See which tools your agents call, how often, and when, so you can understand usage patterns and catch anomalies.
Tool Definition Quality
Average 4.9/5 across 1 of 1 tools scored.
With only one tool, there is no risk of confusion between tools. The single 'search' tool is clearly distinct by default.
The sole tool is named 'search', a concise verb. Since there is only one tool, naming consistency is inherently perfect.
A single tool is borderline thin for a server named 'OctoTrip Flights'. While it serves the core search function, typical flight-related MCP servers have at least a few more tools (e.g., get_airports, get_flight_details).
The server only offers flight search. Missing are other common operations like retrieving flight details, booking, or managing itineraries. For a 'Flights' server, the surface is notably incomplete.
Available Tools
1 toolsearchARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Searches live flight offers between an origin and destination for given travel dates. Supports one-way (omit return_date) and round-trip searches with flexible passenger counts and cabin class. Use this when the user wants to compare available flights, airlines, prices, layovers, or booking links for a specific route. Do not use it for rental cars, hotels, trains, or general travel planning unless the user has flight-search intent. The tool queries external flight aggregator APIs in real time, returns price-ranked results grouped by number of stops, and includes affiliate booking links. Results and booking links are valid for approximately 15 minutes due to real-time airline pricing. It does not book flights, modify reservations, charge users, or store user data.

Tool Definition Quality
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations include readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false. The description adds context: real-time external API queries, results grouped by stops, affiliate links, 15-minute validity, and states it does not book, modify, charge, or store data. No contradiction.
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?
Four sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then usage guidelines, then behavioral details and limitations. Every sentence adds value, no 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 complexity (10 params, output schema present), the description covers when to use, real-time behavior, result validity, and what it does not do. No missing critical context.
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 covers 100% of parameters. Description explains the purpose of return_date omission for one-way and that departure_date accepts natural language, adding 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 'Searches live flight offers between an origin and destination for given travel dates' with specific details on one-way/round-trip, passenger counts, and cabin class. It distinguishes from non-flight services by saying 'Do not use it for rental cars, hotels, trains, or general travel planning.'
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?
Explicit when-to-use: 'when the user wants to compare available flights, airlines, prices, layovers, or booking links for a specific route.' Explicit when-not-to-use: 'Do not use it for rental cars, hotels, trains, or general travel planning unless the user has flight-search intent.'
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
