Server Quality Checklist

67%
Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.
  • Latest release: v0.1.0

  • Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a well-defined and unique purpose. For example, read_memory, read_registers, and read_variable target different data sources. Breakpoint operations are clearly separated into set, clear, list, and clear_all. There is no ambiguity between tools.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case (e.g., read_memory, set_breakpoint, flash_firmware). No mixing of camelCase or other conventions. The naming is predictable and intuitive.

    Tool Count4/5

    With 25 tools, the server covers a comprehensive debug workflow. While slightly above the ideal 3-15 range, each tool is justified and necessary for a full-featured debug adapter. The count is reasonable given the domain.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool set covers all essential debugger operations: connection management, firmware flashing, ELF symbol loading, memory/register read/write, breakpoints, stepping, run/halt, RTT communication, and symbol queries. No obvious gaps exist for a JLink debug interface.

  • Average 4/5 across 25 of 25 tools scored. Lowest: 2.9/5.

To manually sync the server, click the "Sync Server" button in the MCP server admin interface.

How is the quality score calculated?

The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).

Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.

Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).

Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.

Tool Scores

  • Behavior2/5

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

    No annotations provided, so description must disclose behavior. It only states the action and parameter meanings, omitting side effects, error handling, or whether it requires a halted target. Lack of behavioral context is a significant gap.

    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 short and front-loaded with the main purpose. The Args section is structured for clarity. However, it could include more useful information without becoming verbose.

    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's simplicity, the description is incomplete. It does not explain the return value (though output schema exists), error conditions, or behavior when multiple parameters provided. An agent would lack key details for reliable invocation.

    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 0%, so the description adds meaning by explaining each parameter's format (e.g., hex string for address, integer for handle). However, details are minimal and do not cover edge cases or constraints (e.g., symbol requires ELF loaded).

    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 'clear breakpoint' as the action and specifies the resource type. It distinguishes from clear_all_breakpoints by indicating clearing a single breakpoint via address, symbol, or handle, but does not explicitly contrast with siblings.

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

    Usage Guidelines2/5

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

    The description lists three ways to specify the breakpoint but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus clear_all_breakpoints, no prerequisites (e.g., breakpoint must exist), and no context on exclusive parameter usage.

    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?

    No annotations provided. The description does not disclose behavioral traits such as required state (e.g., target halted), blocking behavior, side effects, or error handling for invalid channels.

    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 with a clear Chinese sentence followed by a well-structured English docstring (Args/Returns). Some redundancy exists but overall efficient.

    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 purpose and return value, but lacks context about when to use the tool (e.g., after connection), interaction with sibling tools, or prerequisites for success.

    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?

    With 0% schema description coverage, the description partially compensates by explaining text and channel. However, the explanations are minimal and mostly restate parameter names and defaults.

    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 sends data to the RTT input channel (target microcontroller). It distinguishes from sibling tools like read_rtt by specifying 'write' direction.

    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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., write_memory, write_variable). It does not state prerequisites or context such as requiring a connection or target state.

    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?

    With no annotations, the description bears full responsibility for behavioral disclosure. It mentions the dependency on 'load_elf()' but does not address error cases (e.g., symbol not found, ELF not loaded) or side effects. The return is described but without error handling or success/failure conditions.

    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 and well-structured with clear sections (Args, Returns). It efficiently communicates the tool's purpose and usage without extraneous information. The front-loading of the main sentence is good.

    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 (single parameter) and the presence of an output schema (though not shown), the description is adequate. It covers prerequisite, parameter, and return value. However, it lacks information on error handling or behavior when the symbol doesn't exist, which would be expected for a query 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?

    The input schema provides only a 'symbol' string parameter with no description (0% coverage). The description compensates by explaining that the symbol can be a function or global variable name, and provides examples like 'main' and 'SystemCoreClock', adding meaningful context 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 that the tool queries the memory address of a symbol (function or global variable). This distinguishes it from siblings like 'list_functions' (which only returns names) and 'read_variable' (which reads the value). The prerequisite mention of 'load_elf()' adds context, though it does not explicitly differentiate from all siblings.

    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 an explicit prerequisite ('need to call load_elf() first'), which serves as a usage guideline. However, it lacks details on when not to use this tool or how it compares to alternatives like 'read_variable' or 'list_functions' for address retrieval.

    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?

    No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It states the write action but provides no details on behavioral traits such as potential side effects (e.g., memory corruption), required target state (e.g., halted), or permission needs. Minimal disclosure beyond the basic operation.

    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 clear sections (Args, Returns) and no extraneous content. Every sentence adds value, making it efficient for an AI agent to parse.

    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 presence of an output schema, the vague return description ('写入结果') is acceptable, but the description lacks important context such as prerequisites (e.g., target must be halted) or error conditions. It is adequate but not comprehensive for a write operation.

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

    Parameters5/5

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

    With schema description coverage at 0%, the description fully compensates by detailing parameter formats: address as hex string, data lists varying by width, and width enumeration (8/16/32). This adds significant meaning beyond the raw schema types.

    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 ('向目标内存写入数据', write data to target memory) and resource (memory). It distinguishes from siblings like read_memory, write_register, and write_variable, making the tool's specific 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 implies usage for writing to raw memory but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like write_register or write_variable. No exclusion criteria or prerequisites (e.g., need to halt target) are mentioned.

    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?

    With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It states the tool is non-intrusive and does not need to halt the target, which is good. However, it does not disclose potential side effects (e.g., does reading clear the buffer?), error conditions, or authentication requirements.

    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 well-structured with a concise overview and structured Args/Returns sections. Some redundancy exists (e.g., first sentence and last sentence both mention reading RTT content), but overall it is efficient.

    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 no annotations and 0% schema coverage, the description fairly covers prerequisites, parameters, and output. It lacks details on error handling or blocking behavior, but for a simple read tool, it is adequately complete.

    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 schema has 0% coverage, so the description must explain parameters. It provides default values and context: channel 0 is typical for log output, max_bytes limits read size. This adds significant meaning beyond the schema's bare titles.

    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 reads SEGGER RTT buffer content, explains what RTT is, and distinguishes it from the sibling write_rtt tool. The verb '读取' (read) and resource 'RTT 缓冲区内容' are specific.

    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?

    Describes a prerequisite (target firmware must include SEGGER RTT library), but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like read_memory or when not to use it. No exclusions or sibling comparisons are given.

    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?

    No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It mentions the prerequisite of load_elf for symbols, but does not cover other important aspects such as whether a connection is required, whether the target must be halted, or what happens if an invalid address is provided. The description is insufficient for complete 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 concise, with two sentences for the main purpose and a clear list of arguments and returns. Every sentence adds value, and the structure is front-loaded with the core action.

    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 essential steps for setting a breakpoint but lacks details about the broader context, such as the need for a prior connection (connect) or target halted state (halt). Given the complexity of a debugger toolset, it is adequate but not fully comprehensive.

    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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must add meaning. It provides format examples for address (hex string) and symbol (function name), and explains the dependency on load_elf for symbols. This goes beyond the schema's minimal structure.

    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 purpose: setting a breakpoint at a specified address or function name. It specifies that one of address or symbol must be provided, and distinguishes from sibling tools like list_breakpoints and clear_breakpoint.

    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 provides clear usage guidance: it states that either address or symbol must be provided, and notes that using a symbol requires prior loading of an ELF file via load_elf(). This helps the agent understand prerequisites, though it could explicitly state when not to use this tool relative to others.

    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?

    With no annotations, the description correctly implies a read-only status fetch but does not state requirements (e.g., must be connected) or potential failure modes. Adequate but not rich.

    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 sentences with front-loaded purpose and a bullet list of return fields. 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 zero parameters and an output schema present, the description covers essential status fields. Could mention prerequisites (e.g., connection state) but not necessary for simple retrieval.

    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?

    No parameters exist; schema coverage is 100%. Per rules, 0 parameters yields baseline 4. Description appropriately has no parameter details.

    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 '获取当前调试状态' (Get current debug status) and enumerates return fields including connection status, target chip model, etc., making the purpose unmistakable.

    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 versus siblings like 'read_registers' or 'list_breakpoints', though the context of a status getter is self-explanatory. Lacks when-not-to-use or alternatives.

    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?

    No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose all behavioral traits. It states execution is suspended and lists post-halt capabilities, but omits potential side effects (e.g., impact on timers, interrupts) or requirements (e.g., target state). The return value is mentioned, which helps.

    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 sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, and includes necessary details about post-halt operations and return value. 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?

    For a parameterless tool with an output schema, the description covers the main behavior and return value. However, it lacks contextual prerequisites (e.g., must be connected, target status) and does not mention if it can be called repeatedly or safety concerns.

    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 input schema has no parameters (coverage 100%), so the description does not need to explain any. The baseline is 4, and the description adds no redundancy, staying clear and concise.

    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 explicitly states the tool suspends CPU execution, and lists what actions are possible afterward (read/write memory, registers, single step). This clearly identifies the action and resource, distinguishing it from siblings like 'run' or 'reset'.

    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 implies usage when you need to pause the CPU, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives, nor does it provide exclusions or prerequisites (e.g., must be connected).

    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?

    No annotations provided. The description indicates a read-only listing operation with no side effects. It does not specify if the list is static or dynamic, but the straightforward nature is acceptable.

    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?

    Extremely concise: two sentences that efficiently convey purpose and return value. 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?

    For a no-parameter listing tool with an output schema, the description provides sufficient context. It could mention if the list is exhaustive or if there are special cases, but it is complete enough.

    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?

    No parameters exist, so the description need not add parameter details. The schema coverage is trivially 100%.

    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 lists common microcontroller models for reference, and specifies that keys are chip model strings usable for connect() and values are descriptions. This is precise and distinct from siblings like connect.

    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?

    Usage context is implied ('for reference', keys usable for connect()), but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool instead of alternatives or conditions for use.

    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?

    With no annotations, the description should disclose whether the tool is read-only or has side effects. It only states it lists variables, but does not explicitly confirm non-destructiveness or other behaviors.

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

    Conciseness5/5

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

    The description is extremely concise with two sentences, front-loaded with the main action, and 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?

    For a parameterless tool with an output schema, the description mentions the return fields (name, address, type, size). It could clarify edge cases like empty results, but overall it is complete.

    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?

    There are no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no parameter info, but none is needed, earning a baseline of 4.

    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 lists all global variables from an ELF file, using specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like list_functions and read_variable.

    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 explicitly requires calling load_elf() first, providing clear context. However, it does not mention when not to use or alternatives, but given the simplicity, this is sufficient.

    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?

    No annotations provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses prerequisites and a recommendation for consistency, but does not discuss side effects, error handling, or reversibility. Adequate but could be more detailed.

    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 with three clear sentences plus Args/Returns sections. No unnecessary words, though the Returns is vague ('写入结果'). Structure is good overall.

    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 no annotations and the tool's write nature, the description covers prerequisites and a safety recommendation. It does not detail error handling or return structure, but an output schema exists. Reasonably complete but with gaps.

    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 description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain parameters. It provides examples for 'name' and explains auto-conversion for 'value', adding significant meaning beyond the schema's type definitions.

    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: '按变量名修改全局变量的值' (modify global variable value by name). It distinguishes from siblings like read_variable, write_memory, and write_register by focusing on global variables.

    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 provides explicit prerequisites (call load_elf() and connect() first) and a recommendation to pause the target for consistency. It does not list alternatives or exclusions, but the guidance is clear.

    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?

    With no annotations, the description partially covers behavior: it mentions enabling symbol resolution and return data (symbol count, variable count, DWARF info). However, it does not disclose failure scenarios, whether it clears previous symbols, or any side effects like memory usage.

    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 disconnects the JLink from the target microcontroller, using specific verbs and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like 'connect' and 'halt' by its unique action.

    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 usage context by mentioning that it automatically resumes execution before disconnecting, but it does not explicitly state when to use vs alternatives.

    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?

    With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It discloses a key behavioral trait: automatic halting if the target is not paused. This goes beyond what annotations might provide. However, it does not detail whether the target remains halted after the read or other potential 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 extremely concise, consisting of two sentences that cover purpose, precondition, and return value. Every word earns its place; no unnecessary information.

    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 tool has no parameters and an output schema exists, the description is remarkably complete. It explains the precondition, the auto-halt behavior, and the return format (mapping of register names to values, listing key registers). This fully equips an AI agent to correctly select and invoke the 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?

    There are no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds no additional parameter information, which is acceptable as there are none. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4.

    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 reads all core registers of an ARM Cortex-M CPU, using a specific verb ('读取') and resource ('核心寄存器'). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'read_memory' or 'read_variable' by specifying it reads all core registers at once.

    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 provides a precondition (target must be halted) and notes that if not halted, it will auto-halt, giving clear context for when to use. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives among siblings.

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