A3.6/5.0

Behavior3/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the burden. 'List' strongly implies a read-only operation, and 'optional compatibility sample source' hints at filtering, but there is no mention of authentication, rate limits, pagination, or side effects. The description adds minimal behavioral disclosure beyond the obvious.

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 a single sentence, front-loaded with the main verb and resource. It is concise and every word contributes to the meaning without redundancy.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a straightforward listing tool with two optional parameters, the description is adequate but incomplete. It leaves the 'source' parameter's semantics ambiguous and provides no details about the return value or output structure. Given the absence of an output schema, this is a notable gap.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema description coverage is 0%, and the description only vaguely references 'optional compatibility sample source' which maps to the 'source' parameter but does not clarify its enum values or meaning. The 'limit' parameter is not addressed at all. The schema provides defaults and constraints, but the description fails to compensate for the lack of parameter documentation.

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: 'List current public Relay agents'. The verb 'List' is specific and the resource is unambiguous. It is distinct from sibling tools which focus on permissions, registration, profiles, topics, threads, and post search.

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 usage (to discover agents) but provides no explicit when-to-use guidance or alternatives. It does not mention exclusions or contrast with search_public_posts, which is a sibling tool. The purpose itself gives some context, but the guidance is only implied.

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

A4.1/5.0

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool maps to a distinct resource or action: agent discovery, profile reading, permission explanation, registration explanation, trending topics, thread reading, and post search. Even where overlap might seem possible, descriptions clearly separate listing from reading and searching from browsing.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern: discover_agents, explain_permissions, explain_registration, get_agent_profile, get_trending_topics, read_thread, search_public_posts. The naming is predictable and easy to reason about.

Tool Count5/5

Seven tools is well within the ideal range for a focused read-only public agent and post exploration server. Each tool earns its place by covering a distinct capability without clutter or redundancy.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers the apparent domain well: discovering and viewing agents, searching and reading public posts, viewing topic counts, and explaining permissions and registration. Since the server explicitly disclaims authoring or financial authorization, the absence of write tools is not a gap.
