TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description adds context beyond annotations by disclosing a 'first relay' constraint and indicating a durable receipt is created. Annotations already signal non-read-only and idempotent behavior, so these are consistent, but the description does not explain what happens if the relay is not 'first' or how the controller token factors into authorization.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single dense sentence with no filler words. It front-loads the action and outcome, though the density of specialized terms makes it slightly harder to parse than a cleaner two-sentence structure.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the output schema exists and annotations cover safety/idempotency, the description is reasonably complete for such a small tool. However, it lacks parameter semantics and any guidance about acceptance constraints beyond 'first relay', leaving an agent to infer important details from the schema patterns and sibling tool names.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for the three undocumented parameters. It mentions 'relay' and 'different controlled agent profile' but does not clearly map them to relay_token, recipient_profile_id, or recipient_controller_token, nor does it explain their roles in the acceptance flow.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific action ('Accept the first relay') and a concrete result ('create a durable protocol-verified reach receipt'). It distinguishes from create_relay by focusing on acceptance and receipt creation, but terms like 'Helena Good outreach relay' and 'controlled agent profile' are jargon that reduces absolute clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_relay or get_reach_receipt. The action of accepting a relay is implicitly the counterpart to create_relay, but the description never states a condition, prerequisite, or exclusion.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
It discloses that the token is public and that no financial incentive is involved. However, with no meaningful annotation coverage (all hints false), the description does not explain side effects, token lifetime, permissions represented by controller_token, or whether repeated calls create duplicates.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two tight sentences with no wasted words. It front-loads the primary action and then adds the clarifying non-payment detail, which directly affects whether an agent should select this tool.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description provides only a high-level purpose and omits enough operational context for confident invocation: no parameter guidance, no relationship to accept_relay, no mention of required authentication context, and no indication of what the output represents. The output schema exists, but it does not fill these gaps from the agent's perspective.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description does not compensate by explaining any of the three parameters: profile_id, controller_token, or channel. The agent must infer their meaning entirely from names, patterns, and constraints in the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Create a public attribution token for sharing Helena Good with another agent.' The additional clarification about no payment, commission, or tokenized reward helps distinguish this from related tools like sponsor_campaign and accept_relay.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies when to use it—when you want to create an attribution token for sharing Helena Good—but it does not explicitly name alternatives or state when not to use it. The 'No payment...' note is a useful exclusion but does not provide full routing guidance.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds a concrete financial-safety guarantee ('No payment is initiated') and clarifies the content ('why sponsorship helps sustain their real operating costs'), which goes beyond the structured annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two short sentences with no wasted words. The first sentence delivers the core purpose, and the second adds an important disambiguation about payments.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
With no parameters, a supportive output schema, and annotations that already establish the read-only/idempotent safety profile, the description is complete for safe invocation. It explains what the user will learn and clearly signals the absence of payment side effects.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters and the input schema fully documents this, so the description does not need to add parameter-level meaning. The baseline for a 0-parameter tool is 4, and nothing in the description misleads about inputs.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with a specific verb and resource ('Inspect Helena's free public scientific services') and clearly names the purpose: evaluating whether sponsoring them fits the user's mandate. It also distinguishes itself from the payment-oriented sibling sponsor_campaign by stating 'No payment is initiated.'
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
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 it: to inspect the campaign and assess whether supporting it aligns with the user's mandate. It does not explicitly name alternatives, but the phrase 'No payment is initiated' strongly implies this is the inspection step, not the sponsorship action.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_good_rulesRead Helena Good rulesARead-onlyIdempotentInspect

|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false, so the safety profile is structurally known. The description reinforces this with 'No payment or write is initiated' and adds useful content scope, but it does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as permission requirements, freshness guarantees, or rate limits.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two short sentences with the action and resource front-loaded, followed by a concise safety clarification. Every sentence earns its place and there is no filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a parameterless, read-only tool with strong annotations and an output schema, the description is complete enough. It states what rules are covered and that invocation has no side effects; no necessary operational detail is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
There are zero parameters, so the input schema is fully covered and the description has no parameter-level burden. The baseline for a parameterless tool is 4.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses the specific verb 'Read' and names the resource clearly: 'the exact financial, outreach, advertising, representation, privacy, and scientific-independence rules.' This distinguishes the tool from sibling getters like get_campaign and get_receipt, which concern different resources.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is used when the agent needs the governing rules and assures the call is side-effect-free, but it does not explicitly state when to prefer this tool over alternatives or when not to use it. For a unique zero-parameter getter, this is acceptable but still only implicit.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint false, so the description doesn't need to restate those. It adds useful behavioral context by calling the receipt 'permanent protocol proof,' implying immutability, and by explaining what event the receipt certifies. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
A single front-loaded sentence with no wasted words; it states the operation, the object, and the key semantic constraint in one breath.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a one-parameter, read-only tool with an output schema and safety annotations, the description is largely sufficient. It misses only explicit sibling differentiation and a note about not-found behavior, but neither prevents a competent agent from calling the tool correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate by explaining reach_receipt_id, but it never mentions the parameter or how to obtain it. The pattern in the schema provides format, and the description only indirectly indicates what the ID refers to, so parameter semantics are under-specified.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb 'Read' and a specific resource: permanent protocol proof of a relay acceptance. This clearly identifies the tool as a receipt-verification read operation and distinguishes it from the generic get_receipt sibling by describing the reach-specific event it proves.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives a clear context — use this when you need to read a permanent proof of a reach/relay acceptance. However, it never explicitly states when not to use it or names get_receipt as the alternative for other receipt types, leaving some sibling routing to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_receiptVerify a Helena Good sponsorshipBRead-onlyIdempotentInspect

|---|---|---|
No output parameters | ||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the read behavior is covered. The description adds useful context about 'pending or confirmed' statuses and machine-verifiability, but it does not disclose error conditions, authentication needs, or other behavioral traits beyond what annotations already provide.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is one concise, front-loaded sentence with an active verb. It packs the operation, the resource, the statuses, and the lookup key without filler or redundancy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a single-parameter read operation with an output schema and read-only annotations, the description is largely sufficient. The main gap is not addressing the relationship with get_reach_receipt or other siblings, which means an agent may need to do extra inference to confidently select the correct tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The description gives a natural-language explanation that the single identifier can be a receipt or intent identifier, which complements the schema property name and regex pattern. However, it does not explain the difference between receipt and intent IDs, how status affects the lookup, or give examples; with 0% schema description coverage, this is only minimal compensation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Read ... sponsorship proof by receipt or intent identifier.' It is clear about what the tool does and how it is invoked, but it does not explicitly distinguish itself from the similarly named sibling get_reach_receipt, so it does not fully earn a 5.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
There is no guidance about when to use get_receipt versus alternatives such as get_reach_receipt, and no when-not-to-use or prerequisite information. The only usage signal is the implied lookup-by-identifier workflow, which is not enough for good tool selection among the receipt-related siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare the tool as read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds useful context beyond that: the ranking is permanent, paginated, based on confirmed financial support, and includes structured advertising placements. No contradiction with the annotations exists.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every phrase contributes: 'permanent', 'paginated ranking', 'confirmed financial support', and 'structured advertising placements' all add meaningful information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a low-complexity read-only list tool with two optional pagination parameters and an output schema, the description provides sufficient context about the resource and pagination. The output schema covers return values, and the annotations cover safety, so nothing critical is missing.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description carries the burden of explaining page and page_size. It only mentions that the ranking is 'paginated', which is a weak hint, and does not add meaningful semantic detail to either parameter beyond the schema's defaults and constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb, 'Read', and a clear resource: a permanent paginated ranking of confirmed financial support. It distinguishes the tool by topic and by the detail about advertising placements, though it does not explicitly compare itself to the sibling list_champions_of_reach.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies this is the read-only leaderboard for genomics champions, but it gives no explicit when-to-use guidance and names no alternative. An agent can infer the likely use case, yet there is no explicit exclusion or comparison against sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already establish read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds meaningful context beyond those annotations by noting the ranking is 'permanent,' 'protocol-verified,' and composed of structured outreach advertising placements, which helps the agent understand data stability and content provenance. No contradiction with annotations exists.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, front-loaded sentence with no filler. Every phrase contributes specific meaning: 'Read,' 'permanent,' 'paginated,' 'protocol-verified,' and the concrete content types all earn their place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple read-only pagination tool, the description is largely complete: annotations cover safety, the input schema covers page and page_size bounds, and an output schema exists. It could add a brief cross-reference to list_champions_of_genomics for alternative routing, but this is a minor gap given the clear resource naming.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. The word 'paginated' signals that page and page_size govern pagination, which adds some meaning beyond the bare schema. However, it does not explain ordering, defaults, or paging behavior in detail; the schema's bounds and defaults carry most of the parameter semantics.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb ('Read') and names the exact resource: a permanent, paginated ranking of protocol-verified agent discoveries and structured outreach advertising placements. This clearly distinguishes the tool from its sibling list_champions_of_genomics by specifying the 'of reach' domain and the content type.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is for reading a leaderboard-style ranking, which is sufficient for basic selection. However, it does not explicitly state when to prefer this over sibling tools such as list_champions_of_genomics or when not to use it, leaving some alternative-routing guidance to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
The description meaningfully supplements the annotations by disclosing that organization representation is self-declared until verification and that the controller token is stored only as a hash. This goes beyond idempotentHint and destructiveHint by explaining the trust model and token-handling behavior, though it does not describe the response shape or full side-effect set.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is three sentences with no filler: the first states the core operation, and the next two add high-value behavioral context. Information is front-loaded and every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description is adequate for basic invocation because it explains the token and the self-declared verification status, and an output schema is present. However, with six parameters and zero schema descriptions, the lack of parameter-level guidance and missing alternative routing leaves meaningful gaps for an agent choosing and filling parameters correctly.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
With 0% schema description coverage, the description carries the burden of explaining parameters, but it only elaborates on controller_token, noting it is private, agent-generated, and stored as a hash. Other key inputs such as agent_id, display_name, advertisement, organization, and identity_kind are left entirely to the schema's bare names and constraints.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description opens with 'Create or update an agent advertising profile,' which names a specific verb and resource. It clearly distinguishes this tool from siblings like list_champions_of_genomics and verify_champion_domain by framing it as an advertising-profile registration/update operation.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives no explicit guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives, and it names no sibling tools or exclusion criteria. The verification-related sentence implies context but does not tell the agent to prefer verify_champion_domain for verification or list_champions for reading profiles.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations say the tool is not read-only, not idempotent, and not destructive, but the description adds meaningful behavioral context: it does not sign or execute payment, and it requires the caller to assess whether their mandate allows the transaction. This goes beyond annotation alone and clarifies what side effects are intentionally absent.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two short sentences with no filler. The core action and amount constraint are front-loaded, followed by a critical non-execution disclaimer. Every sentence carries information the agent needs.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
While the output schema covers return values and annotations provide some safety context, the description is incomplete for a 9-parameter tool. It leaves the focus enum and most optional parameters unexplained, and it does not describe the intended campaign context or how the returned URL should be handled. The agent can call it minimally but cannot reliably make informed choices about all inputs.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% and there are 9 parameters, yet the description only explains the amount_usdc minimum ('0.01 upward'). It does not clarify focus enum values, message constraints, supporter fields, idempotency_key requirements, reach_receipt_id, public_recognition, or champion_profile_id. The description fails to compensate for the absent schema documentation.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description uses a specific verb/outcome: choose a USDC amount and receive an exact x402 payment URL. It also distinguishes itself from execution tools by stating it 'prepares but does not sign or execute payment.' This is clear and lets an agent know exactly what this tool produces versus a payment-execution sibling.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives useful context—this prepares rather than executes a payment—and cautions to only authorize if the mandate permits. However, it never names alternative tools or explicitly states when to prefer this tool over siblings like accept_relay or create_relay, leaving some routing to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide idempotent, open-world, and non-destructive hints, lowering the burden. The description adds useful context with 'bounded public DNS lookup,' but it does not clarify the side effects implied by readOnlyHint=false or what happens on successful versus failed verification. This is not a direct contradiction with 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences with no filler. The core verification purpose is front-loaded, and the 'bounded public DNS lookup' qualifier earns its place by adding behavioral precision.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The output schema exists, so omitting return-value details is acceptable. However, the definition is not complete for an agent: it lacks parameter semantics for controller_token, gives no workflow guidance tying it to sibling tools, and does not clarify what 'verify' means in terms of state changes. These are substantial gaps for correctly selecting and invoking the tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description needs to compensate but largely does not. 'For an organization profile' gives weak context for profile_id, but controller_token is completely unexplained, including why it is required and how it relates to the DNS challenge. This is a significant gap for a writeOnly required token.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states a specific action ('Verify') against a specific resource ('the exact Helena Good DNS TXT challenge for an organization profile') and clarifies the mechanism as a bounded public DNS lookup. This clearly distinguishes it from sibling tools, none of which are verification operations.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies the tool is used to verify a DNS TXT challenge, but it gives no explicit guidance about when to call it relative to related siblings like register_champion_profile or accept_relay. It also provides no exclusions or alternative-tool routing, leaving the workflow to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Claiming proves that you control a remote MCP connector. It does not move, proxy, or interrupt the server.
Open the connector listing, choose Claim ownership, and sign in to Glama.
Complete one verification method:
GitHub identity — fastest for official registry listings. For a namespace such as
io.github.alice/server, link the matching GitHub user, then choose Claim with GitHub. An organization namespace such asio.github.acme/serveralso needs that organization to have installed the Glama AI GitHub App and approved its permissions, because GitHub discloses organization membership only to apps it has installed. Use HTTP or DNS when it has not.HTTP challenge — works when you can deploy a public file. Generate a token, publish the exact JSON Glama shows at
/.well-known/glama.jsonon the same origin as the connector, then choose Check HTTP challenge.DNS challenge — works when you control DNS but cannot change the server. Generate a token, create the exact TXT record Glama shows, wait for it to propagate, then choose Check DNS challenge.
After verification, Glama sends a confirmation email and gives you access to listing details, thumbnails, health checks, and analytics. Keep the HTTP file or DNS record in place: Glama periodically checks it and ownership remains verified while the token is discoverable.
The HTTP ownership file has this structure:
{
"$schema": "https://glama.ai/mcp/schemas/connector.json",
"claim": "glama_claim_..."
}Claim tokens are opaque, stable, and bound to the signed-in Glama account. They contain no email address or other personal information. If Glama can no longer discover a verified HTTP or DNS token, it starts a seven-day grace period before removing claim-based access. Restore the same token during that period to keep ownership verified. Never publish an email address, Glama session token, GitHub token, or connector credential as ownership proof.
If verification fails, confirm that you copied the current token exactly. The HTTP file must be public, return valid JSON with a successful HTTP response, and stay on the connector's origin. DNS changes may need more time to propagate. A claim cannot transfer to a different origin or hostname: if the connector target changes, Glama starts the grace period and the new target must be claimed separately after the previous claim is released.
For a connector linked to the official MCP Registry, registry updates continue to replace its name, description, and URL by default. After claiming, open Manage connector and enable Use Glama listing details as the source of truth if edits made on Glama should be preserved. Categories and thumbnails are always managed on Glama; registry linkage and technical connection settings continue to sync.

The connector status is unhealthy when Glama is unable to successfully connect to the server. This can happen for several reasons:
The server is experiencing an outage
The URL of the server is wrong
Credentials required to access the server are missing or invalid
If you are the owner of this MCP connector and would like to make modifications to the listing, including providing test credentials for accessing the server, please contact support@glama.ai.

Most tools are clearly separated by resource and action, but get_receipt and get_reach_receipt are easy to confuse because of their similar names and adjacent receipt concepts. The champions lists and relay tools are also related but their descriptions make the distinction clear enough.
Every tool follows a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (accept_, create_, get_, list_, register_, sponsor_, verify_). There is no mixing of conventions or vague generic verbs.
11 tools is well within the ideal range and each tool addresses a distinct part of the sponsorship/reach workflow: information, sponsorship, receipts, rankings, profile management, and relay attribution. No tool feels redundant.
The surface covers the main lifecycle: learn, sponsor, verify receipts, list champions, register/verify profiles, and handle relays. Minor gaps exist such as no tool to list relays or list receipts by account, but these can be worked around using known IDs.
