Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description usefully adds that search is scoped to the owner's calendar and that results include notes and recent appointments, but it omits ambiguous-match handling, what 'recent' means, and any result limits.
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 front-loaded sentence with no filler, leading with the action and search keys. Slightly dense but every clause 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 one-parameter read tool with no output schema, the description covers scope, keys, and return contents, and annotations cover the safety profile. Minor gap around multiple-match behavior, but adequate overall.
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 coverage is 0% and there is one parameter, so the description must carry the burden. It adds real meaning by stating the query accepts a name or phone number, but gives no format detail (e.g. digit-only vs formatted phone), so it partially compensates rather than fully.
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 a specific verb (Find), resource (client), scope (on the owner's calendar), lookup keys (name or phone number), and the return content (notes and recent appointments). No sibling tool performs client lookup, so there is nothing to confuse it with.
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?
Usage is implied by the lookup framing, but there is no explicit when-to-use guidance and no alternatives are named. Nothing tells the agent when this is the right call versus, say, browsing appointments directly.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
