Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v0.1.0
- Disambiguation5/5
Each tool targets a distinct domain (Bluetooth, cell, WiFi, stats) with clear search/detail pairs. No overlapping purposes.
Naming Consistency5/5All tools follow a consistent domain_action pattern (e.g., bluetooth_detail, network_search). No mixing of conventions.
Tool Count5/58 tools is well-scoped for querying three data types plus stats. Each tool earns its place, neither too few nor too many.
Completeness5/5For a read-only database query service, the surface covers search and detail for each data type, plus site and user stats. No obvious gaps.

How to sync the server with GitHub?
Servers are automatically synced at least once per day, but you can also sync manually at any time to instantly update the server profile.
To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.
How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, which are consistent with a read-only search. The description does not add behavioral details beyond what annotations provide, such as pagination behavior, result limits, or rate limits. It does not contradict 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 a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded. Every word adds value, with no redundancy or unnecessary details. It efficiently conveys the core purpose.
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 9 parameters including pagination ('search_after') and bounding box, the description omits crucial context like pagination mechanics (cursor use) and that results are limited per page. While the output schema may document the response, the description should hint at pagination for proper agent invocation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, with each parameter having a description. The description groups parameters by type (name, MAC, location) but does not add significant meaning beyond what the schema already provides. For example, it does not explain the SQL LIKE pattern syntax for 'name_like' that is already in 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 the tool searches WiGLE's Bluetooth/BLE database by name, MAC, or location. It uses a specific verb ('Search') and resource ('WiGLE's database of observed Bluetooth/BLE devices'), and the criteria are listed. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like bluetooth_detail (which likely retrieves details for a single device) and other type-specific searches.
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 Bluetooth/BLE searches but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. It lacks guidance on when not to use it or preferred scenarios. Sibling tools are mentioned in context but not referenced in the description.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows it's a safe read operation. The description adds no extra behavioral context beyond what annotations provide.
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?
A single, well-structured sentence that is front-loaded with the action and resource. Every word earns its place.
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 9 optional parameters, full schema descriptions, an output schema, and clear annotations, the description is nearly complete. It could mention bounding box constraints or pagination, but these are covered in the schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so each parameter has a clear description in the schema. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond that.
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 'Search WiGLE's database of observed cell towers by ID, operator, network type, or location.' It uses a specific verb ('Search') and resource, and distinguishes from sibling tools like bluetooth_search and network_search.
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 searching cell towers but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, nor mentions alternatives like network_search for Wi-Fi.
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?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds context beyond annotations by specifying the scope ('everything WiGLE knows') and mentioning 'name history and recorded sighting locations.' It does not contradict annotations and provides useful behavioral insight, though it could mention potential limitations like data recency or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, front-loaded with the action, and contains no redundant or unnecessary words. Every part earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's simplicity (1 parameter, read-only, idempotent) and the presence of an output schema, the description is largely complete. It mentions key data returned (name history, sighting locations). Could elaborate on whether all history or recent sightings, but likely covered by output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with a single parameter 'bssid' described in the schema. The description reinforces its purpose ('by its MAC address') but adds no new meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Look up everything WiGLE knows about a single Bluetooth/BLE device by its MAC address, including name history and recorded sighting locations.' It uses a specific verb ('look up') and resource ('Bluetooth/BLE device by its MAC address'), and distinguishes from siblings by focusing on detailed data for a single device.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage (when you need detailed info on a specific Bluetooth device by MAC), but does not explicitly state when to use or when not to use this tool versus alternatives like bluetooth_search. No exclusions or alternative recommendations are provided.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, establishing safety and idempotency. The description adds 'Search WiGLE's database', reinforcing a read-only operation. No contradictions, and the description provides minimal but sufficient behavioral context on top of 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?
A single sentence that front-loads the main action and scope. No redundant words or unnecessary details. Every part of the description earns its place.
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 14 optional parameters and an output schema exists, the description adequately covers the tool's purpose. It does not explain pagination or the 'search_after' parameter, but these are documented in the schema. The description is complete enough for an agent to understand core functionality.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so each parameter is already documented. The tool description summarizes the parameter categories (SSID, BSSID, location, encryption) but adds no new semantic detail 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.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it searches WiGLE's database of WiFi networks by multiple criteria (SSID, BSSID, location, or encryption). The tool name 'network_search' and the description distinguish it from sibling tools like 'bluetooth_search' and 'network_detail', which focus on different network types or individual records.
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?
No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. While the name and description imply WiFi network search, and siblings suggest alternatives for other network types, the description does not state when to prefer this over more specific tools like 'network_detail' or when to use pagination parameters.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds behavioral context by specifying what data is returned (SSID history, encryption, locations), which is beyond the annotations. No contradictions.
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 efficiently conveys all necessary information with no redundant or vague 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 presence of an output schema (context signal), the description need not detail return values. It sufficiently covers the purpose, inputs, and key outputs (SSID history, encryption, locations). Annotations cover safety and idempotency.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The only parameter bssid is fully described in the schema (100% coverage), so the description adds no additional meaning beyond confirming its use. Baseline score of 3 applies.
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 a specific verb 'Look up' and explicitly states the resource 'single network by its BSSID', listing included data (SSID history, encryption, locations). It clearly distinguishes from sibling tools like network_search (which searches) and bluetooth_detail/cell_detail (different network types).
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 retrieving detailed information about a known network by BSSID, but lacks explicit guidance on when to prefer this tool over alternatives (e.g., network_search for queries, bluetooth_detail for Bluetooth). No 'when not to use' or prerequisite conditions are stated.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint. The description adds context by naming the returned fields (rank, monthly rank, counts) and specifying the scope ('configured API user'), which goes beyond 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 a single, well-structured sentence that conveys the tool's purpose and output without any unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the action verb 'Get'.
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 no input parameters and an existing output schema, the description provides sufficient context. It mentions the user scope and key output fields, though it could briefly note that authentication is required (implied by 'configured API user').
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description does not need to add parameter details, and it appropriately focuses on the output.
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 WiGLE account statistics for the configured API user, specifying the exact data (rank, monthly rank, counts). It distinguishes from sibling tools like network_search or bluetooth_detail by focusing on user-level statistics.
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 the tool is for querying account-level stats, but does not explicitly state when to prefer it over site_stats or other tools. No when-not-to-use or alternative recommendations are provided.
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?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. Description adds that it returns 'everything WiGLE knows' including operator/network and sighting locations, providing more context without contradicting 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?
Single sentence, no redundant words, and effectively communicates the tool's purpose and scope.
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 low complexity (1 parameter, output schema present, rich annotations), the description is sufficiently complete. It covers the tool's function and return information without needing extra details.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% and includes an example for netid. The description contextualizes 'by its ID' but does not add further semantics beyond what the schema already provides, resulting in a baseline score.
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 uses specific verb 'look up' and resource 'cell tower by its ID', clearly distinguishing from sibling searches (e.g., cell_search, network_detail). It explains what information is returned (operator/network type, sighting locations).
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?
Context implies usage when a specific cell tower ID is known, and sibling names suggest alternatives, 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.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, not destructive; description adds specificity on returned statistics, providing value beyond 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?
Single, clear sentence that front-loads the action and lists outputs efficiently, with no fluff.
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?
Output schema exists (not shown), so description need not detail return format; it covers all relevant statistic categories, and annotations are sufficient for a read-only 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?
No parameters exist (schema coverage 100%), so description need not add param info; adequate baseline given no params.
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 'Get WiGLE-wide statistics' and lists specific metrics (WiFi/cell/Bluetooth networks, locations, users, upload totals), distinguishing from sibling tools like user_stats (per-user) and search tools.
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?
Implying use for aggregate stats, but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use compared to siblings; context from sibling names partially clarifies.
