Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds nothing beyond that, and "client and server side" is ambiguous rather than informative. It does not contradict the annotations, but it also does not disclose anything they don't already say.
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?
It is a single short sentence and front-loaded with the tool's subject, so it is not bloated. However, half of it ("client and server side from freedailypro") is noise that does not earn 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 simple two-parameter calculator with no output schema, the description should state what result comes back (margin percentage vs. absolute profit) and whether inputs are absolute or per-unit figures. Instead the agent has no idea what the return value represents or how to interpret it.
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 cost and price are documented nowhere. The description never mentions either parameter, its unit, or expected currency/magnitude, leaving the agent to guess what goes into the two required numbers.
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?
"Product margin calculator" essentially restates the tool name, and the trailing "client and server side from freedailypro" is vendor noise that adds no operational meaning. It never distinguishes this from the sibling business_profit_margin, which an agent could easily pick instead.
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?
There is no indication of when to use this versus business_profit_margin, business_break_even, or business_marketplace_fee, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. The agent must infer the use case entirely from the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
