Meta API MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.3
- Disambiguation2/5
Multiple tools overlap in purpose, e.g., there are duplicate checkout tools with different naming ('listCheckouts' and 'Checkouts_Listallcheckouts'; 'createCheckout' and 'Checkouts_Createacheckout'). Tools for charges, orders, subscriptions, etc., exist but boundaries are unclear due to inconsistent naming and missing operations.
Naming Consistency1/5Naming is highly inconsistent: mix of camelCase (listCharges), underscores with misspellings (SubscripitonItems_Updateasubscr), verbs like 'findPetsByStatus', and bare words like 'Health'. No consistent pattern exists.
Tool Count1/5With 69 tools spanning many unrelated domains (payments, CMS, ecommerce, petstore, health, etc.), the tool count is excessive for a coherent server. A unified MCP server should focus on a single domain.
Completeness2/5Coverage is inconsistent and incomplete. Some resources have CRUD (posts), but many only have list/retrieve (e.g., orders, stores, customers) with missing create/update/delete. Duplicate tools for checkouts further indicate poor completeness.
Average 2.8/5 across 69 of 69 tools scored. Lowest: 1.1/5.

How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
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
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
There are no annotations and the description '404' discloses no behavioral traits. The agent is left unaware of what this endpoint does (e.g., error simulation, health check).
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 under-specified. One word is insufficient for a tool that presumably has some effect.
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 no output schema, no annotations, and no parameter description, the tool is completely incomplete. The description fails to provide any context about what the tool returns or does.
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?
Although schema coverage is 100% (zero parameters), the description adds no meaning beyond the empty schema. '404' does not clarify what the tool does.
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 '404' does not state what the tool does. It is cryptic and fails to convey any verb or resource, making it impossible for an agent to understand its purpose.
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 or when not to use this tool. There is no mention of context 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 bears full responsibility for disclosing behavior. It fails to mention whether the tool is read-only, destructive, or any side effects, leaving the agent blind to expectations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely brief but under-specified. Conciseness should be efficient without losing clarity; here it is simply vague, not concise in a helpful way.
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 no parameters and no output schema, the tool is simple, but the description should at least state its function (e.g., health check). The complete lack of information makes it wholly inadequate.
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 tool has zero parameters and schema coverage is 100% (empty). The description adds no additional meaning, but the baseline for 0 parameters is 4. However, since the description fails to provide any context, a score of 3 is appropriate.
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?
Tautological: description restates name/title.
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. The description lacks any context about the intended use case or conditions for invocation.
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 present, and the description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as what the tool returns (e.g., file content, metadata), permissions required, or side effects. This is a critical omission.
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 is under-specified rather than concise. It fails to communicate essential information, making it ineffective for tool selection.
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 tool has no output schema, so the description should explain return values or behavior. It does not. The single parameter is insufficiently described, and the overall context is inadequate for correct usage.
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 coverage is 100%, but the parameter description ('Query parameter: page[number]') adds no meaning beyond the schema itself. The description provides no additional context about how the parameter is used or what it affects.
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 'Retrieve a file' as a verb+resource, but it does not specify how to identify the file (e.g., by ID or path). The single parameter is 'page[number]' for pagination, which is unrelated to selecting a file. This is vague and confusing, especially since sibling 'Files_Listallfiles' 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 Guidelines2/5Does 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 'Files_Listallfiles' or other retrieval tools. The agent has no context to decide which tool fits.
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 description does not disclose any behavioral traits such as idempotency, result format, or pagination behavior. For a tool with no annotations, the description carries full burden but fails to deliver.
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 short but under-specified. It lacks critical context that would make it useful, so brevity is not a virtue here.
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 tool has no output schema and fails to explain what a license key instance is, how to identify one, or what the response contains. Given the ambiguous name and schema, it is incomplete.
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 descriptions are mere repetitions ('Query parameter: page[size]'), adding no meaning. The tool description adds no further information about parameters. Despite high schema coverage, the descriptions are useless.
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?
Description says 'Retrieve a license key instance' but schema only has pagination parameters with no identifier, making it unclear whether this retrieves a single instance or lists all. This contradicts the name which implies singular retrieval.
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 versus sibling tools like LicenseKeyInstances_Listalllice. There is no mention of prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It fails to indicate whether the operation is read-only, what happens if the variant is not found, or any side effects. The bare description gives no behavioral context.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is excessively short (four words) and, while concise, fails to provide essential information. It does not earn its place as it offers no more than a restatement of 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 the tool has 4 parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It provides no explanation of the resource being retrieved, the meaning of the filter parameters, or the expected return value. The agent lacks sufficient context to use the tool correctly.
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 100%, but each parameter's description is merely 'Query parameter: [name]', adding no semantic value. The tool description also does not explain how parameters like 'filter[product_id]' or pagination affect results. Baseline is 3 due to high coverage, but the poor quality of schema descriptions and lack of additional context justify a lower score.
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 'Retrieve a variant' is a tautology of the tool name 'Variants_Retrieveavariant'. It states a verb and resource but adds no specificity about what a variant is or how it differs from similar tools like 'Variants_Listallvariants'.
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 vs. alternatives. The sibling 'Variants_Listallvariants' is closely related, but the description does not explain the distinction between retrieving a single variant vs. listing all variants.
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 fully disclose behavior. It only says 'Retrieve a checkout' but does not explain pagination parameters, return format, or id requirements. This is misleading for a retrieval tool.
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?
While short, the description is under-specified. It lacks necessary details and does not earn its place as a single sentence due to missing context.
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?
No output schema, no annotations, and the pagination parameters contradict a single-retrieval intent. The description fails to provide a complete picture for tool selection and invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% but each parameter description is trivial ('Query parameter: page[size]'). The description adds zero meaning beyond the schema, failing to clarify why a retrieval would have pagination parameters.
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 'Retrieve a checkout', which is a clear verb+resource pair. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'showCheckout', and the pagination parameters in the schema imply a list operation, creating ambiguity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like listCheckouts or showCheckout. The description lacks any context about 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.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description only states the action 'Retrieve' without disclosing behavioral traits such as read-only nature, authentication requirements, or side effects. Since no annotations are provided, the description carries full burden but fails to deliver.
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 short but lacks substance. It is front-loaded with the verb but provides no further details, earning a middle score for conciseness without completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 6 optional parameters, no output schema, no annotations, and a confusing relationship with a sibling list tool, the description is severely incomplete. It fails to explain behavior, parameter roles, or differentiation.
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?
Although schema coverage is 100%, the parameter descriptions are tautological (e.g., 'Query parameter: include'). The tool description adds no additional meaning or usage context for the parameters.
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 'Retrieve an order' is essentially a tautology of the tool name 'Orders_Retrieveanorder'. It does not clarify whether this retrieves a single order or lists orders, and fails to distinguish from the sibling 'Orders_Listallorders'.
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 'Orders_Listallorders'. The optional parameters and lack of required order ID create ambiguity about its intended use case.
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; description only states 'Retrieve a store' without disclosing authentication needs, error behavior, or side effects. For a read operation, basic safety characteristics are entirely missing.
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?
Extremely concise at one sentence, but insufficiently informative. Acceptable for a minimal description, but lacks front-loaded critical 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?
No output schema, no annotations, and a terse description leave the agent without essential context about return structure or success/failure indicators.
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?
With zero parameters and 100% schema coverage, the schema fully documents the input. Baseline for 0 params is 4; description adds no extra meaning, but none is required.
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?
Description 'Retrieve a store' is essentially a tautology of the tool name, adding no new information. It does not specify the scope or return format, and fails to distinguish from sibling retrieve tools like 'Customers_Retrieveacustomer'.
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 such as 'Stores_Listallstores'. No context on prerequisites or typical 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 behavioral traits such as destructive effects, required permissions, or side effects. The agent receives no information about whether the cancellation is reversible, what happens to related items, or if confirmation is needed.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, which is concise and front-loaded. However, it is overly minimal and does not provide additional context beyond the tool name, meaning it does not fully earn its place by adding 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?
Despite the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no annotations), the description lacks completeness. It does not explain the return value or confirm the action. Without an output schema, the agent is left guessing about the response format or success indicators.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no parameters, so the description does not need to explain parameters. The schema coverage is 100% (empty), meaning the description adds no parameter semantics, but this is acceptable given the absence of parameters.
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 'Cancel a Subscription' explicitly states the verb (cancel) and resource (subscription), clearly indicating the tool's purpose. However, it closely mirrors the tool name 'Subscriptions_CancelaSubscripti', adding minimal additional clarity. It distinguishes from siblings like 'Subscriptions_Updateasubscripti' and 'Subscriptions_Retrieveasubscrip' but offers no further detail.
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?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as updating a subscription or other cancellation operations like 'cancelCharge'. There are no suggestions, prerequisites, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states it creates a checkout, without mentioning any side effects, authentication needs, or what happens to existing 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 extremely short, consisting of only one sentence that adds no new information beyond the tool name. While concise, it fails to convey useful content, so it does not earn its place.
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 no output schema and a single nested parameter, the description should provide more context about what the tool returns and how to use it. The single sentence is insufficient for a creation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% for the single 'body' parameter, which is described as 'checkouts object according to JSON:API spec'. The tool description adds no additional parameter semantics, but the baseline is 3 due to high schema coverage.
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 'Create a checkout' is essentially a tautology, restating the tool name in a slightly different format. It does not specify any unique aspects or distinguish this tool from sibling tools like 'createCharge' or 'createPost'.
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. With many sibling tools for different resources, the description offers no context to help an agent choose correctly.
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 read-only or destructive nature, authentication requirements, rate limits, or pagination behavior. The contradiction between the singular 'retrieve' and list-oriented parameters further obscures behavior.
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 with no unnecessary words. However, it lacks structure and fails to front-load critical information. It is concise but at the expense of completeness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has no annotations, no output schema, and three parameters with pagination and filtering, the description is severely incomplete. An agent cannot determine correct invocation without knowing whether an invoice ID is needed, how pagination works, or what the filter status expects. The context is insufficient for a correct selection or usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% as all three parameters have descriptions, though they are minimal ('Query parameter: ...'). The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema. According to the rubric, high coverage sets baseline at 3, despite the descriptions being sparse.
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 says 'Retrieve a subscription invoice' suggesting a single resource, but the input schema contains pagination and filter parameters (page[size], page[number], filter[status]), which are typical for listing endpoints. This mismatch misleads about the actual function. The sibling 'SubscripitonInvoices_Listallsub' likely handles listing, adding confusion. Purpose is unclear.
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 'SubscripitonInvoices_Listallsub' or 'Subscriptions_Retrieveasubscrip'. There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or scenarios where this tool is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full transparency burden. It only states the action ('Create a webhook') without disclosing side effects, required permissions, or potential errors.
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?
At only three words, the description is under-specified. It sacrifices valuable information for brevity, failing to earn its place as a complete guide.
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 a complex nested parameter, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is grossly incomplete. It omits return values, constraints, and object structure, leaving the agent with insufficient information to use the tool reliably.
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 sole parameter 'body' has a schema description ('webhooks object according to JSON:API spec') that is vague and lacks field details. The tool description does not compensate, leaving the agent uncertain about required properties.
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 'Create a webhook' states a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from retrieve, list, update, and delete siblings. However, it adds no extra context beyond the tool name, making it only minimally clear.
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., updating or deleting a webhook). Missing context on prerequisites or typical scenarios.
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 full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only states the action without indicating side effects, permissions, reversibility, or impact on related resources.
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), but it is minimal and under-specified. It earns its place by stating the action, but could provide more context without being verbose.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a deletion tool with no annotations or output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain the operation's behavior, prerequisites, or consequences, leaving the agent with incomplete context.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 0 parameters with 100% coverage, so the description adds no parameter details. Baseline of 3 is appropriate as the schema already documents the lack of parameters.
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 'Delete a discount' essentially restates the tool name 'Discounts_Deleteadiscount', making it a tautology. It does not provide additional context 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 Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is given on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., Discounts_Listalldiscounts or Discounts_Createadiscount). The description lacks any contextual or conditional usage instructions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description should cover behavioral traits. It mentions no authentication requirements, side effects, or constraints beyond the generic retrieval action. The description is insufficient for safe operation.
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?
At one sentence, it is concise but not effectively so. It adds no value beyond the tool name and could be considered under-specified rather than concise.
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 output schema and minimal parameters, the description fails to clarify how to specify which license key (by ID?) or what the response contains. It is incomplete for effective use.
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 100% (one parameter 'include'), but the description adds no meaning beyond 'Query parameter: include'. It does not explain what 'include' controls (e.g., related objects, fields).
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 'Retrieve a license key', which is a clear verb+resource pairing. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like LicenseKeys_Listalllicensekeys (list all) or LicenseKeyInstances_Retrieveali (retrieve instance), leaving ambiguity about scope and specificity.
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 offers no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the name implies retrieving a single key, no explicit context or exclusion criteria are 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?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only restates the list action without detailing pagination, idempotency, rate limits, or return format. The minimal text adds no behavioral insight beyond the tool name.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness2/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single 6-word sentence, which is under-specified rather than concise. It fails to provide any value beyond the tool name, wasting the opportunity to inform.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness1/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given 3 pagination parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is severely incomplete. It does not indicate result structure, pagination behavior, or required authorizations, making it inadequate for reliable tool invocation.

Parameters1/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has 3 parameters (limit, ending_before, starting_after) with 0% description coverage. The tool description does not explain these parameters or their function (e.g., pagination cursors). The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, which itself is empty.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description states 'Retrieves a list of checkout objects' with a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes from other list tools by resource name (checkout vs charges, events, etc.), but lacks scope or filtering context that would further differentiate.
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 listCheckouts versus sibling tools like listCharges, listEvents, etc. The description does not mention context, prerequisites, or alternatives, leaving the agent without decision support.
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. It says 'Retrieve', implying a read-only operation, but does not explicitly confirm safety, auth requirements, or that it returns a single object. No additional behavioral context is given.
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?

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 no output schema and no path parameters in the input schema, it is unclear how the subscription is identified for retrieval. The description omits that a subscription ID is likely needed. This is a critical gap for a retrieval operation, making the definition incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and the parameters (include, page[size], page[number]) are described in the schema. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
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 'Retrieve a subscription', which is clear as a verb+resource. However, it is generic and does not distinguish it from sibling tools like list or update subscriptions. It lacks specificity about which subscription (e.g., by ID).

- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It only states 'retrieve,' implying a read operation, but does not disclose pagination behavior, filtering semantics, authentication needs, or rate limits. The behavioral profile is insufficiently communicated.
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 omits critical details. It earns a baseline score for lack of verbosity, but the brevity comes at the cost of 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 the lack of an output schema, the tool description must explain the return value. It does not. Combined with insufficient parameter explanations and no behavioral details, the description is incomplete for effective tool selection and invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Although schema description coverage is 100%, the parameter descriptions merely repeat the parameter names (e.g., 'Query parameter: page[size]') without adding meaning. The tool description does not explain how or why to use any parameter, providing no semantic 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 'Retrieve a discount redemption' clearly identifies the resource and action, but it does not distinguish between retrieving a single redemption versus listing multiple. The presence of pagination parameters (page[size], page[number]) suggests a list operation, creating ambiguity.

The schema has 100% coverage but only describes the parameter as 'Request body'. The description adds no additional semantic meaning about the body's contents, leaving the agent to infer from context. A 3 is appropriate as the schema already provides basic info.
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 the verb 'Create' and resource 'a discount', making the purpose clear. However, it does not distinguish from sibling tools like Discounts_Listalldiscounts or Discounts_Retrieveadiscount, which are also about discounts.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus the other discount tools. For example, it doesn't mention that this should be used for creating new discounts rather than retrieving existing ones.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, so the description must carry the full burden. It only says 'Retrieve a discount' without disclosing if it is read-only, what happens if the discount does not exist, or why pagination parameters are present despite the singular retrieve name.
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 concise at only three words, which is efficient but lacks sufficient detail for a tool with four parameters. It is front-loaded but not informative enough.
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 output schema, annotations, and the presence of pagination parameters that seem mismatched with a singular retrieve, the description is incomplete. It does not explain how this tool differs from the list-all sibling or how to interpret the 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?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, but each parameter description is minimal ('Query parameter: ...'). The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline of 3.
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 'Retrieve a discount', which clearly indicates the action (retrieve) and resource (discount). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'Discounts_Listalldiscounts' and 'Discounts_Createadiscount', but lacks specificity on how the discount is identified (e.g., 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 Discounts_Listalldiscounts. The description does not mention prerequisites or context such as needing a discount ID.
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 should clarify read-only behavior or side effects. It implies a read operation but does not explicitly state it, nor any constraints like authentication or destructive potential.
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, which is concise, but it lacks important details about pagination and behavior, making it under-specified for the complexity of the tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given pagination parameters and no output schema, the description does not explain how to use pagination or what the response looks like. It is insufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are documented in the schema. The description adds no extra meaning, so it meets the baseline of 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Retrieves' and the resource 'list of charge objects'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like showCharge (single) and createCharge, but it could be more specific about the list nature.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidelines are provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to use pagination parameters). The description lacks any context for its 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?
No annotations provided. The description only says 'Update' without disclosing mutation behavior (e.g., idempotency, required fields, side effects). For a mutation tool, this is insufficient.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence—concise but lacking necessary detail. It earns its place but should be expanded for better usability.
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 no output schema and no annotations, the description should provide behavioral context. It fails to do so, leaving the agent with only a vague idea of the tool's usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% coverage with a description for the 'body' parameter, but it's just 'Request body'—minimal. The description adds no additional meaning, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Update a subscription' clearly states the verb and resource, distinguishing it from tools like retrieve or cancel. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools that update subscription items, so it's clear but not fully distinct.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as cancel or retrieve. No context about prerequisites or scenarios, leaving the agent without direction.
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 the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'Create a usage record' without mentioning idempotency, side effects, permissions, or rate limits. This is insufficient for an agent to understand the tool's 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.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise (one sentence), but it is underinformative. While brevity is valued, the sentence does not earn its place as it fails to provide necessary details for a CRUD creation tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the lack of output schema, annotations, and the presence of nested objects in the input schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain what the tool returns, how the body should be structured, or how it relates to other usage record tools.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% coverage with a single 'body' parameter described as 'Request body'. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate since schema coverage is high, but the description misses an opportunity to explain the expected structure of the body.
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 'Create a usage record' clearly states the verb (create) and resource (usage record), distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'UsageRecords_Retrieveausagereco' and 'UsageRecords_Listallusagerecord'. However, it does not elaborate on what a usage record represents, which could cause ambiguity with similar create tools like 'createCharge'.
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. The description lacks context such as prerequisites, typical use cases, or situations where another tool (e.g., 'createCharge') might be more appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the action (retrieve) without revealing whether the operation is read-only, requires authentication, or has any side effects. It does not explain scope or implicit behavior, leaving the agent with insufficient context.
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 very concise: one sentence, no filler. It is front-loaded with the key action. While it earns its place without verbosity, it could sacrifice completeness (see contextual_completeness). The brevity is acceptable but not exemplary.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description should compensate by explaining what exactly is retrieved (e.g., which usage record, default behavior). It does not. The description is too sparse to be contextually complete, leaving the agent unsure of the tool's precise functionality.
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?
The input schema has no parameters, and schema description coverage is 100% (since none exist). According to guidelines, 0 parameters sets a baseline of 4. The description adds no parameter details because there are no parameters to describe. However, it fails to explain what 'a usage-record' refers to, which could be considered a missing semantic for the implicit input (e.g., which record?).
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 'Retrieve a usage-record', which is a verb+resource indicating the action and object. However, it is a tautology of the truncated tool name 'UsageRecords_Retrieveausagereco' and does not clarify what qualifies as a 'usage-record' or how this retrieval differs from listing (UsageRecords_Listallusagerecord). It lacks specificity to fully distinguish from 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?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or exclusions. The agent receives no help in deciding between this and sibling tools like UsageRecords_Listallusagerecord or UsageRecords_Createausagerecord.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description bears full burden. Only states 'Retrieve', implying read-only and non-destructive. No disclosure of authentication needs, error behavior when webhook not found, rate limits, or response format.
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 (3 words) but lacks detail, bordering on under-specification. Every word is relevant but does not add value beyond the tool name. Could be considered too terse for effective agent 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 no output schema, 2 optional params with vague descriptions, and no annotations, the description is insufficient. Missing clarification on required identifier (if any), return type, and how this differs from listing webhooks. Incomplete for a retrieval tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% (both parameters documented in schema as 'Query parameter: ...'). Description adds no additional meaning beyond what schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate as schema already covers parameter names and types.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description uses specific verb 'Retrieve' and resource 'webhook', clearly indicating a read operation. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling 'Webhooks_Listallwebhooks' which also retrieves webhooks but in a list. No mention of retrieval by ID or other criteria.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list, create, update, delete webhooks. No prerequisites mentioned (e.g., need a webhook ID). The tool name implies retrieving a single webhook but the schema lacks an ID parameter, causing confusion.
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, and description only says 'Creates a new post.' Does not disclose side effects, return value, auth requirements, or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like updatePost or addPet. Misses opportunity to note prerequisites or context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must convey behavioral traits. It implies read-only retrieval but omits details about error handling, authentication requirements, or what happens if the customer is not found.
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 three words, with no redundant information. Every word is essential, and it is front-loaded with the action.
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 no parameters, the description fails to specify which customer is retrieved, the return format (since no output schema is provided), or any required context. This leaves significant ambiguity for an AI agent.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has no parameters (100% coverage by default). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, but there is no need for parameter details. The baseline of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Retrieve a customer' with a specific verb and resource. However, it does not distinguish from similar sibling tools like 'Products_Retrieveaproduct' or 'Orders_Retrieveanorder', which follow the same pattern.

Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'discount redemptions', making the purpose obvious. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like Discounts_Listalldiscounts or DiscountRedemptions_Retrieveadi, which are similar listing tools.
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 usage guidelines are provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when a specific redemption is needed or when dealing with discounts instead of redemptions.
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. Description merely says 'List all' without disclosing pagination, rate limits, or any behavioral traits. Minimal transparency for a list operation.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise single sentence with no wasted words. However, given the tool's simplicity, this is appropriate. Slightly more structure (e.g., noting it returns all instances without filtering) could improve, but not required.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Lacks output schema and annotations. Description should provide context about what a license key instance is or the response format. For a simple list, this might be borderline, but compared to siblings, it is incomplete.
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?
No parameters, so the description does not need to add param meaning. According to rules, 0 params sets a baseline of 4. The description is sufficient for the parameter-less schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'List all license key instances', specifying the verb and resource. However, the name has a typo ('Listalllice'), which could cause confusion, but the description itself is unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives like 'LicenseKeyInstances_Retrieveali' or 'LicenseKeys_Listalllicensekeys'. No context or exclusions provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations available, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states a generic 'list' operation without mentioning pagination, rate limits, or any side effects. This is insufficient for an agent to understand 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus other list tools (e.g., Prices_Listallprices). There are no usage context hints or prerequisites 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 must fully disclose behavior. It implies a read-only retrieval but does not explain what 'current usage' entails, how it is scoped (e.g., requires item ID from context), or any rate limits or side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, front-loading the action and object. Minor grammatical issue ('a subscription items') slightly detracts but overall efficient.
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 no output schema, the description should explain the return value structure. The phrase 'current usage' is vague; does it return a number, a breakdown, or a report? Lacks completeness for a retrieval tool.

Single sentence, extremely concise and front-loaded with the core purpose. No wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Does not specify return format, pagination, or any contextual details. For a list-all operation, missing output schema makes it incomplete. Agent cannot know what to expect.
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?
No parameters exist, so schema coverage is 100%. Description adds no parameter info, but none is needed. Baseline 4 for 0 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?
Description clearly states the action ('List all') and the resource ('order items'), distinguishing it from siblings like OrderItems_Retrieveanorderitem (single item retrieval) and other list tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites or exclusions provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must carry the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states 'List all subscription invoices' without any information about pagination, ordering, rate limits, or side effects. This is insufficient for an 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with a single sentence. It is appropriately sized for a simple tool but could benefit from additional structure or detail about what is returned.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a tool with no parameters and no output schema, the description is minimally sufficient. However, it lacks details on pagination, ordering, or any filters, which are common for list tools. Overall 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.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are no parameters, so the input schema provides full coverage. The description adds no additional parameter semantics, but according to the rule, 0 parameters results in a baseline of 4.
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 'List all subscription invoices' clearly states the verb (list) and the resource (subscription invoices), making the tool's purpose immediately obvious. It distinguishes from siblings like SubscripitonInvoices_Retrieveas (which retrieves a single invoice) and other list tools in the sibling list.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No usage guidance is provided. The description does not indicate when to use this tool versus alternatives like listCharges or listCheckouts. There is no mention of when to use or not use this tool.
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 behavioral details beyond 'list all'. No information on pagination, rate limits, or potential side effects. With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of disclosure and fails to provide adequate transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no wasted words. However, it is extremely minimal and could benefit from slight expansion for clarity.
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 zero parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is the sole source of information. It conveys the essential action but lacks additional context such as result format, ordering, or limitations. It is adequate for a simple list tool but not exceptional.
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?
With zero parameters, schema coverage is trivially 100%. The description adds no parameter information, but none is needed. Baseline for 0 params is 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'List' and the resource 'all subscription items', distinguishing it from sibling tools like SubscripitonItems_Retrieveasubs (single retrieval) and SubscripitonItems_Updateasubscr (update).
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. There is no mention of filters, pagination, or comparisons to other list tools. The agent is left to infer usage context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description only says 'List all customers'. Does not disclose pagination, sorting, rate limits, or safety (read-only nature). Agent lacks key behavioral traits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise, one sentence with no wasted words. Front-loaded with the core action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple list-all tool, description is adequate but lacks output format information (no output schema). Could mention pagination or result structure. Still, it conveys the basic functionality.
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?
Zero parameters; baseline set to 4 per instructions. Description adds no param info beyond schema, but schema coverage is 100% (no params to describe).
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'List all customers', identifying the verb (list) and resource (customers). It distinguishes from sibling 'Customers_Retrieveacustomer' which retrieves a single customer.
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 other list tools (e.g., listCharges, Stores_Listallstores). Agent must infer usage from name alone.
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 bears full responsibility for behavioral transparency. It only states the retrieval action without disclosing whether the operation is read-only, requires authentication, supports pagination, or has any side effects. This lack of detail leaves significant 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, front-loaded sentence with no wasted words. It is highly concise and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple retrieval tool with one required parameter and no output schema, the description covers the basic purpose. However, it omits details on the return format (e.g., array of comment objects) and any pagination or ordering behavior, leaving some contextual 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?
Schema coverage is 100% (one parameter described). The description does not add meaning beyond the schema's parameter description. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description 'Retrieves all comments for a specific post' clearly states the verb (retrieves) and resource (comments for a post). It is specific and distinct from sibling tools like listPosts or getPostById, with no overlap.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage when you need comments for a given post ID, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor provides exclusions or prerequisites. The guidance is implicit, not explicit.
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 'List all variants'. It does not disclose pagination, ordering, or other behavioral traits. The agent lacks context on the response format or potential side effects.
