TallyPrime MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a unique and clear purpose. Voucher creation tools are separated by type (journal, payment, purchase, receipt, sales), and query tools target distinct reports (balance sheet, profit/loss, trial balance, etc.). No overlaps or ambiguity.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., create_journal_voucher, get_balance_sheet). No mixing of styles or irregular naming.
Tool Count5/517 tools is appropriate for an accounting server covering voucher creation, ledger management, and financial reports. The number is well-scoped without being overwhelming or too sparse.
Completeness4/5The set covers core CRUD operations for vouchers and ledgers, and provides essential financial reports. However, it lacks update/delete operations for vouchers and ledgers, and misses some advanced features like GST filing.
Average 3.6/5 across 17 of 17 tools scored.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description lacks behavioral details such as side effects, required permissions, or response format. It merely states the action without disclosing what happens or what the output contains, despite an output schema being present.
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 short and front-loaded, conveying purpose and parameter details in two compact sections. Every sentence adds value, though the Args section could be formatted more clearly as a list.
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 create operation with an output schema, the description covers parameter usage but omits the output structure. It is adequate but leaves the agent guessing about the return value or error handling.
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 0% schema description coverage, the description compensates by specifying date format (YYYYMMDD), ledger roles (debit/credit), amount as a number, and narration as optional. This adds meaningful context beyond the schema's property titles.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool creates a journal voucher in TallyPrime, specifying it's for adjustment or contra entries. This distinguishes it from sales, payment, or purchase vouchers, though it doesn't explicitly name alternatives.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 siblings like create_payment_voucher or create_purchase_voucher. The description does not mention prerequisites, scenarios, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Get' (implying read-only) but does not mention safety, idempotency, error behavior, authentication, or rate limits. This is insufficient for a tool with no annotations.
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 two sentences, front-loading the purpose, with no extraneous words. It is optimally concise for a simple tool with one parameter.
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 (1 required param, no nested objects, output schema exists), the description covers the core purpose and parameter semantics. However, it lacks details on what 'details' entail, whether pagination exists for vouchers, or error handling when the ledger is not found. The presence of an output schema mitigates the need to describe return values, but other gaps remain.
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% (no descriptions in schema), so the description compensates by adding that 'name' is the 'Exact ledger name as it appears in TallyPrime (case-sensitive).' This provides meaningful formatting and case-sensitivity details 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.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Get details and recent vouchers for a specific ledger,' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like 'get_all_ledgers' (which returns all ledgers) and 'get_vouchers' (which lacks ledger specificity). However, 'details' is vague but acceptable.
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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'get_all_ledgers' or 'get_vouchers.' The description implies usage for a specific ledger but does not state when not to use it or provide alternative recommendations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description lacks details on side effects, return values, prerequisites (e.g., ledger existence), or error conditions. It only describes the creation action without 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?
The description is concise: one sentence summary followed by a bullet-point list of parameters. Every sentence adds value, and the structure is easy to parse for an AI agent.
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 (7 params, no annotations, output schema not described), the description lacks context on return values, prerequisites, and differentiation from sibling tools like create_payment_voucher. It is incomplete for full autonomous use.
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 0% schema description coverage, the description adds essential meaning for all 7 parameters: date format, role of party_ledger and purchase_ledger, tax handling, and narration. Some parameter roles could be more explicit, but overall effective.
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 'Create a purchase invoice in TallyPrime', specifying the exact verb (create), resource (purchase invoice), and system. This uniquely identifies the tool among siblings like create_sales_voucher.
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 create_sales_voucher or create_payment_voucher. The description does not mention scenarios or prerequisites, leaving usage context implicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- 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 only mentions the action and parameters, but does not disclose side effects, authorization requirements, error behavior, or whether the operation is idempotent. The sign convention for opening_balance is helpful, but overall behavioral context is minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, with a clear first sentence stating the purpose, followed by parameter definitions in a structured list. It is efficient and front-loaded, though could be slightly more compact.
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 adequately explains the parameters for a simple creation tool. It doesn't cover behavioral aspects like idempotency or error handling, which are important for a mutation tool. However, the presence of an output schema (not described) reduces the need to explain return values. Overall, it is minimally viable but leaves gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description fully compensates by explaining each parameter: 'name' for the ledger name, 'group' with examples like 'Sundry Debtors', and 'opening_balance' with its sign convention (positive=Debit, negative=Credit) and default value of 0. This adds substantial meaning beyond 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 'Create a new ledger in TallyPrime', specifying the action ('Create'), the resource ('ledger'), and the context ('in TallyPrime'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like create_journal_voucher, which create different 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?
The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It only describes the tool itself without indicating prerequisites, exclusivity, or situations where another tool would 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 provided, and the description only says 'Get' implying read-only but lacks details on response format, limitations, or authentication needs.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Short and clear, though could be more structured with separate sections.
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?
Output schema exists so return values are covered, but missing usage guidelines and behavioral transparency make it incomplete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema has 0% description coverage, but the description adds date format (YYYYMMDD) and examples, significantly enhancing parameter understanding.
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 gets the Profit and Loss statement from TallyPrime, specifying the resource and system, and distinguishes from sibling tools like get_balance_sheet.
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 context provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It only states the purpose without disclosing behavior such as read-only nature, data freshness, or any side effects. Minimal value added 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is short and includes parameter documentation in a clear docstring format. However, it could be slightly more structured (e.g., separate sections). No wasted sentences.
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?
The output schema exists, so return values need not be described. The description covers both required parameters with format examples. It is sufficient for a simple retrieval tool, though lacks context on what the trial balance report contains.
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?
Although the schema has 0% description coverage, the description explicitly documents both parameters with format examples (YYYYMMDD), adding meaning beyond the schema properties which only have titles.
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 'Get the Trial Balance from TallyPrime', with a specific verb and resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_balance_sheet and get_profit_loss, which produce different financial reports.

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., get_balance_sheet). There is no mention of prerequisites, context, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description lacks behavioral disclosure beyond stating it retrieves a balance sheet. It does not mention that it is a read-only operation, response format, or any potential 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is very concise: two sentences plus an args block. It is front-loaded with the main purpose and immediately provides parameter details.
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 presence of an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values. It adequately covers the tool's input and purpose, though it could briefly mention what the balance sheet includes.
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 description adds value by specifying the exact format for the as_of_date parameter (YYYYMMDD) and providing an example, which is not present in the input schema. Schema description coverage is 0%, so this compensates well.
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 action (Get), the resource (Balance Sheet), and the context (from TallyPrime as of a specific date). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_profit_loss or get_trial_balance.
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. It does not mention when not to use it or suggest other tools for different scenarios.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits but only states 'Fetch vouchers' (implying read-only). It omits details on authentication, rate limits, pagination, result limits, or error handling, which are critical for a data fetching tool.
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: a single sentence stating purpose followed by a bulleted parameter list. Every element is necessary, and the format is front-loaded and easy to parse.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description covers purpose and parameter semantics adequately. Since an output schema exists, the lack of return value details is less critical. However, it could mention pagination or behavior for empty results. Overall, it is nearly complete for this moderate-complexity tool.
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 0% description coverage, but the description compensates by explaining date formats (YYYYMMDD with examples) and voucher_type filter options (list of values, empty = all). This adds significant meaning beyond the schema's titles and default.
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 'Fetch vouchers from TallyPrime Day Book for a date range', specifying the verb (fetch), resource (vouchers), source (Day Book), and scope (date range). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_ledger or get_daybook, which focus on different data types.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 get_daybook or the create_* voucher tools. The description lacks when-not-to-use scenarios or comparisons, leaving the agent to infer context from sibling names 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 provided; description only states creation without disclosing side effects, permissions, or return value. Minimal behavioral context beyond the basic action.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
One-sentence purpose followed by bulleted args. No superfluous text; every sentence adds value. Front-loaded and efficient.
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?
Covers inputs adequately but lacks preconditions (e.g., ledgers must exist) and error conditions. Output schema exists, so return value details are forgone.
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?
All parameters are described with added semantics: date format YYYYMMDD, ledger roles, and narration optionality. Compensates for 0% schema coverage by adding meaning beyond types.
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 'Create a payment voucher in TallyPrime (money going out)', specifying verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_receipt_voucher (money coming in).
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?
Implies usage for outgoing payments via 'money going out', but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use compared to alternative voucher types like journal or purchase vouchers.
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 disclose behavioral traits. It only mentions that party_ledger must exist in Tally and the date format. It does not describe error handling, side effects, required permissions, or success conditions.
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: one sentence for purpose followed by a clear argument list. No redundant information, and the most important info (purpose) is front-loaded.
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 7 parameters and the existence of an output schema, the description covers all parameters adequately but lacks usage guidance and behavioral context. It does not mention prerequisites like company selection or constraints on date range.
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 description coverage is 0%, but the description provides detailed parameter info: date format, ledger existence requirement, amount excluding tax, optional narration, and tax fields with defaults. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema titles.
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 explicitly states 'Create a sales invoice in TallyPrime.' The verb 'Create' and resource 'sales invoice' are clear. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_purchase_voucher and create_receipt_voucher by specifying 'sales invoice'.
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 for creating sales invoices but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives like create_purchase_voucher. No exclusions or alternative suggestions 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?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Get', implying read-only, but does not mention idempotency, authentication requirements, or any side effects. Minimal transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, directly states purpose with no superfluous words. Front-loaded and efficient.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with no parameters and an output schema present, the description is sufficient. It tells the agent exactly what the tool does, and the output schema details the return structure.
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 is 4. The description adds value by specifying that the tool retrieves the 'currently active company open in TallyPrime', clarifying what is returned beyond the empty 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 specifies the verb 'Get' and the resource 'currently active company open in TallyPrime'. It uniquely identifies the tool's function among siblings, which focus on creating vouchers/ledgers or retrieving other data.
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 use cases, prerequisites, or exclusions. The agent must infer context from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations exist, so description carries full burden. Only describes what it does, with no mention of safety (read-only), permissions, side effects, or return behavior. Lacks necessary 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Extremely concise: one sentence for purpose, two lines for args. No redundant information. Front-loaded with key 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?
Output schema exists, so return values are covered. Low complexity tool, but missing usage guidelines and behavioral transparency. Adequate but with 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?
Schema coverage is 0%, but description includes useful param details (date format YYYYMMDD) for both parameters. Adds meaning beyond schema titles, fully compensating for coverage gap.
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?
Clearly states the tool retrieves the Day Book (all vouchers) from TallyPrime filtered by date range. Verb and resource are specific, and it distinguishes from sibling tools like get_vouchers.
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?
Implied usage (for date range), but no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over alternatives like get_vouchers or other get tools. No when-not-to-use or exclusions provided.
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 read-only behavior but lacks details like return format or that it returns all groups without filtering.
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?
One short, direct sentence with no unnecessary words, perfectly front-loaded.
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's simplicity (no parameters, output schema exists), the description is sufficient. Could mention that it returns all groups without filtering, but not essential.
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 tool has zero parameters, and schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 4 applies. The description does not need to add parameter meaning.
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 retrieves all account groups in TallyPrime, using a specific verb and resource, and distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_all_ledgers.
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., get_all_ledgers, get_daybook), nor any context for typical workflow integration.
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 given, so the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It indicates the tool retrieves all ledgers, implying a read-only operation, but does not mention any behavioral traits such as performance implications, sorting, or pagination. It is adequate but minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise, front-loaded, and contains no extraneous information. It efficiently communicates the tool's function without waste.
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?
The tool is a simple list retrieval with an output schema likely detailing the return structure. The description covers the key output fields (group and closing balance) and is suitable for a low-complexity tool. However, it could mention that the list is unfiltered or always returns all ledgers.
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 in the input schema, so the description adds value by stating what will be returned (all ledgers with group and closing balance). The schema coverage is 100% (by default), and the description compensates by clarifying the output content.
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 uses the specific verb 'Get' and resource 'all ledgers', clearly stating the action and scope. It also specifies 'with their group and closing balance', adding detail that distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_ledger' (single ledger) and 'create_ledger' (create operation).
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 or when not to use it. For example, it does not mention that for a specific ledger, 'get_ledger' might be more appropriate, or that this tool returns all ledgers without filtering.
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 behavioral traits. However, it only describes the action without mentioning side effects, permissions, or system behavior. For a creation tool, it does not state that it records a transaction in TallyPrime or any consequences.
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: a one-line intro followed by a bullet-like list of args. Every sentence adds useful information, and the structure allows quick scanning.
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 output schema exists but the description does not explain return values, which is acceptable per guidelines. However, for a creation tool, it lacks context on what happens after voucher creation (e.g., confirmation, error handling). The parameter explanations are complete, but overall context is minimal.
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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It provides concise explanations for each parameter, including date format (YYYYMMDD), roles of bank_ledger and party_ledger, and optional narration. This adds value beyond the schema titles.
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 creates a receipt voucher with the parenthetical 'money coming in', distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_payment_voucher. The verb 'create' and resource 'receipt voucher' are specific and unambiguous.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The phrase 'money coming in' implicitly guides when to use this tool versus other voucher creations (e.g., payment voucher for money going out), but there is no explicit when-not-to-use guidance or mention of alternatives. The context is clear but lacks explicit exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It describes parameter behavior (default date, optional filter) but does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, has side effects, or requires specific permissions. More detail is needed for a complete behavioral picture.
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: one sentence for purpose, then a clear args list. Every sentence is necessary and efficient, with no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (2 optional parameters) and the presence of an output schema (so return values are already documented), the description covers all essential aspects: purpose and parameter semantics. It is complete for an agent to select and invoke the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does 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 explains both parameters: 'as_of_date' with format 'YYYYMMDD' and default behavior, and 'party_name' as an optional filter. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema, which only has empty defaults and string types.
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 'Get outstanding receivables (money owed to you) from TallyPrime', using a specific verb and resource. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like creation vouchers or other reports.
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 use for retrieving receivables but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. Given sibling tools are mostly creation-oriented, the context is clear but lacks exclusions.
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 the full burden. It implies a read-only operation with 'Get', but does not mention side effects, authorization needs, or return format (though output schema exists). The description is adequate but lacks explicit 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?
Description is extremely concise with two clear sentences, no redundant information, and front-loaded purpose. Every sentence adds value.
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 only one required parameter and an output schema, the description covers purpose and parameter format adequately. It lacks behavioral transparency but is otherwise complete for a simple date-filtered query tool.
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 0% schema description coverage, the description adds essential format guidance ('Date YYYYMMDD') and an example, which is meaningful beyond the schema's string type declaration. It compensates well for the lack of schema-level parameter documentation.
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 tool retrieves Stock Summary (inventory) from TallyPrime as of a specific date, using action verb 'Get' and specifying the resource and context, which distinguishes it from siblings like 'get_balance_sheet' or 'create_sales_voucher'.
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?
Implicitly clear that this tool is for inventory summary queries, and sibling tool names (e.g., 'get_balance_sheet', 'get_profit_loss') indicate different reports, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
