Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. It adds useful matching semantics (exact, case-insensitive), but says nothing about how many rows come back, ordering, result limits, or empty-match behavior for what is implicitly a read operation.
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?
A single sentence with no waste, front-loading the returned resource. It is efficient, though the relative clause makes the filter condition slightly harder to scan than a direct imperative.
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 simple two-parameter read tool with no output schema, the definition states what is returned at a high level but omits the return shape, cardinality, and any limits. Adequate but with clear gaps an agent would want before calling.
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 maps 'a column' and 'a value' to the two required parameters, which is genuinely useful. However, it gives no column-name format, no guidance on reserved/pseudo columns, and no example 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?
Names a specific verb (returns rows) and resource (Equipment Rental Compare dataset) with the filter condition. It is distinguishable from dataset_search/dataset_stats in spirit, but it never names a sibling, so sibling differentiation is left to inference.
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 'equals a value exactly (case-insensitive)' phrasing implies this is for exact-key lookup rather than fuzzy/text search, but there is no explicit when-to-use statement and no mention of dataset_search as the alternative for non-exact matching.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
