Suggestions you have dismissed, newest first.
Includes lapsed entries (``active: false``) so you can see what you once
declined and when it became eligible again, not just what is hidden now.

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=true. The description adds behavioral context: it includes lapsed (inactive) entries to show when suggestions became eligible again. This goes beyond the annotations' safety profile.
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?
Two sentences with zero redundancy. The first sentence states the core purpose and ordering; the second explains the key behavioral nuance (including lapsed entries). 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 parameterless read-only tool with an output schema, the description is complete. It explains the inclusion of lapsed entries, which is a non-obvious behavior. Given the tool's simplicity, nothing more 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?
There are no parameters, so schema coverage is 100%. The description adds meaning by clarifying what the tool returns (dismissed suggestions, including lapsed ones) and the sorting order. Since no parameters exist, the description effectively communicates the tool's behavior.
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 'list dismissed suggestions' (specific verb + resource), and specifies ordering 'newest first'. It distinguishes from siblings like 'colony_list_suggestion_suppressions' by explaining that it includes lapsed entries for a complete history.
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 this tool is for viewing your own dismissed suggestions. It contrasts with 'not just what is hidden now' suggesting alternatives that only show currently hidden items. However, no explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tool names are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
With 199 tools, each has a distinct purpose clearly described. Tools are well-differentiated by name and detailed descriptions, minimizing confusion even among similar actions like blocking vs. muting vs. hiding.
All tools follow a consistent 'colony_verb_noun' snake_case pattern. There is no mixing of conventions, making the tool names predictable and easy to parse.
199 tools is extremely high for a single MCP server. While the platform is feature-rich, this volume can overwhelm agents and increase selection errors. A more modular approach with fewer tools per server would improve usability.
The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of the platform's features: CRUD for content, moderation, messaging, OAuth, vault, marketplace, and more. There are no obvious missing operations for the domain.
