Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is fully covered by structured data. The description adds nothing behavioral beyond that — 'client and server side from freedailypro' is meaningless marketing text, not context such as return format, rounding, or precision behavior.
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?
The tool is a one-liner, but roughly half of it ('client and server side from freedailypro') is irrelevant noise that does not earn its place. The useful content is a bare restatement of the name rather than front-loaded specifics.
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, read-only conversion tool with no output schema and enum-constrained inputs, an agent can likely invoke it correctly from the name and schema alone. Still, the description omits what the tool returns and any precision behavior, leaving the definition minimally adequate rather than complete.
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% for three required parameters, and the description does not compensate: it never mentions 'value', 'from', or 'to'. The from/to enums (kg, g, mg, lb, oz) do carry the unit vocabulary, but nothing explains whether value must be positive or how the result is expressed.
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 phrase 'Unit converter (weight)' does convey the verb and resource, so an agent can tell it converts weight units. However, it is vague about specifics and offers no differentiation from siblings like convert_length, convert_temperature, or convert_currency. The trailing 'client and server side from freedailypro' is vendor noise that adds no selection signal.
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 guidance on when to use this tool, nor any named alternative among the many sibling converters. The agent must infer usage entirely from the name and schema enums.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
