init

Initialize a local knowledge base to manage and interact with your AI models, documents, and web sources. Switches the session to the created knowledge base.

Instructions

Initialize a local .lilbee/ knowledge base; empty path = cwd.

Switches the MCP session to use it for subsequent calls.

Behavior3/5

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

The description discloses the initialization and session switching behavior, but does not address idempotency, error cases, or effects if the knowledge base already exists. No annotations are provided to supplement.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is extremely concise with two clear sentences, no redundancy, and the key behavior is front-loaded.

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

Completeness3/5

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

The description covers the basic purpose but lacks details on prerequisites, error cases, and integration with other tools. The presence of an output schema may compensate for return values, but overall completeness is limited.

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

Parameters3/5

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

The description adds the default behavior for an empty path beyond the schema's simple string type, but does not detail valid paths, error conditions, or other constraints. Given 0% schema coverage, more parameter detail would improve.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool initializes a local .lilbee/ knowledge base and switches the session, with default to cwd. This specific verb+resource distinguishes it from sibling tools like search or sync.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description implies the tool should be used before other calls to set the session knowledge base, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use guidance or comparisons with alternatives.

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