connect

Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns connection status and URLs. When all providers are connected, returns authenticated:true and empty pending[]. When credentials are missing, returns connect_url for the toolkit and per-install URLs.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint, so the safety profile is known. The description adds behavioral context by explaining the conditional responses: when all providers are connected, it returns authenticated:true and empty pending[], and when credentials are missing, it returns connect_url. This goes beyond what annotations provide, adding valuable state-dependent behavior details.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is two concise sentences, front-loading the main purpose ('Returns connection status and URLs'). Every sentence adds necessary information about the conditional outputs, with no fluff or redundancy.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity (no parameters, no output schema), the description adequately covers the expected outputs and conditions. It explains the two primary states—connected and missing credentials—and the relevant URLs, making it complete enough for an agent to understand the tool's behavior without additional context.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters, so the baseline for parameter semantics is 4. The description does not need to explain parameters, and since there are none, it correctly omits any parameter-related details. No additional meaning is required beyond the empty schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's function: it returns connection status and URLs. This is a specific verb-resource pair and is distinct from sibling tools like authenticate, marketplace, and show_version, which serve different purposes.

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 context on what the tool does, describing the outputs under different conditions (all providers connected vs. missing credentials). It implies usage for checking connection status, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus alternatives like authenticate. There are no exclusions, so it qualifies as clear context without exclusions.

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

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes: authenticate/connect handle auth, marketplace is the catalog/execution hub, sintegra_pe_consultar is the actual data lookup, and report_bug/show_version/toolkit_info are auxiliary. Some overlap between connect and toolkit_info regarding connection status, but descriptions clarify the difference.

Naming Consistency3/5

Naming mixes lowercase single-word verbs (authenticate, connect, marketplace, report_bug, show_version, toolkit_info) with one snake_case Portuguese tool (sintegra_pe_consultar). The pattern is not uniform, but the names are mostly readable and follow a verb-first or noun-verb structure.

Tool Count4/5

Seven tools is a reasonable count for a hybrid platform server that handles auth, catalog/search, execution orchestration, and one domain-specific lookup. It is slightly heavy because the marketplace tool bundles many sub-actions (search, describe, invoke, install, subscribe, list_tools, prompts) into one description, but the overall scope justifies the count.

Completeness4/5

The server covers the core lifecycle of platform management: auth, connection status, catalog discovery, one-off execution, permanent installation, billing controls, bug reporting, and version info. A minor gap is no explicit tool for managing multiple accounts or retrieving detailed per-install credentials beyond connect, but the described flows handle most needs.
