Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct resource and action (e.g., pm_create_comment vs pm_create_task). The names and descriptions make it clear which entity is being operated on, with no overlapping functionality. The distinction between pm_list_tags and pm_list_user_labels is explicit.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow the consistent pattern `pm_verb_noun`. Verbs are standard (create, get, list, update, delete, upload, download, export, attach, detach) and nouns correspond to resources. No mixed conventions or vague names.
Tool Count2/546 tools is well above the typical well-scoped range (3-15). Even for a comprehensive project manager, this number is high and may overwhelm agents. It borders on excessive, as per calibration (25+ is too many).
Completeness3/5The server covers CRUD for many entities (projects, tasks, comments, tags, users, files) but lacks update operations for organizations, teams, and user labels. Also team and organization deletion are missing. These are notable gaps that agents may encounter.
Average 2.5/5 across 46 of 46 tools scored. Lowest: 1.1/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, and the description fails to disclose any behavioral traits. It does not mention that the tool modifies data, requires authentication, 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?
The description is extremely short but not concise in a helpful way; it lacks critical information, making it under-specified rather than efficient.
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 presence of a nested object parameter and an output schema, the description is woefully incomplete. It does not explain return values, error conditions, or prerequisites.
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 provides no explanation of what 'payload' contains or the purpose of 'tag_id' and 'x_user_id'.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose1/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'PATCH /tags/{tag_id}.' is a tautology; it only repeats the tool's endpoint pattern without stating that it updates a tag. No verb or resource purpose is clarified beyond the name.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like pm_create_tag or pm_delete_tag. The context of updating vs creating or deleting is entirely absent.
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?
No annotations provided. The description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as destructive nature, authentication requirements, or side effects. It only shows the HTTP method and endpoint.
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 short (8 words) but this is under-specification, not conciseness. It fails to earn its place because it adds no value beyond the tool name.
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 that the tool has 2 parameters with no description, no annotation, and an output schema unseen, the description is completely inadequate for enabling 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%. The description mentions '{name}' but does not explain the payload object structure, required fields, or the role of x_user_id. The parameter semantics are entirely missing.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'OrganizationCreate' but does not explicitly say it creates an organization. It uses a template syntax '{name}' which is ambiguous. With many sibling create tools, the purpose is not clearly differentiated.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternative create tools (e.g., pm_create_project, pm_create_team). The description lacks context about prerequisites or filtering criteria.
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, the description carries full burden but offers no behavioral details. It does not disclose idempotency, error conditions, required permissions, or effects on related data.
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 but is under-specified rather than concise. It omits essential information, making it inefficient for an AI agent to understand.
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 having an output schema, the description fails to provide any context about return values, error handling, or side effects. It is incomplete for such a simple 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 description coverage is 0%, and the description adds no meaning to the parameters. 'label_id' and 'x_user_id' remain unexplained; their purpose and allowed values are unclear.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description merely restates the HTTP method and endpoint ('DELETE /user-labels/{label_id}') without explaining what the tool does in business terms. It vaguely implies deletion but does not specify that it deletes a user label resource.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like pm_user_detach_label (which detaches a label from a user) or other delete tools. There is no mention of prerequisites or use cases.
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, the description must disclose behavioral traits. The description only states the HTTP method and path, omitting crucial details like safety (read-only), error handling, or required authentication.
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 very short but it is under-specified rather than effectively concise. It lacks necessary information to be useful.
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?
The description is incomplete for a tool with 2 parameters, no annotations, and no parameter documentation. It fails to provide the minimal context needed 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 tool description adds no meaning to the parameters. 'tag_id' is somewhat clear from the name, but 'x_user_id' is ambiguous.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'GET /tags/{tag_id}' is essentially a tautology, restating the endpoint without explaining what the tool does. It provides no semantic content beyond the action implied by the name and path.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does 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 its siblings (e.g., pm_list_tags, pm_update_tag). There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or alternatives.
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, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions the HTTP method and data format but omits critical details like whether the upload creates a new file or overwrites existing ones, authentication requirements, size limits, and error handling.
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 short, but it sacrifices necessary detail for brevity. It does not earn its place because it fails to convey essential information needed for correct tool use.
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 7 parameters, an output schema, and many siblings, the description is woefully incomplete. It does not explain return values, required vs optional parameters, or the purpose of fields like kind or description_md.
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%, yet the description adds no meaning beyond the parameter names already in the schema. It mentions 'file bytes as standard base64' but does not map to the parameter 'file_content_base64' or explain optional parameters like kind, name, or description_md.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'upload' and references a project file, which gives a basic sense of the action and resource, but it is vague and does not differentiate from sibling tools like pm_update_project_file or pm_download_project_file. It lacks specificity about the operation being a creation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as pm_update_project_file or pm_list_project_files. There are no prerequisites, context, or exclusion criteria mentioned.
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?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as whether the deletion is permanent, cascading, or requires authorization. The agent cannot assess 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?
The description is extremely short, but this is not beneficial conciseness; it is under-specification. It fails to include essential information that would fit in a sentence or two.
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 is a delete operation with required parameters and an output schema, the description is wholly inadequate. It does not cover return values, error conditions, or usage context, leaving the agent blind.
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 does not explain the meaning of 'tag_id' or 'x_user_id'. The agent gets no guidance on how to provide these parameters beyond their types.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description only states 'DELETE /tags/{tag_id}.' This is essentially a tautology that restates the endpoint pattern without explaining the tool's purpose in plain language. It lacks a verb and resource description like 'Deletes a tag by ID.'
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like pm_update_tag or pm_delete_task. There is no mention of prerequisites, such as requiring the tag to exist or permissions needed.
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?
No annotations exist, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, rate limits, idempotency, or side effects. For a read-only operation, 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.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one short sentence), but it is underspecified. It prioritizes brevity over usefulness, lacking essential context that would help an agent use the tool correctly.
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 tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description could be minimal but still fails to mention what the response contains or any key behavioral constraints. It is 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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not elaborate on the purpose or format of the two parameters (x_user_id and project_id). It adds no value beyond the raw schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar 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?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only indicates a DELETE request, implying destructive action, but provides no details on reversibility, permissions, rate limits, or side effects. This fails to adequately inform the agent of behavioral implications.
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 short (one sentence), but it is under-specified rather than concise. It fails to convey essential information about the tool's functionality, making it insufficient for effective agent use.
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 three parameters (two required), no annotations, and no parameter descriptions, the description is far from complete. Even though an output schema exists (not shown), the description does not mention return values, error cases, or required conditions for success. The tool is complex enough to demand richer documentation.
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% parameter description coverage, and the description does not explain any parameters (project_id, file_id, x_user_id). The endpoint path hints at two path parameters, but the optional x_user_id is completely unaddressed. The description adds zero semantic value over the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description is essentially the HTTP method and endpoint URL, which restates the tool name without adding clarity. It does not distinguish this delete operation from sibling delete tools like pm_delete_comment or pm_delete_project beyond the resource type implied by the name.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., pm_update_project_file, pm_download_project_file). There is no mention of prerequisites, required context, or situations where 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.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It only indicates a PATCH operation (implying partial update) but does not mention what happens if the comment does not exist, required permissions, error conditions, or the response format. The minimal HTTP method hint is inadequate.
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 short (one line), but this conciseness comes at the cost of essential information. It fails to provide a meaningful summary of the tool's purpose or behavior, 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.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given three parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations, and an existing output schema, the description is severely incomplete. It omits critical details about parameters, behavioral cues, and usage context, leaving the agent inadequately informed for correct tool selection and 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 does not explain any of the three parameters. The payload parameter (type: object, additionalProperties: true) is especially opaque, and no guidance is given on expected fields or usage of x_user_id. The description adds zero value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description is 'PATCH /comments/{comment_id}.' which essentially restates the HTTP method and endpoint without clarifying that the tool updates an existing comment's content or properties. This is nearly a tautology, providing minimal semantic value beyond the name.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does 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 its siblings (e.g., pm_create_comment, pm_delete_comment, pm_list_comments). The description lacks any context about prerequisites, alternatives, or appropriate scenarios.
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?
No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as authentication requirements, side effects, or idempotency. The minimal description fails to inform the agent about 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.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise but at the cost of being under-specifying. It is more of a label than a helpful description, lacking necessary detail.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Despite having an output schema and nested objects, the description provides no context about return values or payload structure. The tool's complexity demands more explanatory content to be complete.
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 the schema. Parameters 'payload' (object with additionalProperties true) and 'x_user_id' (optional) are undocumented, leaving the agent with no guidance on required fields or format.
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 'POST /comments — TaskCommentCreate' indicates the tool creates a comment via POST, so purpose is clear. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like pm_create_task or pm_create_tag, missing specificity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines1/5Does 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 like pm_list_comments or pm_update_comment. The description lacks any context for usage.
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?
No annotations provided, and the description offers no behavioral context beyond the HTTP method. It does not disclose what happens upon deletion (e.g., cascading effects, required permissions, irreversibility).
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 brief, but lacks essential information. Being concise is positive, but the description is under-specified and fails to provide even a minimal explanation.
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 having an output schema (not shown), the description does not clarify the tool's role in the broader system. It fails to explain when to use it, what it returns, or how it interacts with other tools.
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% for parameter descriptions. The description does not explain 'project_id' or the optional 'x_user_id' parameter. No added value beyond the schema.
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 'DELETE /projects/{project_id}', which implies deletion of a project. However, it lacks explicit natural language stating 'Delete a project'. The purpose is functional but not clearly articulated.
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?

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 a read operation via 'GET', but with no annotations provided, it fails to disclose authentication needs, rate limits, or potential side effects. The behavioral disclosure 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.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely short but lacks substance. It is under-specified rather than appropriately concise. Important information is omitted.
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 an output schema, return values need not be explained, but the description fails to provide adequate context for a tool with zero annotation coverage and 0% parameter documentation. It is insufficient for an agent to use 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 does not explain any parameter beyond the path variable {organization_id}. The parameter x_user_id is completely undocumented. The description adds no semantic value to the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose2/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'GET /organizations/{organization_id}.' adds the HTTP method and path template, but essentially restates the tool name 'pm_get_organization'. It does not explain what the organization is or distinguish it from list tools like pm_list_organizations.

- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits, but it only states the HTTP method and path. It does not mention whether the tool requires authentication, how errors are handled (e.g., invalid project_id), whether results are paginated, or any ordering or filtering capabilities.
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 concise, consisting of a single line. However, it lacks structure and informative content for an agent. While brevity is generally positive, this is minimalistic to the point of omitting necessary context for proper tool selection and use.
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 existence of an output schema and sibling tools with similar names (e.g., pm_download_project_file, pm_delete_project_file), the description should provide more context about the tool's behavior, such as whether it lists all files or paginated, what file metadata is returned, and any permissions required. The current description is incomplete for a non-trivial use case.
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?

Without annotations, the description should disclose behavioral traits. It only says 'partial update', which implies mutation, but lacks details on idempotency, side effects, or default behavior when payload is empty. No conflict with annotations as none exist.
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 concise (one sentence) and front-loads the HTTP method and endpoint. However, it could be more informative without becoming verbose, earning a middling score.
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 tool has an output schema (implied), return values are not required, but the description omits key context about input validation, error conditions, or the nature of partial updates. The arbitrary 'payload' object suggests flexibility that is not explained.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It only mentions 'partial ProjectUpdate fields' without specifying which fields are allowed or how payload is interpreted. The complex nested 'payload' parameter is left ambiguous.
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 is a PATCH operation on /projects/{project_id} for partial ProjectUpdate fields, distinguishing it from create or delete 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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., pm_create_project for new projects, pm_get_project for retrieval). Prerequisites like project existence are not mentioned.
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 alone must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions 'PATCH' and 'partial update,' implying a mutation operation, but does not state idempotency, side effects (e.g., whether unchanged fields are preserved), 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.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely short (one phrase), which is concise but may be under-specifying. It is front-loaded but leaves out important details. Not verbose, but could be more informative without losing conciseness.
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, a nested object, and a partial update concept, the description is too brief. Although there is an output schema, the description does not hint at the return value (e.g., the updated task object). The tool's complexity demands a more complete description.
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?
The input schema has 0% description coverage. The description only says 'partial TaskUpdate' but does not explain what fields can be included in the payload object. Since payload allows additional properties, the agent needs to know supported fields; the description provides no such guidance.
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 states 'PATCH /tasks/{task_id} — partial TaskUpdate' which clearly indicates updating a task partially. It uses a specific verb and resource, but does not explicitly differentiate from other update tools for different resources like pm_update_comment. However, 'partial' helps clarify the scope.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as pm_create_task (for creating a task) or pm_delete_task (for deleting). The description lacks context about prerequisites or conditions.
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 must convey behavioral traits. It correctly identifies admin authorization but omits other important aspects: whether the operation is idempotent, if duplicate attachments are allowed, or any side effects (e.g., notifications). The description is too sparse.
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 (one sentence), which is concise but lacks structure. It front-loads the HTTP method and access control, but does not organize parameter info or additional context. Some conciseness is lost by omitting necessary details.
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 lack of annotations and poor parameter coverage, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the return value (despite an output schema existing), nor does it provide contextual information about side effects or prerequisites. The tool is simple but the description could do more.
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 adds no meaning to the parameters. It does not explain what `user_id`, `label_id`, or the optional `x_user_id` represent, leaving 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.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states the HTTP method (POST), resource path (`/users/{user_id}/labels`), action (attach a contact label to a user), and access restriction (admin only). This clearly distinguishes it from siblings like `pm_user_detach_label` and `pm_create_user_label`.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description only mentions 'admin only' but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., `pm_create_user_label` for creating labels, `pm_task_attach_tag` for attaching tags). No prerequisites or scenarios are discussed.
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 behavioral traits. It only mentions admin restriction. It lacks details on cascading effects, reversibility, or error conditions that would help the agent understand the tool's full impact.
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?
Extremely concise at one sentence, no fluff. However, it is under-informative for the parameter dimension. Scores higher because it wastes no words, but lacks completeness.
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 two parameters and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain how to use the optional 'x_user_id' or what the output format is, despite the output schema existing.
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%, yet the description adds no meaning for parameters 'user_id' or 'x_user_id'. It doesn't explain their roles, leaving 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.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the HTTP DELETE method and resource '/users/{user_id}', indicating it deletes a user. The 'admin only' note adds specificity. It distinguishes from sibling delete tools targeting other entities.
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., pm_delete_user_label). Only a prerequisite ('admin only') is provided, but no context about when deletion is appropriate or what happens to associated data.
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 exist, so the description carries the full burden. It does not disclose read-only nature, authentication requirements, pagination, or other behaviors. The GET method implies read-only, but this is 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.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise, but it sacrifices completeness. It is not structured to highlight multiple aspects effectively, and every sentence should provide more value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 9 parameters, no annotations, and an output schema not provided, the description is very incomplete. It only covers two filters and lacks information about return type, behavior, and other parameters.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so description must add value. It provides allowed values for two parameters (task_status and priority) which the schema lacks. However, the other 7 parameters receive no explanation, making the addition partial.
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 specifies 'GET /tasks' which clearly indicates a list operation, and mentions filters. It is specific enough to understand the tool's purpose, though it could be more explicit about retrieving tasks.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like pm_get_task or other list tools. The description only states that filters are optional, lacking context for proper 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?
Without annotations, the description carries full burden but only lists fields. It does not disclose behavioral traits like idempotency, authorization needs, side effects, 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One sentence, direct and front-loaded with the endpoint. It is concise, though uses technical jargon that may not be universally understood.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given an output schema exists and the tool is simple, the description covers core parameters but lacks usage context and behavioral details, leaving gaps for an agent to confidently invoke.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description lists expected fields within the payload (name, description_md, owner, etc.), adding value beyond the generic schema. However, it does not specify which are required or provide types, and the schema coverage is 0%.
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 'POST /projects' and references 'ProjectCreate', which implies creating a project. Combined with the tool name, the purpose is clear. However, it does not explicitly state 'creates a new project', relying on technical notation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise at one sentence, but lacks front-loading of the most critical info. Including the HTTP method is partially redundant.
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 complexity of a creation tool with a nested payload object and output schema, the description is too brief. It does not explain payload structure, required vs optional fields, or tie to the output.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 0% description coverage, so the description partially compensates by listing project_id, title, short_name plus optional fields. However, it does not specify types, constraints, or whether these are required, leaving ambiguity.
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 states "POST /tasks — TaskCreate" which implies creating a task, and lists specific fields (project_id, title, short_name). However, it lacks an explicit verb like "Creates a new task" and could be clearer in purpose.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (nested payload object, 2 parameters, output schema exists), the description covers the required and optional fields within payload but omits context for x_user_id and does not explain output behavior or error conditions. It is adequate but has clear gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has two parameters: payload (object with additionalProperties) and optional x_user_id. The description adds meaning by listing fields like display_name, email, etc. that should go into the payload, which is valuable since the schema is opaque. However, it does not describe x_user_id at all, and schema coverage is 0%, so the description compensates partially but not fully.
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 'POST /users — admin only' along with the list of fields clearly indicates the tool creates a user. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools which target different resources (comments, organizations, etc.), though it could be more explicit with a verb like 'Creates'.

- Behavior3/5
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 mentions 'GET', implying read-only, but does not explicitly state safety, auth needs, or other 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single line, front-loaded with the route and purpose. Every word is relevant and there is no waste.
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 one optional parameter and an output schema, the description lacks context about what user labels are, how the parameter works, and what the output contains. It is too minimal for a complete understanding.
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 schema has 0% description coverage for the parameter x_user_id. The description does not mention the parameter at all, failing to add any meaning beyond the schema's type and title.
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 lists global contact labels, distinguishing it from task tags with 'not task tags'. This is specific and helpful.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description clarifies that this is for contact labels, not task tags, suggesting when to use this vs pm_list_tags. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the operation is a GET (read-only) and specifies the response fields, but does not mention authentication, error handling, or side effects. It adds some behavioral context but lacks completeness.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that front-loads the HTTP method and path, followed by the return structure. No unnecessary words; every part earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description covers the return value but omits parameter explanations and usage context like required permissions. It is adequate but not fully comprehensive.
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?
The description references project_id and file_id via the path template, but does not explain their meaning or the optional x_user_id parameter. With 0% schema description coverage, the description fails to compensate, leaving parameter semantics incomplete.
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 identifies the HTTP method (GET), resource path (projects/{project_id}/files/{file_id}/download), and return value (JSON with content_base64, content_type, size_bytes). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like pm_list_project_files (list only) and pm_upload_project_file (upload).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies that this tool is used to download a file's content, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives (e.g., pm_list_project_files for metadata). 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.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It explains the output format (plain text) and behavior (export with filters), but does not explicitly state that the tool is read-only, non-destructive, or safe. For a data export, this is acceptable but could be improved.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, concise sentence that front-loads the HTTP method and endpoint, then lists format, fields, separators, and filter equivalence. Every word contributes directly to understanding, with no redundancy or filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has an output schema (so return values need not be detailed), the description covers the key aspects: output type, field options, separator options, and filter equivalence. It provides sufficient context for an agent to decide when and how to invoke this tool, though cross-referencing pm_list_users adds a small dependency.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, but the description adds meaning for two key parameters (field and separator) with allowed values. The remaining six parameters are only referenced via 'same filters as pm_list_users,' which relies on agent knowledge of that tool. This partially compensates for low coverage but does not fully explain all parameters.
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 exports users in plain text, specifying available fields and separators. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like pm_export_users_csv (likely CSV format) and pm_list_users (JSON list) by highlighting the plain text output and filter equivalence.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage by mentioning 'same filters as pm_list_users,' suggesting when to use this tool for filtered plain-text exports. However, it does not explicitly contrast with pm_export_users_csv or state when not to use it, leaving some ambiguity.
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?
With no annotations provided, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It implies a read-only GET operation but does not explicitly state idempotency, safety, or lack of side effects. It also does not mention pagination, rate limits, or authentication requirements. The description is adequate but leaves gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise at two short sentences, with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the endpoint and key info. Every sentence earns its place by adding value.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema (which likely covers return values), the description need not explain output. However, with six parameters, only two are partially described. Missing details on team_id, organization_id, and x_user_id reduce completeness. The tool is moderately complete for a list endpoint.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It explains 'user_kind' values and 'label_ids' format and logic (OR combination) and warns against combining label_id and label_ids. However, it does not clarify the remaining four parameters (team_id, label_id, x_user_id, organization_id), leaving them underspecified.
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 it is a 'GET /users' with optional filters, specifying the purpose of listing users. It distinguishes from sibling tools by mentioning specific filters like 'user_kind' and 'label_ids', which are unique to user listing.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides explicit guidance: optional filters, valid values for user_kind ('internal|client'), format for label_ids ('comma-separated UUIDs (OR)'), and a clear warning not to combine 'label_id' and 'label_ids'. It lacks mention of when to use this tool versus other list tools (e.g., pm_list_teams) but still offers concrete usage instructions.
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?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses the HTTP method (PATCH), partial update nature, and auth requirement. However, it does not describe the response format, error handling, or side effects, leaving behavioral gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with a clear list, no redundancy. All information is front-loaded and every word contributes to understanding.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers the core operation and auth but omits what the output schema provides (response format). Given the nested payload and auth requirement, it is adequate but could mention the return value and constraints.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does 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 effectively lists the updatable fields for the payload object and mentions the X-User-Id parameter. While it lacks type details, it provides essential context missing from the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it performs a PATCH partial update on a user resource, listing specific fields. It distinguishes from sibling tools like pm_create_user and pm_delete_user.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly mentions the authentication requirement (X-User-Id from self or admin), providing clear context for when the tool is usable. It does not explicitly state when not to use it, but the sibling tools cover other operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
