search_flowsSearch FlowsA
Read-only
Inspect

Search Mobbin for multi-step user flows (e.g. onboarding, checkout) using natural language. Returns evenly-spaced preview images inline along with metadata for each flow, including per-screen previews. Examine the returned images to understand each flow's actual content — do not describe screens based solely on metadata. On hosts that support MCP Apps, also renders an interactive gallery of the results.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pageNoPage number for paginating through results. Maximum 20.
limitNoMaximum number of flows to return. Lower limits are recommended to manage context size.
queryYesDescribe one user journey in plain language — the steps and what you'd see along the way. Be specific; detail helps. Good: "onboarding with personalization steps", "checkout with payment method selection". Avoid: combining multiple flows (search separately), negations, vague style words, disconnected keyword lists. Name a specific app to filter results to it (e.g. "Duolingo onboarding"). Do not include platform (ios/web) — use the dedicated parameter.
platformYesPlatform to search.
task_intentNoOne short sentence summarizing the user's overall task. Helps return more relevant results. Write it in English even when the conversation is in another language. MUST be the same across all calls for the same task. Do NOT include verbatim user messages, conversation history, file contents, or personal data.
image_formatNoImage format. Use jpg if your client does not support webp.webp

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

The description adds meaningful behavioral context beyond the readOnlyHint annotation: it discloses that results include inline evenly-spaced preview images, metadata, per-screen previews, and an interactive gallery on MCP Apps. It also instructs the agent to examine images rather than rely solely on metadata, which is valuable operational guidance.

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 and front-loaded with the core action, then adds only high-value behavior and usage details. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

The description, combined with the rich schema and output schema, gives an agent everything needed to call the tool correctly. It covers what the tool does, how results are returned, how to interpret them, and platform-specific gallery 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?

With 100% schema description coverage, the schema already documents every parameter thoroughly, including guidance for query, platform, page, limit, task_intent, and image_format. The tool description itself adds no parameter-specific semantics beyond what the schema provides.

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 states a specific action ('Search Mobbin for multi-step user flows') with concrete examples like onboarding and checkout, and clearly frames the tool as a flow-focused search rather than a screen or section search. This distinguishes it from the sibling tools search_screens and search_sections.

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 when to use the tool — when looking for multi-step flows — but it never explicitly contrasts it with search_screens or search_sections. The query guidance in the schema adds helpful do's and don'ts, but no direct 'use this instead of X' guidance is present.

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

search_screensSearch ScreensA
Read-only
Inspect

Search Mobbin for UI screens using natural language. Returns matching screens with inline images and metadata. Examine the returned images to understand each screen's actual content — do not describe or summarize screens based solely on metadata. Each screen has a mobbin_url — the canonical Mobbin link for that screen. When you present results to the user, ALWAYS cite each screen you mention as a markdown link to its mobbin_url so the user can open it on Mobbin. On hosts that support MCP Apps, also renders an interactive gallery of the results.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
modeNoSearch mode. "standard" returns results with low latency. "deep" uses an AI-powered pipeline that interprets intent and scores each candidate for relevance, keeping the strong matches — ideal for nuanced queries. "fast" is a deprecated alias for "standard" and will be removed in a future version — use "standard" instead.deep
limitNoMaximum number of screens to return. Higher number of screens returned causes increased context usage.
queryYesDescribe one screen in plain language — the UI elements you'd see and how they relate. Be specific; detail helps. Good: "login screen with biometric authentication", "checkout page with promo code field and Apple Pay button". Avoid: combining multiple screens/intents (search separately), negations ("without ads"), vague style words ("modern", "clean"), disconnected keyword lists. Name a specific app to filter results to it (e.g. "Spotify now-playing screen"). Do not include platform (ios/web) — use the dedicated parameter.
platformYesPlatform to search
task_intentNoOne short sentence summarizing the user's overall task. Helps return more relevant results. Write it in English even when the conversation is in another language. MUST be the same across all calls for the same task. Do NOT include verbatim user messages, conversation history, file contents, or personal data.
image_formatNoImage format. Use jpg if your client does not support webp.webp
exclude_screen_idsNoScreen IDs to exclude from results

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Even with readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, the description adds significant behavioral value: it instructs the agent to examine returned images rather than inferring from metadata, mandates markdown citations to mobbin_url, and discloses the MCP Apps gallery rendering. These behaviors are not evident from annotations alone.

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 front-loaded with the core purpose and return value, then efficiently adds the most important usage constraints. Each sentence earns its place: the image-examination rule, the mobbin_url citation requirement, and the gallery rendering note are all materially useful without 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?

For a search tool with a rich input schema, a declared output schema, and read-only annotations, the description covers the essential behavioral guidance an agent needs: how to interpret results, how to cite them, and how the mode parameter affects latency/relevance. No critical calling detail is missing.

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 schema already thoroughly documents all seven parameters, including enums, defaults, and constraints. The description reinforces query best practices but does not add new parameter-level meaning beyond what the schema already provides; 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 states a specific verb ('Search'), a clear resource ('Mobbin UI screens'), and a distinct deliverable ('matching screens with inline images and metadata'). The name and phrasing clearly distinguish it from siblings like search_flows and search_sections by focusing on individual screens rather than flows or sections.

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 gives clear context for when to use this tool: when searching for UI screens by natural language, and it includes detailed query guidance such as avoiding combined intents and negations. It does not explicitly mention alternatives like search_flows or search_sections, so it stops short of full when/when-not differentiation.

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

search_sectionsSearch SectionsA
Read-only
Inspect

Search Mobbin for website sections (e.g. About, Pricing, Footer) using natural language. Returns section images inline along with metadata. Examine the returned images to understand each section's actual content — do not describe or summarize sections based solely on metadata. On hosts that support MCP Apps, also renders an interactive gallery of the results.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pageNoPage number for paginating through results.
limitNoMaximum number of sections to return. Higher number of sections returned causes increased context usage.
queryYesDescribe one website section in plain language — the content and elements you'd see. Be specific; detail helps. Good: "pricing page with plan comparison table", "hero section with signup form". Avoid: combining multiple sections (search separately), negations, vague style words, disconnected keyword lists.
task_intentNoOne short sentence summarizing the user's overall task. Helps return more relevant results. Write it in English even when the conversation is in another language. MUST be the same across all calls for the same task. Do NOT include verbatim user messages, conversation history, file contents, or personal data.
image_formatNoImage format. Use jpg if your client does not support webp.webp

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark the tool read-only and non-destructive; the description adds useful behavior beyond that: images are returned inline with metadata, results must be verified visually rather than summarized from metadata, and an interactive gallery appears on supporting MCP Apps hosts. 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?

Three focused sentences front-load the purpose, then explain the result-usage rule and the conditional gallery behavior. No filler or repetition of schema content.

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 read-only search tool, the description plus fully documented schema and output schema cover how to call it, what the results look like, and how to handle them. It is slightly incomplete only in not addressing sibling-tool selection or pagination/context-use nuance beyond the schema fields.

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% and the parameter descriptions are already rich, so the description does not need to re-explain parameters. It adds little parameter-specific meaning except emphasizing natural-language querying, which is the baseline expected when the schema carries the load.

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 names a specific verb and resource ('Search Mobbin for website sections') and gives concrete examples (About, Pricing, Footer) that set it apart from the sibling tools searching flows and screens. This is enough for an agent to recognize what this tool is for.

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?

It clearly states natural-language input and instructs inspecting returned images, but it never says when to prefer search_sections over search_flows or search_screens, or when not to use it. The distinction from siblings is left to the tool name and examples rather than explicit usage guidance.

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

A4.4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool searches a distinct content type—flows, screens, and sections—so an agent can clearly choose based on what kind of result is needed. The entity types are separate enough that there is no meaningful overlap or ambiguity.

Naming Consistency5/5

All three tools follow the exact same search_<plural-noun> pattern. This is a perfectly consistent and predictable naming convention.

Tool Count5/5

Three tools is well-scoped for a search-only server. Each tool covers one core Mobbin content category, and none feel redundant or unnecessary.

Completeness5/5

The server's apparent purpose is to search Mobbin's design content, and it covers the three primary content types: flows, screens, and sections. There are no obvious missing operations for this read-only search domain.
