Server Quality Checklist

67%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.2.2

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose: initialization, checkpointing, tracking, status, diff, logging, rollback, revert, redo, compensating, recording HTTP and reversal commands, and email staging/cancel. No ambiguity between them.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent walkback_<action> or walkback_<action>_<target> pattern, with clear verb-noun structure. No mixing of conventions.

    Tool Count4/5

    16 tools is slightly above the typical well-scoped range (3-15), but each tool serves a necessary role in the undo workflow, including email handling. The count is justified and not excessive.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool set covers checkpointing, file tracking, external effect recording, reversing, and email lifecycle. Minor gaps exist (e.g., automatic tracking of all changes) but the surface is comprehensive for its domain.

  • Average 4/5 across 16 of 16 tools scored. Lowest: 3.3/5.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden for behavioral disclosure. It only says 'list in order' but does not mention read-only nature, permissions needed, or side effects. For a list operation, agents need to know if it is safe.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single concise sentence that gets to the point. It could be slightly more informative without adding much length, but it is efficient.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the tool has no output schema, no annotations, and many siblings, the description is too minimal. It does not explain return values, ordering specifics, or behavior differences from similar tools like walkback_status.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The input schema has 100% coverage with a single parameter 'cwd' described. The tool description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states 'List every checkpoint and effect in order,' providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes the tool from siblings like walkback_checkpoint or walkback_status by indicating it returns the full history.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description implies the tool is for listing history, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like walkback_status or walkback_diff. No exclusions 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.

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations provided. The description only states the action without disclosing side effects, permissions, or limitations. For a tool that likely performs a read-only operation, the description does not confirm this or provide additional 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.

    Conciseness5/5

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

    One sentence, no wasted words. The purpose is front-loaded and clearly communicated.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    Given the single optional parameter and no output schema, the description is minimally adequate. However, lack of usage guidelines and behavioral transparency makes it incomplete for a tool in a family of similar tools.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100% for the single optional parameter 'cwd'. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Description clearly states 'Show every effect recorded since the most recent checkpoint,' which is a specific verb (Show) and resource (effects since checkpoint). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like walkback_diff or walkback_log.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many sibling tools (e.g., walkback_log, walkback_diff), the description does not help the agent decide which tool is appropriate.

    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 carries the burden. It discloses that emails are staged (not yet released) and can still be cancelled, which is useful behavioral information beyond the title. However, it lacks details on authorization, side effects, or output format.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Single sentence, no wasted words. Every part earns its place, clearly communicating the tool's purpose and a key behavioral trait.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    For a simple listing tool with one optional parameter and no output schema, the description is adequate. It explains what is shown and a key property (cancellability). Could mention output type (e.g., list of identifiers) but not necessary given simplicity.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The only parameter, cwd, is well-described in the input schema (100% coverage). The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Description clearly states verb 'show' and resource 'emails staged but not yet released', distinguishing from sibling tools like cancel, release, and stage. It tells exactly what the tool does.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the sibling names hint at context (cancel, release), the description does not provide usage 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?

    No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions gitignoring snapshots but lacks details on filesystem changes, idempotency, or consequences of multiple runs. More transparency is needed for a setup tool.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is two sentences, front-loading the core purpose and usage guidance. Every sentence adds value with no wasted words.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    Given the tool's simplicity (one optional parameter), the description is adequate but could be more complete. It does not mention prerequisites, error conditions, or idempotency. For a setup tool, these details would improve completeness.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% and the parameter description for 'cwd' is adequate. The tool description adds no further semantic value beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool sets up the walkback time machine in a project directory and gitignores snapshots, using specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes from siblings by indicating this is the initialization step before checkpointing.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description explicitly says 'Run once before checkpointing,' providing clear context on when to use it. It does not exclude alternatives but implies it is the first step among sibling tools like walkback_checkpoint.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It explicitly states that after this the email is delivered and CANNOT be recalled, disclosing irreversibility—a critical behavioral trait.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action and followed by the key consequence. Every sentence adds value with no waste.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    Given no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the main purpose and irreversible nature. However, it omits prerequisites (e.g., emails must be in a held/staged state) and does not explain behavior when draftId is omitted (implicitly all). Adequate but has gaps.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The tool description does not add any parameter-specific meaning beyond what the schema already provides.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool actually sends held drafts, with the specific verb 'send' and resource 'held drafts'. It distinguishes from siblings like cancel and pending by emphasizing delivery and irreversibility.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description implies usage for sending held drafts but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like cancel or stage. No 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.

  • Behavior3/5

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

    No annotations provided, so description must carry behavioral disclosure. It explains the core behavior (logging with optional compensator) but omits details like auth requirements, side effects, error handling, or what happens after logging.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Single sentence that front-loads the purpose and includes a concrete example. No superfluous words.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    With 6 parameters and no output schema, the description covers the core functionality but lacks details on return value, error states, or how logged entries are used later. Adequate but not comprehensive.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with clear descriptions. The description adds meaning by explaining the optional compensator parameters (Url, Body, Method) and their role in undoing mutations, which goes beyond the schema's basic labels.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Description clearly states the tool logs an HTTP mutation (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) made by the agent, with an optional compensating request for undo. It distinguishes from siblings like walkback_record_reversal by focusing on HTTP mutations and compensating requests.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    Description implies usage for logging HTTP mutations when undo capability is needed, but lacks explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance compared to similar tools like walkback_record_reversal or walkback_log.

    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 provided, so description carries full burden. Discloses recording behavior and relationship to compensation tool, but does not detail validation, persistence, or side effects of recording. Adequate but not thorough.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    Concise single paragraph with front-loaded purpose, examples, and relation to sibling. No redundant sentences, but could be slightly better structured with bullet points.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    Explains role in walkback system and gives use-case examples. However, does not address multiple recordings, overwrites, or persistence duration. For a recording tool, this is a gap.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline 3. Description adds value with concrete examples for command and description parameters, plus guidance on capturing prior values for updates/deletes. Exceeds baseline.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Description clearly states verb ('Record') and resource ('command that reverses something'), with specific examples (terraform destroy, aws s3 rb, inverse SQL). Distinguishes from sibling walkback_compensate by noting it will run the recorded command.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    Explicitly relates to walkback_compensate (dry-run gated) and gives when-to-use guidance for UPDATE/DELETE requiring prior values. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use scenarios but is clear enough.

    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 provided, so description bears full burden. It discloses the action (re-apply, re-extend history) but lacks details on destructive potential, idempotency, prerequisites (e.g., a prior rollback), or error handling.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    One sentence, no redundancy, front-loaded with key action. Every phrase adds value.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given low complexity (1 optional param, no output schema) and no annotations, the description is fairly complete. It explains core behavior and context but omits edge cases and results.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema covers the single parameter cwd with a description; the tool description adds no extra semantic meaning beyond that. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the verb (Re-apply) and resource (changes from the most recent walkback_rollback), distinguishing it from siblings like walkback_rollback and walkback_revert by specifying it undoes the last rollback.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    Description implicitly tells when to use: after a rollback. It also mentions re-extending history for further rollbacks, providing context. However, it does not explicitly exclude cases (e.g., when no rollback exists) or compare with alternatives.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior3/5

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

    With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses that other changes remain intact, but does not explain side effects like whether the reversal is tracked as a new change, required permissions, or edge cases (e.g., file unchanged).

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences, zero wasted words, action verb first, efficient.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given the tool's simplicity and lack of output schema, the description covers the core behavior. Missing details about return value and edge cases, but overall sufficient for its purpose.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description adds no further parameter details beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline but doesn't exceed it.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description uses specific verbs ('reverse just a single file') and resources ('most recent change'), and explicitly contrasts with rollback, making the tool's distinct purpose clear.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description states when to use this tool (selective undo) vs. rollback (all-or-nothing), providing clear context. However, it doesn't mention prerequisites like needing a checkpoint or behavior when the file has no changes.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior3/5

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

    No annotations are provided, so the description bears full burden. It states the tool is built from before-snapshots and produces a diff, which suggests read-only behavior. However, it does not explicitly confirm no side effects or disclose any 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.

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences, no fluff. The first sentence defines the action and scope, the second provides origin. Every word earns its place.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    With one optional parameter and no output schema, the description sufficiently covers what the tool does, its data source, and its purpose. No gaps given the tool's simplicity.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% for the single parameter (cwd). The description adds context beyond schema by explaining the diff is built from walkback's own before-snapshots, enhancing understanding.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool provides a PR-style diff of every file changed since the last checkpoint, using before-snapshots. This verb-resource combination is specific and distinguishes from siblings like walkback_checkpoint or walkback_log.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description implies usage (reviewing changes) but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this vs alternatives, nor any exclusions. Sibling tools are listed but not compared.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

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

    No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses the tool saves a state for rewinding and implies safe invocation before changes. No contradictions found.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no waste. Every word adds value.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given the tool's simplicity (2 params, no output schema), the description is sufficient. Could mention revert behavior but implied by sibling tool names.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so description need not add param info. However, the description does not enhance the meaning of 'label' or 'cwd' beyond schema definitions.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool marks a point in time for rewinding and distinguishes it from siblings like walkback_revert. The verb 'mark' and resource 'checkpoint' are specific.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    Explicitly instructs to call 'BEFORE you start making changes,' which provides clear when-to-use context. Does not list alternatives but the timing guidance is strong.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

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

    No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses dry-run behavior, execution flag, and action ordering. It explains which types of actions are compensated (reverse HTTP request, recorded reversal commands). It lacks explicit warnings about irreversibility or failure modes, but is reasonably transparent for a compensation tool.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences with no wasted words. The description is front-loaded with the core action and immediately provides concrete examples. Every sentence earns its place.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given no output schema and no annotations, the description covers purpose, usage (dry-run), and parameter semantics. It could mention what the preview output looks like or what happens on failure, but it's reasonably complete for a tool with two simple parameters.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% for both parameters (cwd, execute). The description adds value over the schema by explaining the dry-run default and the effect of execute=true. This goes beyond the schema's descriptions.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description uses specific verbs and resources: 'Execute the compensating actions recorded since the last checkpoint' with concrete examples (DELETE, refund, cloud teardown, inverse SQL). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like walkback_rollback or walkback_revert by focusing on recorded compensating actions.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description states dry-run default and execute=true to fire, and mentions most-recent-first order. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like walkback_revert or walkback_rollback, nor does it provide exclusion criteria.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

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

    No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It honestly describes behavior: true unsend, deletion, no effect on released emails. Lacks details on permanence or recovery, but adequate for a simple cancellation.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences, no redundant words. First sentence front-loads purpose. Every word serves a clear function.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given no output schema, no annotations, and 2 params, the description covers the main points: action, scope, and what it does not do. Missing return value or side effects, but sufficient for a straightforward deletion.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description restates schema for draftId (omit for all) without adding new semantics. cwd parameter is not elaborated, but its purpose is clear from schema.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the verb 'delete' and resource 'held draft(s)', with the specific outcome 'so they never go out'. It distinguishes from sending by noting 'possible only because they were never delivered'.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    The description indicates the tool is for held drafts and explicitly states it does nothing to released emails. However, it does not contrast with sibling tools like walkback_email_release or walkback_email_pending, leaving some ambiguity about when to use each.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

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

    No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It explains that the email becomes a draft that has gone nowhere and mentions authorization needs. However, it doesn't mention potential error states or what happens if token is missing.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences, no wasted words. Front-loads the core action and then provides alternative usage. Excellent conciseness.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given no annotations and no output schema, the description provides good context about the tool's role in the walkback_email suite. It could mention return value or side effects, but it's adequately complete for a side-effect tool.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so description need not repeat parameter details. But description does not explain the 'cwd' parameter (project directory), which is less intuitive than others. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool holds an email as a draft instead of sending immediately, and contrasts with walkback_email_release and walkback_email_cancel, distinguishing it 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 Guidelines5/5

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

    Explicitly tells when to use (to hold an email) and when to use alternatives (release/cancel). Also mentions the required GMAIL_ACCESS_TOKEN, providing clear usage context.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior4/5

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

    With no annotations, the description fully conveys core behavioral traits: it captures state for reversibility, recursively handles directories, and refuses out-of-project paths. It does not disclose potential side effects like storage or latency, but covers the essential operational details.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is very concise (4 sentences) with the main purpose front-loaded. Every sentence adds value: purpose, why, when, constraints. No wasted words.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given 2 parameters, no output schema, and 16 siblings, the description adequately explains usage and constraints. It lacks details on return value or error handling, but for a simple tool it is reasonably complete.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds extra context for paths (recursive capture, path refusal) and cwd (defaults to server directory), which goes beyond the schema descriptions. This aids correct usage.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool captures file/directory state before changes, using specific verbs ('Capture', 'BEFORE') and explicitly distinguishes from siblings by emphasizing it's for tracking before modification. It identifies the resource and the context of use.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    Provides clear guidance: 'Call it on every path you're about to touch.' and explains the purpose ('makes the change reversible'). It also mentions directories are recursive and paths outside project are refused. However, it does not explicitly compare to sibling tools like walkback_checkpoint or walkback_compensate, nor does it state when not to use.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

  • Behavior5/5

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

    No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that files/dirs/symlinks are restored exactly, network/shell effects are listed for manual handling, and step failure leaves journal intact. This is comprehensive 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.

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences, no wasted words. Essential information is front-loaded and efficiently communicated.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    For a rollback tool with 2 params and no output schema, description covers purpose, behavior, failure handling, and sibling reference. No gaps remain.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, so description does not need to add much. It briefly clarifies cwd as project directory and checkpoint defaults to most recent, but this is already in the schema. Thus baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    Description clearly states 'Reverse every change made since a checkpoint', a specific verb+resource. It also distinguishes from sibling walkback_redo which reverses a rollback.

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

    Usage Guidelines5/5

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

    Explicitly says when to use (to reverse changes since a checkpoint), describes failure behavior (journal left intact for safe retry), and recommends walkback_redo as alternative for reversing a rollback.

    Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
