Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, and closed-world, so safety is covered externally. The description's only added behavioral claim is 'cryptographically secure', which is meaningful but unexplained — it doesn't say what charset or entropy source is used, or what happens when all boolean flags are omitted.
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, which is good, but the 'from freedailypro' fragment consumes part of a very short budget without informing the agent. Front-loading the tool's function is done, but the sentence is not fully earned.
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 five-parameter tool with no required params, no output schema, and zero schema description coverage, the description should at minimum explain defaults and the role of the character-class booleans. Instead it leaves the entire parameter surface and the return value undefined.
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?
All five parameters (length, numbers, symbols, lowercase, uppercase) have 0% schema description coverage, and the description supplies no parameter semantics whatsoever — no default lengths, no explanation of which character classes are on by default, no interaction rules among the booleans. The schema at least carries min/max bounds for length, but the description adds nothing.
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?
States the verb+resource (password generator) and adds the security property (cryptographically secure), but the phrase 'client and server side from freedailypro' is vendor noise that muddies rather than clarifies. It gives no help distinguishing this from siblings like estimate_password_strength, generate_uuid, or generate_random_numbers.
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?
No when-to-use guidance and no alternatives named. An agent cannot tell from this text why it should call generate_password rather than generate_random_numbers or estimate_password_strength, both of which appear in the sibling list.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
