A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The readOnlyHint annotation already establishes safety, so the description appropriately adds behavioral details beyond that: cursor pagination, raw filter/order_by support, and relation depth. This gives the agent useful context about capabilities without contradicting the annotation.

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, information-dense sentence followed by the REST endpoint. It is front-loaded with the core purpose, contains no fluff, and every phrase adds value.

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

Completeness4/5

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

The tool is simple and the schema already documents parameters thoroughly. The description covers core functionality and the pagination-related params reference pageInfo, providing enough context for an agent to use the tool effectively. It could explicitly state the response shape, but the absence of an output schema is mitigated by the schema's pagination hints.

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?

The schema provides 100% coverage with detailed descriptions for all six parameters, including syntax examples and defaults. The description only summarizes these features ('cursor pagination', 'raw filter/order_by'), adding no new semantic information 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 begins with 'List/filter tasks,' which is a specific verb+resource pair that clearly distinguishes it from sibling list tools for other entities. The inclusion of the REST endpoint 'GET /rest/tasks' further anchors the tool's purpose.

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 intended usage is strongly implied by the name and description, but there is no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like twenty_get_task for single records. No exclusions or contrasting sibling tools are mentioned, leaving selection to inference.

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
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool follows a clear action-entity pattern, so there is no overlap; even the metadata listing is distinct from record operations. No two tools could be confused.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools use the twenty_<verb>_<entity> convention with verbs create/get/list/update, in lowercase snake_case. Naming is perfectly consistent across the set.

Tool Count4/5

20 tools is slightly above the typical well-scoped range but justified by five core entities each needing create/get/list/update. However, the count feels a bit heavy, especially without delete tools.

Completeness3/5

The server covers create, read, and list for all entities, and update for most, but lacks delete operations entirely and does not support updating notes. These are notable gaps in full lifecycle management.
