Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct resource or action, with clear boundaries even among similar functions like manage_windows, interact, and set_text, which focus on different aspects of UI management.
Naming Consistency4/5Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern or use the 'manage_' prefix, though a few like 'docs', 'gsettings', and 'packages' are noun-only, introducing minor inconsistency.
Tool Count4/5With 24 tools, the set is slightly large but still scoped appropriately for a comprehensive system management server, avoiding unnecessary bulk.
Completeness5/5The tools cover a broad range of system management tasks including networking, storage, security, containers, VMs, UI automation, and gaming, leaving few obvious gaps for the intended domain.
Average 2.9/5 across 24 of 24 tools scored. Lowest: 2/5.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.
How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Mentions 'dangerous flag blocking' but provides no details on what that entails, nor on destructive actions like rm. No annotations to supplement, so the description 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.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single short sentence, but it sacrifices informativeness for brevity. It does not earn its place as it fails to add significant value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with 4 parameters, 0% schema description, no annotations, and a potentially complex output, the description is severely incomplete. Agent would struggle to use it correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does 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 4 parameters. The action enum is listed but not explained.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose3/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states it runs podman container operations, but 'Run' is misleading because actions include stop, rm, etc. It does not distinguish from sibling tools like manage_distrobox or manage_quadlet.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like manage_distrobox or manage_quadlet. No context on prerequisites or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'read or write' without detailing side effects, permissions, or error cases. Critical information like state changes or required privileges 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.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is excessively brief (6 words). While concise, it omits necessary details and does not earn its place by providing meaningful guidance. A single sentence that lists the parameters or usage examples would be more helpful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema present (reducing burden), the description still lacks context for parameter usage and behavioral expectations. It does not cover return value semantics or common use cases, making 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.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description provides no explanation of the four parameters (action, schema, key, value), leaving the agent to infer from names alone. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to add meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool reads or writes a gsettings value, specifying the verb and resource. It is distinct from sibling tools which cover different domains (e.g., system_doctor, packages). However, it could explicitly mention that it targets GNOME settings for added clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use get vs set, prerequisites, or when alternative tools might be more appropriate. The description simply states the function without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Without annotations, the description carries the burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions 'rollback' which implies a destructive action, but does not detail any side effects, permissions required, or safety considerations. The query action's behavior (e.g., what is logged, time range) is also unspecified.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise but insufficiently informative for a tool with 5 parameters and two distinct operations. It front-loads the main actions but omits critical details, making it under-specified rather than efficiently structured.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity—two actions, five parameters, and an output schema—the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain the audit log scope, rollback mechanics, pagination, or filtering. Even though an output schema exists, the description adds no context about return values.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description must explain parameters. It only implicitly references the 'action' parameter by naming the two enum values. The other four parameters (action_id, tool, search, limit) are entirely unexplained, leaving an agent unable to construct valid requests.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states two primary actions: 'Query audit log or rollback a previous action.' It uses specific verbs and indicates the resource (audit log) and the rollback operation. However, it does not differentiate this tool from sibling tools, but the name 'audit' is distinct enough among the listed siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor when to choose 'query' over 'rollback'. No usage context or prerequisites are provided, which limits an agent's ability to select the tool appropriately.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must fully convey behavioral traits but fails to do so. It does not mention whether the action is destructive, if the field must be visible or editable, what permissions are needed, or any 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.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely brief (one sentence) but lacks structure. It does not front-load key details like parameter explanations or usage constraints. Conciseness here sacrifices necessary completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite an output schema being indicated, the description does not clarify return values or side effects. There is no mention of prerequisites, error handling, or behavior when the field is not editable. For a tool with 3 required params and no annotations, this is severely incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does 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 'window', 'element', or 'text'. The tool's name and 'via AT-SPI' hint at usage, but the parameters remain unexplained, leaving ambiguity about their values.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'set', the resource 'text content of an editable field', and the method 'via AT-SPI', making the tool's purpose immediately understandable and distinct from siblings like 'interact' or 'send_input'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'interact' for broader automation). The description lacks any context about prerequisites or scenarios where this tool is inappropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It only indicates read-like operations (search, return), but fails to mention any potential side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits. The description 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, concise and front-loaded with purpose. However, it may be too short to be informative, bordering on under-specification rather than efficient conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 5 parameters, zero schema descriptions, and an output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It does not explain how to use parameters or what the return values are, leaving the agent to guess.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. However, it does not mention any parameters (action, query, version, count, ctx) or their roles. The only hint is the action enum values, which align with the description but add no additional meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses specific verbs 'Search' and 'return' and identifies two distinct modes (search local knowledge, return changelog sources). It clearly states what the tool does and differentiates between the two actions, though no explicit sibling 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.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 like 'system_info' or 'system_doctor'. The description simply states the tool's capabilities without context on appropriate use cases or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It only states 'manage' and 'view' without disclosing that actions like delete, modify, up, and down can have destructive effects or require specific permissions. The absence of behavioral details leaves the agent uninformed about side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single sentence that starts with the main purpose ('Manage NetworkManager connections') achieves front-loading. However, it is so brief that it sacrifices useful detail, making it minimally acceptable rather than optimally concise.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 3 parameters, 0% schema coverage, an output schema (not detailed), and many sibling tools, the description is extremely incomplete. It fails to explain how to perform various actions, what the output contains, or any constraints. This leaves an AI agent with insufficient information for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does 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 parameters (action, name, properties). The enum values are listed in the schema but the description adds no meaning about how to use them, such as what values for properties or how name interacts with actions.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Manage NetworkManager connections and view network status', specifying the resource and an action. It distinguishes from siblings like manage_firewall and manage_vm, which target different system resources. However, it could be more specific by listing the actual actions supported (e.g., up, down, modify).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Siblings exist for network-related tasks (e.g., manage_firewall) but the description does not provide criteria for choosing manage_network. It neither includes when-not-to-use nor mentions prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations, so description carries full burden. It only says 'manage,' which is generic. Does not disclose potential destructive actions (e.g., delete, start/stop) 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.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise (11 words), but too sparse to be useful. Conciseness is not beneficial when it omits essential information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema, the description provides no detail. The tool is complex with many actions and parameters; the description alone is insufficient for correct invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and description does not mention any parameters. For 9 parameters including an enum with 13 values, this is a critical gap.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly identifies the tool's domain: managing VMs. It adds specificity with 'hardened default profile support,' distinguishing it from sibling tools like manage_distrobox. However, it could be more precise about supported operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites or exclusions. The description is too minimal to inform selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the behavioral burden. It fails to disclose side effects, required permissions, or behavior of the 'run' action beyond a generic verb. The description adds 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.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise. However, it is overly brief and lacks crucial details, sacrificing completeness for brevity. It earns its place but could be more informative.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 3 parameters, an output schema, and no parameter descriptions, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what ujust is, how filters work, or what the output contains. The output schema exists but still requires contextual explanation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0% and the description does not explain any parameters. While 'run', 'list', and 'show' correspond to the action enum, the 'command' and 'filter' parameters are left entirely undefined, adding no value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Run, list, or inspect ujust commands' clearly states the tool's purpose, identifying the resource (ujust commands) and the three possible actions. It is specific and distinguishes from sibling tools which have different functions.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus other sibling tools. There is no mention of prerequisites, limitations, or 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.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavior but only lists actions without detailing side effects (e.g., that 'enter' requires a running container, or that 'remove' is irreversible). This lack of transparency could lead to misuse.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single 12-word sentence that efficiently states the purpose and lists actions. It front-loads the key information. However, it could be slightly more detailed without becoming verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of sibling tools for other container systems and a non-trivial input schema with 5 parameters, the description is too minimal. It does not explain what Distrobox is or how to select this tool over others, leaving gaps for an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0% description coverage, and the description adds no parameter-specific information. For example, it does not explain that 'name' refers to the container name, 'image' is needed for create, or 'command' for exec. The agent must infer from the action enum.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool manages distrobox containers and lists specific actions (create, list, enter, etc.), making the purpose clear. However, it could be more specific about what 'manage' entails, as the actions are somewhat generic.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus similar sibling tools like manage_podman or manage_quadlet. The description does not specify prerequisites or scenarios for specific actions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must bear the full burden. It only states the operation mechanism but does not disclose side effects (e.g., state changes on 'activate') or permissions needed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very short and to the point, but it omits necessary details for a multi-param tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 0% schema coverage and an output schema (not shown), the description is incomplete; it lacks parameter explanations and output details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, yet the description only mentions the 'action' enum values. Parameters 'window' and 'depth' are unexplained, requiring the agent to infer from names.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states three actions (list, activate, inspect) targeting windows via KWin/AT-SPI, making the purpose evident. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'interact' that may also involve windows.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidelines are provided on when to use this tool versus others. The description simply lists actions without context or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose side effects, immediate changes, or permissions. Only states 'switch,' which is insufficient. Missing details on whether changes persist or require reboot.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence is concise and front-loaded, but for a tool with 4 parameters and no schema descriptions, it is too terse. Lacks essential detail without being wasteful.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Incomplete given 4 parameters, no schema descriptions, and sibling tools. Does not explain parameter interplay or output schema. Leaves many practical questions unanswered.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage. Description maps setting enum to categories but fails to explain mode, device, or profile parameters and their applicability to different settings.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it switches theme, audio output, or power profile, with a specific verb and resources. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like display_config or gsettings, which may overlap.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Missing when to apply optional parameters like mode, device, or profile. The description lacks context for usage decisions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description bears full burden but does not disclose behavioral traits like synchronization, error handling, required element visibility, or return values. The mention of AT-SPI hints at accessibility, but no specifics.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with a specific verb and resource, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema and lacking annotations, the description does not address return values, prerequisites, or error behavior. It is insufficient for a UI interaction tool with no other structured metadata.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does 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 beyond parameter names. It does not explain what 'window' and 'element' refer to (e.g., names, roles, or identifiers) or list valid actions beyond the default 'Press'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it performs an action on a UI element using the AT-SPI accessibility API, which distinguishes it from siblings like send_input or set_text. However, it does not list example actions, making it slightly less specific.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as send_input, set_text, or manage_windows. No context about prerequisites like AT-SPI being enabled.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Mentions audit logging and reload, providing some behavioral context beyond the schema. No annotations exist, so description carries the full burden but remains minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Very short and to the point, but lacks necessary detail. Each part earns its place but leaves significant gaps.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 3 parameters (1 required, 5 enum actions), no output schema details, and no usage guidance, the description is incomplete for an agent to effectively use the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters1/5Does 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 parameters; it does not explain what 'action', 'port', or 'service' mean or how they relate.

Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives 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.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description does not disclose behavioral traits such as side effects, required dependencies (e.g., Steam installation), or what each action does beyond the enum values in the schema.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence lacks structure and detail; important information about actions and parameters is missing.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema (not provided), the description omits return behavior, full action semantics, and parameter usage, making it incomplete for a tool with 5 parameters and multiple actions.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to explain parameters like app_id, name_filter, mangohud, or launch_options beyond the enum listing.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool manages Steam library, ProtonDB/PCGamingWiki reports, and per-game settings, which is specific and distinct from sibling tools like audit or system_info.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites or exclusions provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description implies potential destructive actions (install, remove, update) but does not disclose permissions, side effects, reversibility, or output behavior. Without annotations, the description bears full burden and fails to provide sufficient transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
