TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It mentions Markdown conversion, which adds useful context beyond basic creation. However, it lacks details on permissions required, rate limits, error handling, or what happens on success (e.g., returns a page ID). For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is inadequate.

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 two concise sentences with zero waste: the first states the core purpose, and the second adds a key behavioral detail (Markdown conversion). It's front-loaded and efficiently structured.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity of a creation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain return values (e.g., page ID), error conditions, or important behavioral traits like authentication needs. While it covers the basic action and Markdown feature, it leaves critical gaps for effective agent use.

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 the schema fully documents all parameters (spaceKey, title, content, parentId). The description adds minimal value by noting Markdown support for the 'content' parameter, but doesn't elaborate on semantics beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate when the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Create a new page') and resource ('in Confluence'), distinguishing it from siblings like delete, get, list, search, and update. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from 'update_confluence_page' beyond the verb, missing a specific distinction about when to create vs. update.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'update_confluence_page' for modifying existing pages or 'list_confluence_pages' for browsing. The description implies usage for new pages but lacks explicit context, prerequisites, or exclusions.

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

delete_confluence_pageA

Delete a Confluence page by ID. Use with caution!

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pageIdYesThe ID of the page to delete

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. While 'Delete' implies mutation and 'Use with caution!' hints at destructiveness, it lacks details on permissions needed, whether deletion is reversible, what happens to child pages, or rate limits. This is a significant gap for a destructive tool with zero annotation coverage.

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 two sentences, front-loaded with the core action and resource, followed by a cautionary note. Every word serves a purpose, with no wasted text, making it highly efficient and easy to parse.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (destructive operation with no annotations or output schema), the description is minimally adequate. It states the purpose and warns of caution but lacks details on behavioral traits, output, or error handling, leaving gaps that could hinder effective use by an AI agent.

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%, with the parameter 'pageId' fully documented in the schema. The description does not add any additional meaning or context beyond what the schema provides (e.g., format examples or constraints), so it meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

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 specific action ('Delete') and resource ('a Confluence page by ID'), distinguishing it from sibling tools like create, get, list, search, and update. It directly communicates the tool's function without ambiguity.

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 provides clear context with 'Use with caution!', implying this is a destructive operation that should be used carefully. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., update for modifications) or list specific exclusions, which prevents a perfect score.

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

get_confluence_pageC

Get the content of a Confluence page by ID

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pageIdYesThe ID of the page to retrieve

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool retrieves content but doesn't mention any behavioral traits such as read-only nature (implied by 'get'), authentication requirements, rate limits, or what happens if the page ID is invalid. This leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves in practice.

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, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without any wasted words. It is appropriately sized and front-loaded, making it easy to parse quickly, which aligns well with the conciseness criteria.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address what the tool returns (e.g., full content, metadata, or error handling), nor does it provide context on usage versus siblings. For a tool with no structured behavioral data, the description should do more to compensate, but it remains minimal.

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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with the 'pageId' parameter clearly documented. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, as it only restates that the tool uses a page ID. According to the rules, with high schema coverage, the baseline is 3 even without param info in the description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Get the content') and resource ('a Confluence page by ID'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_confluence_pages' or 'search_confluence_pages' beyond the basic verb, missing an opportunity to specify this is for retrieving a single page's content rather than metadata or search results.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'list_confluence_pages' or 'search_confluence_pages'. The description implies usage when you have a specific page ID, but it doesn't explicitly state this as a prerequisite or contrast with other tools, leaving the agent to infer context from the tool name alone.

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

list_confluence_pagesC

List all pages in a Confluence space

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
spaceKeyYesThe space key to list pages from

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the action ('List all pages') but does not describe key traits such as pagination behavior, rate limits, authentication requirements, or what happens if the space key is invalid. This leaves significant gaps for a tool that likely interacts with an external API.

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, direct sentence that efficiently conveys the core function without any unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and wastes no space, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not address behavioral aspects like error handling or return format, and while the schema covers the parameter, the overall context for a tool that likely fetches data from Confluence is insufficient for reliable agent use.

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 input schema has 100% description coverage, with the 'spaceKey' parameter clearly documented. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, as it only repeats the concept of listing pages from a space without elaborating on parameter usage or constraints. This meets the baseline for high schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb ('List') and resource ('all pages in a Confluence space'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it does not distinguish this tool from its sibling 'search_confluence_pages', which likely serves a similar listing function with filtering capabilities, so it falls short of a perfect score.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'search_confluence_pages' or 'get_confluence_page'. It lacks context about prerequisites, such as needing a valid space key, and does not mention any exclusions or specific use cases, leaving the agent with minimal direction.

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

search_confluence_pagesC

Search for pages in a Confluence space by title

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
spaceKeyYesThe space key to search in
queryYesThe search query (matches page titles)

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure but only states the basic action without details on permissions, rate limits, pagination, or response format. It fails to address whether this is a read-only operation, how results are returned, or any constraints, leaving significant gaps in understanding the tool's behavior.

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, direct sentence that efficiently conveys the core functionality without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and appropriately sized, making it easy to parse and understand quickly, with no wasted information.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the lack of annotations and output schema, the description is incomplete for a search tool. It does not explain what the tool returns (e.g., list of pages, metadata), how results are structured, or any behavioral nuances like search limitations. This leaves the agent with insufficient context to use the tool effectively beyond basic invocation.

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 description coverage is 100%, with both parameters clearly documented in the input schema. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema provides, such as explaining search syntax or match criteria. However, since the schema does the heavy lifting, the baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Search for pages') and resource ('in a Confluence space by title'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'list_confluence_pages', which might also retrieve pages but without search functionality, leaving room for ambiguity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'list_confluence_pages' for retrieving all pages without filtering or 'get_confluence_page' for fetching a specific page by ID. It lacks context on prerequisites, exclusions, or typical use cases, offering minimal usage direction.

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

update_confluence_pageC

Update an existing page in Confluence

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pageIdYesThe ID of the page to update
titleYesThe new title of the page
contentYesThe new page content in Markdown format

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool updates a page but does not explain critical aspects like required permissions, whether changes are reversible, rate limits, or what happens to unspecified fields. This is inadequate for a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage.

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, direct sentence with zero wasted words, making it highly concise and front-loaded. It efficiently communicates the core action without unnecessary elaboration, earning a perfect score for brevity and clarity.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity of a mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It lacks details on behavioral traits (e.g., permissions, side effects), return values, or error handling, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent to understand the tool's full context and usage.

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 description coverage is 100%, with clear descriptions for all three parameters (pageId, title, content). The description does not add any semantic details beyond what the schema provides, such as format examples or constraints, but the schema does the heavy lifting, justifying a baseline score of 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Update') and resource ('an existing page in Confluence'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it does not differentiate this tool from its siblings like 'create_confluence_page' or 'get_confluence_page' beyond the basic verb, which prevents a perfect score.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing page ID), exclusions, or comparisons to sibling tools like 'create_confluence_page' for new pages or 'delete_confluence_page' for removal, leaving usage context unclear.

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

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity: create, delete, get, list, search, and update are all unique actions targeting Confluence pages. The descriptions reinforce this with specific functions like 'create a new page', 'delete by ID', 'get content by ID', 'list all pages', 'search by title', and 'update an existing page'.

Naming Consistency5/5

Tool names follow a perfectly consistent verb_noun pattern throughout, all using snake_case with the format 'action_confluence_page' (e.g., create_confluence_page, delete_confluence_page). This predictability makes it easy for agents to understand and select tools without confusion.

Tool Count5/5

With 6 tools, this server is well-scoped for managing Confluence pages, covering essential CRUD operations (create, get, update, delete) plus listing and searching. Each tool earns its place without being excessive or insufficient for the domain, fitting typical expectations of 3-15 tools.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface provides complete CRUD/lifecycle coverage for Confluence pages, including create, read (get, list, search), update, and delete. There are no obvious gaps or dead ends, as agents can perform all core operations needed to manage pages in this domain effectively.
