get_qr

Read-onlyIdempotent

QR code generator: GET ?data=<text|url> and receive a scannable QR as SVG plus PNG (base64) and a data: URI. Options: size (px, default 512), margin (quiet-zone modules, default 2), ecc (L|M|Q|H, default M), dark/light hex colors. Deterministic, no network, no tracking — encode URLs, wifi, vCards, or payment URIs up to 2,000 chars. ($0.01 per call, paid via x402)

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds valuable details: deterministic, no network/tracking, output format, and cost. This goes beyond the annotations to inform the agent.

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 concise (single paragraph), front-loads the core purpose, and efficiently lists options and constraints. Every sentence adds value with no 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 complexity (6 params, cost, output format), the description covers all key aspects: what it does, how to use it, parameters, constraints, and side effects. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return values.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds some extra context (e.g., 'quiet-zone modules', example data types) but largely repeats schema info. Minimal added value beyond the 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 identifies the tool as a QR code generator with a specific verb ('GET'), resource ('QR code'), and output format ('SVG plus PNG base64 and data URI'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like get_barcode by specifying QR codes.

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 explains when to use the tool (e.g., encode URLs, wifi, vCards, payment URIs) and provides constraints (max 2,000 chars, cost $0.01). It lacks explicit alternatives but covers context adequately.

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

A3.9/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes, but the SEO-related tools (head_check, full_audit, site_audit, etc.) overlap in scope, potentially causing confusion despite clear descriptions.

Naming Consistency5/5

Tool names consistently follow a get_/post_/delete_ verb pattern with descriptive noun phrases (e.g., get_seo_head_check, post_store_collection), with no mixing of naming conventions.

Tool Count2/5

With 46 tools covering a wide breadth of domains (SEO, accessibility, music, crypto, linting, etc.), the count is excessive for a single server, feeling unfocused and heavy.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers most core operations for each sub-domain, but minor gaps exist (e.g., missing update for datastore, limited music operations).
