Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous IP, BYO key hash, or account ID). Pair with remember to save, forget to delete.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already provide read-only, idempotent, non-destructive hints. Description adds scoping to identifier and the ability to list all keys, providing useful context beyond 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 sentences, minimal and informative, no wasted words. Front-loaded with purpose.

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 one optional parameter, no output schema, and annotations covering safety, the description fully explains behavior, scoping, and relationship to sibling tools.

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 1 parameter with 100% coverage description. The description adds clarity about omitting key to list all keys, adding value beyond 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 it retrieves a value saved via remember, or lists all keys if omitted. It distinguishes from sibling tools remember and forget.

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?

Explicitly says when to use (look up context stored earlier) and mentions pairing with remember and forget. Does not explicitly state when not to use, but context is clear given sibling list.

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

A3.8/5.0
Disambiguation2/5

Multiple tools have unclear boundaries: ask_pipeworx_beta is explicitly identical to ask_pipeworx right now, and ask_pipeworx_grounded is a subtle behavioral variant, creating a real selection hazard. The six polymarket_* tools also blur together (edges vs arbitrage vs fill_risk vs kalshi_spread all relate to finding and acting on mispricings), and scan_competitor_ai_presence is largely a wrapper over ai_visibility_check.

Naming Consistency3/5

All names are snake_case and several families share clear prefixes (ask_pipeworx, polymarket_*, pipeworx_*, scan_*), which keeps the set readable. However, the set mixes verb-first names (get_sample, compare_entities, resolve_entity) with noun-first names (entity_profile, bet_research, recent_changes, polymarket_edges), and the _beta suffix signals a status while _grounded signals a behavior, so the pattern is not predictable.

Tool Count2/5

33 tools is above the threshold where a tool set starts to feel bloated, and for a server named 'Biosamples' it is an extreme scope mismatch: 31 of 33 tools relate to Pipeworx data routing, prediction markets, memory, or subscriptions rather than biological samples. The count is also padded with near-duplicates such as ask_pipeworx_beta and scan_competitor_ai_presence.

Completeness2/5

Against the server's stated identity, the BioSamples surface is severely thin: only search_samples and get_sample exist, with no batch retrieval, project/group navigation, sample-group hierarchy, or submission/update path. The 31 unrelated tools do not fill this gap — they serve a completely different domain, so an agent using this server for biological sample data will hit dead ends.
