N-central MCP Server
Server Quality Checklist
Latest release: v2.1.0
- Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have distinct purposes, but some pairs like list_devices vs list_devices_by_org_unit or get_server_info vs get_server_info_authenticated could cause minor confusion. Overall, the descriptions aid disambiguation.
Naming Consistency5/5All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern. Verbs are well-chosen (create, get, list, update, etc.) and no mixing of conventions is observed.
Tool Count2/5At 82 tools, the count is very high for a typical MCP server. While the domain is broad, this number may overwhelm agents and suggests insufficient scoping or consolidation.
Completeness2/5The tool set covers many operations but lacks deletion tools (e.g., delete_device, delete_customer, delete_note) and update tools for some entities (e.g., PSA tickets). These gaps create dead ends for common workflows.
Average 3.8/5 across 82 of 82 tools scored. Lowest: 2.6/5.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate the tool is not read-only and not destructive, but the description adds no behavioral context beyond a simple 'create'. It does not explain what happens on success, error handling, or side effects. The description also incorrectly lists required fields, omitting the schema-required orgUnitId, which is misleading.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise—a single sentence plus a list of required and optional fields. However, the inaccuracy regarding required parameters detracts from its effectiveness. It is front-loaded but flawed.
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 6 parameters and no output schema, the description should provide more context about the tool's behavior, such as what the access group is used for, how orgUnitId relates to orgUnitIds, or return value. It fails to do so, leaving gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds value by grouping parameters into 'Required' and 'Optional', but it inaccurately excludes orgUnitId from required fields. This error undermines the added value.
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 'Create a new organization-unit-type access group', which is a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_access_groups or create_device_access_group. However, it omits the required orgUnitId parameter, slightly reducing clarity.
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 exclusions, prerequisites, or scenarios where other tools (e.g., create_device_access_group) might be more appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and non-destructive nature (destructiveHint=false). The description merely states 'Update' which aligns, but adds no additional behavioral context such as required permissions or side effects.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, concise but too minimal. Lacks crucial details. Not front-loaded with additional context beyond the explicit description.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (update with nested body, no output schema), the description is incomplete. Does not explain what mappings are, response format, error handling, or link to related tools like 'list_psa_customer_mappings'.
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 descriptions for both parameters. However, the 'body' parameter description is vague ('PSA mappings payload') and the description does not clarify expected structure. Baseline 3 is appropriate as schema does the heavy lifting.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Update' and resource 'Standard PSA mappings for a customer'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'get_psa_customer_mapping' and 'list_psa_customer_mappings', though not explicitly. However, it is specific enough.
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 for usage. The description does not provide when-not-to-use or mention related tools.
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 convey it's a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) with potential side effects (openWorldHint=true). The description adds context about belonging to a service organization, but does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as return value or side effects 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences, but the list of required fields is incomplete (missing 'soId'), reducing accuracy slightly.
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 (18 parameters, no output schema), the description lacks important contextual details such as what the tool returns (if anything) or prerequisites like ensuring the service organization exists. This leaves the agent underinformed.
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 all 18 parameters described in the schema. The description adds little parameter-specific value beyond repeating a subset of required fields, so it meets the baseline.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Create' and the resource 'customer under a service organization', but it omits the required parameter 'soId' from the listed required fields, causing slight inaccuracy.
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. There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or related tools among the many sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate the tool is a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and not destructive. The description adds no further behavioral context beyond stating it creates an access group.
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 two sentences, efficiently stating purpose and listing parameters without waste.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description lacks details about return values or side effects, which is important for a creation tool with no output schema. The context of usage is not fully covered.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds minimal value by reiterating required vs. optional, but no deeper semantics.
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 ('Create') and the resource ('device-type access group'), distinguishing it from the sibling tool 'create_access_group' which is more general.
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 lists required and optional parameters but provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs. alternatives, such as 'create_access_group'.
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?
Description adds the preview endpoint warning, providing useful behavioral context beyond annotations. However, it does not disclose error states, success response, or side effects beyond creation.
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?
Description is one sentence with a parenthetical, front-loading the purpose. However, missing customerId in required list slightly reduces clarity.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With 18 parameters and no output schema, description does not explain return value, prerequisites, or what happens on success/failure. Incomplete for a creation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so description adds minimal value. It repeats some required fields but incorrectly omits customerId. Baseline is 3.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'create' and resource 'site under a customer'. It distinguishes from siblings like create_customer or create_device. However, it omits customerId from the listed required fields, which may cause minor confusion.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. Does not mention when not to use it or provide any context about prerequisites or edge cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond stating it creates a role. It does not disclose side effects, rate limits, or preview endpoint behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness3/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise but contains an inaccuracy in listing required parameters. It is front-loaded but not fully reliable due to the contradiction with the schema.
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?
The tool has 5 parameters and no output schema. The description covers basic creation but lacks details on return value, side effects, limitations of the preview endpoint, or how the optional userIds assignment works.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
While schema coverage is 100%, the description contradicts the schema by omitting orgUnitId from the listed required fields, stating only roleName, description, permissionIds as required. This misleads the agent about mandatory parameters.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'Create', the resource 'user role', and the scope 'for an organization unit'. It differentiates from sibling tools like get_user_role and list_user_roles by specifying creation.
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 lists required and optional parameters but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. Usage is implied for role creation but could be clearer.
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?
Discloses use of POST due to credentials in body, but annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false, contradicting the apparent read-only intent of 'retrieve'. No disclosure of side effects or response format.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence with a brief technical note, concise and front-loaded, but could include structured use cases.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Lacks description of output (what 'detailed information' includes), no mention of response format, and no guidance on handling credentials despite schema coverage.
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 covers all three parameters with descriptions, and the tool description adds no additional meaning beyond schema, yielding baseline 3.
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 specifies the action 'Retrieve detailed information' and the resource 'specific Custom PSA ticket', clearly distinguishing it from the sibling list_custom_psa_tickets which lists tickets.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, no prerequisites or when-not-to-use conditions mentioned. The note about POST method is technical, not usage guidance.
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, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=true, providing safety profile. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond the annotations, but the use of 'generate' may imply mutation, which is mitigated by the annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with no unnecessary words. However, it could be more structured by front-loading the return value or action.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The tool has low complexity but no output schema, so the description should explain what the tool returns. It does not mention the return value (e.g., an activation key string), leaving the agent uncertain about the outcome.
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% for the single parameter 'deviceId', and the description does not add any additional meaning (e.g., format, constraints) beyond the schema. Baseline of 3 is appropriate given high coverage.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'generate' and the resource 'activation key' with the input 'by device ID'. It distinguishes from sibling tools as none of them mention activation keys. However, the verb 'generate' could be interpreted as a write operation, which slightly conflicts with the readOnlyHint annotation.
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?
There is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. The context signals show many sibling tools, but the description does not clarify when this specific tool should be preferred.
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 and destructiveHint=false, so description adds no extra behavioral context. No mention of permissions, result structure, or open world implications. Adequate given 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, front-loaded, zero waste. Exactly as concise as needed for a simple retrieval operation.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema and description does not specify what the tool returns (e.g., property value or object). openWorldHint suggests extra fields but not mentioned. Incomplete for an agent to predict response format.
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 covers both parameters with descriptions. Description does not add additional meaning beyond schema, e.g., no explanation of how to find propertyId. Baseline 3 for 100% coverage.
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 action 'retrieve' and target 'specific custom property for an organization unit'. It distinguishes from list tools like 'list_org_custom_properties' and 'get_org_custom_property_default', but does not explicitly differentiate from siblings.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives such as 'get_org_custom_property_default' or 'list_org_custom_properties'. Missing prerequisites or context for when a specific property is needed.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior1/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description states 'retrieve', suggesting a read-only operation, but annotations declare readOnlyHint=false, indicating the tool may not be read-only. This is a direct contradiction. The description does not disclose any behavioral traits beyond what the annotation already provides, and the contradiction undermines transparency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no filler, but it lacks structure such as bullet points or separate sentences for different aspects. It is efficient for its length, but could be more informative without added verbosity.
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 provides basic context (auth requirement for third-party versions) but omits details about what the 'extra server version information' includes, especially since there is no output schema. Adequate for a simple tool but incomplete given the lack of return value documentation.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% as both parameters have descriptions. The tool description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, only mentioning 'using supplied credentials'. 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 the action 'Retrieve' and the resource 'extra server version information', with a specific qualifier 'using supplied credentials (for third-party system versions)'. This distinguishes it from the sibling tool get_server_info which likely does not require authentication.
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 authenticated credentials are needed for third-party system versions, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or contrast with get_server_info. The context is clear but lacks explicit exclusions or alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds no behavioral information beyond what annotations (readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false) already provide. It does not disclose any additional traits like data completeness 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?
A single succinct sentence that conveys the essential information without any extraneous content. It is front-loaded with the action and resource.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple retrieval tool with good annotations and a single parameter, the description is minimally adequate. However, it could be enhanced by mentioning the return format (e.g., 'returns a list') or other contextual 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% for the single parameter 'deviceId' with description 'The device ID'. The description merely restates this scope ('for a specific device') without adding new semantic 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 uses a specific verb ('Retrieve') and resource ('maintenance windows') with clear scope ('for a specific device'). It effectively distinguishes itself from sibling tools like create_maintenance_windows and update_maintenance_windows.
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. While it implies usage when needing maintenance windows for a specific device, it lacks any when-not or alternative suggestions.
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?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds no behavioral context beyond the basic intent, such as what happens if the property has no default (e.g., returns null) or any permission requirements.
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 sentence, no redundant information. Efficiently conveys the tool's purpose without any wasted words.
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?
Tool is simple, but with no output schema or return value description, the agent may not know what to expect (e.g., string, object). Otherwise adequate given the low complexity.
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 covers both parameters with basic descriptions (organization unit ID, custom property ID). The description adds no extra meaning. Baseline 3 is appropriate since schema coverage is 100%.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Retrieve' and the resource 'default value for an organization unit custom property,' distinguishing it from sibling tools like list_org_custom_properties (lists all) and get_org_unit_property (gets a property value).
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds no behavioral context beyond what annotations already provide. Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, but the description does not disclose any additional traits like pagination, sorting, or data currency.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence with no unnecessary words, making it concise and 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 tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, annotations present), the description is minimally adequate. However, it lacks details about return structure or any limitations, leaving room for improvement.
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 the parameter customerId already described as 'The customer ID'. The description does not add further meaning, 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.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('List'), the resource ('Standard PSA companies'), and the association ('associated with a customer'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like list_psa_company_contacts and list_psa_company_sites by specifying 'Standard PSA companies'.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence, front-loading the key action. However, it could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the absence of output schema, the description should clarify what is returned (e.g., list of contact objects) and the relationship between customerId and psaCompanyId. It lacks these details, making it incomplete for 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 descriptions cover both parameters (customerId and psaCompanyId) at 100% coverage, so the description does not need to add meaning. It adds no additional insight beyond what the schema provides.
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 (List), the resource (PSA company contacts), and the scope (for a customer). It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_psa_companies and list_psa_company_sites.
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, such as list_psa_company_sites or list_psa_companies. There are no when-to-use or when-not-to-use instructions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond annotations. It states it is an update operation and a constraint on propertyType, but does not disclose side effects, validation behavior, or any error conditions. With destructiveness false and openWorldHint true, more detail on permissible mutations would be helpful.
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?
Two sentences: first clearly states purpose, second adds critical constraint. No unnecessary words. Well-structured for quick comprehension.
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?
Adequate for a straightforward update operation. However, since there is no output schema, the description could mention what the response contains. Also lacks details on validation of propertyType or enumerated values. Sufficient but not rich.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% coverage, so each parameter is already described. The description adds the constraint that propertyType must match the property definition, which is useful but not critical. No additional explanation for relationship between parameters or handling of enumeratedValueList.
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 (update) and the resource (custom property on organization unit), and specifies the types of org units (SO, customer, site). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'get_org_unit_property' or 'list_org_custom_properties'.
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 'update_org_custom_property_default' or 'update_device_custom_property'. The only usage hint is the requirement that propertyType must match the property definition, but no context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate the tool is not read-only (readOnlyHint=false) and not destructive (destructiveHint=false). The description adds only that it 'adds' a note, which is consistent but does not disclose behavioral details beyond what annotations provide, such as whether notes are appended or overwritten.
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 plus a concise note on required parameters. Every word is necessary and front-loaded. No filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a bulk operation, the description lacks important context: potential limits on device array size, empty string behavior, return value, and idempotency. While annotations and schema cover basic safety, the description does not fully address the complexity of a bulk mutation tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so parameter descriptions are already present. The description repeats the required param names and types without adding semantic depth or usage examples. It meets the baseline but adds no extra value.
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 ('add the same note'), the target ('list of devices'), and the distinction from a single-device tool via 'in one call'. It explicitly lists required parameters, making the purpose unambiguous.
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 bulk note addition vs. single-device alternatives like add_device_note, but does not explicitly state when to choose this tool over others or provide exclusion criteria. It offers clear context but no when-not guidance.
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?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the description's mention of 'Create' adds no new behavioral insight. The description does not disclose side effects, permissions needed, or what the response contains (e.g., created object ID).
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

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?
All 16 parameters have descriptions in the input schema (100% coverage), so the schema already explains each field. The description only names the required ones, providing no additional semantic meaning or usage context beyond what the schema offers.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'Create a new service organization' which is a clear verb-resource pair that precisely identifies the tool's function. The tool name 'create_service_org' distinguishes it from other creation tools like 'create_customer' by specifying the entity type.
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 lists the three required parameters (soName, contactFirstName, contactLastName) which implies these are mandatory for use. However, it provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'create_customer' or how to decide based on context.
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 provide readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds no further behavioral details (e.g., what happens if the ID is invalid, response format). It is minimally adequate but does not enhance transparency 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.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently communicates the core purpose. It could be slightly more informative (e.g., mentioning the return object), but there is no wasted text.
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 parameter, no output schema, clear annotations), the description covers the basic function. However, it lacks usage guidance and behavioral context, making it only minimally complete for an AI agent to use confidently.
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?
With 100% schema description coverage, the schema already documents the single parameter orgUnitId. The description adds no additional meaning or usage hints for the parameter. Baseline 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?

Implies usage when you have a specific ID, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use vs alternatives like list_service_orgs.
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?
The description adds the PUT method and the requirement for all fields, but annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The 'replace' wording could imply data overwrite, but annotations say non-destructive. No additional behavior (e.g., auth, limits) disclosed.
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 the core operation and constraints. It is front-loaded with the verb 'Replace' and clearly states the method and requirement.
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?
While the description covers the operation type and field requirements, it lacks information about return values, error behavior, or prerequisites. Since there is no output schema, return details would be beneficial.
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 the schema sufficiently documents each parameter. The description adds no new parameter details beyond the existing schema descriptions, such as format or constraints.
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 replaces asset lifecycle/warranty information, specifying it's a PUT operation that requires all fields. This distinguishes it from sibling 'patch_device_lifecycle' which does partial updates, and from 'get_device_lifecycle' which retrieves data.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates it's a full replacement (PUT) and that all required fields must be provided, which implies it should be used when a complete update is needed. However, it does not explicitly contrast with the patch alternative or mention 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.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds behavioral context about propagation, but does not disclose side effects (e.g., whether existing child property values are overwritten), permission requirements, or the nature of the update (e.g., synchronous vs. async). Annotations only indicate it is not read-only and not destructive.
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 that first state the core purpose and optional propagation, then clarify the role of propagationType. No unnecessary words or repetition.
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 complexity (8 parameters, no output schema), the description covers the basic operation but lacks details on return value, error scenarios, or what happens to existing default values in child org units. The agent might need more context to handle responses.
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 100% with detailed parameter descriptions. The description adds value by explaining that propagationType controls which hierarchy levels receive the update, tying the parameter to the overall operation. This supplements the schema's enum descriptions.
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 (update) and the specific resource (default value of an org-unit custom property), and distinguishes from sibling tools like 'update_org_unit_custom_property' and 'get_org_custom_property_default' by mentioning propagation.
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 updating default values with optional propagation, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'update_org_unit_custom_property' or when not to use it (e.g., for read-only queries).
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 write (readOnlyHint=false) and non-destructive (destructiveHint=false) behavior. The description adds detail about the partial update (PATCH) and the resource type, which is useful behavioral context beyond the structured fields.
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 is front-loaded with the action and resource, and includes critical behavioral information (PATCH). No extraneous words.
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?
For a mutation tool with annotations and a clear purpose, the description is mostly complete. It could mention return value or side effects, but the lack is not critical given the tool's simplicity.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters2/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema covers both parameters but the body parameter's description is vague ('refer to N-central API docs for field shape'), offering minimal guidance. The tool description does not add further meaning to the parameters beyond the schema, leaving uncertainty about the payload structure.
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 (update) and the resource (licensing/usage limits for an organization unit). It also specifies the HTTP method (PATCH) and partial update behavior, distinguishing it from read-only siblings like get_org_unit_limits.
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 updating limits but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update_org_unit_custom_property). No exclusion criteria 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?
Beyond annotations (which only indicate readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=true), the description reveals that the note is attached to the authenticated user, adding valuable 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 with two sentences that convey the essential information without any unnecessary words.
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 the main purpose and a behavioral trait, though it could mention that both deviceId and text are required (the schema covers this). Given no output schema and simple parameters, it is fairly complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents both parameters. The description adds 'Required: text' but this is redundant with the required field in the schema; no extra semantic meaning is provided.
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 ('Add a note') and the resource ('a specific device'), distinguishing it from sibling 'add_notes_bulk' and 'update_device_note'.
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 notes that 'text' is required, providing minimal guidance, but does not specify when to use this tool over alternatives like 'add_notes_bulk' or 'update_device_note'.
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 indicate readOnlyHint=false (creation) and destructiveHint=false, which the description confirms as adding a device. However, it does not disclose potential side effects such as triggering provisioning or requiring admin permissions, offering only basic behavioral context beyond the 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: first stating the action, then listing fields. It is concise and front-loaded with no extraneous information.
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 no output schema, the description omits details on the response (e.g., created device ID). It also does not specify constraints on field values or preconditions. For a creation tool with nested parameters, this leaves gaps for the agent.
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?
The input schema only defines a generic 'body' object without internal properties, but the description adds significant meaning by enumerating required fields (customerId, networkAddress, longName, supportedOs, deviceClass) and optional ones, compensating for the schema's lack of detail.
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 'Add a new device to N-central,' using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like create_customer or add_device_note by focusing on device creation.
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 lists required and optional fields but does not provide guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor does it mention prerequisites like an existing customer or site. The context for selection among siblings is missing.
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?
The description explains pagination behavior (returns one page by default, auto-paginate with 'all: true'), which goes beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, openWorldHint). It does not cover error cases or permissions, but for a read-only list tool, the disclosed behavior is sufficient.
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: two sentences, with the first sentence stating the core purpose and the second adding a key behavioral note. No extraneous 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 schema richness (100% parameter coverage), annotations (read-only, safe), and lack of output schema, the description is nearly complete. It explains pagination, which is essential for understanding the tool's behavior. It could mention return format, but for a list tool the return is generally list of access groups, which is intuitive.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage, with detailed explanations for each parameter (e.g., 'select' describes FIQL syntax). The tool description adds no additional parameter context beyond the schema, so a 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 the action (Retrieve), the resource (access groups), and the scope (for a specific organization unit). It also highlights the critical pagination behavior, distinguishing it from sibling tools like 'get_access_group' which fetches a single group.
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 implicitly indicates use for listing access groups by org unit, but it does not explicitly compare to alternatives (e.g., 'get_access_group' for single items) or mention when not to use it (e.g., if the org unit is large and auto-pagination is costly). No '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 signal readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, and openWorldHint. The description adds important behavioral details: default single-page output, auto-pagination with 'all: true', and the fact that 'select' filters rows (not fields). This goes beyond annotations and clarifies key behaviors.
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: two sentences that front-load the purpose and immediately follow with the most critical behavioral distinction (pagination). Every word earns its place with no redundancy.
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?
For a list tool with no output schema, the description covers the essential aspects: what it retrieves and how pagination works. It could mention the return format or that results are arrays of filter objects, but the close alignment with the schema and annotations makes it adequately complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with detailed parameter descriptions. The tool description adds some context (pagination defaults, 'all' behavior) but largely repeats or summarizes what's already in the schema. It does not add significant new 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 the verb 'Retrieve' and the resource 'list of device filters', with no ambiguity. It also adds key pagination behavior. The name and description together distinguish this tool from sibling list tools like list_devices or list_device_notes.
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 provides helpful usage guidance on pagination (default single page vs. auto-paginate with 'all: true'), but does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternative siblings or when not to use it. The context is implied by the name and sibling list.
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 readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. The description adds valuable behavioral details: concurrent fetching from SO and customers, deduplication by userId, and return format (CSV/JSON). No contradiction with 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?

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 complexity (3 parameters, no output schema, annotations covering safety), the description covers purpose, behavior, and return format. It lacks details about the output structure (e.g., field names) which is acceptable without output schema. The description is sufficiently 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.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with all parameters described in the input schema. The description does not add additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so the 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?

Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies use when a comprehensive deduplicated report across an SO is needed, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or provide when-not-to-use guidance. Sibling tools like list_all_users might serve simpler needs, but this is not clarified.
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 indicate a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and non-destructive (destructiveHint=false). The description adds 'modify' but does not explain update behavior (e.g., overwrite vs. partial update) or side effects. With annotations present, the bar is lower, but additional behavioral context 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.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence that is concise, front-loaded with the action, and contains no superfluous words.
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?
For a simple tool with one required parameter and no output schema, the description covers the essential purpose and a key requirement. However, it does not detail the structure of MaintenanceWindowRequest, which may be needed for correct invocation.
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 schema describes the parameter as 'Array of MaintenanceWindowRequest objects (must include scheduleId)'. The description reinforces this requirement, adding meaning beyond the basic schema structure.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'modify' and the resource 'existing device patch maintenance windows', specifying the identifier 'ScheduleId'. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like 'create_maintenance_windows' and 'get_maintenance_windows'.
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 does not explicitly state when to use this tool over alternatives. It implies that one must first obtain existing window ScheduleIds (e.g., via get_maintenance_windows), but provides no direct guidance or when-not-to-use conditions.
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?
The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations, highlighting that credentials are sent in the request body and that the endpoint works only with TigerPaw 3.0. Annotations indicate readOnlyHint: false and destructiveHint: false, and the description's warnings align with this. No contradiction.
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?
Three sentences with no waste: first states purpose, second warns about security, third gives critical limitation. Information 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?
Given the tool's simplicity (3 params, no output schema), the description covers purpose, security, and a known limitation. Missing details about the response format, but for credential validation, a binary success/failure is implied. Overall adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented structurally. The description adds minor context about credentials being transmitted but does not elaborate on meaning or usage beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action 'validate' and the resource 'Standard PSA credentials', and specifies the scope 'for a given PSA type'. It distinguishes the tool from siblings as there are no other validation tools in the list. However, it could be more precise about what validation entails (e.g., returns success/failure).

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?
Two sentences: the first states purpose, the second gives two actionable tips. No redundant information.
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?
No output schema exists, but description covers pagination and format. Lacks details on returned fields, but tool is straightforward and annotations are sufficient.
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 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds extra meaning: explains behavior of 'all' parameter, format defaults, and provides example for 'select'. This enhances 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?
Description clearly states 'Retrieve the list of devices belonging to a specific organization unit'. It distinguishes from siblings like list_devices (all devices) and list_org_unit_children (org units).
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?
Provides guidance on pagination (one page vs all:true) and format (csv for spreadsheet-ready). Does not explicitly mention alternatives but implies usage context.
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?
Discloses key behaviors beyond annotations: pagination defaults, auto-pagination behavior, that select filters rows despite its name, and format defaults. Annotations already indicate read-only, no destruction, and open-world, making the description additive and consistent.
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?
Three sentences, each providing essential information without redundancy. Front-loaded with main purpose, then details. 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?
Despite no output schema, the description covers all necessary context: pagination, filtering, format options, and customer scope. For a straightforward list tool, this is complete.
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 descriptions cover 100% of parameters; the description adds extra context by clarifying that select filters rows (not picks fields) and explaining auto-pagination behavior. This adds value beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves a list of sites with optional customer filtering. While it is specific to sites, it does not explicitly distinguish from sibling list tools (e.g., list_customers, list_devices), which slightly reduces clarity.
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?
