search_proxmox_scripts

Read-onlyIdempotent

Search Proxmox community scripts to find installation scripts for services like Home Assistant, Docker, or Pi-hole. Filter by container, VM, utility, or misc categories.

Instructions

Search Proxmox community installation scripts from the community-scripts/ProxmoxVE repository

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryYesSearch query (matches script name, e.g. 'home assistant', 'docker', 'pihole')
categoryNoOptional category filter: 'ct' (containers), 'vm' (virtual machines), 'install' (utilities), 'misc'
include_metadataNoIf true, fetch and parse script metadata (CPU, RAM, disk requirements, tags). Slower but more detailed.
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true. The description adds no behavioral details beyond 'search', which is adequate but does not provide extra context like rate limits 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.

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that conveys the tool's purpose without superfluous words.

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?

No output schema exists, yet the description does not specify what the tool returns (e.g., list of script names with or without metadata). This leaves the agent guessing about the return format, which is incomplete.

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% (three parameters all have descriptions). The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline score of 3 applies.

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 'Search Proxmox community installation scripts' and specifies the repository source. It uses a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_proxmox_script_info and control_vm.

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?

While no explicit when-not or alternatives are mentioned, the description implies usage for finding scripts, and no sibling tool performs a similar search, making the context clear enough.

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