their roles, especially for 'cluster' and 'namespace' which have defaults but no explanation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it describes a BuildConfig in detail using 'oc describe bc'. The verb 'describe' and resource 'BuildConfig' are specific, and the tool is distinct from siblings like 'get_build' or 'get_build_logs' which serve different purposes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 is provided. The usage is implied by the name and description, but there is no mention of alternatives or prerequisites, which would be helpful given the large set of sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_build_logsA
Retrieve logs for a Build. Set follow=True to stream (returns available output).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| follow | No | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior. It correctly indicates a read operation and mentions streaming behavior for `follow`. However, it lacks details on error handling, log availability limits, or whether returning 'available output' means non-blocking.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise with two sentences that add unique value. No filler words, and each sentence provides essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description fails to explain the required `name` parameter and the optional `cluster`/`namespace`, which are needed for correct invocation. The description is too brief for a 4-parameter tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Only the `follow` parameter is described in the description (via usage tip). The required `name` parameter and optional `cluster`/`namespace` are not explained. With 0% schema coverage, this leaves significant gaps for correct invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies the action ('Retrieve logs') and the resource ('a Build'), making it distinct from sibling tools like `get_build` which returns build details. No ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides a usage tip for `follow=True` but does not explain when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., `get_build` for metadata). Usage context is implied but not explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_cluster_autoscalerB
Get the ClusterAutoscaler 'default' resource limits and scale-down configuration.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral disclosure burden. It only conveys that the operation is a get and does not mention permissions, behavior when the resource is absent, handling of the empty cluster parameter, side effects, or error semantics. It does not contradict any annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, direct sentence with no filler. The verb and resource target are front-loaded, and every word contributes to identifying what the tool does.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, an output schema exists, and the description names the returned data clearly enough for a basic invocation. However, the lack of annotations and the undocumented cluster parameter leave enough context gaps that the definition is only minimally complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description never mentions the 'cluster' parameter, so the meaning of the default empty value and how the cluster is selected are left to inference. The parameter name provides some signal, but the description adds no semantics beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with the verb 'Get', names the exact resource ('ClusterAutoscaler 'default''), and specifies the data subset returned ('resource limits and scale-down configuration'). This is specific enough to distinguish the tool from related siblings such as list_machine_autoscalers or get_machine_set.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and does not mention any alternative tool. Even though related siblings exist (e.g., list_machine_autoscalers), the agent gets no help deciding between them.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_cluster_infoB
Get high-level cluster information: name, API URL, version, channel, and platform type.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries behavioral burden. It indicates a read-only operation and lists output fields, but doesn't address authentication, rate limits, or side effects. Adequate but not thorough.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded with action and resource, no wasted words. Highly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Output schema exists, so return details are covered. However, the description lacks usage context for the optional parameter and does not clarify what happens when no cluster is specified. Adequate but incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the 'cluster' parameter (optional, default empty). It adds no meaning beyond the schema, failing to compensate for the lack of parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and resource 'cluster information', and lists specific fields returned (name, API URL, version, channel, platform type). It distinguishes from sibling tools that focus on more specific cluster aspects (e.g., get_cluster_operator_details).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives. The description only states what it does, not the context or criteria for choosing it over other cluster info tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_cluster_network_configA
Get the cluster-wide Network configuration from config.openshift.io/v1 networks/cluster.
Shows network type, cluster networks, service networks, and machine networks.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must carry the burden of behavioral disclosure. It states what the tool shows (network type, cluster networks, service networks, machine networks), which implies a read-only operation and outlines the output scope. However, it does not mention any authentication requirements, side effects, or return format beyond the listed fields. For a 'get' tool, this is adequate but not comprehensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no fluff. The first sentence states the purpose and resource, the second lists the output contents. Information is front-loaded and every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read-only tool, the description is largely adequate but has a significant gap: the meaning of the 'cluster' parameter is not explained. Since the parameter is optional and the tool is cluster-wide, this ambiguity could mislead an agent. The output schema exists (though not shown) and the description lists key fields, so overall completeness is moderate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has one parameter 'cluster' with no description and 0% schema coverage. The description never mentions the parameter, leaving its purpose entirely ambiguous. An agent cannot know whether 'cluster' refers to a cluster name, a selector, or something else. With no compensation in the description, the agent is left guessing.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states a specific verb ('Get') and a precise resource ('cluster-wide Network configuration from config.openshift.io/v1 networks/cluster'). It also enumerates the exact fields shown (network type, cluster networks, service networks, machine networks). This distinguishes it from any sibling tool; no other tool targets network configuration.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage ('Get the cluster-wide Network configuration') but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives or mention any exclusions. It is clear enough for an agent to infer that this tool is for network configuration, but there is no explicit guidance on when not to use it or which sibling might be more appropriate for related queries.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_cluster_operator_detailsC
Get detailed conditions, versions, and related objects for a single ClusterOperator.

| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior but only mentions the type of details returned. It does not state whether the operation is read-only, requires specific permissions, has performance impacts, or any other behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no unnecessary words. It is well-structured and front-loaded with the core purpose, but could benefit from bullet points or additional context without harming conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the large number of sibling tools, the description is too brief to distinguish its role. It does not explain what a ClusterOperator is, how it relates to get_operator_status or other tools, or what the output schema contains, leaving significant gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so parameters have no descriptions. The tool description does not explain the 'name' or 'cluster' parameters, leaving their purpose and constraints ambiguous.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get detailed conditions, versions, and related objects for a single ClusterOperator.' It uses a specific verb (Get) and resource (ClusterOperator), distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_installed_operators or get_operator_status.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage without help.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_cluster_operatorsB
List all ClusterOperators with Available/Progressing/Degraded/Version columns; degraded operators are listed first.

|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It does add useful behavior: the output column set and the degraded-first ordering. However, it does not mention the meaning of the optional cluster parameter, whether the operation is cluster-scoped, or any permission expectations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single front-loaded sentence that packs in scope, output columns, and ordering. There is no filler or redundant content; every part earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is adequate for a simple read-only list tool, and the output schema can cover return-value details. However, it leaves the cluster parameter semantically unexplained and provides no usage differentiation from closely related operator tools, so it is complete enough only with some gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the 'cluster' parameter at all. The parameter name and default are self-explanatory to some degree, but the description adds no meaning about whether it is required, what values it accepts, or what an empty default signifies.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb and resource ('List all ClusterOperators') and adds concrete output details (Available/Progressing/Degraded/Version columns) plus a distinguishing behavior (degraded operators first). This clearly differentiates it from siblings like get_cluster_operator_details and get_cluster_version.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_cluster_operator_details or get_operator_status. The description implies a status-overview use case, but it does not state exclusions or name better-suited siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_cluster_versionB
Show ClusterVersion history, conditions (Available/Progressing/Degraded), and available updates.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does convey the read-only nature implicitly via 'Show' and lists the returned aspects (history, conditions, updates), but it does not state side effects, permissions, or behavior on missing clusters.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that front-loads the verb and resource, then compactly lists the key output categories. Every part earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
This is a simple read-only tool with one optional parameter and an output schema, so the description covers the core function. However, the absence of parameter semantics and usage guidance leaves meaningful gaps for the agent, especially regarding how to specify the cluster.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention the 'cluster' parameter at all. It does not explain the expected format, default behavior, or whether the parameter is optional despite the schema default of an empty string.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Show') and resource ('ClusterVersion'), and it enumerates the exact content: history, conditions (Available/Progressing/Degraded), and available updates. It clearly identifies what the tool does, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from sibling cluster-info tools like get_cluster_info.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_cluster_info or get_cluster_operator_details. The description only states what the tool shows, leaving the selection criteria entirely to the agent's inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It implies a read-only operation but does not disclose idempotency, side effects, or error conditions. It is minimal but not misleading.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, compact sentence that front-loads the key action and resource. No extraneous words; every word adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple nature of a getter with 3 parameters and an output schema present, the description is adequate for basic understanding but lacks usage guidance and parameter details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description does not explain the parameters beyond the resource name. It mentions 'including GitOps repo and nudges' which hints at output, but not parameter meaning, such as what 'cluster' does or its default behavior.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb (get), resource (Konflux Component), and the specific information returned (GitOps repo and nudges). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like create_component and get_konflux_application.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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. Does not mention prerequisites, when not to use it, or how it compares to similar tools like get_konflux_application.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses an important behavioral trait: values longer than 200 characters are truncated. However, it does not explicitly confirm read-only behavior or describe behavior when the ConfigMap is not found, leaving some gaps. The truncation note is valuable, but the absence of annotations means the disclosure is only partial.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences with zero redundancy. The primary purpose is front-loaded, and the critical truncation detail is stated efficiently. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
This is a low-complexity read tool with an output schema present appears to share the same schema, so return values are documented. The description covers the key non-obvious behavior (truncation) and the operation's intent. Minor omissions like 'not found' behavior do not significantly impair usability.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no parameter-level context beyond what the schema provides. It does not explain what 'name' refers to, how 'cluster' and 'namespace' interact, or how the defaults work semantically. The description fails to compensate for the schema's lack of parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Get ConfigMap keys and values.' This clearly distinguishes the tool from list_configmaps, which would return ConfigMaps themselves, and from create/update/delete_configmap, which modify them. No ambiguity remains about the tool's core purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description clearly defines the tool's context for use: retrieving the keys and values of a specific ConfigMap. It provides no explicit exclusions or alternative routing, but the operation is simple enough that the description's clarity serves as adequate usage guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_data_science_clusterC
Get DataScienceCluster status: component management states.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 states only that it retrieves a status, with no explicit disclosure that this is a read-only operation, no note on required permissions, and no explanation of what 'component management states' means or how status is computed. The behavioral detail added beyond the tool name is minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of eight words with no filler. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource, and the phrase 'component management states' adds a précis of the result. Nothing extraneous is present.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While an output schema exists and therefore return-value documentation is not required, the tool still has an undocumented required (or defaulted) parameter and no usage context among many similar cluster status tools. A one-line description is too thin for an agent to know how to specify the cluster or when this tool applies.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not mention the 'cluster' parameter. The agent only sees a property named 'cluster' with an empty default, leaving it to guess whether this is a name, ID, path, or something else. The description completely fails to compensate for the schema's lack of documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb, 'Get,' and identifies the resource, 'DataScienceCluster status,' with a scoping phrase, 'component management states.' It clearly names the object of the operation, but it does not differentiate from closely related siblings such as get_rhoai_component_status or get_dsci, so it falls short of a 5.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus related getters like get_dsci or get_rhoai_component_status. The description provides no context for selection, prerequisites, or scenarios where this is the preferred tool, leaving the agent to infer its place among many sibling status tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_dsciC
Get DSCInitialization status: phase, conditions, and component enablement.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully convey behavior. It only lists what is retrieved, not side effects, permissions, or constraints (e.g., read-only, required cluster context).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence efficiently conveys the core purpose. Well-structured but could briefly add parameter context without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple getter with one optional parameter and output schema, the description is minimally adequate. It names the fields returned but lacks context on what DSCInitialization is or when to fetch it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description does not mention the 'cluster' parameter at all. Schema coverage is 0%, so no guidance on how or when to use it, even though it has a default.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves DSCInitialization status (phase, conditions, component enablement). The verb 'Get' and resource 'DSCInitialization' are specific, distinguishing it from generic siblings like 'get_resource'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives (e.g., 'get_resource'). No mention of prerequisites, scenarios, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_etcd_statusC
Get ETCD cluster status from operator.openshift.io/v1 etcds/cluster.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral transparency. It only states 'Get ETCD cluster status' without disclosing if the operation is read-only, what the default behavior is when cluster is omitted, potential errors, or 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the key information. However, it sacrifices necessary detail for brevity. Still, it earns a high score for being compact and direct.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the presence of an output schema (not shown), the description lacks essential context such as parameter meaning, usage conditions, and behavioral traits. For a single-parameter tool with no annotations, this minimal description is insufficient for complete understanding.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description provides no explanation for the 'cluster' parameter, despite 0% schema description coverage. It merely mentions the resource path, but does not clarify how the parameter relates to the cluster name or its default value, leaving the agent without guidance on how to use it.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (Get ETCD cluster status) and the specific resource (operator.openshift.io/v1 etcds/cluster). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like get_cluster_info or get_operator_status by targeting ETCD specifically.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_cluster_info or get_operator_status, nor does it mention any prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_gitops_applicationA
Get ArgoCD Application details: sync/health/repo/path/destination + resources table.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | openshift-gitops |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It indicates a read operation ('Get... details') and lists returned fields, which is adequate but does not disclose limitations, permissions, or whether it requires specific cluster access. It is acceptable but not thorough.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that conveys the essential purpose and output without unnecessary words. Every part adds value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has an output schema (not shown) and only one required parameter, the description covers the key returned fields adequately. However, it does not mention any limits, ordering, or error conditions, but for a read tool with a clear scope, it is mostly complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, meaning the description must compensate for parameter meaning. However, the description does not explain the role or constraints of 'name', 'cluster', or 'namespace' beyond their existence in the schema. The default values are present in the schema but not elaborated in the description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
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 get ArgoCD Application details, listing specific data points (sync, health, repo, path, destination, resources table). It uses a specific verb ('get') and resource ('ArgoCD Application'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'sync_gitops_application' or 'get_resource'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 sibling set includes 'sync_gitops_application' and many other get/list tools, but the description does not specify context, prerequisites, or when not to use this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_gitops_application_healthA
Get per-resource health status for an ArgoCD Application.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | openshift-gitops |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden and does convey that this is a read-only health lookup returning per-resource status. However, it does not disclose anything about authorization, what happens when the application is missing, or whether health data is cached/stale.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence with no wasted words; the key information is front-loaded. It is concise without being tautological.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 3 parameters, no annotations, and 0% schema coverage, one sentence is not enough. It omits parameter semantics and fails to guide selection among the many GitOps-related siblings, despite the output schema covering return values.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the three parameters. The defaults hint at namespace, but the meaning of cluster and how name refers to the ArgoCD Application are left to inference.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description names a precise verb ('Get'), a specific resource ('per-resource health status'), and a target ('ArgoCD Application'). This clearly differentiates from siblings like get_gitops_application or refresh_gitops_application.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The purpose implies when to use it—when per-resource health of an ArgoCD Application is needed—but it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools such as get_gitops_application or refresh_gitops_application, nor state when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_infrastructure_configC
Get Infrastructure and Network configuration CRDs from config.openshift.io/v1.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It only states the API endpoint (config.openshift.io/v1) but omits any side effects, authentication needs, or output structure. The existence of an output schema partially mitigates, but the description itself adds minimal behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, which is concise but lacks substantive information. Every word earns its place, but more content is needed for completeness within the compact structure.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's low complexity (one optional parameter) and the presence of an output schema, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain the typical use case, relationship to sibling tools, or any constraints, leaving the agent with limited actionable context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The single parameter 'cluster' has no description in the schema or the tool definition, leaving its purpose and acceptable values unclear. The parameter name hints at a cluster reference but lacks explicit documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves Infrastructure and Network configuration CRDs from config.openshift.io/v1, specifying both the resource type and API source. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'get_resource', though the specific CRD focus provides some distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 such as 'get_resource' or 'get_cluster_info'. The description does not mention prerequisites, limitations, or context for use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_ingress_controllerA
Get an OpenShift IngressController from operator.openshift.io/v1.

|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | default | |
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral burden. The 'Get' verb and resource specification make the read-only nature clear, and parameter defaults are disclosed. However, it does not describe not-found behavior, permission requirements, or any failure modes.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and front-loaded: one precise purpose sentence followed by concise parameter docs. Every line adds value and there is no redundant or filler content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple getter with an output schema present, the description covers the essential input semantics and resource identity. It does not over-explain return values, which the output schema handles. Slight gaps remain around error cases and cluster targeting details, but they are minor for this tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It does define both parameters: name as the IngressController name with default 'default', and cluster as the named cluster target with empty meaning the default cluster. This is adequate for two simple parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies the verb 'Get' and the exact resource: an OpenShift IngressController from operator.openshift.io/v1. This distinguishes it from generic getters like get_resource and from other resource-specific getters in the sibling list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The intended use is implied by the resource and API group, but there is no explicit guidance on when to prefer this tool over alternatives like run_oc_command or get_resource. No exclusions or alternative recommendations are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_konflux_applicationC

| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'including conditions' but fails to describe read-only nature, access requirements, or error behavior (e.g., if resource not found). The description is insufficient for safe invocation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short (one sentence), but it is under-specified rather than concise. It lacks necessary details, making it inefficient for the agent. Every sentence should earn its place, but this single sentence omits key information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations, no parameter descriptions, and an output schema (unseen), the description is incomplete. It does not specify the return structure or additional context needed for correct invocation. The agent lacks essential information to fully utilize this tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the parameters (name, cluster, namespace). Without any parameter context, the agent cannot correctly provide values. The description adds no value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the purpose: to get Konflux Application details including conditions. It uses a specific verb 'Get' and resource 'Konflux Application', distinguishing it from sibling 'list_konflux_applications'. However, it could be more precise by noting the tool requires name and namespace.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_konflux_applications' or 'get_component'. No when-not or prerequisites are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_machineB

| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, authorization requirements, or rate limits. It only mentions the information returned, not side effects or constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded with the purpose, but it could include more context without becoming verbose. It wastes no words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that an output schema exists (though not shown), the description is adequate but not complete. It does not mention required parameters, error cases, or user guidance for using the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the parameters (name, cluster) beyond listing them. It adds no meaning about how to use these parameters or their format.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves detailed Machine info and lists specific fields (phase, nodeRef, providerID, addresses, conditions). It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_node and get_cluster_info.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when detailed machine info is needed but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like get_resource or get_node. No comparison or exclusions provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_machine_config_poolC
Get MachineConfigPool detail: conditions and machine counts.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the disclosure burden. It does reveal the type of information returned ('conditions and machine counts'), which is useful behavioral context. However, it says nothing about side effects, permissions, error behavior, or whether the operation is strictly read-only (though 'get' strongly implies it). The description adds some value but leaves safety and failure behavior undisclosed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no wasted words. It front-loads the primary action ('Get MachineConfigPool detail') and immediately specifies key output attributes. It is appropriately sized for the tool's simplicity, though it could pack more useful context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with two parameters, no parameter descriptions, no annotations, and no usage guidance, the description is thin. The output schema may cover the return shape, but the agent is left to guess the meaning of 'cluster' and the conditions for selecting this tool over siblings like 'list_machine_config_pools' or 'get_machine'. The missing contextual details are significant for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain the parameters, but it does not. The 'name' parameter can be inferred as the pool name from the tool name, but 'cluster' (optional, default '') is completely unexplained. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema's bare type information, failing to compensate for the missing schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('MachineConfigPool detail') and adds concrete output specifics ('conditions and machine counts'), making it clear this is a read operation for a single pool's detail. It implicitly separates itself from the sibling 'list_machine_config_pools' by emphasizing 'detail', though it does not explicitly name the sibling or contrast the two.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, when to prefer 'get_machine_config_pool' over 'list_machine_config_pools', or any exclusions. Usage is only implied by the verb 'Get', which is weak guidance for an agent deciding among many similar resource tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_machine_setB
Describe a MachineSet showing all spec and status details.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. 'Showing all spec and status details' adds useful information about output scope and implies a read-only operation, but it does not disclose behavior around missing resources, cluster context, or error cases.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single tight sentence with no filler or redundancy. It front-loads the action and resource, and the output scope detail earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
This is a simple getter with an output schema, so return values need not be enumerated. However, the description omits usage context and parameter semantics, leaving the optional cluster field and when to invoke this tool vs similar tools underspecified. It is minimally viable but not complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain either parameter. The name parameter is self-evident, but the optional cluster parameter with a default value is left ambiguous, and the description adds no meaning beyond the raw parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a clear verb ('Describe') and specific resource ('a MachineSet'), and further clarifies that it returns all spec and status details. It is easily distinguishable from sibling list/scale tools, though it does not explicitly contrast with get_machine.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as list_machine_sets or get_machine. The intended use is only implied by the verb and resource name, with no exclusions, prerequisites, or alternative routing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_managed_clusterB
Get detailed ManagedCluster info: capacity, conditions, labels.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full behavioral disclosure burden. It names returned data categories but says nothing about authentication requirements, failure behavior if the cluster does not exist, or whether the operation is read-only. It adds little beyond what the tool name and output schema already imply.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It immediately states the action, target, and key return categories, making it easy to scan.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
An output schema exists, so return value details are partially covered elsewhere, but the required and optional parameters are not documented anywhere. With no annotations and no usage guidance, the description is too thin to fully support correct invocation, especially for the optional 'cluster' parameter.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not clarify either parameter. 'name' is inferable as the cluster name, but the optional 'cluster' parameter's role and default behavior are completely unexplained, leaving an agent to guess its purpose.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Get'), names the exact resource ('ManagedCluster'), and lists the kind of information returned ('capacity, conditions, labels'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_managed_clusters, which would list rather than fetch one cluster's details.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies it should be used when detailed information about a single ManagedCluster is needed, but it never explicitly says when to prefer list_managed_clusters first or when this tool should not be used. The usage context is inferable but not directly stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_monitoring_configB
Read the cluster-monitoring-config ConfigMap from the openshift-monitoring namespace.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, but the verb 'Read' clearly signals a non-mutating operation and identifies the exact target. It does not mention permissions or failure modes, but for a simple read with an output schema this is adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence that immediately states the verb and object with no filler. Every word earns its place and the core information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, but the only parameter is left completely unexplained and there is no comparison to the sibling get_configmap. An agent has insufficient information to invoke it correctly without guessing the meaning of the cluster parameter.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The sole parameter 'cluster' is completely undocumented in both schema and description (0% schema coverage). The description adds no meaning about what cluster values are valid, how the default is used, or whether cluster is required.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb ('Read'), exact resource ('cluster-monitoring-config ConfigMap'), and namespace ('openshift-monitoring'). The named resource clearly distinguishes it from the generic sibling get_configmap.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives, no exclusions, and no mention of how this differs from get_configmap. The description is purely declarative with no usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_namespace_resource_quotaC
List ResourceQuotas and LimitRanges in a namespace.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the basic action without disclosing any behavioral traits like read-only nature, permission requirements, or pagination behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise (one sentence), but not front-loaded with critical information. It is appropriately sized for a simple list tool, but lacks structure that could improve clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present, return values need not be explained. However, the description omits details like error scenarios, pagination, or prerequisites. Adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It only implies that 'namespace' scopes the listing, but does not explain the optional 'cluster' parameter. Fails to compensate for lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the specific resources 'ResourceQuotas and LimitRanges', and scopes it to a namespace. However, it does not differentiate from siblings like 'get_resource' which might also list resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives (e.g., get_resource). No mention of prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_nodeA
Get capacity, allocatable resources, conditions, and taints for a node.

| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description does not disclose side effects, permissions, or safety profile. For a read-only tool, adequate but not comprehensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, efficient and to the point. No unnecessary words, but could be slightly more structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Describes main output fields but lacks parameter guidance and usage context. Output schema exists but description alone is not fully self-contained.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and description does not clarify parameter meaning. 'name' is obvious but 'cluster' (optional default empty) is unexplained, potentially confusing without context.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description specifies verb 'get' and resource 'node', and lists specific aspects: capacity, allocatable resources, conditions, taints. Clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like 'list_nodes' which lists nodes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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. Implicitly for retrieving details of a specific node, but alternatives like 'list_nodes' are not mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_oauth_configC
Get the cluster OAuth configuration and identity providers from config.openshift.io/v1.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral traits. It only states the tool 'gets' configuration, which implies a read operation, but provides no details on side effects, required permissions, or response size. No additional behavioral context is offered beyond what is obvious from the tool name.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no extraneous words. It is front-loaded with the action and object. However, its brevity sacrifices completeness, which prevents a higher score.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the output schema exists (so return values are covered) and the tool is simple, the description provides the essential purpose. However, the lack of parameter documentation and usage guidance leaves gaps. It is minimally adequate but not thorough.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter (cluster) with 0% description coverage, and the description does not mention it at all. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, leaving the agent without guidance on how to use the parameter or its effect on the result.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description specifies the exact resource (cluster OAuth configuration and identity providers) and the API version (config.openshift.io/v1), making it clear what the tool retrieves. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_infrastructure_config or get_cluster_info by focusing specifically on OAuth configuration.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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. There is no mention of prerequisites, filters, or context in which this tool should be preferred over similar getter tools. The agent is left to infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_operator_statusB
Get ClusterServiceVersion status: phase, conditions, and owned CRDs. If namespace is empty, all namespaces are searched for a CSV whose name matches.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. However, it only mentions the data returned (phase, conditions, owned CRDs) without mentioning side effects, required permissions, error cases, or any destructive potential. The description lacks transparency about mutation or safety.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences, front-loading the main purpose and then adding context about namespace behavior. It could be slightly more efficient, but overall it is well-structured and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has an output schema, which reduces the need to describe return values. However, the description omits prerequisites (e.g., cluster context required) and potential error conditions. Given the complexity of operator status, the description is adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains the namespace parameter's behavior when empty, but does not clarify the 'cluster' parameter or the 'name' parameter beyond its basic role. Two out of three parameters lack meaningful semantic guidance beyond their names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states that the tool retrieves ClusterServiceVersion status including phase, conditions, and owned CRDs. This is a specific verb-resource combination that distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_installed_operators or get_cluster_operator_details.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides guidance for the namespace parameter (empty means all namespaces), but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites or scenarios where it should not be used.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_pipelineB
Get Tekton Pipeline details: tasks with dependencies, params, and workspaces.

| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It does add value by specifying the returned detail categories, and 'Get' implies a read-only operation. However, it does not state behavior for missing pipelines, permission requirements, or whether any side effects occur.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single efficient sentence that front-loads the verb and resource, then lists the included details without any wasted words. Every phrase contributes to understanding the tool's purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is adequate for a simple getter, especially with an output schema available to explain return values. However, it omits usage context, alternative routing, and parameter clarification, leaving the agent to rely on schema defaults and sibling names for full context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the name, cluster, or namespace parameters. While the parameter names and defaults are fairly self-explanatory, the description adds no parameter-specific meaning and fails to compensate for low coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Get'), a specific resource ('Tekton Pipeline'), and enumerates the exact detail content (tasks with dependencies, params, and workspaces). This clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like get_pipeline_run and list_pipelines.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 such as get_pipeline_run or list_pipelines. There are no stated exclusions or alternative routing, so an agent must infer the intended scope from the resource name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_pipeline_runC

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It implies a read operation ('Get') but does not state idempotency, safety, error handling, or 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no redundancy. It front-loads the action and resource. However, it may be too brief to be fully informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the three parameters and no schema descriptions, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the parameters or prerequisites, though it mentions some output details (helped by output schema).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds no meaning to the three parameters (name, cluster, namespace). With 0% schema coverage, the description should compensate but fails to explain what each parameter represents.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool verb 'Get', the resource 'Tekton PipelineRun', and the specific details returned (status, duration, child task run references). It distinguishes from siblings like cancel_pipeline_run and list_task_runs.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives (e.g., list_task_runs, get_resource). No explicit conditions or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_placement_decisionsA
List PlacementDecisions for a Placement showing selected clusters.

| namespace | Yes | ||
| placement_name | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It communicates a read-only list operation and the key output behavior ('showing selected clusters'), but it does not disclose behavior around the optional cluster filter, empty results, or failure cases. Core behavior is transparent, but depth is limited.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence that front-loads the verb, resource, and scope. There is no redundant wording, and every phrase adds meaning.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The output schema covers return-value structure, so that is not a gap. However, the description leaves the optional cluster parameter's role ambiguous and does not mention namespace as a lookup context, which an agent needs to call the tool correctly with confidence.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the schema properties only provide titles. The description maps placement_name via 'for a Placement' and hints at cluster via 'selected clusters', but it never explains the namespace parameter or whether the cluster parameter filters input or describes output. It only partially compensates for the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Uses a specific verb ('List') and a specific resource ('PlacementDecisions') with clear scope ('for a Placement') and output focus ('showing selected clusters'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling list_placements, which lists the placements themselves.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the use case: call this when you need a placement's selected clusters. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over list_placements or other placement-related tools, nor does it give any exclusions or alternative routing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_podA
Show detailed information for a pod: phase, node, IP, QoS class, container states, and conditions.

| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations, so description carries burden. Lists output fields but doesn't disclose side effects (none assumed), permissions, or error conditions. However, for a read-only get operation, the description is adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short, focused sentences: first line states purpose, then bullet list for arguments. No fluff, front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple get tool with output schema, the description is complete: covers purpose, parameters, and return fields. No missing context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has no descriptions (0% coverage). Description compensates with clear explanations for each parameter (name, namespace with default, cluster with default), adding meaning beyond type and default.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Show detailed information for a pod' and lists specific fields (phase, node, IP, QoS class, container states, conditions), distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_pods or get_resource.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implied usage: use to get details of a single pod. No explicit guidance on when to use vs. alternatives (e.g., list_pods for listing, get_resource for generic resources).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_pod_logsA
Fetch logs from a pod container.
Args: name: Pod name. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). container: Container name (empty = first/only container). previous: Return logs from the previous container instance. tail_lines: Number of lines from the end (default 100, 0 = unlimited). since_seconds: Only return logs newer than this many seconds. cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It provides concrete semantics for parameters – container empty resolves to first/only container, previous reads the prior instance, tail_lines 0 means unlimited, and since_seconds filters by age. It does not explicitly state safety or side-effect profile, but 'Fetch' clearly indicates a read operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a compact purpose sentence followed by a focused Args list. Each parameter line adds unique information not present in the schema titles, and there is no filler or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has a moderate parameter count, an output schema exists, and the description covers parameter semantics and defaults. An agent has all necessary parameter context to invoke the tool correctly; the only missing element is sibling comparison, which belongs under usage guidelines rather than this dimension.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, so the description must define each parameter. It does so comprehensively: every one of the 7 parameters has an inline explanation covering defaults and edge cases (e.g., '0 = unlimited', 'empty = first/only container'), making the schema's opaque defaults meaningful.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Fetch logs from a pod container' – a specific verb and resource. This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like get_build_logs, describe_pod, and exec_in_pod, and the parameter list confirms it targets pod logs with filtering options.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit when-to-use or alternative guidance appears in the description. The intended use is implied by the purpose and parameter names, but there are no exclusions or comparisons with close siblings such as get_build_logs or list_events, leaving the agent to infer when this tool should be preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_policy_complianceC
Show per-cluster compliance status for an ACM Policy.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. 'Show' implies a read-only status lookup, but the description does not explicitly state that no mutation occurs, what happens when a policy is not found, or any access/rate-limit considerations. It is adequate for a simple get-like operation but leaves some behavior implicit.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. However, it is so terse that it omits useful parameter and usage details, making it concise but not fully well-rounded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The output schema exists and likely covers return values, but the description alone does not provide enough context for correct invocation. It leaves the optional cluster parameter's behavior unexplained and gives no guidance on how this tool relates to sibling compliance or policy tools, making it incomplete for the tool's complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not explain name, namespace, or cluster beyond the phrase 'per-cluster', which only hints at the cluster parameter's role. It does not specify how the optional cluster field filters results or what the default behavior is, so the description fails to compensate for the schema's lack of parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Show') and a specific resource ('per-cluster compliance status for an ACM Policy'), which clearly communicates the tool's purpose. It is distinct from broad siblings like list_policies, though it does not explicitly name or contrast any sibling.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus siblings such as list_policies or get_managed_cluster. It does not mention prerequisites, whether cluster is optional, or any exclusions, so the agent must infer usage from the namespace and parameter names alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_pvC
Get detailed PersistentVolume info including CSI, NFS, HostPath, or EBS source.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden but only states that it 'gets detailed info.' It does not disclose read-only nature, permissions, 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, but it lacks substantive content. Conciseness alone is not valuable when key information is omitted.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description fails to explain the required 'name' parameter, optional 'cluster', or any behavioral context. It is incomplete for a tool with simple but documented parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no parameter details. The meaning of 'name' and 'cluster' is left entirely to the schema titles, which are insufficient.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Get') and resource ('PersistentVolume info') and lists distinct source types (CSI, NFS, etc.), clearly distinguishing from listing tools like 'list_pvs'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (e.g., 'list_pvs' for listing all PVs). The description does not mention prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_pvcB
Get detailed PersistentVolumeClaim info including conditions.

| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |

| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided; the description does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, any required permissions, or side effects. 'Get' implies read, but not explicitly stated.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with no wasted words. Directly states the tool's purpose and what it returns.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool is a simple retrieval operation and an output schema is present, the description is adequate. It mentions 'conditions' which adds value over a generic 'get PVC'.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the meaning or usage of the three parameters (name, cluster, namespace). The agent must infer from naming conventions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Get' and resource 'PersistentVolumeClaim info including conditions', clearly distinguishing from sibling tools like list_pvcs (which lists PVCs) and get_pv (which gets PVs).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives like list_pvcs or get_pod. The description only states what it does without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_resourceB
Get any resource in YAML, JSON, or wide format. Use output='describe' for oc describe.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| output | No | yaml | |
| cluster | No | ||

| resource_type | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description should disclose behavioral traits. It mentions output formats but fails to state that the operation is read-only, does not describe authentication or rate limits, and omits what happens if the resource is not found. This is insufficient for a safe agent invocation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loading the core purpose and format options. Every word serves a purpose; there is no wasted text. It efficiently communicates essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given five parameters and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not describe the output schema (even though one exists), fails to explain parameter dependencies (e.g., namespace vs. cluster-scoped resources), and lacks any error handling notes. The agent would need to guess many details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only adds meaning for the 'output' parameter (via the tip) and ignores the other four parameters (name, resource_type, cluster, namespace). This leaves the agent without guidance on required inputs beyond their names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Get' and identifies the resource as 'any resource', clearly stating the tool's purpose. It also specifies output formats (YAML, JSON, wide) and provides a tip for 'oc describe', making the function distinct from sibling tools that target specific resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description offers a usage tip for format selection ('Use output="describe" for oc describe'), but does not specify when to use this general getter over dedicated sibling tools (e.g., get_pod, get_node). There's no mention of conditional usage or alternatives, leaving the agent to infer context from sibling names.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_rhoai_component_statusB
Check RHOAI/OpenShift AI overall health: pods in RHOAI namespaces, DSC/DSCI status, CRD presence.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations present, the description carries the burden of explaining behavior. It clearly discloses what resources are inspected (pods, DSC/DSCI, CRDs) and 'Check' implies a read-only operation, but it does not explicitly state that the tool has no side effects, does not require special permissions, or how it aggregates the health status. This is adequate but not fully transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is one concise sentence with the main purpose front-loaded and a colon-delimited list of the health dimensions. Every word contributes meaning and there is no filler or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the main subject matter and an output schema is present, so return values do not need explanation. However, the cluster parameter is completely undocumented, and the tool's relationship to narrower RHOAI-related sibling tools is not addressed. For a moderately complex health-check tool, this is a visible gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention the 'cluster' parameter at all. The input schema only provides a default empty string, so the agent is left without any explanation of whether cluster is required, what values are valid, or how the default is interpreted. The description adds zero value here.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Check') and identifies a clear resource scope ('RHOAI/OpenShift AI overall health'), then enumerates concrete elements: pods in RHOAI namespaces, DSC/DSCI status, and CRD presence. This distinguishes it from narrower siblings like get_dsci, list_pods, and list_crds by framing it as an aggregate health check.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'overall health' implies this tool is for a high-level RHOAI health assessment, but the description never explicitly says when to use it versus alternatives like get_dsci or get_data_science_cluster. There is no when-not-to-use guidance or any mention of sibling tools, so the usage context is only implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_routeA
Get detailed information for an OpenShift Route including admitted status and TLS config.
Args: name: Route name. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).

| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Implies read-only operation but does not explicitly state it. No annotations provided, so description should disclose more about permissions, errors, 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences plus Args section, no wasted words, front-loaded with purpose, highly concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers purpose, parameters, and key details; output schema explains return values. Lacks usage guidelines but adequate for the complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, and description adds meaningful explanations for all three parameters (name, namespace, cluster), compensating for lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states verb 'Get', resource 'OpenShift Route', and specifics 'admitted status and TLS config', distinguishing it from sibling list_routes and delete_route.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implicitly indicates use for single route details, but does not explicitly mention alternatives like list_routes or when not to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_sccA
Get full SCC detail: volumes, capabilities, allowedCapabilities, users, and groups.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden of signaling behavior. 'Get' reasonably indicates a read-only operation, and the listed fields clarify what is retrieved. However, it does not mention permission requirements, behavior when the SCC does not exist, or any cluster-related caveats.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single concise sentence that front-loads the operation and enumerates the key returned fields. Every word contributes value, with no repetition of the tool name or schema.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a two-parameter getter with an output schema, the description covers the core purpose and return content. It falls short on parameter semantics and explicit alternative routing, but these are modest gaps given the simple read-only nature of the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate by explaining the parameters. It does not mention the 'name' identifier or the 'cluster' parameter at all, leaving the optional cluster field and its default behavior undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb-resource pair ('Get full SCC detail') and enumerates the exact fields returned (volumes, capabilities, allowedCapabilities, users, groups). It clearly distinguishes this getter from list_sccs and create_scc siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies this is the tool to use when full detail on a specific SCC is needed, as opposed to enumerating SCCs with list_sccs. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives, but the context is clear enough for a retrieval tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_secret_keysA
List the key names of a Secret. Values are never shown for security.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the burden. It discloses that values are never shown for security, which is important. However, it does not explicitly state that the tool is read-only, nor does it mention any required permissions or other behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two concise sentences, front-loading the purpose and adding a security note. Every word serves a purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the existence of an output schema and no nested objects, the description is adequate but incomplete. It lacks parameter explanations and usage context, which would be expected for a tool with three parameters and 0% schema coverage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. The description does not describe the purpose of 'name', 'cluster', or 'namespace' parameters, leaving the agent to infer from the schema alone. This is insufficient.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists key names of a Secret, using a specific verb ('list') and resource ('key names of a Secret'). It distinguishes from sibling 'list_secrets' by focusing on keys within a single secret, not all secrets.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does 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 is provided. The context with sibling 'list_secrets' implies use this to get keys of a specific secret, but the description does not directly state alternatives or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_serviceB
Show detailed info for a Service including selector, ports, and current Endpoints.
Args: name: Service name. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description fills the burden of behavioral disclosure. It only mentions the tool 'shows' info, but does not clarify whether it performs a read-only operation, if it requires specific permissions, or what the output format is. It lacks context on side effects or constraints.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short and front-loaded with the purpose, followed by a straightforward Args list. It is concise but lacks examples or additional context that could be useful, but it is not overly verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given it has an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values, but it is still incomplete for a getter tool with no annotations. It does not state whether the tool is read-only, how it handles missing services, or any prerequisites, but the output schema may cover some of that.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, but the description briefly explains each parameter: name, namespace, and cluster are self-explanatory with defaults. The description adds minimal value beyond the schema, but the parameter meanings are clear from their names and the provided examples (e.g., "default").
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool shows detailed info for a Service, including specific fields like selector, ports, and Endpoints. It distinguishes it from list_services by focusing on detailed info for a single Service, though it doesn't explicitly name the sibling.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies it is for getting details of a single service, contrasting with listing services, but does not explicitly state when to use this over list_services or other getter tools. It provides no explicit alternatives or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_smcp_statusA
Get ServiceMeshControlPlane status: conditions and component readiness breakdown.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It communicates that the tool returns conditions and a readiness breakdown, and 'Get' implies a read-only inspection, but it does not mention side effects, authorization requirements, or behavior when the resource is missing or components are unready.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word contributes to identifying the action, resource, and expected output facets.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the core return content and the schema supplies the required params, while an output schema exists to carry return-value details. However, with no annotations, no mention of the optional cluster parameter, and no guidance on selecting this getter over list_service_mesh_control_planes, some context is still missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description adds no meaning to the parameters name, namespace, or cluster. The resource name makes name and namespace somewhat self-evident, but cluster remains ambiguous despite having a default empty string, and no parameter-level guidance is provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description names the exact resource (ServiceMeshControlPlane) and the specific operation scope (status), and it enumerates concrete output facets: conditions and component readiness breakdown. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling list_service_mesh_control_planes, which lists control planes rather than inspecting one resource's status.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no alternative tool is mentioned. The intended use is implied by 'Get ... status', but an agent must infer from the tool name and sibling list_service_mesh_control_planes when to choose this over listing or other getters.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_snapshot_statusC
Get Snapshot with integration test results and component images.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It does not state whether the operation is read-only, require specific permissions, or what happens if the snapshot does not exist. The description only hints at the return content but lacks depth.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no unnecessary words. It efficiently conveys the core functionality without fluff.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that an output schema exists, the description does not need to detail return values. However, it fails to provide essential context about the required parameters (name, namespace) and the meaning of cluster. It also does not specify error conditions or prerequisites, making it incomplete for a tool with 3 undocumented parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% documentation coverage, and the description does not clarify any of the three parameters. 'name' and 'namespace' are obvious only by their names, and 'cluster' with a default of '' is ambiguous. The description adds no value beyond the schema field names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'Snapshot', and specifies what is included ('integration test results and component images'). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like 'list_snapshots' which lists snapshots, and 'get_component' which deals with a different resource.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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. There is no mention of when not to use it, or any contrast with similar tools such as 'list_snapshots' for listing or 'get_component' for individual components.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_userA

| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It accurately describes the tool as a read operation retrieving user details, with no side effects. While it lacks details on authentication or rate limits, the simplicity of the operation makes it adequately transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the verb and resource, providing all necessary information without unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read operation with an output schema, the description adequately covers the returned fields. However, it could be more complete by addressing the 'cluster' parameter and any prerequisites (e.g., user existence).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It implicitly explains the 'name' parameter (identifies the user) but does not mention the 'cluster' parameter or its default behavior. This leaves a significant gap in understanding how the tool is invoked.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'user', and specifies the details returned (full name, identities, group memberships). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_users (which lists users) and get_resource (generic).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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. The context implies it is for retrieving details of a specific user, while list_users lists all users, but no direct when-to-use or when-not-to-use instructions are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_user_accessB
List all actions a user can perform using 'oc auth can-i --list --as='. Specify namespace to scope the check; omit for cluster-wide actions.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavioral traits. It mentions the command used but does not explicitly state that this is a read-only operation, nor does it describe any prerequisites, permission requirements, or failure modes. The 'list' wording implies non-mutation, but the description lacks a clear statement of side effects 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no wasted words. The primary purpose and command are front-loaded, and the second sentence immediately gives actionable parameter guidance. It is both concise and well-structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has three parameters and no annotations, but an output schema exists, so return values are covered. The description handles username and namespace but leaves cluster's role ambiguous. An agent could still call the tool correctly with default cluster, but the missing semantic context makes the description only partially complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains the namespace parameter's meaning and effects, and it implies the username parameter via the --as=<username> command. However, the cluster parameter is left completely unexplained, leaving a gap in parameter understanding.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List all actions a user can perform') and the resource (the user's permissions), and it references the exact underlying command ('oc auth can-i --list --as=<username>'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_user or list_users, which focus on user information rather than access rights.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides parameter-level guidance ('Specify namespace to scope the check; omit for cluster-wide actions') but does not explain when to use this tool versus alternatives such as list_cluster_roles or list_role_bindings. There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use context, leaving an agent to infer the tool's niche from its name and purpose.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It implies a read operation but does not disclose behavioral traits such as idempotency, side effects, authentication requirements, or performance considerations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with a colon-separated list, efficient with no redundant words. However, it could be structured with bullet points for better readability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that an output schema exists, the description does not need to explain return values. It covers key aspects of the VM but misses details like prerequisites (e.g., VM must exist) or error conditions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no descriptions (0% coverage), and the description adds no explanation of the parameters (name, cluster, namespace), leaving their meaning and usage ambiguous.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Get detailed VM info' and lists specific categories (running state, resources, interfaces, disks, conditions), which distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_virtual_machines (which lists VMs) and start/stop/restart actions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for retrieving detailed information about a single VM but does not explicitly state when to use it instead of alternatives like list_virtual_machines, nor does it mention prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_vpa_recommendationB
Show VPA recommendations per container: lowerBound/target/upperBound/uncappedTarget.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. 'Show' implies a read-only operation and the field list discloses what the agent can expect in the result. However, it does not address auth requirements or any other behavioral traits, leaving the disclosure minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single front-loaded sentence with zero filler. Every element ('per container', the four field names) adds meaningful information, which is exactly what conciseness should look like.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
An output schema exists, so return values are already covered and need no description. The main gaps are the ambiguous 'name' parameter and the absence of any pointer distinguishing this from list_vpas. Adequate for a simple read tool, but with clear holes.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate, but it does not explain name, cluster, or namespace at all. 'name' is ambiguous — it could mean the VPA name or container name — and given the tool returns 'per container' results, this ambiguity is material.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Show') and resource ('VPA recommendations per container') and names the four output fields, making the tool's function immediately obvious. It implicitly distinguishes itself from the sibling list_vpas, though it never names that alternative explicitly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to call this tool versus list_vpas or other autoscaling tools. With a sibling named list_vpas present, the description leaves the selection decision to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_alerting_rulesB
List PrometheusRules (monitoring.coreos.com/v1) with rule group count.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only identifies the resource type and adds 'with rule group count'. It does not disclose if it is read-only, requires specific permissions, handles pagination, or any other behavioral traits. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries the full burden but falls short.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the core purpose. Every word adds value; no unnecessary information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description omits basic usage context like optional filtering by cluster/namespace. It is minimally adequate for a simple list tool but lacks completeness in explaining the parameters and return behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the description provides no information about the two optional parameters (cluster, namespace). Their purpose (likely filtering) is not described, leaving the agent to guess their semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists PrometheusRules (a specific Kubernetes CRD) and includes a unique detail: rule group count. This distinguishes it from siblings like list_alerts (active alerts) and get_alert_details (single alert).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives. Siblings like list_alerts exist for active alerts, but the description does not clarify when to choose this tool over them. No exclusions or prerequisites are mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_alertsB
List active alerts from Alertmanager, optionally filtered by severity and/or state. severity: critical | warning | info state: active | suppressed | unprocessed
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| state | No | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| severity | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It states 'List active alerts' (a read operation) and mentions filter options, but does not disclose details like pagination, ordering, what 'active' means, or any potential side effects. This is minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, the first conveying the main purpose and the second listing allowed values. It is efficient, front-loaded, and has no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While an output schema exists (so return values are covered), the description lacks context about what 'active' entails, whether filters are exact or partial, and does not mention the cluster parameter. For a tool with three parameters and no annotations, this is insufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description adds meaning for two of three parameters (severity and state) by listing possible values, which is helpful given the schema has 0% description coverage. However, the cluster parameter is not mentioned, so the description is incomplete.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists active alerts from Alertmanager with optional filters by severity and state. The verb 'list' and resource 'active alerts' are specific and distinct from sibling tools like get_alert_details or list_alerting_rules.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates optional filtering but does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like get_alert_details for specific alerts. It implies usage for listing alerts but lacks explicit when-not or alternative recommendations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_app_projectsB
List ArgoCD AppProjects with source repos, destinations, and cluster resource access.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | openshift-gitops |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 does convey a read-only listing behavior and the nature of the returned data, but it adds no context about scope, authentication needs, pagination, or how the cluster/namespace parameters affect the operation. For a low-risk read tool this is adequate but thin.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence that front-loads the verb and resource and packs the key return fields compactly. Every word earns its place with no filler or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, has zero required parameters, and an output schema exists, so return-value documentation is not the description's job. However, parameter semantics and usage routing among the many GitOps siblings remain unexplained, leaving an agent to guess. Adequate for a trivial list call, but not complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description never mentions the cluster or namespace parameters, so it does not compensate for the schema gap. The parameter names and the 'openshift-gitops' default hint at their purpose, but the description adds no meaning beyond what the schema fields literally show.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('List') and names the exact resource ('ArgoCD AppProjects') plus the returned data categories (source repos, destinations, cluster resource access). The resource name distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_gitops_applications and list_gitops_clusters, so an agent can disambiguate without opening schemas.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus the many ArgoCD/GitOps siblings (list_gitops_applications, list_gitops_clusters) or generic alternatives like run_oc_command. No conditions, exclusions, or prerequisites are stated, leaving the agent to infer usage solely from the tool name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_build_configsC
List BuildConfigs with strategy type, source, last version, and age.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It implies a read-only operation by using 'List' and states the fields returned, but it does not disclose behavior regarding the cluster and namespace parameters, pagination, or error handling. It is minimally transparent but not misleading.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence that front-loads the action and resource. It is concise and to the point, with no unnecessary words, making it easy to parse quickly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is too minimal for a tool with two parameters and no annotation coverage. It does not explain how the parameters influence results, and while an output schema exists, the description does not clarify the scope or any filtering behavior. The tool is simple but the description leaves important context unstated.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention the cluster or namespace parameters at all. An agent cannot infer how these affect the listing from the description alone. The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'BuildConfigs', and specifies the fields returned (strategy type, source, last version, age). It is specific but does not differentiate from sibling tools like list_builds or get_build_config, which could also be relevant for build-related queries.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention any conditions, prerequisites, or when not to use it. The description is purely descriptive of the action and provides no context for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_buildsC
List Builds with phase, duration, reason, and age.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | ||
| label_selector | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It indicates a read-only list operation and names output fields, which is useful. However, it does not disclose defaults, whether listing spans all namespaces or only the current one, pagination behavior, or any side effects. The word 'List' implies safety, but richer behavioral context is absent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, focused sentence that front-loads the action and key return fields. Every word earns its place and there is no redundant or filler content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with three optional parameters, an output schema, and a sibling list of adjacent build operations, this description is too thin. It does not explain parameter semantics, scoping defaults, when to prefer this tool over list_build_configs, or how cluster/namespace interact. An agent would likely need to inspect schemas and infer usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate by explaining the meaning or use of cluster, namespace, and label_selector. It does not mention any of these parameters at all. Even though parameter names are standard Kubernetes concepts, the description adds zero semantic value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a precise verb-resource pair ('List Builds') and specifies the fields returned (phase, duration, reason, age). It is clear about what the tool does, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the sibling 'list_build_configs' or other build-related tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given for when to use this tool versus alternatives such as list_build_configs, get_build, or get_build_logs. There is no mention of when listing builds is appropriate, how the optional cluster/namespace/label_selector parameters affect scope, or any exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_catalog_sourcesC

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure, but it only states a listing operation. It does not mention whether it is read-only, requires permissions, or any side effects. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but not sufficiently informative. It front-loads the action but omits necessary details, making it adequate but not excellent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that output schema exists, the description partially covers return values, but it fails to provide parameter semantics, behavioral traits, or usage context. For a simple list tool with many siblings, this is incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the meaning or usage of the two parameters (cluster and namespace). It only mentions return fields, so it adds no value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (list) and the resource (CatalogSources), and specifies the fields returned (display name, type, publisher, connection state). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_data_volumes or list_pods.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs alternatives. Among many sibling list tools, the description lacks any contextual cues or prerequisites, making it difficult for an AI agent to choose correctly.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose behaviors such as whether the operation is read-only, if it requires special permissions, or any side effects. Only a basic action is stated.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but lacks explanatory depth. It could be expanded with important context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, the description omits mention of return values. The tool is simple but the description provides minimal context, leaving the agent to infer behavior from the schema alone.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has one parameter 'cluster' with 0% description coverage. The description only implies a relationship to filtering ('with pool and resolved cluster') but does not clarify parameter semantics or usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists ACM ClusterClaims and indicates the return fields ('pool and resolved cluster'). It is specific and distinguishes from siblings as no other tool lists cluster claims.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives. Does not mention any prerequisites, filtering, or context for use.

|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description implies a read-only operation ('Show'), but with no annotations, it should explicitly state that no modifications are made. It does not disclose error scenarios (e.g., no clusters configured). A simple 'Read-only' label would improve transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but it misses important details about parameters and output. It is not overly long, but it sacrifices completeness for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has a single optional parameter and an output schema, the description should explain both. It fails to describe the parameter and provides no hint about what the output contains (e.g., lists of cluster names, context names, etc.).
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one optional parameter 'cluster' with a default empty string, but the description does not explain its purpose (likely to filter by cluster name). Since schema description coverage is 0%, the description should provide semantics; it does not.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the tool's purpose: showing configured MCP clusters and active oc kubeconfig contexts. It uses a specific verb ('Show') and resource, and is distinct from siblings like list_managed_clusters and get_cluster_info by focusing on both clusters and local contexts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs. alternatives (e.g., list_managed_clusters, get_cluster_info). It also doesn't mention prerequisites like being logged into oc or having kubeconfig files. The user must infer usage from the tool name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description implies a read-only operation by using 'List', but does not explicitly state it is non-destructive. With no annotations, the description could be more explicit about behavior, but the verb 'List' is reasonably clear.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no unnecessary words. However, it could be improved by front-loading the purpose and adding parameter details in a structured way.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the output schema exists and the description mentions the output contents, it fails to describe the optional filtering parameters (cluster, label_selector) and does not provide usage context. Given the tool's simplicity, this is incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the description does not mention either parameter (cluster, label_selector). It adds no semantic value beyond the schema itself, which already provides names and types.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists ClusterRoleBindings and mentions they include role reference and bound subjects. This distinguishes it from siblings like list_cluster_roles which list Role definitions, not bindings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs alternatives. There is no mention of prerequisites or comparisons with sibling tools.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries full burden. It only states the output includes rule counts, but fails to disclose that this is a read-only operation, any authentication requirements, or potential side effects. No mention of pagination or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no redundant words. It efficiently communicates the core purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with an output schema (not shown), the description provides minimal but adequate purpose. However, it lacks parameter details and behavioral context, which are necessary given no annotations. The description is incomplete for safe agent use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention any parameters. The two optional parameters (cluster, label_selector) are completely undocumented, leaving the agent uninformed about how to filter results.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists ClusterRoles and includes the number of policy rules, which is a specific verb+resource+additional detail. It distinguishes from siblings like 'list_roles' (namespace-scoped) and 'list_cluster_role_bindings'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (e.g., list_roles, list_custom_resources). There are no prerequisites, exclusions, or context about filtering capabilities.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The verb 'List' implies a read-only operation, but the description does not explicitly state non-destructiveness, idempotency, or any other behavioral traits. With no annotations, the agent must infer safety from the verb alone.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at one sentence, but it is under-specified. It earns its place by stating the purpose, but lacks necessary detail, making it merely adequate.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of ACM resources and the presence of an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what a ClusterSet is, how it relates to clusters, or when to use this tool over siblings.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage for the sole parameter 'cluster', and the tool description fails to explain its purpose or expected values. This leaves the agent uninformed about a key input.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'List' and the resource 'ACM ManagedClusterSets', which is specific and distinguishable from sibling tools like list_managed_clusters. However, it does not explain what a ManagedClusterSet is, slightly reducing clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, such as list_managed_clusters or list_cluster_claims. The description lacks any context about use cases or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_component_pipeline_runsB
List Tekton PipelineRuns associated with Konflux components.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes | ||
| component_name | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry behavioral disclosure. 'List' clearly implies a read-only operation, which is useful, and the Konflux-component scoping adds context. However, it does not disclose filtering semantics, whether results span namespaces, or any permissions/limitations, so transparency is adequate but not thorough.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It states the action, resource, and scope efficiently, earning its place without unnecessary detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although an output schema exists and the purpose is simple, the description is incomplete for correct invocation. It does not explain how cluster, namespace, and component_name interact, why namespace is required, or what the default values imply. With no annotations and 0% schema coverage, more contextual guidance is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description mentions none of the three parameters (namespace, cluster, component_name). The description does not compensate for the schema's lack of parameter explanations, leaving the agent to guess the role of each field, especially the optional cluster and component_name.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb and resource ('List Tekton PipelineRuns') and adds a scoping qualifier ('associated with Konflux components'), which differentiates it from the generic sibling list_pipeline_runs. However, it does not explicitly name the alternative or clarify what 'associated' means, so it stops short of a 5.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage: call this when you need PipelineRuns tied to Konflux components. But it provides no explicit guidance about when to prefer this over list_pipeline_runs, no exclusions, and no context about namespace or component filters, leaving the agent to infer the intended use case.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_componentsB
List Konflux Components with source repo, branch, and build status.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes | ||
| application_name | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. Although 'List' implies a read-only operation, the description does not explicitly state that it makes no changes, nor does it mention scope, pagination, permissions, or how the namespace/application_name parameters affect behavior. Minimal behavior is disclosed beyond the basic listing action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence that front-loads the action and resource, then specifies the salient output fields. No filler, repetition, or irrelevant detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with an output schema, the description is minimally adequate but incomplete. It does not explain how application_name or cluster narrow the listing, nor how this relates to the Konflux domain siblings. An agent can call it correctly with the required namespace, but may misuse the optional filters without further documentation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for explaining the three parameters. It does not: 'source repo, branch, and build status' are output fields, not parameter semantics. The roles of cluster, namespace, and application_name are left entirely to their names, and their relationships/filtering behavior are unexplained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource ('List Konflux Components') and enumerates the included fields ('source repo, branch, and build status'). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_component (single component retrieval) and list_konflux_applications (applications, not components).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_component or list_konflux_applications. There are no exclusions, preconditions, or context about filtering by application_name. The intended use is only implied by the tool name and parameters.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_configmapsC
List ConfigMaps with namespace, name, key count, and age.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | ||
| label_selector | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It states it lists ConfigMaps but does not mention that it is a read-only operation, whether any permissions are required, or if there are any limitations (e.g., pagination, rate limits). The output schema exists but is not described, leaving the agent unaware of return value structure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise (one sentence) but at the expense of critically missing information about parameters and usage. It is front-loaded with the action and output fields, but the brevity reduces its utility significantly.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of 3 optional parameters and an output schema, the description should at least mention that filtering by cluster, namespace, or label_selector is possible. The extensive list of sibling tools further demands contextual cues to differentiate usage. The current description does not provide enough context for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 3 parameters (cluster, namespace, label_selector) with 0% description coverage. The description does not mention any of these parameters, leaving the agent with no semantic understanding of how to filter or scope the listing. Each parameter's purpose and possible values are entirely undocumented.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the verb 'List' and specifies the resource 'ConfigMaps', along with the fields returned (namespace, name, key count, age). It clearly states the tool's primary action and output structure, distinguishing it from tools that create or delete ConfigMaps. However, it lacks specific scope context (e.g., cluster or namespace) which might be ambiguous given the existence of sibling list tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives like list_secrets or list_pods. There is no mention of prerequisites, scope, or conditions under which the tool should be preferred. The description does not address when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_crdsB
List all CustomResourceDefinitions with group, stored versions, and scope.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| label_selector | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description implies a read-only list operation but does not disclose permissions, pagination, or scope (cluster-wide). With no annotations, it provides only basic transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no redundancy. It front-loads the core purpose but could integrate parameter hints.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Missing parameter explanations and behavioral details (e.g., whether 'all' CRDs are returned or if cluster filters). Output schema may cover return values, but the description is insufficient for a multi-parameter list tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the 'cluster' or 'label_selector' parameters. The tool has two parameters with no semantic context beyond their names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists CustomResourceDefinitions, specifying the fields returned (group, stored versions, scope). This distinguishes it from sibling 'list_custom_resources' which lists CR instances.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives (e.g., list_custom_resources). The description does not mention prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_cronjobsA
List CronJobs with NAMESPACE, NAME, SCHEDULE, SUSPEND, ACTIVE, LAST RUN, and AGE.
Args: namespace: Namespace to query (empty = all namespaces). label_selector: Label selector to filter CronJobs. cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | ||
| label_selector | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full behavioral burden. It implies read-only behavior through the verb 'List' and lists the output fields, but it does not explicitly confirm no side effects, mention auth/permissions, or discuss pagination/batching behavior. Basic for a list tool but not fully transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is tight and efficient: one purpose sentence followed by a short parameter list. No filler, no repetition of schema defaults, and the core action is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given an output schema exists and the operation is a straightforward list, the description covers all parameters and the returned columns. It does not mention errors, permissions, or limits, but for a read-only list tool this is a minor gap rather than a blocking one.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds real meaning: namespace empty means all namespaces, label_selector filters CronJobs, cluster empty means default. However, it does not specify the exact label selector syntax or value format, leaving some ambiguity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The first sentence states a specific verb and resource ('List CronJobs') and even enumerates the output columns (NAMESPACE, NAME, SCHEDULE, etc.). It is clearly distinct from sibling tools like list_jobs or create_job_from_cronjob.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The parameter descriptions provide clear usage context: namespace defaults to all namespaces, label_selector filters results, and cluster targets which cluster. It does not explicitly name alternative tools or state when not to use this tool, but the read/list intent is obvious from the description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_custom_resourcesC
List any custom resource by group/version/plural — works for any CRD.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| group | Yes | ||
| plural | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| version | Yes | ||
| namespace | No | ||
| label_selector | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic operation without mentioning side effects, permissions, pagination, or output format. This lacks sufficient transparency for a tool with 6 parameters.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that is front-loaded with key information. It is concise and to the point, though it omits important details that would improve usability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 6 parameters, no annotations, and an output schema that is not described, the description is too brief. It does not cover optional parameters or any behavior beyond the core listing, leaving the agent under-informed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions the three required parameters (group, version, plural) by name, but does not explain their meaning, formats, or valid values. Optional parameters like cluster, namespace, and label_selector are not described at all.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'list' and the resource 'any custom resource by group/version/plural', distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_crds (list CRDs) or get_resource (get a single resource). It also notes it works for any CRD, providing specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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. The description implies it is for listing custom resources not covered by dedicated listers, but does not provide when-not or direct comparisons to sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_daemonsetsA
List DaemonSets with NAMESPACE, NAME, DESIRED, CURRENT, READY, UP-TO-DATE, AVAILABLE, and AGE.
Args: namespace: Namespace to query (empty = all namespaces). label_selector: Label selector to filter DaemonSets. cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | ||
| label_selector | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It discloses the exact output columns and the semantics of empty namespace/cluster values, and 'List' makes the read-only nature evident. It does not discuss permissions, pagination, or failure behavior, but those are lower stakes for a list operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two short blocks: a front-loaded purpose line with output columns, then a compact Args list. Every sentence carries operational meaning and there is no redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
All three optional parameters are documented, the output columns are stated, and a schema exists for the return shape. For a simple read-only listing tool, nothing essential is missing for an agent to invoke it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema provides only titles and defaults, so the description is the sole source of parameter meaning. It explains namespace as a filter with all-namespaces behavior, label_selector as a DaemonSet filter, and cluster as a named-cluster target with default fallback.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'List DaemonSets' and enumerates the returned columns. It is unambiguous, but it does not explicitly contrast itself with sibling listing tools such as list_deployments or list_statefulsets, so differentiation is by resource name only.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use the tool: whenever a DaemonSet listing is needed, with optional namespace/label/cluster narrowing. It provides no explicit exclusions or alternatives, so an agent has to infer usage from the name and first sentence.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_data_science_pipelinesB
List DataSciencePipelinesApplications with readiness, storage, and API endpoint.

| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It indicates a read-only operation ('List') and mentions what details are returned, but lacks details on permissions, pagination, or error states. Adequate but not thorough.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, front-loaded with the verb and resource, with no extraneous words. Every word serves a purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is adequate for a listing tool given the existence of an output schema, but lacks parameter context and usage guidance, leaving gaps for an AI agent to interpret.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 2 parameters (cluster, namespace) with 0% description coverage. The tool description adds no information about these parameters, failing to compensate for the schema gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'DataSciencePipelinesApplications', and specifies key attributes (readiness, storage, API endpoint), distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_data_volumes or list_notebooks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs. alternatives (e.g., list_data_volumes, get_resource). The description implies a listing operation but offers no context for decision-making.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_data_science_projectsB
List OpenShift AI Data Science Projects (namespaces with opendatahub.io/dashboard=true label).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It accurately describes the filtering logic and indicates a read-only operation, but does not address permissions, pagination, or side effects. For a simple list tool, this is minimally adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that directly states the tool's core function and filtering criteria. It is concise and front-loaded, with no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, and an output schema exists (not shown), so return format is covered. However, the lack of parameter documentation and missing guidance on when to use it versus siblings leaves the description incomplete for an agent to use it effectively.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter 'cluster' is not explained in the description. With 0% schema description coverage, the agent has no information on its purpose, accepted values, or how it influences results. This is a critical gap that prevents correct usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists OpenShift AI Data Science Projects and specifies the filtering criterion (namespaces with opendatahub.io/dashboard=true label). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_namespaces which lists all namespaces, providing a specific and actionable purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for listing only labeled projects but does not explicitly provide when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternatives are mentioned, so the agent must infer the appropriate context from the filter condition.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_data_volumesC
List DataVolumes with phase, progress, capacity, and source type.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states what is listed without disclosing any behavioral traits (e.g., read-only, permissions required, scope). Minimal information beyond the basic functionality.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and to the point.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with two optional parameters and an existing output schema, the description is adequate but does not mention pagination, ordering, or any nuances. It covers the core functionality minimally.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the parameters (cluster, namespace). While parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory in context, the description adds no additional meaning or constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb (list) and resource (DataVolumes), and specifies the fields included (phase, progress, capacity, source type). It adequately distinguishes from sibling tools that list other resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives, no context on filtering or prerequisites. The description lacks any usage considerations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_deployment_configsA
List OpenShift DeploymentConfigs (apps.openshift.io/v1) with NAMESPACE, NAME, REVISION, DESIRED, CURRENT, and AGE.
Args: namespace: Namespace to query (empty = all namespaces). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility. It does disclose the default behavior for `namespace` and `cluster` (empty = all/default) and the output columns introduced. However, it does not mention pagination, permissions, error conditions, or whether this is a read-only operation beyond the implicit 'List' verb.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and front-loaded with the core purpose. Each sentence earns its place, and the parameter details are clearly separated. There is no fluff or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple two-parameter list operation with an output schema available, the description covers the resource type, output columns, and parameter semantics. It lacks only explicit differentiation from the close sibling `list_deployments` and any mention of operational constraints like permissions, but overall it is adequately complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must fully explain the parameters. It does: `namespace` is described as 'Namespace to query (empty = all namespaces)' and `cluster` as 'Named cluster to target (empty = default)'. This adds real meaning beyond the bare schema defaults.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('List'), a specific resource ('OpenShift DeploymentConfigs'), and the exact API group ('apps.openshift.io/v1'), plus the columns returned. This makes the tool's purpose unambiguous and distinguishes it from the related sibling `list_deployments` which targets Kubernetes Deployments.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains parameter behavior but gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as `list_deployments` or `rollout_deployment_config`. There is no mention of exclusions, prerequisites, or preferred use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_deploymentsA
List Deployments with NAMESPACE, NAME, READY, UP-TO-DATE, AVAILABLE, and AGE.

| label_selector | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior itself. The 'List' verb implies a read-only operationched and the parameter defaults ('empty = all namespaces', 'empty = default') clarify scoping. It also lists the returned columns. Yet it does not explicitly state the operation is non-mutating or mention any edge cases like pagination or error handling, leaving some burden on the agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and front-loaded: it opens with the action and output columns, then provides a tidy Args block. Every sentence is useful, with no filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple listing tool with three optional parameters and no annotations, the description covers the core semantics: what is returned, parameter defaults, and scope. The output schema (if present) will likely document return structure. It does not discuss size limits or ordering, but these are not critical for basic invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must carry parameter semantics. It explains each parameter: namespace (scope, default all), label_selector (filtering), and cluster (target, default). This adds meaning beyond raw names, though it does not elaborate on label selector syntax or allowed values, which are standard Kubernetes concepts.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'List' with the resource 'Deployments' and enumerates the exact output columns (NAMESPACE, NAME, READY, UP-TO-DATE, AVAILABLE, AGE). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools that list other resources like daemonsets, cronjobs, or statefulsets.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use the tool by matching the resource nameible 'deployments' and explains parameter defaults (e.g., empty namespace = all namespaces), giving context. However, it does not explicitly mention when to prefer a sibling tool like list_deployment_configs or provide exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_destination_rulesC
List Istio DestinationRules with host, subsets, TLS mode, and age.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond the act of listing. It does not mention whether the operation is read-only, any permission requirements, or response characteristics.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single efficient sentence with no wasted words. However, it could be slightly expanded to include parameter hints without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the output schema exists (covering return values), the description lacks information on parameter usage, filtering behavior, or system impact. For a simple list tool, it is incomplete given the missing parameter documentation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has two parameters (cluster, namespace) with 0% description coverage, and the description does not mention or explain either parameter. This leaves the agent without any context for how to use the parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists Istio DestinationRules and specifies the fields included (host, subsets, TLS mode, age). The verb 'list' and resource type are explicit, and the tool is distinct from sibling tools like list_virtual_services or list_service_entries.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 or any prerequisites. Sibling tools include many other list commands, but the description does not differentiate usage scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_event_listenersB
List Tekton EventListeners with readiness, URL, and age.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry behavioral disclosure. It implies a read-only list operation but does not mention pagination, result limits, permission requirements, or how the optional cluster and namespace parameters affect behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, compact, front-loaded sentence. Every word adds meaning and there is no filler or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with an output schema, the core resource and purpose are clear. However, the two parameters are completely unexplained and there is no usage context, so the definition is only minimally viable.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for undocumented parameters. It does not mention 'cluster' or 'namespace' at all, leaving their meaning, defaults, and scoping behavior unexplained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action ('List') and resource ('Tekton EventListeners'), and even names the output dimensions (readiness, URL, age). This differentiates it from other list tools in the sibling set, which target different resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. The description gives no context about cluster/namespace selection, prerequisites, or how it relates to other Tekton or event-related tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_eventsA
List the most recent 50 events, optionally filtered by namespace, field selector, or involved object name.
Args: namespace: Namespace to query (empty = all namespaces). field_selector: Kubernetes field selector (e.g. "reason=BackOff"). involved_object: Filter by involvedObject.name (appended to field_selector). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | ||
| field_selector | No | ||
| involved_object | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It does disclose the 50-event limit, the filter behavior, and that involved_object is appended to field_selector. However, it does not explicitly state that this is a read-only operation, nor does it describe ordering (beyond 'most recent') or error behavior, leaving some transparency gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise and front-loaded, with the core purpose stated in the first sentence and the parameter definitions in a clean list. Every sentence earns its place without redundancy, though the Args block could arguably be condensed into a more structured format.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity, an output schema exists (so return values don't need explanation), and the description covers the main behaviors: limit, filters, namespace default, and cluster targeting. It lacks details on pagination (not needed for a 50-item limit) and permission requirements, but these are minor in this context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description fully compensates by explaining each parameter in prose: namespace (empty = all), field_selector with an example, involved_object (appended to field_selector), and cluster (empty = default). This adds real semantic value beyond the bare schema titles, though it could also detail the exact syntax of field_selector more thoroughly.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists the most recent 50 events, a specific verb-resource pair with a concrete limit. It distinguishes itself from sibling list_* tools by focusing on events and describes the available filters, leaving no ambiguity about what it does.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides clear context for when to use this tool: when you need Kubernetes events, with optional filters for namespace, field_selector, and involved_object. It doesn't explicitly name alternatives or exclusion cases, but the domain is unique enough that no sibling directly competes, so the guidance is adequate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_gatewaysB
List Istio Gateways with selector, ports, servers count, and age.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose side effects, idempotency, or resource impact. It implies a read operation but does not explicitly state it, leaving behavioral ambiguity.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no redundancy. However, it omits parameter details which could be included efficiently. Still, it's front-loaded and concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the output schema exists and sibling list is extensive, the description is minimal but covers the basic purpose. It lacks context on filtering or common use cases, so it's adequate but not complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Input schema has two optional parameters (cluster, namespace) with 0% description coverage. The description does not explain how these parameters affect the output, leaving agents uninformed.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists Istio Gateways and specifies the fields returned (selector, ports, servers count, age). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list_virtual_services and list_destination_rules.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives. No mention of context like filtering or prerequisites for the cluster or namespace parameters.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_gitops_applicationsC
List ArgoCD Applications with sync/health status, repo, revision, destination, and age.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | openshift-gitops |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 conveys a read-only listing and names the status fields, but it does not disclose behavior around the cluster/namespace parameters, ordering, pagination, or whether statuses are current or cached. Minimal behavioral context is added beyond the verb 'List'.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no filler, front-loaded with the verb and resource. Every word earns its place, and the structure is immediately scannable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
An output schema exists and this is a low-complexity list operation, but the description still omits the meaning of the cluster and namespace parameters and provides no usage context relative to closely related GitOps tools. The cluster parameter is especially ambiguous, and the lack of sibling routing makes the description incomplete for confident tool selection.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description makes no mention of the cluster or namespace parameters or their defaults (e.g., openshift-gitops). The agent gets no help understanding what 'cluster' means or how 'namespace' filters results. The description does not compensate for the missing schema descriptions at all.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('List'), identifies the resource ('ArgoCD Applications'), and enumerates the returned fields (sync/health status, repo, revision, destination, age). It is clear, though it does not explicitly differentiate from siblings like get_gitops_application or get_gitops_application_health; the plural 'List' and summary-field emphasis imply the distinction.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_gitops_application for a single app, get_gitops_application_health for health details, or sync/refresh operations. The 'List' verb implies batch viewing, but the description never states conditions, exclusions, or the intended selection criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_gitops_clustersB
List ArgoCD registered clusters from Secrets with label argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type=cluster.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | openshift-gitops |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions the label-based filtering but doesn't describe what happens if no secrets match, whether it returns empty list or errors, or how namespace affects the search. The behavior appears read-only, but that's not explicitly stated.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no wasted words. It front-loads the action and immediately provides the specific label selector, making it easy to scan. Perfect length for what it conveys.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 optional params) and the output schema presence, the description is mostly adequate. However, it could clarify whether the namespace parameter is respected when the label is applied, and what constitutes a 'registered cluster' (e.g., does it require a secret type). The output schema likely covers return format, but usage context is somewhat thin.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains the cluster and namespace parameters implicitly (cluster is part of the resource, namespace defaults to openshift-gitops), but doesn't clarify how cluster is used (e.g., filter vs selection). The description adds some context but not enough to fully understand parameter usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (list) and the resource (ArgoCD registered clusters from Secrets) with a specific label selector. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like list_gitops_applications and list_app_projects by focusing on clusters, though it doesn't explicitly name them.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is for listing ArgoCD clusters, but it doesn't explicitly state when to use this over alternatives like list_gitops_applications or get_gitops_application. It provides the label filter, which helps agents understand the scope, but no explicit exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_groupsB
List OpenShift Groups with member count and up to 5 member names.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden. It reveals the output shape, including the 'up to 5 member names' truncation detail, but it does not state whether this is a read-only operation, whether results are paginated, or how the cluster parameter affects scope.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that front-loads the action and resource, then adds the key output details. There is no filler, redundancy, or wasted text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
An output schema exists and covers return details, so the description does not need to restate everything. However, the cluster parameter is left unexplained and there is no usage context, which is a notable gap for a tool with no annotations.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage and the only parameter, 'cluster', is not explained in the tool description. An agent must guess what cluster means and what the empty default implies, so the description adds no value beyond the parameter name.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('List') and resource ('OpenShift Groups'), and states the result fields (member count and up to 5 member names). This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_users, create_group, or add_user_to_group.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_user, create_group, or add_user_to_group. There is no mention of preconditions, exclusions, or what cluster context is expected.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
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 implies a read-only list operation and states what information is returned, which is useful, but it does not clarify default scope, whether cluster or namespace are required filters, or any pagination or side-effect behavior beyond the word 'List'.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single focused sentence with the action and key output details front-loaded. Every word contributes information, and there is no filler, repetition, or unnecessary structure.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple and has an output schema, so the return shape is covered elsewhere. However, the optional cluster and namespace parameters are left semantically unexplained, and there is no statement about default scope or filtering behavior, making the definition only minimally complete for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage for both parameters, and the description does not add any meaning to cluster or namespace. An agent cannot determine whether these are optional filters, what an empty default means, or what combinations are valid.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly names the resource (HorizontalPodAutoscalers), the action (List), and previews key returned fields (min/max/current/desired replicas and metrics). It is specific and understandable, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from related sibling tools such as list_vpas or get_cluster_autoscaler.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention exclusions or prerequisites. The name implies a read-only listing, but there is no explicit direction about choosing list_hpas over related autoscaler or scaling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_image_streamsC
List ImageStreams with their internal Docker repository and tag count.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose potential side effects, required permissions, scope of listing (e.g., all clusters/namespaces vs. specific ones), or behavior regarding pagination or data freshness. The optional parameters are not explained, leaving behavioral ambiguity.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the purpose. It is efficient but lacks structural elements like bullet points or separate sections that could improve scannability. Every word is earned.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema (which reduces the need to describe return values), the description fails to explain parameter behavior, usage context, or how this tool relates to siblings. For a tool with many related tools, this is a significant gap.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to the parameters 'cluster' and 'namespace'. Their roles (filters? scoping?) are not mentioned, leaving the agent guessing how to use them.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'ImageStreams', and specifies that it includes 'internal Docker repository and tag count'. However, it does not differentiate from the closely related sibling tool 'list_image_stream_tags', which could cause confusion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 like 'list_image_stream_tags'. The description lacks context on prerequisites or appropriate scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_image_stream_tagsC
List tags for an ImageStream with image digest and creation timestamp.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the burden but only discloses the action (list) and returned fields (digest, timestamp). It omits behavioral details like read-only nature, authentication needs, pagination, or error cases, which are critical for an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-formed sentence with the verb and object upfront. However, it is too brief for a tool with three parameters and no schema descriptions, sacrificing necessary detail for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While an output schema exists, the description lacks parameter details and usage context. For a tool with three parameters, including one required, the absence of explanations makes it incomplete for reliable agent invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no explanation of the three parameters (cluster, namespace, image_stream). It fails to add meaning beyond the schema's property names, leaving the agent uninformed about required or optional values.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List tags for an ImageStream' and specifies the returned data (image digest and creation timestamp). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_image_streams by focusing on tags.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 or when not to use it. There is no mention of prerequisites or exclusions, leaving the agent without contextual decision support.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_inference_servicesC

| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the behavioral burden. It conveys that this is a non-mutating list operation and names the returned attributes, which is basic transparency. However, it does not disclose scoping behavior, error cases, or any side effects beyond what 'List' implies.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, followed by a compact field list. There is no filler or redundant restating of the tool name.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
An output schema exists, so return structure is partially covered, but the optional parameters are undocumented and no sibling differentiation is provided. An agent cannot tell how to scope the query or why this tool should be chosen over list_model_servers.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description never mentions cluster or namespace. Defaults of empty strings exist, but the meaning of those defaults is left entirely unexplained. The description does nothing to compensate for the absence of schema-level parameter documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description names a specific action and resource, 'List InferenceServices', and enumerates the meaningful output fields (readiness, model format, storage URI, URL, age). It is clear but does not contrast itself with sibling tools such as list_model_servers, so it stops short of full differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool instead of alternatives, no mention of how it differs from related inference-service or model-server tools, and no explanation of when the cluster or namespace parameters should be set. The verb 'List' implies the general use case, but nothing more.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_ingressesA

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only status, required permissions, or side effects. It only describes the listing action without safety or constraint details.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise: one sentence for purpose followed by a structured Args block. No redundant text, and the key information is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the main functionality and parameters. The existence of an output schema reduces need to describe return values. It lacks usage context and behavioral details but is adequate for a simple list operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, but the description adds brief yet meaningful explanations for all three parameters, including default behavior (e.g., 'empty = all namespaces'). However, it lacks format constraints or examples.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists Kubernetes Ingress objects and explicitly lists the columns (NAMESPACE, NAME, CLASS, HOSTS, ADDRESS, PORTS, AGE), making the tool's purpose very specific and distinguishable from sibling list tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description indicates a read-only listing operation, which is consistent. However, it does not disclose behavioral details beyond that, such as whether results are paginated, limited to a specific cluster context, or how empty/default parameters affect the result. Since no annotations exist, the description carries full burden but only provides minimal behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-formed sentence that conveys the core function efficiently. It is concise and front-loaded, but could be improved by including parameter hints in the same space without sacrificing clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present, the description does not need to cover return values. However, with two undocumented parameters and no usage or behavioral guidance, the tool description feels incomplete. For the agent to correctly use this tool among many sibling tools, more context on parameter behavior and selection criteria is needed.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description makes no mention of the two parameters ('cluster' and 'namespace'). Without explanation, the agent cannot infer that these parameters filter or scope the list. The description adds no semantic value beyond what the schema provides.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's verb ('List'), resource ('installed operators'), and the specific return fields ('display name, version, and phase'). It explicitly maps operators to ClusterServiceVersions, making the purpose unambiguous and differentiating it from sibling tools that focus on other aspects of operators.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 like 'get_operator_status' or 'list_subscriptions'. There are no hints about prerequisites, namespace scoping, or typical use cases. The description lacks any usage context.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden. It only says 'List', implying a read operation, but offers no details about permissions, scope of results, or side effects. The output schema exists but the description does not supplement it with behavioral expectations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
At six words it is overly terse. While brevity is valued, this description omits critical context, making it under-specified rather than efficiently concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the existence of an output schema, the description should explain scope, filtering, and usage context. It does none of this, leaving the tool's behavior underspecified relative to its parameter set and sibling tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the schema lacks parameter descriptions. The description adds no information about the parameters (cluster, namespace, application_name), failing to compensate for the missing schema details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the verb 'list' and the resource 'Konflux IntegrationTestScenarios', which is specific enough to convey the general purpose. However, it does not clarify that listing is scoped to a namespace (despite the required namespace parameter) or distinguish this tool from sibling tools like 'list_snapshots' or 'get_komponent'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

A single sentence of 10 words, no redundant information. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has an output schema and is a simple list operation, the description is partially complete. It covers the main purpose and scope but misses explaining the cluster parameter and usage context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has two parameters (cluster, cluster_name) with 0% schema description coverage. The description mentions only cluster_name in the context of namespace, providing some meaning. But it ignores the cluster parameter entirely, leaving its purpose unclear.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the specific action (List), resource (ManifestWorks), and context (deployed to a ManagedCluster, with namespace=cluster_name). This distinguishes it from siblings like create_manifest_work and other list tools, but does not explicitly contrast with similar list tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives or when not to use it. The description only states what it does, failing to provide contextual usage cues.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description only states the output fields. Missing disclosure of read-only nature, pagination, filtering behavior, or authentication needs.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Very concise single sentence, no wasted words. However, conciseness comes at the cost of completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of annotations and schema descriptions, the description fails to explain parameter usage, return format, or any tool behavior beyond listing fields.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention the 'cluster' or 'namespace' parameters, providing no additional meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the action (List) and resource (ModelRegistries), and specifies the fields included (availability, REST port, gRPC port, age). However, does not differentiate from sibling list tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites or context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_model_serversC
List ServingRuntimes and ClusterServingRuntimes with scope, formats, multi-model, and age.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It states the tool lists resources but does not disclose whether it is read-only, any permissions required, pagination behavior, or output limits. The presence of an output schema is known but not described.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no redundancy. However, it is too brief to convey necessary details, sacrificing completeness for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the existence of an output schema (not visible), the description fails to cover key aspects: parameter usage, listing behavior scope, and any constraints. With 0% schema coverage, the description is insufficient for the agent to understand the tool's full functionality.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has two parameters (cluster, namespace) with 0% schema description coverage. The description does not explain these parameters or how they affect results. The mention of 'scope, formats, multi-model, and age' likely refers to filtering or output fields, but it is unrelated to the actual parameters, leaving the agent without parameter guidance.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the tool lists 'ServingRuntimes and ClusterServingRuntimes', specifying the resource types. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_data_volumes or list_model_registries. However, the phrase 'with scope, formats, multi-model, and age' is ambiguous—it may refer to filtering options but is not explicit.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (e.g., list_model_registries). There is no mention of prerequisites, contexts, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description carries the burden. It discloses the returned fields but doesn't mention side effects, permissions, or whether it's read-only (though obvious). This is minimally adequate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence that is concise and front-loaded. However, it could be slightly more informative without sacrificing brevity, e.g., mentioning optional filters.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given no annotations and 0% schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It mentions output fields but ignores parameters. With many sibling listing tools, more context (e.g., filtering) would improve completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description adds no explanation of the 'cluster' or 'label_selector' parameters. It only describes output fields, not input parameters, which requires the agent to infer from names alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'List' and the resource 'namespaces', and specifies the returned fields (STATUS, LABELS, AGE). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'create_namespace' and 'delete_namespace' by being a read-only listing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs. alternatives like 'list_pods' or filtered listings. The description implies it's for listing all namespaces, but doesn't mention optional filters or when to use them.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_network_policiesA
List NetworkPolicies with NAMESPACE, NAME, POD-SELECTOR, POLICY-TYPES, and AGE.
Args: namespace: Namespace to query (empty = all namespaces). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry behavioral disclosure. It states the read-only list behavior, the returned fields, and the namespace/cluster scoping rules. It does not discuss auth or error behavior, but for a simple list tool backed by an output schema these are not critical gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and front-loaded: the operation and output columns appear first, followed by two terse but complete argument definitions. No filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a 2-parameter, read-only listing tool with an output schema present, the description covers the tool's purpose, return columns, and both parameters completely. Nothing needed to correctly invoke it is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the parameter meanings fall entirely on the description. Both parameters are explained with their empty-value semantics, fully compensating for the schema's lack of description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb and resource ('List NetworkPolicies') and enumerates the exact output columns (NAMESPACE, NAME, POD-SELECTOR, POLICY-TYPES, AGE). This distinguishes it from mutation siblings like delete_network_policy without ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The Args section gives clear invocation context for both parameters, including the meaning of empty values ('all namespaces' and 'default' cluster). It does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it, but the list semantics and parameter defaults provide adequate usage guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_nodesC
List all nodes with ROLES, STATUS, OS image, KUBELET version, and AGE.

TDQS
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 only lists returned fields but does not disclose behavioral traits like pagination, ordering, performance impact, or authentication requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no redundancy. It is concise, but it could include parameter information without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of many sibling tools and optional parameters, the description is incomplete. It does not clarify default behavior when no parameters are provided or how the output schema relates to the listed fields.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description does not explain the purpose or usage of the two parameters ('cluster' and 'label_selector'), leaving the agent to infer functionality from names alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the action ('List all nodes') and lists the fields included (ROLES, STATUS, OS image, KUBELET version, AGE). This distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_node' which retrieves a single node.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs alternatives (e.g., 'get_node' for a specific node, or filtered queries). The description implies it lists all nodes but does not mention prerequisites or common use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_notebooksC

| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only lists output fields but fails to mention that the tool is read-only, whether special permissions are needed, or how empty parameters behave. For a list operation with optional parameters, more transparency is expected.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but given the lack of parameter and behavioral info, it is under-specified. It is front-loaded with the core purpose, but misses essential details for correct invocation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With two optional parameters, no schema descriptions, no annotations, and an output schema not shown, the description is incomplete. It does not cover parameter semantics, return structure, or edge cases. An agent would lack critical context to invoke the tool reliably.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the 'cluster' and 'namespace' parameters at all. There is no hint about their purpose, default values, or expected format. The description adds no value beyond the schema's minimal structure.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'Kubeflow Notebooks', and specifies the fields returned (state, image, CPU/memory requests, age). This is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like list_pods or list_jobs.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is for listing notebooks, which is a distinct use case. However, no explicit guidance is given on when to use vs alternatives, nor any prerequisites (e.g., cluster/namespace). With zero schema coverage, the agent gets no hint about parameter defaults or required context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_operator_conditionsC
List OperatorConditions (operators.coreos.com/v2) with active condition summary.

| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 hints at output content ('active condition summary') but does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, side effects, or prerequisites. For a list operation, safety assumptions are implicit but not stated.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no unnecessary words. It is concise and efficient, though it could provide more detail without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of sibling tools and an output schema, the description covers the basic purpose and a key output feature (active condition summary). However, it lacks parameter guidance and usage context, making it minimally adequate for a list tool with moderate complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% (no parameter descriptions in the schema), and the description does not mention parameters at all. With two parameters (cluster and namespace) that are optional but could benefit from explanation, the description adds no value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'OperatorConditions' with the API version, and adds a specific attribute 'with active condition summary'. It distinguishes the tool from siblings like 'list_installed_operators' by specifying the resource and detail, but does not explicitly differentiate.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 like 'list_installed_operators' or 'list_subscriptions'. There are no exclusions or context hints.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are absent, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It mentions return fields but does not explain that listing is read-only, idempotent, or whether permissions are required. No details on how optional parameters affect results.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise with one sentence and no filler. However, it omits necessary details, so it is not optimally structured for usability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (2 optional params, large sibling set, no annotations), the description is incomplete. It fails to explain parameter usage or provide context for selecting this tool among many list tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no information about the parameters (cluster, namespace). The agent gets no guidance on how to fill these fields or their effect.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (List) and the resource (OperatorGroups), and specifies the return fields (target namespaces, service account), making it distinct from sibling list tools like list_pods or list_installed_operators.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like list_installed_operators or get_operator_status. No prerequisites or context provided, leaving the agent to guess optimal usage.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It only mentions what is listed, not any read-only guarantees, pagination, default namespace behavior, or side effects. This is insufficient for an agent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, concise but lacking essential details. It is not overly verbose, but it sacrifices completeness for brevity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present, return value explanation is not required, but the description omits filtering capabilities, pagination, or any operational context needed for correct use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to the two parameters (cluster, namespace). Their roles are completely unexplained, which is a major gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List') and the resource ('Istio PeerAuthentications'), and specifies three fields returned (mTLS mode, selector, age), making it distinct from sibling list tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool vs alternatives, nor any prerequisites or excluded scenarios. Sibling tools exist for other resources, but no explicit comparison or context is provided.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only says 'List,' implying read-only, but does not explicitly state it is non-destructive, nor does it mention pagination, sorting, or any side effects. The mention of returned fields (name, status, duration, age) is more about output than behavior, leaving behavioral expectations unclear.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise and front-loaded with the action and resource. However, it is too terse to be effective, omitting essential details about parameters and usage. The conciseness is not balanced with completeness, making it minimally helpful rather than efficiently informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although an output schema exists, the description does not cover the optional parameters (cluster, namespace, label_selector) or provide selection criteria among sibling tools. For a listing tool with several optional filters, this is a significant gap. The description gives only the core purpose, leaving behavioral and parameter context empty.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 3 parameters (cluster, namespace, label_selector) with no descriptions, and the tool description does not explain any of them. With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate by clarifying the purpose or format of these parameters, but it remains silent. An agent has no guidance on how to use or interpret these fields.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a clear verb ('List') and a specific resource ('Tekton PipelineRuns'), and enumerates the fields included in the output (pipeline name, status, duration, age). It distinguishes from siblings like list_pipelines (which lists definitions) and get_pipeline_run (which retrieves a single run) by focusing on a list of runs. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from list_component_pipeline_runs, which could cause minor ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention any filters (cluster, namespace, label_selector) or explain when to use it instead of related tools like cancel_pipeline_run or list_task_runs. There is no context or exclusionary language to help an agent choose this tool.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_pipelinesB

| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden. 'List' implies a read-only operation, and the mention of 'task count and age' indicates computed metadata is returned, but the description does not disclose authorization needs, default scope of the list across namespaces, or edge-case behavior such as missing Tekton installation. It is minimally transparent but not detailed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, information-dense sentence that directly opens with the verb. Every word adds value: 'List' specifies the action, 'Tekton Pipelines' the resource, and 'task count and age' previews the output; there is no padding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Even though an output schema exists, the description leaves crucial context missing: how cluster/namespace scope the results and whether this covers pipeline definitions as opposed to pipeline runs. With no annotations and two undocumented optional parameters, this one-liner is not enough for an agent to call the tool confidently in all contexts.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Both parameters (cluster, namespace) have zero schema descriptions and the description does not mention them at all. There is no hint about how empty defaults behave or how to use them for filtering, so the description adds no meaning beyond the bare parameter names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the imperative 'List' with a clear resource, 'Tekton Pipelines', and adds output specifics ('task count and age'). This fully distinguishes it from related siblings like list_pipeline_runs or get_pipeline, so an agent can immediately identify the tool's purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives such as list_pipeline_runs or start_pipeline_run. There are no explicit conditions, exclusions, or mention of the sibling tools that handle pipeline runs, leaving the selection entirely to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_placementsC

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It only mentions what is returned ('with predicates and satisfaction status') but lacks information on side effects, permissions, pagination, or constraints. This is minimally transparent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short (one sentence) and to the point, but it sacrifices completeness for brevity. It is front-loaded but overly minimal, lacking important details that could be added without much length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that the tool has an output schema (not shown) and optional parameters, the description does not explain pagination, default behavior, or how to interpret the output. It is insufficient for an agent to use the tool effectively without additional context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description provides no information about the parameters 'cluster' or 'namespace'. The description does not compensate for the missing schema descriptions, leaving the agent without guidance on how to use the parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'List' and the resource 'ACM Placements' with the additional detail 'with predicates and satisfaction status', providing a specific verb and resource. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like list_custom_resources or get_resource, which could list similar resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, no context about prerequisites, and no exclusions or when-not-to-use scenarios. It merely states what the tool does.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_podsA
List pods with NAMESPACE, NAME, STATUS, READY, RESTARTS, NODE, and AGE columns.
Args: namespace: Namespace to query (empty = all namespaces). label_selector: Label selector (e.g. "app=nginx"). field_selector: Field selector (e.g. "status.phase=Running"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It does not mention pagination, result limits, permission requirements, or sorting. The description only lists the output columns. This leaves significant gaps in understanding the tool's behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, front-loading the core purpose in the first sentence. The parameter block is clean and uses 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.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool outputs an array of objects (as inferred from output schema presence), the description lists key columns, which is helpful. However, it could mention pagination or maximum results for completeness. The need for alternative guidance (e.g., vs run_oc_command) is noted but not critical.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The parameter descriptions (e.g., namespace: 'empty = all namespaces', label_selector: 'e.g. "app=nginx"') add meaningful context beyond the schema, which only has types and defaults. However, the schema coverage is 0%, so these explanations are essential and well done.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: listing pods with specific columns (NAMESPACE, NAME, STATUS, etc.). It distinguishes it from siblings like get_pod (single pod) and other listing tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains parameters and default behavior (e.g., empty namespace for all namespaces), but does not explicitly mention when to use this vs alternatives like run_oc_command or get_pod. No when-not guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_pod_security_violationsB
List events that indicate pod security or SCC violations (FailedCreate + security keywords).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It explains the filtering criteria (FailedCreate + security keywords) but does not mention side effects, permissions, or rate limits. It is read-only by nature, but additional context would improve transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, short sentence that conveys the core purpose without unnecessary words. It is concise but could benefit from more structure, such as breaking out parameter details.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While an output schema exists (so return values need not be explained), the description omits parameter semantics and usage context, making it incomplete for effective use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the description provides no information about the 'cluster' and 'namespace' parameters, leaving them completely undocumented. The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists events indicating pod security or SCC violations, specifying it filters by FailedCreate + security keywords. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_pods, which list general pods.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for security violation events but offers no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor does it mention alternative 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.
list_policiesC
List ACM Policies with remediation action and compliance status.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. 'List' clearly implies a read-only operation)Skip and it discloses the returned data fields. However, it does not explain scoping behavior, how the cluster or namespace parameters affect results, or any pagination or default behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that immediately identifies the resource and the key output fields. There is no redundant content or filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
An output schema exists, so return values are partly covered, but the description fails to explain the role of the two optional parameters or how filtered results behave. For a tool with no annotations and undeclared parameters, this is incomplete for confident selection and invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not mention the cluster or namespace parameters at all. This leaves the agent to infer their meaning and defaults on its own, which is a significant gap for correct invocation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'List ACM Policies', and adds the key output attributes 'remediation action and compliance status'. This makes the core purpose clearholi, though it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the similarly named sibling get_policy_compliance.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided for when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_policy_compliance or list_managed_clusters. The description only says what the tool does, with no conditions, exclusions, or mention of preferred scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_prometheus_rulesC

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not explain whether the listing spans all namespaces when namespace is empty, whether cluster must be a context name or resource label, or whether pagination or limits apply. 'List' implies read-only, but important scoping behavior is undisclosed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is one concise sentence that front-loads the primary action and result. There is no filler or redundant wording; it is appropriately sized for a simple list operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no annotations, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the meaning of 'per resource', how the optional parameters scope the result, or how this differs from similar monitoring tools like list_alerting_rules and list_alerts. The output schema exists, so return format is covered, but the operational context is lacking.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not mention the cluster or namespace parameters at all. The parameter names are self-explanatory, but the description adds no meaning beyond the schema fields, and it fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions, such as how cluster/namespace filters are applied.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'List PrometheusRules' with a defined output shape ('counts of alerting rules and recording rules per resource'). This is clear and largely distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_alerts or list_alerting_rules, though it does not explicitly name those alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given about when to use this tool versus related tools such as list_alerting_rules, list_alerts, or query_prometheus. The intended use is only implied by the name and one-line description, with no exclusions or alternatives mentioned.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_pvcsB
List PersistentVolumeClaims with status, volume, capacity, access modes, and storage class.

| label_selector | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must cover behavior. It only mentions return fields, not how the tool behaves (e.g., supports optional filtering by cluster, namespace, label selector; no pagination details). Basic disclosure only.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded, no wasted words. Could be slightly improved by including parameter hints, but remains efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a listing tool with optional filters, the description adequately states output but omits parameter context. With an output schema, return values are covered, but parameter semantics are missing. Adequate but not complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description adds no information about the parameters (cluster, namespace, label_selector). The agent must infer their meaning from names alone.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists PersistentVolumeClaims and specifies the fields returned (status, volume, capacity, access modes, storage class). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_pvc' or 'list_pvs' by targeting PVCs with a list operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit usage guidance or alternatives mentioned. The description implies a straightforward listing operation, but with many sibling tools, it would benefit from noting when to use this vs get_pvc or list_pvs.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_pvsC
List PersistentVolumes with capacity, access modes, storage class, reclaim policy, status, and claim.

| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as pagination, scope (cluster-wide vs namespace), required permissions, or performance implications. For a list tool, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but omits critical information. It is well-structured but not sufficiently informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although an output schema exists, the description fails to explain the parameters or provide context for using this tool among many sibling Kubernetes tools. It is incomplete for effective agent decision-making.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description was expected to explain parameters. However, it only lists output fields, not the input parameters 'cluster' or 'label_selector', leaving their purpose unclear.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'PersistentVolumes', and it lists the specific attributes included, making it distinct from sibling tools like 'get_pv' (single PV) and 'list_pvcs' (PVCs).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives, no prerequisites mentioned, and no hints about filtering or cluster context. The agent is left to infer usage from the schema parameters alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_release_plansC

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the action and target, but does not disclose any behavioral traits such as pagination, permissions, or that it is read-only. For a read-like operation, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, very concise but at the cost of clarity. It lacks structured information but is not overly verbose. An average score is appropriate.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has 3 parameters, no annotations, and an output schema (not shown). The description does not explain the output or provide context on how to use parameters effectively. It is incomplete for a tool with moderate complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the description adds no meaning beyond parameter names. The description mentions 'target workspace', which does not match any parameter (e.g., 'namespace' is required). No parameter is explained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists Konflux ReleasePlans, which specifies the resource type. However, it mentions 'with target workspace' which is ambiguous since the required parameter is 'namespace', not 'workspace'. This slight mismatch reduces clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives like list_custom_resources or other list tools. The context provides many sibling tools, but the description does not differentiate usage scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_releasesC

| application_name | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry behavioral info. It indicates a non-mutating list operation by the verb 'List' but provides no explicit read-only statement, no details on scope, permissions, or side effects. This is minimal but not misleading.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence that is front-loaded with the action and includes the essential output fields. No unnecessary words or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a list operation, the absence of output schema detail is mitigated by the existence of an output schema, but the definition does not explain parameter usage, the meaning of 'target workspace', or how this differs from list_release_plans. Given no annotations and low parameter guidance, the description is somewhat incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%; the description does not explain the namespace, cluster, or application_name parameters. The phrase 'target workspace' might hint at namespace but does not clarify required vs optional semantics. The description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
States a specific verb ('List'), resource ('Konflux Releases'), and the key fields returned (snapshot, status, target workspace). This distinguishes it from related sibling tools like list_snapshots or list_release_plans, though it does not explicitly name alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives. No mention of exclusions, prerequisites, or relationship to list_release_plans/list_snapshots. The only implicit signal is the 'List' verb, which does not aid selection among many sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_role_bindingsA
List RoleBindings in a namespace with role reference and bound subjects.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. The verb 'List' makes the read-only nature clear and the description names the returned content, but it does not mention permissions, cluster-context behavior, or pagination. This is adequate for a simple list operation but not especially rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence that front-loads the verb, resource, and scope with no filler or repetition. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a two-parameter list tool with an output schema, the core listing behavior and output content are covered. However, the 'cluster' parameter is not documented in the description or schema, and there is no explicit differentiation from list_cluster_role_bindings. It is minimally viable but has clear gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for missing parameter documentation. It adds meaning to 'namespace' via 'in a namespace', but the 'cluster' parameter is entirely unexplained, including its default value. With two parameters and one undocumented, the coverage is incomplete.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Uses a specific verb ('List'), names the exact resource (RoleBindings), and scopes it to a namespace. Also previews the returned fields ('role reference and bound subjects'), which distinguishes it from the cluster-scoped sibling list_cluster_role_bindings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The namespaced phrasing implies when the tool is appropriate, but there is no explicit mention of alternatives or when-not-to-use conditions. An agent must infer the contrast with list_cluster_role_bindings from sibling names rather than from guidance in the description.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description only says 'List', implying read-only, but does not explicitly state no side effects, permissions, or other behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded with verb and resource, efficient and minimal.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers basic purpose but lacks context on default behavior, error handling, and output format; output schema exists but description does not complement it.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet description provides no details about parameters (cluster, namespace) beyond what's in the schema, missing an opportunity to explain defaults or usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists roles in a namespace with policy rule counts, distinguishing it from siblings like list_cluster_roles.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Implied usage by resource type, but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like list_cluster_roles or list_role_bindings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_routesA

TDQS
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 only describes the output columns and parameters but does not mention that the operation is read-only, whether it might incur performance costs, or any other behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise: a single-sentence purpose followed by a clear argument specification. No redundant or extraneous information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, the description does not need to detail return values. It covers the essential purpose and parameters. However, it lacks details on sorting, pagination, or error cases, which could be useful for a list tool among many siblings.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no descriptions (0% coverage), but the textual description explains the 'namespace' and 'cluster' parameters, including the behavior when empty (e.g., 'empty = all namespaces'). This adds meaningful context beyond the schema structure.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists OpenShift Routes with specific columns (NAMESPACE, NAME, HOST/PATH, TLS, SERVICE, AGE) and specifies the API version (route.openshift.io/v1). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_route (which retrieves a single route) and delete_route.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description does not explicitly provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., get_route for details). The context implies a general listing use case, but no exclusions or recommendations are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It states the list operation and sorting order but omits details like read-only nature, permission requirements, pagination, or any side effects. This is insufficient for a fully transparent description.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence that conveys the core purpose without any extra words. It is front-loaded and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description covers the basic purpose. However, the lack of parameter explanation and behavioral details means the agent is left to guess about the 'cluster' parameter and potential constraints, making it only minimally complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has one optional parameter 'cluster' with a default value, but the description does not mention it at all. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to explain what the parameter does, its valid values, or how it affects results.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List'), the resource ('SecurityContextConstraints'), and the ordering ('sorted by priority descending'). It distinguishes itself from sibling list tools by specifying a unique resource type.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 like 'list_pods' or 'list_nodes'. The description lacks context on prerequisites or typical scenarios, leaving the agent to infer usage from the resource name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It explicitly states that secret values are never displayed, which is a critical safety trait. It also notes that only type and key count are shown, providing clear expectations. Some details like pagination or sorting are missing, but the key behavioral constraint is well communicated.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the core purpose and a critical safety note. Every word is necessary, and no extraneous information is present. It is efficiently structured for quick comprehension.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While an output schema exists (so return values need not be elaborated), the description lacks context on the optional parameters and how they filter results. It does not state default behavior (e.g., all clusters or all namespaces). For a tool with three parameters, the description is somewhat minimal but still covers the main action and safety.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for parameter meaning. However, the description does not mention any of the three parameters (cluster, namespace, label_selector), their purpose, or how they affect results. The parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory but not explicitly clarified.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'List' and the resource 'Secrets', and specifies that only type and key count are shown, distinguishing it from tools that might display values. However, it does not directly compare to sibling tools like get_secret_keys, so differentiation is implicit 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.
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 such as get_secret_keys or list_configmaps. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or when not to use it, leaving the agent to infer from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_service_accountsC
List ServiceAccounts with number of secrets and image pull secrets.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden. It only hints at return content (secrets count) but does not disclose read-only nature, permission requirements, side effects, or how results are paginated or scoped.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence with no fluff. Every word adds value, and it is front-loaded with the action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has two optional parameters and no annotations, the description fails to explain how cluster and namespace scope the results, or what the output schema contains. The presence of an output schema does not compensate for missing usage context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description omits any explanation of the two parameters (cluster, namespace). The agent cannot infer what values to pass or how they affect the listing without additional knowledge.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (List), the resource (ServiceAccounts), and what additional information is included (number of secrets and image pull secrets). This precisely defines the tool's purpose and distinguishes it from other list tools among siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 like list_users or list_roles. It lacks any mention of prerequisites (e.g., namespace, cluster selection) or contexts where it should not be used.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits like read-only status, authentication needs, rate limits, or pagination behavior. Only the output fields are listed, leaving the agent to infer safe usage.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded and succinct. However, it could be slightly expanded to include parameter hints without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema and the simplicity of the tool, the description covers the core purpose but lacks parameter explanations and usage guidance, making it merely adequate for a simple list operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has two parameters (cluster and namespace) with no descriptions (0% coverage). The description does not explain their meaning, purpose, or defaults, so it adds no value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies the verb 'List', the resource 'Istio ServiceEntries', and the fields returned ('hosts, location, ports, and age'). It distinguishes this tool from siblings like list_services (Kubernetes services) and list_virtual_services.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives, such as list_services or list_virtual_services. No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned.

| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It states the resource and included fields, but does not describe how cluster/namespace parameters affect results, whether the operation is read-only, or any side effects. It is a bare list statement with no deeper behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the action and resource, followed by a compact list of output fields. There is zero filler; every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The core action is clear and an output schema exists, so return values need not be described. However, the description omits how the optional cluster and namespace parameters interact with the list (e.g., does an empty default mean all namespaces?), leaving an ambiguity that could affect correct invocation. It is adequate but not fully complete for a tool with two filtering parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverageional, and the description does not even mention the cluster or namespace parameters. While the parameter names are self-explanatory, their default empty-string behavior and filtering semantics are left completely unexplained, so the agent must infer their usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('List') and names the exact resource ('ServiceMeshControlPlanes'), adding output fields (generation, version, readiness, age) that distinguish it from the sibling list_smcp_status. It is not a tautology and clearly conveys what the tool returns.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 like list_smcp_status or get_smcp_status. The description implies a basic listing operation but gives no context for selection among siblings, nor any mention of filtering or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided. The description states it lists items, but does not disclose behavioral traits such as read-only nature, potential side effects, or authorization requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence of 10 words. It is concise but could benefit from additional context without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema, the description could be minimal, but it fails to cover parameter usage or what the tool returns beyond the obvious. The description is incomplete for a tool with 2 undocumented parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description does not explain the purpose of 'cluster' and 'namespace' parameters, leaving the agent to guess whether they filter the results or specify scope.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists ServiceMeshMemberRolls and the namespaces enrolled in each mesh. It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools like list_namespaces or list_pods.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 does not mention contexts, prerequisites, or when not to use it.

| label_selector | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. 'List' implies a read-only operation, but the description does not explicitly state that it is non-destructive or safe. Listing fields gives some transparency, but lacks details on side effects 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is concise, one sentence plus parameter list. No wasted words. Structure could be slightly improved with clear sections, but it's effective and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present and only optional parameters, the description sufficiently covers the tool's purpose and parameter usage. Missing details like return format are covered by the output schema. Sufficient for a list tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description compensates by explaining each parameter: namespace (namespace to query), label_selector (to filter), cluster (target cluster). This adds meaning beyond the schema types.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description explicitly states 'List Services' and enumerates the fields displayed (NAMESPACE, NAME, TYPE, etc.), providing a clear verb+resource. It differentiates from sibling list tools (e.g., list_pods, list_namespaces) by focusing on services.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains how parameters affect scope (namespace=all namespaces, cluster=default). While it doesn't specify when not to use or alternatives, the tool's purpose is straightforward among sibling list tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
list_silencesB
List Alertmanager silences with ID, state, matchers, comment, creator, and end time.

| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It lists output fields but fails to mention that it is a read-only operation, whether it supports filtering (the cluster parameter is undocumented), pagination, or side effects. The lack of any behavioral context beyond output fields 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the action and resource. While it is clear, it could be slightly more structured (e.g., separate the parameter explanation from output fields). No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has one optional parameter and an output schema, the description partially covers the output but ignores the input parameter. For a simple list tool, this is minimally adequate but incomplete. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to explain return values, but the parameter gap remains.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the single parameter 'cluster'. The description only lists output fields, leaving the input parameter completely undocumented. Since the schema provides no help, the description should compensate but fails entirely.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly specifies the verb 'List', the resource 'Alertmanager silences', and enumerates the returned fields (ID, state, matchers, comment, creator, end time). It distinguishes this tool from all siblings, none of which relate to silences.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage (listing silences) but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusion criteria. Siblings like list_alerts exist but are distinct; however, no explicit direction is given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| application_name | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavior. It does not mention any destructive effects, authentication requirements, rate limits, or return format. The description is minimal and does not add behavioral context beyond the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately concise, though it could be more informative without significant expansion.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has three parameters, no annotations, and an output schema (not shown), the description is too sparse. It does not explain return values, filtering, or any constraints, making it incomplete for a tool with this complexity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the schema provides no parameter descriptions. The tool description does not explain any of the three parameters (cluster, namespace, application_name), leaving the agent without guidance on how to use them.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'list' and the resource 'Konflux Snapshots', and specifies that it includes components and integration test status. This distinguishes it from sibling list tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives, no prerequisites or exclusions. The description only implies usage for listing snapshots but lacks explicit context.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description does not disclose behavioral traits such as auth requirements, side effects, or performance impact. Only implies a read operation without explicit safety guarantees.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Very concise: one-line summary followed by a brief Args list. No unnecessary words or redundancy. Front-loaded with key purpose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers basic usage and parameter meaning, but lacks broader context like output format (despite having an output schema) or when to prefer this tool over related ones. Adequate but not thorough.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, but the description includes an 'Args' section explaining the purpose of each parameter (namespace, label_selector, cluster) beyond the schema's minimal titles. Adds meaningful context, though lacks examples or value constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states 'List StatefulSets' with specific output columns (NAMESPACE, NAME, READY, SERVICE, AGE). Distinguishes from sibling tools like list_pods or list_services by naming the exact resource.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides parameter definitions but no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like get_resource or list_custom_resources. No exclusion criteria or explicit context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| cluster | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 implies a read-only operation via 'List' but does not explicitly state that, nor does it disclose any permissions, side effects, or edge cases. The marking of the default is a nice behavioral detail but insufficient without 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is brief and well-structured, with two clear sentences. It is appropriately sized for a simple list operation, though it could incorporate more detail without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While an output schema exists (which may explain return values), the description lacks crucial context: it does not explain the cluster parameter, offer usage guidance, or mention any prerequisites. For a tool with an undocumented parameter and no annotations, this is incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has one parameter 'cluster' with zero description coverage. The description does not mention this parameter at all, leaving its meaning and format completely undocumented. The description fails to compensate for the schema's lack of information.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the specific resource 'StorageClasses', and adds a useful detail about marking the cluster default. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list_sccs or list_crds, which target different resource types.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any mention of the cluster parameter's role. The description provides no context for selection or prerequisites.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. It implies read-only via 'list' but does not explicitly state safety, side effects, or limitations (e.g., whether it requires cluster-wide access). Minimal disclosure.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single short sentence, but it omits necessary parameter details. Adequately concise but incomplete.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema implied, listing return fields is helpful. However, missing parameter explanation and usage context given many sibling tools makes it incomplete for effective tool selection.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%. The description does not mention the two parameters (cluster, namespace) at all, leaving the agent without guidance on how to use them, despite defaults being provided.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description states it lists OLM Subscriptions with specific fields (package, channel, source, current CSV, age), which is clear. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like list_installed_operators or list_catalog_sources, so slightly docked.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives like list_installed_operators or list_operator_groups. The description lacks context for appropriate usage or exclusions.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must cover behavioral traits. It only states that the tool lists TaskRuns with certain fields. There is no mention of read-only nature, pagination, authorization, rate limits, or side effects. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond what is assumed from the verb 'list'.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that efficiently communicates the primary action and output fields. No extraneous words. It is front-loaded with the key information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema (which may cover return values), the description lacks parameter explanations, usage context, and behavioral details. For a listing tool with three optional parameters, this is insufficient for an agent to use it effectively without further investigation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning the input schema provides no descriptions for the three parameters (cluster, namespace, label_selector). The tool description adds no information about these parameters, leaving the agent without guidance on their meaning or usage. This is a critical gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists Tekton TaskRuns and specifies output fields (task name, status, duration, age). The verb 'list' and resource 'Tekton TaskRuns' are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like list_tasks (which likely lists Task definitions) and get_pipeline_run (which gets a specific run). However, no explicit differentiation is provided.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives (e.g., list_tasks, get_pipeline_run). No prerequisites, filtering context, or conditions for use are mentioned. The purpose is implied but not explained.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It does not disclose side effects (likely read-only), permission requirements, or details about 'step count and age' beyond the name. Behavioral traits are partially implied but not explicit.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is minimal (5 words) and concise, but overly terse. It could include more detail without becoming verbose. Front-loaded with key purpose, but lacks structure.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the two optional parameters and existence of an output schema, the description does not explain the output format or how 'step count and age' are derived. It is insufficient for complete understanding of the tool's behavior.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the 'cluster' and 'namespace' parameters. No additional meaning is added beyond the schema; a baseline of 3 would require coverage >80%.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it lists Tekton Tasks with step count and age, distinguishing it from sibling 'list_task_runs'. However, it does not specify the scope (e.g., cluster/namespace) or clarify what 'age' means.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, filtering, or context like namespace/cluster scoping.

list_trigger_templatesB
List Tekton TriggerTemplates with template count and age.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. 'List' implies a read-only operation and the mention of template count and age gives some insight into what is returned. However, it does not explain scoping defaults, ordering, permission requirements, or whether the count/age is computed across the cluster or per namespace.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that contains no filler and immediately names the resource and the notable output fields. It is appropriately sized for a simple listing tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The presence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return values, and the tool is a straightforward list operation. Still, the complete absence of usage guidance and parameter explanation leaves meaningful gaps for an agent deciding how to scope the call.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain how 'cluster' or 'namespace' affect the results. While the parameter names are conventional, the description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation, leaving default behavior and filtering semantics unclear.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List') and the specific resource ('Tekton TriggerTemplates'), and adds the computed fields 'template count and age'. It is not a tautology and is easy to distinguish from many siblings like list_tasks or list_pipelines, though it does not explicitly call out the closest alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus other Tekton-related listing tools, and no mention of prerequisites or whether cluster/namespace filters are needed. The intended context must be inferred entirely from the tool name and the single sentence.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
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 indicates a read-only list operation, which is appropriate. However, it does not disclose potential side effects, performance, or the exact return format beyond the implicit listing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence that immediately conveys the tool's purpose. No extraneous words or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description adequately covers the tool's function. The only gap is the undocumented parameter, which reduces completeness slightly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The single parameter 'cluster' has no description in the schema (0% coverage) and is not explained in the description. The agent receives no guidance on how to use the cluster parameter, including its format or impact.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'list', the resource 'OpenShift users', and the scope 'with their identities and group memberships'. This distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_user' and 'list_clusters'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs alternatives (e.g., get_user, list_service_accounts). The description does not specify when not to use it or mention prerequisites.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise and to the point, with no wasted words. It achieves maximum efficiency for the information provided.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple with two optional parameters and an output schema (as indicated). The description covers the basic function but neglects to explain the filtering parameters, making it incomplete for effective use despite the output schema being present.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no information about the two parameters (cluster, namespace). While parameter names are somewhat self-explanatory, the description should explain their role as optional filters. This gap could confuse an AI agent.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists running VirtualMachineInstances and specifies the included fields (node, IP, phase). This distinguishes it from siblings like list_virtual_machines which likely list all VMs.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for listing running VM instances, but gives no explicit guidance on when to use this vs alternatives (e.g., list_virtual_machines, get_virtual_machine). No exclusions or context provided.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single succinct sentence with no unnecessary words. It front-loads the main action, but could benefit from structuring parameter info separately.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While an output schema exists, the description fails to explain parameter usage. Given the complexity of multiple optional filters and the presence of many sibling VM tools, the description is incomplete for effective tool selection and invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description adds no meaning to the parameters (cluster, namespace, label_selector). It does not explain their purpose or how they affect the listing.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists VirtualMachines and specifies the fields included (status, vCPU, memory, age). It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_virtual_machine which retrieves a single VM.

|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so the description must bear full burden. It only states 'List', implying a read operation, but does not disclose potential side effects, permission requirements, pagination, or default scope (e.g., all namespaces). The returned fields are mentioned, but deeper behavioral context is missing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, well-structured sentence of 14 words that front-loads the verb and resource, with no wasted words. Efficient and to the point.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list tool with two optional parameters and an output schema, the description covers the primary purpose and result fields. Missing are details on parameter effects and behavioral caveats, but overall adequate for straightforward usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain the parameters (cluster, namespace). It adds no meaning beyond the schema field names, leaving the agent to infer how to filter results.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'Istio VirtualServices', and specifies the returned fields (hosts, gateways, HTTP/TCP route counts, age), distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_services and other Istio resources.

|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, placing the full burden on the description. The description only states the listing behavior and fields returned, but does not disclose whether it is read-only, any authorization needs, or performance implications. The behavioral transparency is minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence of 10 words, which is concise but at the expense of necessary details. It is appropriately front-loaded but lacks explanations for parameters and usage context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that there is an output schema (not shown), the return values might be documented elsewhere. However, the description does not cover parameter semantics, pagination, or ordering. For a listing tool with two undocumented parameters, the description is incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has two parameters (cluster, namespace) with no default descriptions (0% coverage). The description does not explain what these parameters do or how they affect the results. The agent receives no additional meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool lists VirtualMachineSnapshots and mentions specific fields (phase, source VM, ready status). It distinguishes from siblings like list_volume_snapshots by naming a different resource type. However, it does not mention that the list can be filtered by cluster/namespace, which might be relevant for differentiation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 like list_volume_snapshots or get_virtual_machine. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or scenarios where this tool is preferred.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral aspects such as read-only nature, error conditions, or any side effects. Only states the listing action, leaving the agent to infer safety.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words, but it lacks essential information. Conciseness is good, but at the cost of completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity of a list tool with output schema, the description partially covers what is returned. However, it omits details on parameter usage, behavioral context, and filtering capabilities.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the description adds no meaning beyond the schema. The two parameters (cluster, namespace) are not explained; the description only mentions output fields, not input filtering.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly identifies the resource type (VolumeSnapshots) with API version, and lists the key fields returned (source PVC, class, ready status). Distinguishes from sibling tools like list_vm_snapshots and list_snapshots.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage for listing Kubernetes volume snapshots, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., list_snapshots for Konflux, list_data_volumes).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the behavioral burden. 'List' implies a read-only operation and the mention of update mode and target workload adds some output context, but it does not explicitly state side effects, scoping defaults, pagination, or permissions. It is minimally adequate but not thorough.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every word adds meaning by specifying the resource and the key output fields.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although the tool has an output schema, the description is too sparse for a tool with no annotations and undocumented parameters. It omits parameter semantics and usage guidance, leaving an agent to infer how to invoke it correctly. The low complexity of the tool and output schema prevent a score of 1, but meaningful gaps remain.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description does not mention the cluster or namespace parameters at all. An agent receives no explanation of how these parameters filter the listing, what empty values mean, or whether they are required. The description fails to compensate for the schema's lack of documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the resource (VerticalPodAutoscalers), the verb (List), and the distinguishing output fields (update mode and target workload). It differentiates well from sibling tools like list_hpas and get_vpa_recommendation by naming the exact resource and operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The intended use is implied by the verb and resource, but the description gives no explicit guidance on when to choose this over alternatives such as list_hpas or get_vpa_recommendation. There are no exclusions, prerequisites, or context cues beyond the basic listing action.

TDQS
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, but it only states the action. It does not mention whether migration is asynchronous, requires special permissions, can fail for certain VMIs, or what happens to the original instance.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence that is efficiently front-loaded with the action, resource, and destination. There is no filler or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Although an output schema exists and return values need not be described, the tool has no annotations, no parameter explanations, and no usage context. For a mutating operation that moves a running workload, this is too incomplete to guide correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not explain any of the three parameters. It does not clarify that name/namespace identify the VMI, nor what the optional cluster setting controls or how the target node is selected.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Live migrate') with a specific resource ('VirtualMachineInstance') and destination ('another node'). This clearly identifies the operation and differentiates it from sibling VM tools like start/stop/restart or drain_node.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided about when to use migration, what preconditions apply (e.g., VMI must be running, target node availability), or how it differs from related operations such as drain_node or stop/start. The agent must infer usage entirely from the tool name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
pause_machine_config_poolC
Pause a MachineConfigPool — prevents config updates from rolling out to nodes.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 implies a mutation (pause) but does not disclose side effects, reversibility, or what happens to ongoing updates. More context on behavior is needed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is concise and front-loaded with the key action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite the simplicity of the tool, the description lacks completeness. It does not explain the 'cluster' parameter, mention prerequisites, or describe the output schema. This forces reliance on the schema alone.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, and the description adds no information about parameters. The 'cluster' parameter's purpose is unexplained, leaving users to guess its role.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'pause' and the resource 'MachineConfigPool', and explains the effect ('prevents config updates from rolling out to nodes'). However, it does not explicitly distinguish from the sibling 'unpause_machine_config_pool', though the purpose is unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives (e.g., unpause_machine_config_pool). No prerequisites or context for when pausing is appropriate or when to avoid it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
pause_virtual_machineC
Pause a running VirtualMachine using virtctl.

| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure吠 but it only states the action and the virtctl mechanism. It does not describe what state the VM enters after pausing, whether the operation is reversible, or any side effects (e.g., compute is frozen, networking remains). No mention of unpause_virtual_machine as the inverse operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It communicates the core action efficiently, though almost to a fault, since it omits any additional guidance or context that would make the definition more useful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has three parameters and no annotations, and the description does not adequately compensate. It omits the meaning of 'cluster', does not mention the expected starting state beyond 'running', and does not provide any lifecycle context (e.g., how to resume with unpause_virtual_machine). The presence of an output schema is not enough to make the definition complete for an agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description provides no parameter information. The parameters name, cluster, and namespace are left completely unexplained, especially the meaning of 'cluster' in a potentially multi-cluster context or any defaults. The agent must guess the parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Pause') and resource ('running VirtualMachine') and names the underlying tool (virtctl). It is clear about what the tool doesholistically, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from siblings like stop_virtual_machine or restart_virtual_machine beyond the action itself.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description offers no guidance on when to choose pause over alternatives such as stop, restart, or unpause. It only implies a prerequisite by saying 'running', but does not explain the tradeoffs or ask the agent to consider unpause_virtual_machine as the complementary operation.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
query_prometheusA
Execute a PromQL instant query against Thanos Querier and return results as a table.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It does state that results are returned as a table, which is useful, but it does not mention auth requirements, timeout behavior, error handling, or how the cluster parameter affects execution.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, front-loaded sentence that contains no filler, tautology, or repetition. It efficiently communicates the action, backend, query type, and result format.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The core action and output format are covered, and an output schema exists to document return values. However, the description omits useful context around the cluster parameter and does not guide the agent toward the range-query sibling for time-series needs.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the two parameters. 'expr' is reasonably inferred as the PromQL expression, but the 'cluster' parameter is completely unexplained, including its default behavior when empty.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Execute') and names a precise resource ('PromQL instant query against Thanos Querier') plus the output form ('table'). The word 'instant' clearly differentiates it from the sibling tool query_prometheus_range.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The 'instant query' wording implies this is for point-in-time metric queries rather than range queries, but the description does not explicitly name query_prometheus_range or state when one should be chosen over the other. Usage guidance is implied rather than explicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
query_prometheus_rangeA
Execute a PromQL range query. start/end in ISO8601 or Unix timestamp; step e.g. '5m'.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
There are no annotations, so the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. 'Execute a PromQL range query' implies a read-only operation, and the time-format hints add some context. Still, it does not explicitly confirm read-only behavior, mention result size or limits, or describe what happens with an invalid expression. It is minimally sufficient for a query tool but not rich.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise and front-loaded: the action comes first, followed by only the most essential parameter format guidance. Every word earns its place, and there is no filler or repetition of schema titles.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With an output schema present and moderate tool complexity, the description covers the core temporal parameters and leaves step format clear. However, it omits any guidance on the expr parameter or the optional cluster parameter, and it does not differentiate from the instant-query sibling. It is adequate but has clear gaps that an agent may need to resolve.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds meaningful semantics for start/end (ISO8601 or Unix timestamp) and step (e.g. '5m'), which the schema does not provide. However, it leaves expr and cluster undocumented, so the compensation is incomplete for a 5-parameter tool.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Execute a PromQL range query.' The word 'range' distinguishes it from the sibling query_prometheus (presumably an instant query), and the mention of start/end/step clarifies the temporal nature. An agent can understand what the tool does without opening the schema.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use the tool by saying 'range query' and gives formatting hints for start/end and step. However, it does not explicitly compare against query_prometheus or list_prometheus_rules, and it provides no exclusions or conditions for when this tool should be preferred.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
refresh_gitops_applicationB
Force-refresh an ArgoCD Application by patching the argocd.argoproj.io/refresh annotation.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | openshift-gitops |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must carry the behavioral burden. It is explicit that this is a mutation ('patching') and identifies the exact annotation, which is more than a bare verb. However, it does not disclose consequences of a forced refresh, idempotency, or 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, front-loaded sentence that states the operation and mechanism with no redundant words. It is concise while carrying the most important semantic content.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple patch action, the description covers the core operation and an output schema exists, so return-value documentation is not required here. Still, the absence of any side-effect or alternative-tool context, especially the distinction from sync_gitops_application, leaves the agent with an incomplete picture for safe selection and invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain the parameters. It only implies that `name` targets the Application; `cluster` and `namespace` are left to their titles/defaults with no guidance on when to override them. The description fails to compensate for the schema gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description names a specific action ('Force-refresh'), the exact resource ('ArgoCD Application'), and the implementation mechanism ('patching the argocd.argoproj.io/refresh annotation'). This is enough to distinguish it from sibling operations like get_gitops_application or sync_gitops_application.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance about when to choose refresh over the related sync_gitops_application, nor any exclusions or prerequisites. The only usage hint is the verb itself, which does not help an agent choose among the GitOps siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
remove_scc_from_service_accountC
Revoke an SCC from a ServiceAccount via 'oc adm policy remove-scc-from-user'.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| scc_name | Yes | ||
| namespace | Yes | ||
| service_account | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description must disclose behavior. It only reveals the command name but does not mention mutation effects, error cases, or required permissions. Insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with no waste. However, it is so concise that it sacrifices essential details. For a simple tool it is acceptable, but could be improved.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema (unknown), the description lacks context about prerequisites, return values, side effects, and usage scenarios. Given the tool's complexity (4 params, mutation), it is incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% with no parameter descriptions. The description adds no parameter-level information. The command reference hints at argument mapping but is not explicit.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'revoke' and the resources 'SCC' and 'ServiceAccount'. It mentions the underlying command, providing specificity. It effectively differentiates from sibling 'add_scc_to_service_account'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives like 'add_scc_to_service_account' or 'list_sccs'. The agent is given no context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
remove_user_from_groupA
Remove a user from an OpenShift Group (atomic — uses oc adm groups remove-users).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| username | Yes | ||
| group_name | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral disclosure burden. It does add meaningful context by noting the operation is 'atomic' and uses 'oc adm groups remove-users', but it omits important traits such as permissions required, idempotency, or the impact of the user losing group access.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One tightly written sentence, verb-first, with effective parenthetical detail about atomicity and the underlying command. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The operation is low complexity and an output schema exists, so return-value details are not needed. However, with no annotations and no mention of prerequisites, mutation effects, or cluster semantics, the description is adequate but not fully complete for an agent invoking a mutating tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It implicitly explains username and group_name through the phrase 'Remove a user from an OpenShift Group' and the underlying command, but it leaves the cluster parameter entirely unexplained, which is a real gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb ('Remove'), a specific resource ('user'), and the target scope ('OpenShift Group'). This clearly distinguishes it from the sibling tools like add_user_to_group and list_groups without requiring the schema to be opened.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no guidance on when this tool should be used versus alternatives, and it does not name the obvious inverse sibling add_user_to_group. The parenthetical about the underlying oc command describes implementation, not selection criteria.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
restart_virtual_machineC
Restart a VirtualMachine using virtctl.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description lacks behavioral details beyond the verb 'Restart'. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., VM must be running), if it forces a reboot, or any side effects. With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, which it fails to meet.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that states the core action, so it is concise and front-loaded. However, it is overly brief and omits important details, making it minimally acceptable.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity of virtual machine management, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the restart behavior, prerequisites, or output. With no annotations and zero parameter coverage, the agent cannot reliably use the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description adds no information about the parameters (name, cluster, namespace). The agent must rely solely on parameter names and lack of descriptions, making it difficult to know what values to provide.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the verb 'Restart' and resource 'VirtualMachine', making the basic action clear. However, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like 'start' or 'stop', though the term 'restart' implies rebooting a running VM.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 such as start_virtual_machine or stop_virtual_machine. The agent is left to infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
restore_vm_snapshotC
Restore a VM from a VirtualMachineSnapshot.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| vm_name | Yes | ||
| namespace | Yes | ||
| restore_name | Yes | ||
| snapshot_name | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No behavioral traits disclosed beyond the bare action. This restore operation likely overwrites the VM, but description doesn't mention destructive nature, required permissions, or impact on current VM state. No annotations provided to compensate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence is very concise but lacks critical information. Not a model of efficiency; could include key details without much extra length.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the restore operation's complexity and 5 parameters, the description is insufficient. No mention of return values (output schema exists but not referenced) or side effects.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Zero parameter description: the input schema has 5 parameters but description adds no context on their meaning or usage. For example, 'restore_name' and 'snapshot_name' are not explained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the action: restore a VM from a VirtualMachineSnapshot. Verb 'restore' and resource 'VM from a VirtualMachineSnapshot' are specific and distinct from sibling tools like list_vm_snapshots or create_vm_snapshot.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives (e.g., create_vm_snapshot, list_vm_snapshots). No mention of prerequisites or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rollout_deployment_configC
Trigger a new rollout of an OpenShift DeploymentConfig (oc rollout latest dc/).
Args: name: DeploymentConfig name. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It states that it triggers a rollout, which implies mutation, but does not describe side effects (new ReplicationController, pod restarts), prerequisites (existence of the DeploymentConfig), or idempotency concerns. It lacks any detail on what happens on invocation or what the response contains.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, with a clear purpose statement followed by a compact parameter list. It is well structured and front-loaded with the core action. No redundant text.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the expected outcome, error conditions, or whether the command blocks or returns immediately. An agent lacks enough context to anticipate the effect or handle failures correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It does clarify 'name' as 'DeploymentConfig name' and 'cluster' as 'Named cluster to target (empty = default)', which adds some context beyond the schema. However, it does not explain formats, allowed values, or how cluster selection works. It partially compensates for the schema gap but not fully.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action: triggering a new rollout of an OpenShift DeploymentConfig, and even gives the equivalent oc command. The resource is specific (DeploymentConfig) and the verb is unambiguous. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like rollout_restart_deployment or rollout_status_deployment, though the resource type helps.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as rollout_restart_deployment, rollout_undo_deployment, or scale_deployment. No exclusions, prerequisites, or contextual hints are provided. The description simply states the operation without explaining the decision context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rollout_restart_deploymentB
Trigger a rolling restart of a Deployment (equivalent to 'oc rollout restart').
Args: name: Deployment name. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It mentions a rolling restart but does not disclose potential side effects (e.g., pod recreation, auth requirements, synchronicity). The reference to 'oc rollout restart' provides indirect knowledge but lacks explicit behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is extremely concise: one sentence plus a three-line argument list. Action is front-loaded, and every piece of information earns its place. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description is fairly complete for the core purpose. However, it omits details about what happens after triggering the restart (e.g., rollout status, error scenarios), which could be beneficial.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so description must compensate, but it only lists parameter names with defaults. No additional meaning or constraints are provided beyond what the schema titles imply. The defaults are helpful but insufficient for semantic clarity.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the action (trigger a rolling restart) and the resource (Deployment), and provides an equivalent command ('oc rollout restart'). No sibling tool with similar purpose, making it easily distinguishable.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Description does not explicitly guide when to use vs. alternatives (e.g., delete_pod, restart_virtual_machine). It only states the equivalent command, leaving usage context implicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rollout_status_deploymentA
Show the rollout status of a Deployment (equivalent to 'oc rollout status').
Args: name: Deployment name. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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. 'Show' implies a read-only operation, and the `oc rollout status` equivalence hints at CLI behavior, but it does not disclose whether the call blocks until rollout completion, how in-progress or failed rollouts are signaled, or any side effects. This is a meaningful gap for a command that may be long-running.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The main purpose is front-loaded, and the parameter documentation is a compact labeled list with no filler. Every sentence adds meaning or a default that is not otherwise obvious from schema titles.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read-only status tool with an output schema and only three flat parameters, the description gives enough to invoke it correctly. It does not explain the wait/blocking behavior or the relationship to rollout-control siblings, but the low complexity and output schema reduce the need for deeper context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the Arg list must carry the semantics, and it does: each parameter receives a concise explanation, including Deployment name, namespace default, and cluster target with empty-equals-default behavior. This fully compensates for the bare schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource, 'Show the rollout status of a Deployment,' and reinforces it with the `oc rollout status` equivalent. This makes the tool's purpose immediately distinguishable from siblings like rollout_restart_deployment, rollout_undo_deployment, and scale_deployment.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The intended use is implied by the status verb and resource: use it to inspect rollout progress for a Deployment. However, it never explicitly says when to prefer it over related rollout tools or how it relates to rollout_restart_deployment and rollout_undo_deployment, so the agent must infer the usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
rollout_undo_deploymentA
Undo a Deployment rollout, optionally to a specific revision.
Args: name: Deployment name. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). revision: Target revision number (0 = previous revision). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| revision | No | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only says 'Undo' and explains the revision parameter; it does not state that this mutates the Deployment's pod template, triggers a new rollout, or has potentially disruptive side effects. For a mutation operation this is a notable gap.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and well-structured: one clear purpose sentence followed by a minimal Args list. Every line contributes parameter information, with no redundant prose or filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simple parameter set and presence of an output schema, the description is minimally adequate for invocation. However, it lacks side-effect disclosure and any context about when undo is appropriate versus related rollout operations, which is important for a mutating cluster tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has no property descriptions (0% coverage), and the Args section fully compensates by explaining each parameter: Deployment name, namespace default, revision semantics ('0 = previous revision'), and cluster targeting. This adds real meaning beyond the raw schema's type/default declarations.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific action verb and resource: 'Undo a Deployment rollout'. This clearly distinguishes it from related sibling tools like rollout_restart_deployment or rollout_status_deployment, since 'undo' denotes a rollback operation rather than a restart or status check.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'Undo a Deployment rollout, optionally to a specific revision' implies the intended use case, but the description never explicitly says when to prefer this tool over alternatives, nor does it mention any prerequisites or exclusions such as requiring rollout history. Guidance is present but only implied.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
run_oc_commandA
Escape hatch: run any oc command. args is a space-separated string of arguments. WARNING: Use carefully. Destructive commands should be confirmed first.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Warns about destructiveness but lacks details on execution context, error handling, or output. No annotations to compensate.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences with key info front-loaded: purpose, parameter format, and a warning. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Minimal description for a powerful escape hatch. Lacks details on output, prerequisites, or behavior on failure.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Describes args as a space-separated string of arguments, adding value beyond schema. The cluster parameter is unexplained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it is an escape hatch to run any oc command, distinguishing it from the many specific sibling tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides explicit warning about destructive commands, implying cautious use, but does not specify when to prefer this over siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
scale_deploymentB
Scale a Deployment to the specified number of replicas.
Args: name: Deployment name. replicas: Desired replica count. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| replicas | Yes | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the desired end state (specified number of replicas) but does not disclose side effects such as pod termination on scale-down, the need for permissions, idempotency, or interaction with autoscalers.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and front-loads the core purpose in the first sentence. The Args list is concise and uses no filler, though it partially repeats schema information rather than adding substantial new detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers all four parameters and includes defaults for namespace and cluster, and an output schema exists to describe return values. However, it lacks usage context, prerequisite information, and any caveats about scaling behavior, making it adequate but not complete for an agent unfamiliar with Deployment scaling.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the schema's lack of parameter explanations. It adds some value by clarifying 'replicas' as desired replica count, 'cluster' as a named cluster target, and stating defaults for namespace and cluster. However, the parameter explanations are mostly surface-level glosses on the property names and lack deeper constraints or format details.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource: 'Scale a Deployment to the specified number of replicas.' This clearly identifies the operation and separates it from siblings like scale_statefulset or scale_machine_set by naming the Deployment resource explicitly.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided about when to choose this tool over alternatives such as scale_statefulset, scale_machine_set, or rollout_restart_deployment. There are no explicit conditions, exclusions, or recommendations for when this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
scale_machine_setA
Scale a MachineSet to the given number of replicas by patching spec.replicas. WARNING: Scaling down will cause machines (and their nodes) to be deleted.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits. It discloses the mutation (patching spec.replicas) and warns about destructive consequences when scaling down. This is good, though it could mention idempotency or auth requirements.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences with no superfluous content. The warning is appropriately placed and earns its keep.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the existence of an output schema (context signal), the description need not explain return values. However, it omits any mention of what happens when replicas equals current count or the effect of the optional cluster parameter. Adequate but not comprehensive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds minimal parameter meaning. It hints that replicas is the target count but does not explain 'name' or 'cluster'. The description does not compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool scales a MachineSet by patching spec.replicas. This is a specific verb and resource, and among sibling tools like list_machine_sets or delete_machine, scaling is distinct and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes a warning that scaling down causes deletion of machines and nodes, which advises caution. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like editing the MachineSet directly or using other scaling methods.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
scale_statefulsetA
Scale a StatefulSet to the specified number of replicas.
Args: name: StatefulSet name. replicas: Desired replica count. namespace: Namespace (default: "default"). cluster: Named cluster to target (empty = default).
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| replicas | Yes | ||
| namespace | No | default |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 only restates the intended action and parameter meanings; it does not mention side effects such as pod termination on scale-down, rollout behavior, wait/return semantics, or any permissions or prerequisites.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is compact and well-structured: one clear action sentence followed by a lean Args list. Every line adds information, and there is no filler or repetition that would burden the agent.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
All parameters are covered and an output schema exists, so the mechanical call is understandable. However, with no annotations and no description of behavior or side effects, the definition is not fully complete for an agent that needs to judge the impact of a mutating scale operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. The Args section documents all four parameters with concise meanings, including defaults for namespace and cluster, adding useful semantics beyond the bare property names in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb and resource: 'Scale a StatefulSet to the specified number of replicas.' This clearly identifies the action and target, and distinguishes it from sibling tools like scale_deployment and scale_machine_set without needing to inspect schemas.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The first sentence makes the intended use explicit: use this tool when scaling a StatefulSet. It does not mention alternatives or exclusions, but the resource name in the description makes the routing obvious among the many sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
start_buildC
Start a new build from a BuildConfig. Optionally supply from_dir to use a local directory as the binary source.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster | No | ||
| from_dir | No | ||
| namespace | No | default | |
| build_config_name | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It does not mention if the build is asynchronous, requires permissions, or returns a build ID. The description is minimal and omits important behavioral details.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded with core purpose. The second sentence adds optional usage detail. No unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool starts a build process, the description should mention expected behavior (e.g., asynchronous triggering, build output) but does not. An output schema exists, so return values are covered, but runtime behavior is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must add value. It explains 'from_dir' as an optional local directory for binary source, but does not clarify 'cluster' or 'namespace' roles. Partial compensation for low schema coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool starts a new build from a BuildConfig, with an optional local directory. This distinguishes it from listing, getting, or deleting builds. However, it does not explicitly contrast with sibling tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives like get_build or get_build_config. The description only mentions an optional parameter, not when to prefer other tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
start_notebookA
Start a stopped Notebook by removing the kubeflow-resource-stopped annotation.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
There are no annotations, so the description bears the full burden. It discloses the core state transition by naming the exact annotation to remove, but it does not mention what happens if the Notebook is already running, required permissions, or failure behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that front-loads the action and follows with the precise mechanism. No filler or redundant information is present.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, and the description gives the target state and exact annotation needed. With an output schema present, return values are already covered; the main gap is the lack of parameter semantics and edge-case behavior, which are minor for this operation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, and the description does not mention name, namespace, or cluster at all. An agent must infer parameter meaning from the raw field names, and the description adds no parameter-level value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb and resource ('Start a stopped Notebook') and explains the mechanism ('removing the kubeflow-resource-stopped annotation'). This precisely distinguishes it from sibling tools like stop_notebook and list_notebooks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description clearly establishes the applicable condition: the tool is used when a Notebook is stopped. It does not explicitly name alternatives or exclusions, but the context is unambiguous enough for an agent to decide when to call it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
start_pipeline_runB
Start a Tekton PipelineRun. params is a comma-separated list of KEY=VALUE pairs.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| params | No | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | No | default | |
| pipeline_name | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the behavioral disclosure burden. It only states "Start" and the params format, without mentioning whether this creates a cluster resource, whether it waits for completion, required permissions, or failure behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two compact sentences with no filler. The primary action is front-loaded and the parameter syntax note earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a mutation tool with no annotations and 0% schema parameter coverage, this is too thin. It omits prerequisites such as the target pipeline needing to exist, how cluster and namespace are used, and behavioral effects; the output schema covers return values but not invocation guidance.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It usefully clarifies that params is a comma-separated KEY=VALUE list, but it does not explain pipeline_name, cluster, or namespace beyond what their names and defaults in the schema already imply.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
"Start" is a specific action verb and "Tekton PipelineRun" is a specific resource, so the core purpose is immediately clear. The active verb also distinguishes this from sibling tools like list_pipeline_runs, get_pipeline_run, and cancel_pipeline_run.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description says what the tool does but gives no conditions, prerequisites, or explicit guidance about when to choose it over alternatives. The only operational hint is the params formatting, which is not usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
start_virtual_machineB
Start a VirtualMachine by setting spec.running=true.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description discloses the core behavior (setting spec.running=true) but does not elaborate beyond that. No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It lacks details about side effects, required permissions, or expected state of the VM before starting.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, well-structured sentence with no unnecessary words. It front-loads the action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has an output schema (implied), the description still lacks contextual completeness. It does not explain the required state of the VM before starting, error conditions, or parameter usage. The 0% schema coverage and missing guidance on when to use the tool make it insufficient for an AI agent to invoke correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has three parameters (name, cluster, namespace) with 0% description coverage in the schema. The description does not mention any of these parameters, adding no meaning beyond the raw schema. This fails to compensate for the lack of schema descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Start' on the resource 'VirtualMachine' and specifies the mechanism 'by setting spec.running=true'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like stop_virtual_machine, restart_virtual_machine, and unpause_virtual_machine.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (e.g., restart_virtual_machine). The usage is implied by the verb 'start', but there are no prerequisites, preconditions, or warnings about when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
stop_notebookC
Stop a running Notebook by setting the kubeflow-resource-stopped annotation.

| name | Yes | ||
| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states the action (setting an annotation) but does not mention side effects, idempotency, whether it requires specific permissions, or what happens if the notebook is already stopped.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but may be too brief given the lack of parameter context. Every word serves purpose but more detail is needed.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool is simple, but with 3 parameters undocumented and no output described, the description is incomplete. An agent cannot determine required inputs or expected results beyond the basic action.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameter meanings. It mentions no parameters, leaving name, namespace, and cluster entirely unexplained. This is insufficient for an agent to fill them correctly.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool stops a running notebook and specifies the mechanism (setting a kubeflow-resource-stopped annotation). This provides a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_notebooks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 alternatives, no prerequisites like requiring the notebook to be running, and no mention of when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
stop_virtual_machineB

| cluster | No | ||
| namespace | Yes |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only repeats the basic action without explaining side effects (e.g., whether the VM is gracefully shut down, if there's data loss risk, or if it's synchronous). Critical behavioral context is missing.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single, well-structured sentence that immediately conveys the core action and mechanism. No unnecessary words or repetition; highly efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not address the stopping workflow (e.g., is the operation async?), success indicators, or potential edge cases. For a potentially impactful operation, this is insufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate but fails to explain any parameters. While 'name' and 'namespace' are somewhat obvious from the schema, the optional 'cluster' parameter is not mentioned, and the description adds no value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Stop'), the resource ('VirtualMachine'), and the specific mechanism ('by setting spec.running=false'), making it highly unambiguous. It effectively distinguishes this tool from sibling tools like start_virtual_machine or restart_virtual_machine.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 (e.g., when to stop vs. unpause or shut down). There is no mention of prerequisites, safety considerations, or conditions under which stopping is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions a mutation ('patching'), but does not explain side effects, required permissions, or whether the operation is destructive. The description is too brief to provide adequate transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is front-loaded with the action and mechanism. No unnecessary words; highly concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 5 parameters, 0% schema coverage, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain return values (output schema exists but unmentioned), parameter purposes, or usage context. More detail is needed for adequate completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on any of the 5 parameters (name, prune, cluster, dry_run, namespace). The agent receives no additional meaning beyond the parameter names and types.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'trigger a sync', the resource 'ArgoCD Application', and the mechanism 'by patching the operation field'. It distinguishes from siblings like get_gitops_application by indicating it triggers an action.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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, nor any prerequisites or conditions. The description is purely declarative of the action.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only states the effect ('allow new pods to be scheduled'). Lacks details on permissions, idempotency, or error conditions. Basic but not comprehensive.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence of 12 words, front-loaded with the verb and resource. No redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (2 params, sibling tools), the description is minimal. It covers the core action but lacks parameter details and behavioral context needed for confident use.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no information about the parameters 'name' or 'cluster'. Agent cannot infer what values to provide.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Uncordon' and resource 'node', clearly indicating the action. It distinguishes from the sibling tool 'cordon_node' by implying the opposite operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs alternatives. The context of the sibling 'cordon_node' implies usage after a cordon, but no when-not-to or prerequisites are stated.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
unpause_machine_config_poolB
Unpause a MachineConfigPool — allows pending config updates to roll out to nodes.

TDQS
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 only mentions allowing updates to roll out, but does not disclose permissions, side effects, or state changes beyond that.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with front-loaded verb. Every word earns its place, but could be slightly more structured (e.g., including a note about parameters).
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given a simple action and presence of output schema, the description is adequate but lacks prerequisites (e.g., pool must be paused first) and error handling context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and the description does not explain any parameters. The 'name' and 'cluster' parameters are not mentioned, leaving the agent without guidance on their meaning or usage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the verb 'unpause', the resource 'MachineConfigPool', and the effect 'allows pending config updates to roll out to nodes'. It is distinct from the sibling tool 'pause_machine_config_pool'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives, but the context implies it is the inverse of 'pause_machine_config_pool'. Lacks when-not conditions or alternative suggestions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
unpause_virtual_machineC
Unpause a paused VirtualMachine using virtctl.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as preconditions (e.g., VM must be paused), state changes, permissions, or error handling. The agent has no behavioral clues beyond the minimal action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single brief sentence, which is concise but lacks necessary detail. It could be expanded without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool complexity (mutation, requires virtctl), the description is too minimal. It does not mention return values, side effects, or any additional context that would help an agent use it correctly. The presence of an output schema does not relieve the description of providing behavioral completeness.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 3 parameters (name, cluster, namespace) with no descriptions. The description does not explain any parameter meaning, default values, or constraints. With 0% schema description coverage, the description completely fails to compensate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action (unpause) and the resource (paused VirtualMachine), and mentions using virtctl. It is specific and distinct from sibling tools like start_virtual_machine or stop_virtual_machine.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 vs alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. It simply states the action without usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
update_configmapC
Set or update a single key in a ConfigMap using strategic merge patch.

| result | Yes |
TDQS
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 says 'set or update' and 'strategic merge patch' but does not mention potential side effects, whether a missing ConfigMap is created, whether other keys are preserved, permission requirements, or idempotency. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. It communicates the essential action, resource scope, and method efficiently.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Even though an output schema exists, the description lacks crucial context needed to safely call the tool: usage conditions, behavior around existing versus missing keys, side effects, and parameter semantics. Given no annotations and a low-information schema, this is incomplete for safe invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, yet the description adds no meaning for parameters beyond the word 'key'. It does not explain what name, namespace, value, or cluster represent, nor the effect of the default cluster value. The description fails to compensate for the schema's complete lack of descriptions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Set or update') and resource ('a single key in a ConfigMap'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_configmap, create_configmap, and delete_configmap. Mentioning 'strategic merge patch' adds technical precision about the update mechanism.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as create_configmap or delete_configmap. The description implies modification of an existing ConfigMap key but does not state exclusions, prerequisites, or conditions that would route an agent here.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 216 tools
Every tool name includes a specific action and resource type (e.g., list_pods, get_pod, scale_deployment), making each tool's purpose clear and distinct. Even with 216 tools, the consistent naming prevents ambiguity, and generic escape hatches like run_oc_command are explicitly labeled.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (list_, get_, create_, delete_, scale_, rollout_*, etc.), with resource types as the noun. Deviations like apply_manifest and get_resource still adhere to the same structure, ensuring predictability.
216 tools is extreme and far exceeds any reasonable scope for an MCP server. Even for a comprehensive OpenShift management platform, this count is overwhelming and will likely confuse agents, making tool selection difficult. It falls into the 'extreme mismatch' category.
The tool set covers an extensive range of OpenShift domains including compute, networking, storage, security, operators, machine management, monitoring, service mesh, OpenShift AI, virtualization, GitOps, Tekton, and ACM. However, some resource types lack individual get/update/delete operations (e.g., Deployments have no get or delete), relying on generic tools like get_resource and delete_resource, creating minor gaps.
