Available Tools
21 toolsdiscord_add_multiple_reactionsC
Adds multiple emoji reactions to a Discord message at once
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| channelId | Yes | ||
| messageId | Yes | ||
| emojis | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but lacks behavioral details. It doesn't disclose whether this requires specific permissions, rate limits, error conditions, or what happens if emojis are invalid. 'Adds' implies a write operation, but no further behavioral context is given.
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 a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, directly stating the tool's purpose without unnecessary elaboration.
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?
For a 3-parameter write tool with no annotations and 0% schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It lacks parameter explanations, behavioral context, and output information (no output schema exists). The description doesn't compensate for the missing structured data.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate but provides no parameter information. It doesn't explain what 'channelId', 'messageId', or 'emojis' represent, their formats, or constraints. The description adds no meaning beyond the bare schema.
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 clearly states the action ('Adds multiple emoji reactions') and target ('to a Discord message at once'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. It distinguishes from the sibling 'discord_add_reaction' by specifying 'multiple' reactions, though it doesn't explicitly name the alternative.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus the sibling 'discord_add_reaction' for single reactions, nor does it mention prerequisites like authentication or channel/message existence. It only states what the tool does without contextual usage information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_add_reactionC
Adds an emoji reaction to a specific Discord message
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| channelId | Yes | ||
| messageId | Yes | ||
| emoji | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states the action but doesn't mention whether this requires specific permissions, rate limits, potential side effects (e.g., notification to message author), or what happens on success/failure. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.
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 a single, clear sentence with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple tool and front-loads the core functionality immediately.
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?
For a mutation tool with 3 parameters, 0% schema description coverage, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is inadequate. It doesn't compensate for the missing structured information about parameters, behavior, or results, leaving significant gaps for the agent.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, meaning none of the 3 parameters are documented in the schema. The description doesn't add any parameter information beyond what's implied by the tool name (emoji parameter). It doesn't explain what format 'emoji' should be in, how to obtain 'channelId' and 'messageId', or any constraints on these values.
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 clearly states the action ('Adds an emoji reaction') and target ('to a specific Discord message'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from its sibling 'discord_remove_reaction' or 'discord_add_multiple_reactions', which would be needed for 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.
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 'discord_add_multiple_reactions' or 'discord_remove_reaction'. It also doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing appropriate permissions) or contextual constraints, leaving the agent with minimal usage direction.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_create_forum_postC
Creates a new post in a Discord forum channel with optional tags
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| forumChannelId | Yes | ||
| title | Yes | ||
| content | Yes | ||
| tags | No |
TDQS
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 it 'creates' a new post, implying a write operation, but lacks details on permissions required, rate limits, error conditions, or what happens on success (e.g., returns a post ID). This is a significant gap 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action ('Creates a new post') and includes the key optional feature ('with optional tags'). There is no wasted verbiage, making it appropriately sized for the tool's complexity.
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 a mutation tool with 4 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain parameter meanings, behavioral traits like permissions or side effects, or return values, leaving critical gaps for agent invocation.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the schema provides no parameter details. The description mentions 'optional tags', which hints at the tags parameter, but doesn't explain forumChannelId, title, or content. It adds minimal value beyond the schema's property names, failing to fully compensate for the coverage gap.
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 clearly states the verb ('creates') and resource ('new post in a Discord forum channel'), making the purpose specific and understandable. It distinguishes from siblings like discord_create_text_channel by specifying 'forum channel', but doesn't explicitly differentiate from discord_reply_to_forum or discord_delete_forum_post beyond the creation aspect.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing forumChannelId from discord_get_forum_channels), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings like discord_reply_to_forum or discord_send for other channel types, leaving usage context implied at best.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_create_text_channelC
Creates a new text channel in a Discord server with an optional topic
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| guildId | Yes | ||
| channelName | Yes | ||
| topic | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states the basic action without disclosing behavioral traits. It doesn't mention required permissions, rate limits, whether the operation is idempotent, or what happens on failure (e.g., if guildId is invalid). 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action and includes the key optional feature. There is no wasted text, making it appropriately sized and easy to parse quickly.
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 complexity of a mutation tool with no annotations, 0% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on permissions, error handling, return values, and parameter semantics, making it insufficient for safe and 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.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate but only mentions 'optional topic' for one of three parameters. It doesn't explain guildId (server identifier), channelName (naming rules), or topic (purpose/content), leaving most parameter meanings undocumented and failing to add value beyond the bare schema.
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 clearly states the action ('creates') and resource ('new text channel in a Discord server') with an additional feature ('optional topic'), making the purpose specific and understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like discord_create_forum_post or discord_create_webhook, which also create Discord resources but for different channel types.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as discord_create_forum_post for forum channels or discord_create_webhook for webhooks. It also lacks prerequisites, like needing proper permissions or a valid guildId, 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.
discord_create_webhookC
Creates a new webhook for a Discord channel
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| channelId | Yes | ||
| name | Yes | ||
| avatar | No | ||
| reason | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. While 'creates' implies a write/mutation operation, it doesn't describe what happens after creation (e.g., returns webhook URL/token), permission requirements, rate limits, or whether the operation is idempotent. For a creation tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant behavioral gaps.
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 a single, efficient sentence that states the core purpose without unnecessary words. It's appropriately sized for a basic creation operation and front-loads the essential information. Every word earns its place.
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?
For a creation tool with 4 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is inadequate. It doesn't explain what the tool returns (webhook object/URL), parameter semantics, or behavioral context like permissions. The agent lacks sufficient information to use this tool correctly without external knowledge.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the schema provides no parameter documentation. The description adds no information about any parameters—it doesn't explain what 'channelId', 'name', 'avatar', or 'reason' mean, their formats, or constraints. With 4 parameters (2 required) completely undocumented, the description fails to compensate for the schema's lack of documentation.
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 clearly states the action ('creates') and resource ('new webhook for a Discord channel'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'discord_edit_webhook' or 'discord_delete_webhook', but the verb 'creates' distinguishes it from those modification/deletion operations.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (like needing channel access), when not to use it, or how it differs from related tools like 'discord_send_webhook_message' (which uses existing webhooks). The agent must infer usage from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_delete_channelC
Deletes a Discord channel with an optional reason
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| channelId | Yes | ||
| reason | No |
TDQS
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 action ('Deletes') but doesn't mention critical behavioral aspects like required permissions, irreversibility of the action, rate limits, or what happens to channel content. This is inadequate for a destructive operation 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—a single sentence that directly states the tool's function and hints at a parameter. There's no wasted language, and the information is front-loaded, making it efficient for quick comprehension.
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 destructive nature, lack of annotations, no output schema, and low schema coverage, the description is insufficient. It doesn't cover permissions, consequences, error handling, or return values, leaving the agent poorly equipped to use this tool safely and effectively.
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 description mentions an 'optional reason' parameter, which adds some semantic context beyond the schema's 0% coverage. However, it doesn't explain the 'channelId' parameter or provide details on format, constraints, or how to obtain it, leaving significant gaps in parameter understanding.
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 clearly states the action ('Deletes') and resource ('a Discord channel'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate this tool from sibling tools like 'discord_delete_message' or 'discord_delete_forum_post' beyond the resource type, 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.
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. There's no mention of prerequisites (e.g., permissions needed), consequences, or comparison to other deletion tools in the sibling list, leaving the agent with no contextual usage information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_delete_forum_postC
Deletes a forum post or thread with an optional reason
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| threadId | Yes | ||
| reason | No |
TDQS
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 deletes forum posts/threads, implying a destructive mutation, but doesn't mention whether this action is reversible, what permissions are required, or how it affects associated data (e.g., replies, reactions). The optional 'reason' hint is useful but insufficient 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is extremely concise—a single sentence that efficiently conveys the core action and key parameter feature. Every word earns its place with no redundancy or fluff. It's front-loaded with the primary purpose, making it easy to scan and understand quickly.
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?
For a destructive mutation tool with 2 parameters, 0% schema coverage, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is inadequate. It lacks details on permissions, side effects, error conditions, return values, and parameter specifics. While concise, it doesn't provide enough context for safe and effective use, especially given the tool's potential impact.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for undocumented parameters. It mentions 'threadId' implicitly by referring to forum posts/threads and notes the optional 'reason' parameter, providing basic semantic context. However, it doesn't explain what threadId represents (e.g., format, source), when reason is used, or any constraints, leaving significant gaps for both parameters.
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 clearly states the action ('Deletes') and target ('a forum post or thread'), making the purpose unambiguous. It distinguishes from siblings like discord_delete_message by specifying forum posts/threads, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with discord_delete_channel or other deletion tools. The description is specific but could be more precise about what distinguishes it from similar tools.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like discord_delete_message or discord_delete_channel. It mentions an optional 'reason' parameter but doesn't explain when providing a reason is appropriate or required. There's no context about prerequisites, permissions, or typical use cases for forum post deletion versus other deletion operations.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_delete_messageC
Deletes a specific message from a Discord text channel
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| channelId | Yes | ||
| messageId | Yes | ||
| reason | No |
TDQS
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 action ('Deletes') but fails to mention critical details such as required permissions (e.g., 'Manage Messages'), whether the deletion is permanent or reversible, rate limits, or error handling. This leaves 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, clear sentence that front-loads the core action and resource without any wasted words. It is appropriately sized for a straightforward tool, making it easy to parse and understand at a glance.
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 complexity (a destructive operation with 3 parameters), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It does not cover behavioral aspects like permissions or effects, parameter details, or return values, leaving the agent with insufficient context for safe and effective use.
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 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It does not explain what 'channelId' or 'messageId' represent (e.g., Discord IDs), the format of these IDs, or the optional 'reason' parameter's purpose (e.g., audit log entry). This lack of semantic detail makes parameter usage ambiguous.
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 clearly states the action ('Deletes') and the resource ('a specific message from a Discord text channel'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'discord_delete_channel' or 'discord_delete_forum_post', which target different resources, so it lacks explicit sibling distinction.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'discord_remove_reaction' for reactions or 'discord_delete_channel' for channels. It also omits prerequisites like needing appropriate permissions or being in the correct context, leaving usage unclear beyond the basic action.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_delete_webhookC
Deletes an existing webhook for a Discord channel
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| webhookId | Yes | ||
| webhookToken | No | ||
| reason | No |
TDQS
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 'Deletes' implies a destructive mutation, the description lacks critical details such as permission requirements, whether the deletion is permanent or reversible, rate limits, or what happens upon success/failure. 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single, direct sentence that efficiently conveys the core action without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and appropriately sized for its purpose, with no wasted verbiage.
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 complexity (a destructive operation with 3 parameters), lack of annotations, 0% schema description coverage, and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not address behavioral risks, parameter meanings, or expected outcomes, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent to understand and use the tool correctly.
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 0% description coverage, and the tool description does not explain any parameters. It mentions 'webhook' but does not clarify what webhookId, webhookToken, or reason represent, their formats, or how they relate to the deletion process. With low schema coverage, 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.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the action ('Deletes') and resource ('an existing webhook for a Discord channel'), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it does not differentiate this tool from sibling tools like discord_delete_channel or discord_delete_message, which also perform deletion operations on different Discord resources.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a webhook ID), exclusions, or comparisons to sibling tools like discord_edit_webhook or discord_delete_channel, leaving the agent with no contextual usage information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_edit_webhookC
Edits an existing webhook for a Discord channel
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| webhookId | Yes | ||
| webhookToken | No | ||
| name | No | ||
| avatar | No | ||
| channelId | No | ||
| reason | No |
TDQS
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 'Edits an existing webhook,' which implies a mutation operation, but doesn't describe what happens during editing (e.g., partial updates, validation, permissions required), error conditions, or response format. For a 6-parameter mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves critical behavioral traits unexplained.
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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action ('Edits an existing webhook'). There is no wasted verbiage or redundancy, making it highly concise and well-structured for quick comprehension.
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 complexity (6 parameters, mutation operation, no output schema, and 0% schema coverage), the description is incomplete. It lacks details on parameter meanings, behavioral traits (e.g., permissions, error handling), and usage context. Without annotations or output schema, the description should provide more comprehensive guidance to compensate, which it does not.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for all 6 undocumented parameters. It mentions 'webhook' and 'Discord channel,' hinting at webhookId and channelId, but doesn't explain any parameters (e.g., what name, avatar, reason represent, or that webhookToken might be optional). The description adds minimal value beyond the schema's property names, failing to address the coverage gap adequately.
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 clearly states the verb ('Edits') and resource ('an existing webhook for a Discord channel'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It distinguishes this from sibling tools like discord_create_webhook (creation) and discord_delete_webhook (deletion), though it doesn't explicitly mention these distinctions. The description is specific but could be more precise about what aspects can be edited.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing an existing webhook), exclusions, or compare it to related tools like discord_create_webhook or discord_delete_webhook. The agent must infer usage from the name and context alone, which is insufficient for optimal tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_get_forum_channelsC
Lists all forum channels in a specified Discord server (guild)
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| guildId | Yes |
TDQS
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 lists forum channels but doesn't mention critical behaviors like whether it requires specific permissions, how results are formatted (e.g., pagination, error handling), or rate limits. This leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool operates beyond its basic function.
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 a single, well-structured sentence that efficiently conveys the core functionality without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the main action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly, and every part of the sentence contributes directly to understanding the tool's purpose.
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 moderate complexity (listing resources in a Discord server), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address behavioral aspects like permissions, result format, or error conditions, which are essential for an AI agent to use the tool effectively in real-world scenarios.
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 1 parameter (guildId) with 0% description coverage, meaning the schema provides no semantic details. The description adds context by specifying that guildId refers to a 'specified Discord server (guild)', which clarifies its purpose. However, it doesn't explain format (e.g., numeric ID, string), validation, or examples, so it only partially compensates for the low schema coverage.
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 clearly states the action ('Lists all forum channels') and the target resource ('in a specified Discord server (guild)'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like discord_list_guilds or discord_get_server_info, which also involve listing Discord entities, though those focus on different resources.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as how it differs from other channel-related tools like discord_create_text_channel or discord_get_forum_post. It lacks context about prerequisites, exclusions, or specific scenarios where this tool is preferred, leaving usage decisions ambiguous.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_get_forum_postC
Retrieves details about a forum post including its messages
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| threadId | Yes |
TDQS
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 retrieves details, implying a read-only operation, but doesn't cover critical aspects like authentication needs, rate limits, error handling, or the format of returned details (e.g., JSON structure). For a tool with no annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.
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 a single, efficient sentence: 'Retrieves details about a forum post including its messages.' It's front-loaded with the core purpose and avoids unnecessary words, making it easy to parse quickly. Every part of the sentence contributes to understanding the tool's function.
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 complexity (a retrieval tool with no annotations, no output schema, and low schema coverage), the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'details' include beyond messages, how results are structured, or any behavioral constraints. For a tool that likely returns structured data, more context is needed to ensure proper usage by an AI agent.
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 1 parameter with 0% description coverage, meaning the schema provides no details about 'threadId.' The description doesn't add any parameter-specific information—it doesn't explain what a thread ID is, where to find it, or its expected format. However, with only one parameter, the baseline is higher, but the description fails to compensate for the lack of schema documentation.
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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Retrieves details about a forum post including its messages.' It specifies the verb ('retrieves') and resource ('forum post'), making it easy to understand what the tool does. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'discord_read_messages' or 'discord_get_forum_channels,' which could cause confusion about scope.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a thread ID), exclusions, or comparisons to siblings like 'discord_read_messages' (which might handle general messages) or 'discord_get_forum_channels' (which might list channels). This lack of context could lead to misuse.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_get_server_infoB
Retrieves detailed information about a Discord server including channels and member count
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| guildId | Yes |
TDQS
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 it 'retrieves' information, implying a read-only operation, but doesn't specify permissions required, rate limits, error handling, or response format. For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding how it behaves beyond basic functionality.
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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action ('Retrieves detailed information') and specifies key data included. There is no wasted language, and it directly communicates the tool's purpose without 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 moderate complexity (1 parameter, no annotations, no output schema), the description is adequate but incomplete. It covers the basic purpose and data scope, but lacks details on behavioral aspects like permissions or output structure. For a read operation with minimal structured data, it meets minimum viability but leaves room for improvement.
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 1 parameter with 0% description coverage, so the description must compensate. It implies the need for a 'guildId' by mentioning 'Discord server', but doesn't explicitly define the parameter or its format. However, with only one parameter and clear context, the description adds sufficient meaning beyond the bare schema, though not detailed syntax.
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 clearly states the verb ('Retrieves') and resource ('detailed information about a Discord server'), specifying what data is included ('channels and member count'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'discord_list_guilds' by focusing on a single server's details rather than listing all guilds. However, it doesn't explicitly contrast with other read operations like 'discord_get_forum_post', keeping it from 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.
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 doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a guildId), exclusions, or compare it to siblings like 'discord_list_guilds' for overviews or 'discord_get_forum_channels' for specific channel types. Usage is implied only by the tool's name and description, lacking explicit context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_list_guildsB
Lists all Discord servers (guilds) the bot has access to
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but offers minimal behavioral insight. It mentions 'the bot has access to' which hints at permission/scope constraints, but lacks details on rate limits, pagination, response format, or error conditions. For a read operation with zero annotation coverage, this is insufficient.
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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without redundancy. It's front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse quickly. No wasted words or unnecessary elaboration.
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 (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is adequate but minimal. It covers the basic purpose but lacks behavioral context that would help an agent understand how to interpret results or handle edge cases. For a list operation, more detail on response structure would be beneficial.
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 tool has 0 parameters with 100% schema description coverage, so the schema fully documents the absence of inputs. The description appropriately doesn't add parameter details beyond what's in the schema, maintaining alignment. Baseline for 0 parameters is 4.
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 clearly states the verb ('Lists') and resource ('Discord servers (guilds)'), specifying what the tool does. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on guild listing rather than message/channel/webhook operations, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with 'discord_get_server_info' which might have overlapping scope.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'discord_get_server_info' or other guild-related operations. The description only states what it does without context about prerequisites, timing, or comparison to sibling tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_loginC
Logs in to Discord using the configured token
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| random_string | No |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It mentions authentication but doesn't describe what 'logging in' entails operationally: whether it establishes a session, what permissions are granted, if there are rate limits, error conditions, or what happens on success/failure. For an authentication tool with zero annotation coverage, this is insufficient.
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 a single, efficient sentence that gets straight to the point with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a simple authentication tool and front-loads the core functionality.
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?
For an authentication tool with no annotations, 0% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what successful login enables, what the output looks like, error handling, or dependencies. Given the complexity of authentication and lack of structured documentation, more context is needed.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It mentions 'configured token' but doesn't explain the 'random_string' parameter at all. The description doesn't clarify if 'random_string' relates to the token, is a session identifier, or serves another purpose. With 1 undocumented parameter, the description adds minimal value beyond the schema.
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 clearly states the action ('Logs in') and target resource ('to Discord'), specifying it uses 'the configured token'. It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on authentication rather than message/channel operations. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from potential alternative login methods.
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?
No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a token configured first), when authentication is required, or what happens if already logged in. It simply states what the tool does without contextual usage information.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_read_messagesC
Retrieves messages from a Discord text channel with a configurable limit
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| channelId | Yes | ||
| limit | No |
TDQS
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 a 'configurable limit' but fails to detail critical aspects like rate limits, authentication requirements, pagination behavior, or error handling. This leaves significant gaps for a read operation in a messaging platform.
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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action ('retrieves messages') without unnecessary details. It is appropriately sized for a simple retrieval tool, with zero wasted words.
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 complexity of a Discord API tool with no annotations, no output schema, and low schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It lacks information on return values (e.g., message format), error cases, or integration context, making it insufficient for reliable agent use.
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 description adds minimal value beyond the input schema, which has 0% description coverage. It implies 'limit' controls the number of messages retrieved but does not explain 'channelId' semantics (e.g., format or source). With low schema coverage, the description partially compensates but remains inadequate for full parameter understanding.
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 clearly states the verb ('retrieves') and resource ('messages from a Discord text channel'), making the purpose evident. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'discord_get_forum_post' or 'discord_get_server_info', which also retrieve data but target different resources.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as 'discord_get_forum_post' for forum messages or 'discord_send' for sending messages. It lacks context about prerequisites (e.g., needing channel access) or exclusions, leaving usage unclear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_remove_reactionC
Removes a specific emoji reaction from a Discord message
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| channelId | Yes | ||
| messageId | Yes | ||
| emoji | Yes | ||
| userId | No |
TDQS
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 action ('Removes') but doesn't cover critical aspects like required permissions, whether it's reversible, rate limits, or what happens if the reaction doesn't exist. This leaves significant gaps for a mutation tool.
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 a single, efficient sentence with zero waste. It's front-loaded with the core action and target, making it easy to parse quickly.
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 complexity (a mutation tool with 4 parameters), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address permissions, error conditions, or return values, leaving the agent with insufficient context to use the tool effectively.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate for undocumented parameters. It mentions 'emoji' and implies 'message' (via 'Discord message'), but doesn't explain the four parameters (channelId, messageId, emoji, userId) or their formats. This fails to add meaningful context beyond the bare schema.
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 clearly states the action ('Removes') and target ('a specific emoji reaction from a Discord message'), providing a specific verb+resource combination. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like discord_delete_message, which might also remove content but at a different granularity.
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?
No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing permissions to remove reactions), exclusions, or comparisons to related tools like discord_delete_message for broader deletions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_reply_to_forumC
Adds a reply to an existing forum post or thread
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| threadId | Yes | ||
| message | Yes |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden for behavioral disclosure. It states the action ('Adds a reply') which implies a write operation, but doesn't mention permission requirements, rate limits, whether replies are editable/deletable, or what happens on success/failure. This leaves significant gaps for a mutation tool.
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 a single, efficient sentence that gets straight to the point with zero wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a tool with two parameters and no complex behavior described.
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?
For a mutation tool with no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema description coverage, the description is insufficient. It covers the basic action but lacks critical context about permissions, error conditions, return values, and parameter details needed for reliable tool invocation.
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?
With 0% schema description coverage for both parameters, the description adds no semantic information about what 'threadId' or 'message' represent. It doesn't explain threadId format (e.g., Discord snowflake), message constraints (length, formatting), or provide examples. The description fails to compensate for the complete lack of schema documentation.
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 clearly states the action ('Adds a reply') and target resource ('to an existing forum post or thread'), making the purpose immediately understandable. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like 'discord_send' or 'discord_send_webhook_message' which might also send messages in different contexts.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (like needing an existing thread), when not to use it (e.g., for initial posts), or refer to sibling tools like 'discord_create_forum_post' for creating new posts versus replying to existing ones.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_sendC
Sends a message to a specified Discord text channel
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| channelId | Yes | ||
| message | Yes |
TDQS
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 action ('sends a message') but omits critical details like required permissions (e.g., 'Send Messages' in Discord), rate limits, whether it's idempotent, or what happens on failure. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.
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 a single, efficient sentence that front-loads the core action and resource without any wasted words. It's appropriately sized for a basic send operation, making it easy to parse and understand at a glance.
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 complexity (a mutation with 2 parameters), lack of annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't cover behavioral aspects like permissions or error handling, and parameter semantics are lacking. For a Discord send operation, which involves API constraints and potential failures, this leaves the agent under-informed.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate by explaining parameters, but it adds no meaning beyond the schema. It mentions 'a specified Discord text channel' and 'message' but doesn't clarify what 'channelId' represents (e.g., numeric ID vs. name) or 'message' constraints (e.g., length, formatting). With 2 undocumented parameters, this fails to provide adequate semantic context.
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 clearly states the action ('sends a message') and target resource ('to a specified Discord text channel'), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't distinguish from siblings like 'discord_send_webhook_message' or 'discord_reply_to_forum', which would require a 5, but it's specific enough to avoid vagueness or tautology.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'discord_send_webhook_message' or 'discord_reply_to_forum', nor does it mention prerequisites such as authentication or channel permissions. It implies usage for sending messages but lacks explicit context or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer based on tool names alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
discord_send_webhook_messageC
Sends a message to a Discord channel using a webhook

| threadId | No |
TDQS
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 action ('sends a message') but lacks details on permissions required, rate limits, error handling, or what happens upon success (e.g., message ID returned). For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap in transparency.
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 a single, clear sentence with zero wasted words—it directly states the tool's function without redundancy. It's appropriately sized and front-loaded, 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.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (a mutation tool with 6 parameters, 3 required), no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema description coverage, the description is incomplete. It lacks details on behavioral traits, parameter meanings, usage context, and expected outcomes, making it inadequate for safe and effective tool invocation.
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?
Schema description coverage is 0%, so the schema provides no parameter details. The description adds no information about parameters beyond implying webhookId and webhookToken are needed (from 'using a webhook'), but it doesn't explain their purpose, format, or how to obtain them, nor does it cover optional parameters like username or threadId. This fails to compensate for the low schema coverage.
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 clearly states the action ('sends a message') and target ('to a Discord channel using a webhook'), which is specific and distinguishes it from sibling tools like discord_send (which likely uses different authentication) and discord_create_webhook (which creates rather than uses a webhook). However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from all siblings, such as discord_reply_to_forum, which might also send messages in a different context.
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 no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., needing a pre-existing webhook), compare it to discord_send (which may use bot tokens instead), or specify scenarios like sending to specific channels or threads. This leaves the agent with minimal context for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
testA
A simple test tool to verify the MCP server is working correctly
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It states the tool is 'simple' and for verification, implying it's likely read-only and safe, but doesn't explicitly confirm this or disclose any behavioral traits like side effects, permissions needed, or response format. It adds minimal context beyond the basic purpose.
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 a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's purpose without unnecessary words. It's front-loaded with the core function and appropriately sized for a simple verification tool. Every part of the sentence earns its place by clarifying intent.
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 low complexity (0 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description is complete enough for basic understanding but lacks details on what 'working correctly' means or what the verification entails. It covers the purpose adequately but could benefit from more behavioral context, especially with no annotations to provide safety information.
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?
There are 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so the description doesn't need to compensate for undocumented inputs. The baseline for 0 parameters is 4, as no parameter information is required. The description appropriately doesn't mention parameters, focusing on the tool's purpose instead.
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 clearly states the tool's purpose: 'to verify the MCP server is working correctly' with the verb 'verify' and resource 'MCP server'. It distinguishes from sibling tools which are all Discord-specific operations, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with them. The purpose is specific and actionable.
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 implies usage context ('to verify the MCP server is working') but doesn't provide explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It doesn't mention prerequisites, error conditions, or specific scenarios for invocation. The context is clear but lacks detailed when/when-not instructions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Most tools have distinct purposes targeting specific Discord resources like channels, messages, reactions, webhooks, and forum posts. However, discord_send and discord_send_webhook_message could be slightly confusing as both send messages, though they use different mechanisms. The descriptions help clarify this distinction.
All tools follow a consistent snake_case pattern with a clear discord_ prefix and descriptive verb_noun structure (e.g., discord_create_text_channel, discord_delete_message). The only exception is 'test', which is a simple utility tool and doesn't disrupt the overall pattern.
With 21 tools, the count is on the higher side for a Discord integration, bordering on heavy. While it covers many operations, some tools might be redundant or overly granular (e.g., separate add_reaction and add_multiple_reactions). A more streamlined set could improve usability without losing functionality.
The toolset provides comprehensive coverage for core Discord operations, including CRUD for channels, messages, webhooks, and forum posts, plus server info and login. Minor gaps exist, such as no tools for editing messages or managing roles, but agents can likely work around these for most common workflows.
