  • Latest release: v2.0.0

  • Disambiguation4/5

    Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is some overlap among chat variants (e.g., gemini_chat, gemini_chat_multi, gemini_chat_with_tools) and analysis tools (e.g., analyze_pdf vs. summarize). Descriptions help, but an agent might occasionally select the wrong tool.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow the consistent pattern 'gemini_verb_noun' (e.g., gemini_analyze_audio, gemini_list_files). The naming is uniform and predictable, making it easy for an agent to infer tool purposes.

    Tool Count4/5

    23 tools cover a broad range of capabilities. While the count is slightly high, each tool serves a distinct function within the Gemini ecosystem. A few similarities exist, but overall the scope is justified.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool set covers all major Gemini features: multimodal analysis, chat variants, file management, embeddings, code execution, search, structured output, and more. There are no obvious gaps for typical use cases.

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?

    With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It only lists high-level capabilities (transcribe, summarize, describe) without covering potential side effects, permissions, rate limits, or output format. This is insufficient for an AI agent to understand the tool's full behavior.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single, concise sentence that is front-loaded with the tool's purpose. It is appropriately brief, though could benefit from a structured breakdown of capabilities.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given no output schema and no annotations, the description should provide details on return values, output format, or processing duration. It lacks completeness for a tool that performs multiple analysis tasks, leaving the agent without critical usage context.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The input schema has 100% description coverage for all three parameters (model, prompt, audioPath). The tool description adds minor context for the prompt parameter by mentioning the default, but does not significantly enhance understanding beyond the schema.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool analyzes audio files with Gemini, listing three capabilities (transcribe, summarize, describe). It distinguishes from sibling tools like gemini_analyze_image by specifying audio, but could be more precise about the analysis scope.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like gemini_analyze_video or gemini_analyze_youtube. The description lacks context for preferred 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?

    The description does not disclose side effects (e.g., whether files are stored, if results are cached) or authentication requirements. With no annotations, the description should clarify that this is a read-only operation, but it only says 'Analyze' without elaboration.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is extremely concise (2 sentences, 21 words) with no redundant information. Every sentence contributes to understanding the tool's core functionality.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the tool's complexity (4 params, no output schema, no annotations), the description is too brief. It fails to explain what 'analyze' means, what the output looks like, or how errors are handled. The 100MB limit is a useful constraint but missing other context like rate limits.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are documented. The description adds minimal extra context beyond the schema, essentially restating the URL types. No parameter defaults or usage details are provided.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool analyzes files from URLs (HTTP/HTTPS/GCS) and lists supported file types. However, it does not differentiate itself from sibling tools like gemini_analyze_youtube or gemini_analyze_image, which may also analyze URLs for specific media types.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus specialized siblings (e.g., gemini_analyze_audio for audio files). No prerequisites, constraints, or when-not-to-use advice 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?

    With no annotations, the description must disclose behaviors like source auto-detection, model default, latency, or API requirements. It only repeats the basic purpose, leaving significant behavioral gaps for 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.

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is one sentence, which is efficient. However, it could include a bit more detail without becoming verbose. The structure is front-loaded but too brief.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    The tool has 4 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations. The description fails to mention return value (text translation), error handling, or language format (code vs name). It is incomplete for the given complexity.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no extra semantics beyond the schema's parameter descriptions, nor does it clarify format or usage for parameters like targetLanguage.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states the action (translate), the resource (text), and the goal (to a target language) using the Gemini model. It is distinct from sibling tools, which are primarily analytical or chat-based, so no confusion arises.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., gemini_chat for translation) or when not to use it. The description lacks context such as prerequisites or scenarios where auto-detection might fail.

    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 description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions direct fetching but omits important details like authentication needs, rate limits, or potential side effects. This is insufficient for a tool that makes network requests.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    Two sentences, no wasted words. However, lacks structured formatting (e.g., bullets) that could improve scanability for an agent.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given three parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too brief. It does not explain the return format, error handling, or how this tool compares to similar siblings. Incomplete for reliable agent use.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds useful info that URLs in the prompt are auto-detected, but does not enrich the other parameters beyond schema. Minimal added value.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    Description clearly states the tool analyzes one or more URLs using Gemini, with direct fetching. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like gemini_analyze_url, partially impacting clarity.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Sibling tools with similar names exist but are not mentioned, leaving the agent to infer usage on its own.

    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, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as execution environment, timeout, side effects, or what happens to generated code. For a code execution tool, this is a significant omission.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is concise and well-structured, though more detail could be included without sacrificing conciseness.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the complexity of code execution (potential for errors, resource usage, output handling), the description lacks critical context. No output schema or return value explanation is provided, and behavioral traits are absent. The description is inadequate 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.

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are already described. The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema. The model parameter default is noted but not elaborated, and the prompt parameter is simply restated.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool generates and executes code using Gemini's built-in capability, with a specific verb (generate and execute) and resource (code). It distinguishes from sibling tools like gemini_chat or gemini_analyze_image which do not involve code execution.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of when code execution is appropriate, prerequisites, or situations where other tools like gemini_chat or gemini_structured_output might be preferred.

    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 carry full behavioral burden. It only states 'Delete a file' without disclosing permanence, irreversibility, or potential side effects (e.g., cascading deletions). This is insufficient for a destructive operation.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    Single sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately concise for a simple operation, though additional context could be added without becoming verbose.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the lack of output schema and annotations, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what the result of deletion is (e.g., confirmation, error codes) or whether the file must exist. For a destructive action, more context is needed.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so the parameter is already documented. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, meeting the baseline of 3.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description explicitly states 'Delete a file from the Gemini Files API', clearly identifying the verb (delete), resource (file), and API context. It distinguishes well from sibling tools like upload and list.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., after confirming file is no longer needed). No prerequisites or exclusions are mentioned, leaving the agent with only implied usage.

    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 carries full burden but only says 'Get structured JSON output'. It does not disclose failure modes (e.g., invalid schema), response format beyond structured JSON, authentication needs, or rate limits. 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.

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single sentence with no filler. It is front-loaded and efficient, though adding a brief example or usage tip could improve it without significant bloat.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    No output schema is provided, so the description should explain the return value (e.g., JSON object conforming to the schema). It also lacks usage context (e.g., compare to gemini_chat for structured output). Incomplete for a tool with 3 parameters and no output schema.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides (model, prompt, jsonSchema). It does not clarify expected JSON schema format or constraints.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Get structured JSON output from Gemini using a provided JSON schema'. The verb 'get' and the specific resource 'structured JSON output' distinguish it from sibling tools like gemini_chat (free-form text) or gemini_embed (embeddings).

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as gemini_chat or when not to use it. There is no mention of prerequisites, fallback options, or comparison to sibling tools.

    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 the description must carry the burden. It does not disclose any behavioral traits such as destructiveness, authentication needs, rate limits, or output format. The description is too minimal.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is a single short sentence that directly states the tool's purpose with no redundancy. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given no output schema and no annotations, the description is insufficient. It does not explain return values, error handling, prerequisites (e.g., file must exist), or limitations. More context is needed for an agent to use this tool effectively.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds context about possible tasks (describe, summarize, extract info) but does not add detailed parameter semantics beyond the schema.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description 'Analyze a video file with Gemini (describe, summarize, extract info)' clearly states the action (analyze), the resource (video file), and the possible operations. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like analyze_audio or analyze_image.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., analyze_youtube, analyze_url). It only describes what the tool does without specifying 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.

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, and the description lacks behavioral traits such as auth needs, rate limits, or side effects. It only states the core function, leaving the agent without transparency on what happens beyond generation.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single sentence, concise and to the point. However, it could include more context without becoming wordy, so slightly above average.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    With 2 parameters and no output schema, the description is complete enough for a simple embedding tool but lacks details on output format or embedding dimensions, leaving some gaps for the agent.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, and both parameters are described in the schema. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool generates text embeddings using a Gemini embedding model, which is a specific verb+resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools that focus on analysis, chat, or other tasks.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to choose a different model or when not to use embeddings. No context on prerequisites or limitations.

    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 fully disclose behavioral traits. It only states it lists files but does not mention that it is read-only, whether it requires authentication, or any details about pagination or rate limits. The parameter 'pageSize' hints at pagination but is not explained.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single, clear sentence that is front-loaded and efficient. It could be slightly expanded to include behavioral details without becoming verbose, but it is appropriately sized for a simple tool.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    Given the tool's simplicity (one optional parameter, no output schema), the description is adequate but lacks details about the return value (e.g., list of file objects, metadata). It covers the basic purpose but leaves out context about what the output contains.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%; the parameter 'pageSize' is described in the schema as 'Number of files to list (default: 20)'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the verb 'List', the resource 'files', and the context 'Gemini Files API'. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like gemini_upload_file and gemini_delete_file by specifying it lists files.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus others, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. There is no mention of alternatives or context for appropriate use.

    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, placing full burden on the description. The description only states the action and technology, without disclosing behavioral traits such as return format, file reading behavior, supported formats, or model defaults. This is insufficient for an agent to understand side effects or expectations.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single sentence that is efficient and front-loaded with the core action. However, it could be slightly more informative without becoming verbose, earning a 4 for being concise yet somewhat minimal.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the tool has no output schema and no annotations, the description is incomplete. It fails to explain what the output is (e.g., text description, confidence scores), any constraints (e.g., file size limits), or how the result is returned. Essential context is missing.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The tool description adds no additional context about parameters beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., defaults, meaning of 'prompt'). It neither clarifies nor enriches the parameter semantics.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description 'Analyze an image file with Gemini Vision' uses a specific verb ('analyze') and resource ('image file'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools that handle audio, video, PDF, URL, etc. The purpose is immediately clear and unambiguous.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description implies usage for image files but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like gemini_analyze_audio or gemini_chat. No guidance is given on prerequisites or conditions, relying solely on the tool name and sibling names for differentiation.

    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 burden of behavioral disclosure. It does not mention side effects, read-only nature, permissions, or any other behavioral traits beyond counting tokens.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is a single, clear, and concise sentence with no unnecessary words, making it efficiently front-loaded.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    For a simple token counting tool with 2 parameters and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks usage guidelines and behavioral transparency, leaving some context gaps.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds minimal extra meaning beyond the schema. It repeats 'text' and implies 'model' but does not elaborate on format or constraints, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool counts tokens in provided text using a Gemini model. The verb 'Count' and resource 'tokens' are specific, and no sibling tool performs token counting, making it distinguishable.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many sibling tools, such as chat or analysis tools, explicit usage context is missing.

  • Behavior2/5

    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 it lists models, but omits details like read-only nature, authentication needs, rate limits, pagination, or any side effects. For a simple listing, minimal disclosure is acceptable but not ideal.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    A single, concise sentence that includes the action and key output details. No filler or redundant information.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Despite the low complexity (no parameters, no output schema), the description lacks details about the return format, whether the list is exhaustive or filtered, and any constraints. Since no output schema exists, the description should be more informative to fully guide the agent.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    There are no parameters, which gives a baseline of 4. The description adds value by specifying that the output includes 'capabilities and token limits,' clarifying what the list contains beyond just model names.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    The description covers the basic functionality and modes, but given the complexity of a multi-mode chat tool, it lacks details on how chat context is maintained, how tool invocation works, and what 'everything' entails. The schema covers all parameters, so completeness is minimally adequate.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description reiterates the mode enum values already in the schema, adding no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds context for the wait parameter but does not significantly enhance meaning for interactionId or timeoutMinutes beyond the schema.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool checks or waits for deep research results, distinguishing it from the sibling gemini_deep_research which initiates research. The verb 'check' or 'wait' and resource 'deep research results' are specific.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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