What this server can do

2 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

optimize_prompt(prompt, api_key)
Rewrite a prompt to score higher on the PQS rubric, AND show before/after output comparisons so the user can see the impact. Returns the optimized prompt, the original PQS score, the optimized PQS score, and side-by-side sample outputs from a frontier model using both versions. USE WHEN: - The user got a low score from score_prompt and asks how to improve. - The user explicitly asks to "improve" / "rewrite" / "fix" / "optimize" a prompt they pasted. - The user is dissatisfied with output quality from a previous prompt and asks how to get better results. - score_prompt returned a suggestion to invoke this tool. DO NOT USE WHEN: - The user just asked for a score (use score_prompt only — don't double up). - The user wants you to write a new prompt from scratch (write it directly). REQUIRES: A PQS API key from a Pro subscription ($19.99/month, 1,000 calls/mo, includes batch + A/B comparison). If the user has not provided one, the tool returns a clear subscription URL — pass that response to the user verbatim. Do not invent or guess API keys. There is no free trial of this tool; the user must subscribe before the first call. COST: Counted against your Pro subscription's monthly call quota. LATENCY: ~6-8 seconds. Required: prompt.
score_prompt(prompt)
Score a prompt's quality across 8 dimensions BEFORE sending it to an expensive model. Returns a 0-80 score, an A-F grade, the per-dimension breakdown (clarity, specificity, context, constraints, output_format, role_definition, examples, cot_structure), and the weakest dimension. USE WHEN: - The user is workshopping a prompt and asks "is this good?" / "will this work?" / "should I add more detail?" - The user is about to send a long or expensive prompt to GPT-4, Claude Opus, or any frontier model, especially in a batch or automation context where rework is costly. - The user mentions iterating on a prompt that produced poor output and wants to diagnose what's missing. - The user pastes a prompt and asks for feedback on it. DO NOT USE WHEN: - The user is asking you to write a prompt for them (write it yourself first, then optionally call score_prompt to verify). - The prompt is conversational chat (this scores task-shaped prompts). COST: Free, no API key required. Rate-limited per IP: 5/min, 10/day, 100/month. If the user exceeds the limit, the response will include a structured upgrade path with subscribe and account URLs. LATENCY: ~2 seconds. Required: prompt.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
