Server Quality Checklist

67%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v1.0.4

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct operation (CRUD on glossaries, memories, translations; language detection; translation). No two tools have overlapping purposes; even import and add tools are differentiated by scale (single vs bulk).

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using lowercase snake_case. Verbs like create, delete, list, get, update, import, export, add, check, detect, translate are used uniformly.

    Tool Count5/5

    22 tools cover the full spectrum of glossary and translation memory management, plus language detection and translation. The count is appropriate for a comprehensive translation management server without being excessive.

    Completeness4/5

    Nearly all lifecycle operations for glossaries and memories exist. Minor gaps: no way to retrieve or list individual translations in a memory, and no memory export. These are non-critical but notable.

  • Average 3.8/5 across 22 of 22 tools scored. Lowest: 3/5.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    The description adds context that memories store translation units for reuse, implying future use. Annotations already indicate it is not read-only and not destructive. The param external_id's description in schema adds initialization behavior, but main description lacks side-effect details.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is concise with two front-loaded sentences: first for core action, second for context. No wasted words.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    The tool is simple and has an output schema for return values. However, the description misses contextual details like prerequisites (e.g., account setup) or usage notes for external_id. Adequate but not enriched.

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

    Parameters2/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 50% (only external_id has description). The main description does not elaborate on the name parameter, which is required. It only mentions 'custom name' in passing, failing to compensate for the gap.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool creates a translation memory with a custom name in Lara Translate account, using specific verb and resource. It explains what translation memories are, but does not explicitly distinguish from sibling tools like create_glossary.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., create_glossary) or under what conditions (e.g., need for a memory vs glossary). The description is purely functional.

    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 annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true, so the description adds no further behavioral context. The parameter description incorrectly says 'update', which conflicts with the delete operation and reduces transparency.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no unnecessary words. It is appropriately sized for a simple tool.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    Given the tool's simplicity (one param, destructive, with output schema), the description is minimally adequate. It does not explain return values or success/failure behavior, but the output schema may cover that.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% for the single required parameter, and its description includes format information. The main description adds no extra semantics beyond the schema.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool deletes a translation memory, distinguishing it from siblings like delete_glossary or delete_translation. However, the parameter description in the schema says 'to update' instead of 'to delete', 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 Guidelines2/5

    Does 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 (e.g., delete_glossary, update_memory). There is no mention of prerequisites or 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 convey that the tool is mutable (readOnlyHint=false) and non-destructive (destructiveHint=false). The description adds 'Updates' which is consistent but does not elaborate on side effects, authorization needs, or idempotency. Given the annotations cover the safety profile, the description's minimal addition is acceptable but not exemplary.

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

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is a single sentence, which is efficient but could be more informative. It avoids unnecessary words but sacrifices specificity (e.g., naming 'rename' instead of 'update'). This is concise but at the cost of clarity, earning a 4 rather than a 5.

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

    Completeness2/5

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

    Given the tool has two parameters and an output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not explain that only the 'name' can be changed, what the output contains, or how the update affects existing data. The presence of an output schema reduces the burden, but the description still leaves ambiguity about the tool's exact behavior.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 50% (id has a format hint, name has no description). The description does not add any parameter-level information. With medium coverage, the description should compensate but fails to do so. A score of 3 reflects the baseline for adequate but unhelpful schema support.

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

    Purpose4/5

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

    The description clearly states it updates a translation memory, distinguishing it from sibling tools like update_glossary. However, it lacks specificity: the title annotation indicates it's a rename operation, which the description does not mention. This slightly reduces clarity for an agent deciding between update_memory and other mutation tools.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_memory or delete_memory. It does not specify that this tool is for renaming only, nor does it mention any prerequisites or typical use cases. This lack of context forces the agent to infer usage solely from the schema.

    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 details beyond the annotations. Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=false (mutation) and destructiveHint=false (non-destructive). No side effects, authorization needs, or reversibility are mentioned.

    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 a single sentence with no unnecessary words, making it highly concise and well-structured for quick understanding.

    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?

    For a simple two-parameter tool with an output schema, the description covers the core action but lacks details on error states (e.g., glossary not found) or prerequisites. It is minimally adequate but not comprehensive.

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

    Parameters2/5

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

    The input schema describes the 'id' parameter with a pattern and format, but 'name' lacks description. The description only hints that 'name' is the new name, providing marginal additional meaning beyond the schema. With 50% schema description coverage, the description should compensate but does not.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the verb 'Updates' and the resource 'name of a glossary', and the title 'Rename glossary' reinforces this. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_glossary, delete_glossary, and get_glossary by focusing solely on renaming.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor are there any prerequisites or conditions mentioned. The description simply states what it does without 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 readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false. The description merely restates that it adds a translation, adding no additional behavioral context such as side effects, limits, or duplicate handling.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is a single concise sentence with no superfluous words, efficiently conveying the tool's purpose.

    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?

    While the schema covers parameters and an output schema exists, the description lacks context about translation memories, the role of optional parameters (tuid, sentence_before, sentence_after), and prerequisites. It is adequate but not comprehensive.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, with all 8 parameters well-documented in the schema. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, so baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the action (adds), resource (translation to translation memory), and context (Lara Translate account), effectively distinguishing it from sibling tools like add_glossary_entry or delete_translation.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as translate or add_glossary_entry. There are no prerequisites, exclusions, or usage scenarios mentioned.

    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 only adds that it 'creates', which is implicit. No additional behavioral traits (e.g., name uniqueness, rate limits, side effects) are disclosed 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.

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two short, direct sentences. The first states the action, the second explains the purpose. No redundant information, front-loaded with essential details.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    The tool is simple (one parameter, output schema exists). The description covers the creation action and the purpose of glossaries. While it could mention behavior on duplicate names, it is largely sufficient for an agent to understand the tool's function.

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

    Parameters2/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. It mentions 'custom name' but provides no constraints, format, or uniqueness requirements for the name parameter. For a single required parameter, this is insufficient.

    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 action ('Create a glossary') and the resource ('with a custom name in your Lara Translate account'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like add_glossary_entry and delete_glossary by mentioning the purpose ('enforce specific terminology during translation').

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It implies use for creating glossaries before adding entries, but lacks criteria for when not to use it or comparisons with similar tools like create_memory.

    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 indicate destructiveHint=true, so the description's mention of deletion is consistent but adds no extra behavioral context (e.g., cascading effects on entries, irreversibility). With annotations covering destructiveness, the description provides adequate but minimal added value.

    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?

    A single concise sentence that is front-loaded with the verb and resource, containing no unnecessary words.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    For a simple deletion tool with one parameter and full schema coverage, the description is minimally complete. It could mention the operation's permanence or return value, but with an output schema present, the lack of return value explanation is acceptable.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, and the schema already describes the 'id' parameter with format and pattern. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the action (deletes), resource (glossary), and context (Lara Translate account), distinguishing it from similar tools like delete_glossary_entry.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites or conditions mentioned. The description is silent on scenarios like whether the glossary must exist or if deletion is permanent.

    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 minimal behavioral context beyond the annotations. The annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the description's mention of deletion adds little. It doesn't clarify irreversibility, permission requirements, or side effects, but the annotations carry the main burden.

    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 a single concise sentence that conveys the core purpose without extraneous detail. It is front-loaded and efficient, with no wasted words.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given the tool has 8 parameters (5 required) and an output schema, the description is adequately complete. The schema covers parameter details, and annotations provide safety context. However, it could mention that deletion is permanent or affected data scope.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema already describes all parameters thoroughly. The description adds no extra meaning to parameters beyond what the schema provides, meeting the baseline expectation.

    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 action ('deletes a translation') and the resource ('translation memory in your Lara Translate account'), providing a specific verb and resource that distinguishes it from sibling tools like add_translation or list_memories.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description offers no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives, such as delete_memory or update_memory. It does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or context for appropriate use, leaving the agent to infer usage from the name alone.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

    Annotations already indicate mutation (readOnlyHint false) and non-destructiveness. The description adds that it handles both glossary directions, but lacks details on conflict resolution or idempotency, offering minimal extra behavioral context.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences, no redundant information, front-loaded with key action. Every word earns its place.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    With an output schema present, return details are omitted appropriately. The description covers core behavior and parameter nuances, but misses usage guidelines. Overall sufficiently complete for a moderate-complexity tool.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds meaning by explaining term ordering for monodirectional vs multidirectional glossaries and referencing list_languages, which goes beyond the schema's field descriptions.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the tool adds or replaces a glossary entry, and distinguishes from siblings by mentioning support for both monodirectional and multidirectional glossaries, which sets it apart from delete_glossary_entry or create_glossary.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like add_translation or create_glossary. It only notes glossary type support, leaving usage context ambiguous.

    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 description's statement about exporting aligns with read-only behavior. However, beyond confirming the export action, it adds minimal behavioral context (e.g., permissions, side effects). 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.

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is two concise sentences with no waste. The purpose is front-loaded: 'Exports a glossary as CSV'. Every word contributes to understanding the tool's action.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given the tool's simplicity (3 parameters, output schema exists), the description covers the core action and format options. It omits prerequisites like needing a valid glossary ID, but the schema's required fields imply this. Overall adequate for the context.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% (all parameters have descriptions). The description mentions 'unidirectional and multidirectional formats', which maps to content_type enum, but adds little beyond schema descriptions. Baseline 3 is appropriate since schema carries the bulk of parameter meaning.

    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 it exports a glossary as CSV, with specific verb 'exports' and resource 'glossary as CSV'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like import_glossary_csv by focusing on export, 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 Guidelines3/5

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

    The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., import, create, delete). Usage is implied by the name and description, but no when-not-to-use or alternative comparisons are given.

    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, indicating a safe read. The description adds that it returns null if not found, which is useful. However, it lacks details on rate limits, permissions, or the structure of the returned object, which could be inferred from the output schema.

    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 a single sentence front-loaded with the essential action, followed by a brief note on null return. No wasted words, and every sentence adds value.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, output schema exists), the description covers the key behavior (retrieve by ID, null if missing). It is adequate but could mention that it returns the full glossary object, though the output schema handles that. Sibling tools are diverse, but the description is sufficient for selection.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The input schema has 100% description coverage for the 'id' parameter, including format example and pattern. The description does not add any additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states 'Retrieves a specific glossary by ID', specifying the verb, resource, and scope. It also notes the null return for non-existence. This distinguishes it from siblings like list_glossaries (which lists all) and other CRUD tools.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description does not provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_glossaries or get_glossary_counts. It implies usage when you have a specific glossary ID, but no exclusion or context for decision-making.

    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, covering safety. The description adds that it lists all glossaries and explains their purpose, but does not disclose potential behavioral traits such as pagination, limits, or ordering. With annotations present, the description provides minor additional context.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is a single sentence that is perfectly concise with no unnecessary words. It efficiently communicates the purpose and the nature of glossaries.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    For a simple listing tool with no parameters and an existing output schema, the description is largely complete. It could be improved by mentioning whether pagination or limits apply, but overall it provides sufficient context for an agent to understand what the tool does.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    The tool has zero parameters, and the schema coverage is 100%. The description adds value by explaining what a glossary is, which is relevant context for the returned data. Given no parameters, a baseline of 4 is appropriate.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states that the tool lists all glossaries in the user's account, with a brief explanation of what glossaries are. It distinctively separates from sibling tools like get_glossary (single item) and create_glossary (creation).

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives like get_glossary or the many other sibling tools. The usage context is implied but not stated, e.g., for obtaining an overview before selecting a specific glossary.

    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, so the tool is understood as non-modifying. The description adds valuable behavioral context by listing supported features (language detection, context-aware, memories, glossaries), which goes beyond the bare annotations. 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.

    Conciseness4/5

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

    The description is concise at two sentences. The first sentence front-loads the main purpose. The second sentence provides focused guidance on a key parameter. It is efficient but could potentially be more structured to differentiate from siblings.

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

    Completeness3/5

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

    Given the complexity (14 parameters, output schema exists), the description covers core functionality but lacks guidance on when to use this tool versus highly related siblings like detect_language or add_translation. The output schema is not explained, but that is acceptable since it exists separately.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The input schema provides detailed descriptions for all 14 parameters (100% coverage). The description adds minimal new semantic value beyond highlighting the 'instructions' parameter behavior. The baseline of 3 is appropriate as the schema already carries the burden.

    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's primary function: 'Translate text between languages using Lara Translate.' It enumerates specific capabilities (language detection, context-aware translations, memories, glossaries) and implicitly distinguishes it from sibling tools like detect_language, add_translation, and glossary management tools.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    The description provides guidance on when to use the 'instructions' parameter ('only provide them when the content specifically requires tone, formality, or terminology adjustments') and advises omitting it for general content. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to choose this tool over alternatives like detect_language or add_translation for different translation scenarios.

    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 and destructiveHint=false, so the description need not repeat safety. It adds that the tool returns term and language counts, providing useful context 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.

    Conciseness5/5

    Is 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.

    Completeness5/5

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

    Given the simple input (one parameter), a rich schema with 100% description coverage, an existing output schema, and annotations providing safety context, the description completely covers the needed context. It is sufficient for an agent to understand when to use this tool.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    The input schema already provides a detailed description for the 'id' parameter (format, example), achieving 100% coverage. The description only restates that the tool retrieves counts for a glossary, adding no new meaning beyond the schema.

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states it retrieves term and language counts for a glossary, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like get_glossary (general metadata) and list_glossaries (list all glossaries).

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as get_glossary or list_glossaries. The description does not mention context, prerequisites, or exclusions.

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

  • Behavior3/5

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

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    For a zero-parameter read-only list tool with output schema, the description is complete. No additional context needed.

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

    Parameters4/5

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

    Zero parameters with 100% schema coverage, baseline 4. Description doesn't need to add parameter details and doesn't.

    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 identifies the action (lists) and the resource (translation memories), and distinguishes from sibling tools like list_glossaries and list_languages.

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

    Usage Guidelines3/5

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

    No explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives. The usage is implied by the self-explanatory nature, but lacks explicit 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.

  • Behavior4/5

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

    Annotations indicate it's a write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and not destructive (destructiveHint=false). The description adds valuable transparency about the async nature and the need to poll with a specific tool, which is critical for correct usage.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two sentences: first states core action, second adds async details and polling instruction. Every word earns its place, with no redundancy or fluff.

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

    Completeness4/5

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

    The description covers the essential workflow (async, polling) and mentions format options. It could mention error handling or the gzip parameter, but the schema already describes gzip. Given the output schema exists and the sibling polling tool is named, it is sufficiently complete for an agent.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no new information about parameters beyond what the schema provides, but it does contextualize the content_type format options (uni/multi).

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

    Purpose5/5

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

    The description clearly states the verb 'Imports' and resource 'CSV file into a glossary', and distinguishes from siblings by specifying CSV format and async behavior, which is unique among sibling tools.

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

    Usage Guidelines4/5

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

    Description provides clear context for use: import CSV into glossary and poll with check_glossary_import_status. It does not explicitly exclude alternatives like import_tmx, but the context is sufficient for an agent to infer when to use this tool.

    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, indicating a safe read operation. The description adds the polling pattern and job completion context, but no extra behavioral traits beyond what annotations imply. No contradictions.

    Conciseness5/5

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

    Two concise sentences, front-loaded with the purpose and immediately followed by usage guidance. No wasted words.

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

    Completeness5/5

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

    Given the simple nature (one parameter, polling pattern), the description fully explains what the tool does, how to use it, and where to get the input. The presence of an output schema is implied but not needed for completeness.

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

    Parameters3/5

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

    Schema coverage is 100% and the parameter 'id' is described in schema as 'The ID of the glossary import job'. The description does not add additional parameter semantics beyond mentioning it comes from import_glossary_csv. Baseline 3.

    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 'Checks the status of a glossary CSV import job started by import_glossary_csv', providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like check_import_status (generic) and import_glossary_csv (starter).

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

    Usage Guidelines5/5

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

    Explicit guidance: 'Poll this tool with the import_id returned from import_glossary_csv until the import is complete.' This tells when to use it (after starting an import) and how (polling), and where to get the parameter.

    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?
