list_subscriptionsList the caller's active subscriptions. Returns id, type, params, created_at, last_fired_at, fire_count for each. Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| include_inactive | No | Include cancelled subscriptions in the response (default false). |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the description's main behavioral addition is the list of returned fields. This is useful but not extensive, resulting in a neutral score.
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, front-loading the core purpose and returns, followed by a concise usage tip. Every sentence earns its place with no 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?
Given the tool's simplicity (one optional parameter, no output schema) and comprehensive annotations, the description covers purpose, return structure, and usage guidance adequately. No gaps remain.
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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with the parameter 'include_inactive' already well-described. The tool description does not add any parameter semantics beyond the schema, so baseline score applies.
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 explicitly states 'List the caller's active subscriptions' and enumerates the returned fields (id, type, etc.), making the purpose clear and differentiating it from sibling tools like subscribe and unsubscribe.
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 provides specific usage scenarios: 'Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.' While it doesn't explicitly exclude other contexts, the guidance is clear and actionable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes (e.g., NPS park tools vs. Pipeworx queries vs. Polymarket analysis). Some overlap exists between ask_pipeworx and ask_pipeworx_grounded, and among the many Polymarket tools, but descriptions help differentiate them.
Naming conventions vary: some use verb_noun (list_parks), others use descriptive phrases (ask_pipeworx_grounded, scan_competitor_ai_presence). While all use snake_case, there is no consistent pattern in prefixes or verb choice.
35 tools is too many for a coherent server. The set appears to bundle multiple unrelated domains (NPS, Pipeworx, Polymarket, memory, subscriptions) into a single server, lacking focused scope.
Each domain has notable gaps (e.g., NPS lacks real-time conditions; Pipeworx lacks data ingestion tools; Polymarket lacks order placement). Some sub-areas (memory, subscriptions) are complete, but overall the surface is incomplete for the broad range of domains.
