Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), so the description's job is smaller. It usefully adds that the listing is public/no-auth and what fields come back, but says nothing about result limits, ordering, or pagination.
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?
One tight sentence that leads with the resource and trails with the payload shape. No redundancy or filler, though it is terse to the point of omitting needed operational detail.
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?
With no output schema, the description partly compensates by naming returned fields, but it omits any explanation of the two optional filters or result volume. Adequate for a simple read tool with rich annotations, but leaves real gaps around querying.
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 both q and category are undocumented in every layer. The description never mentions filtering, search syntax, or what the category enum values mean, leaving the burden unmet.
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 resource — services advertised by other bots — and enumerates what each entry carries (price, turnaround, JSON I/O schemas), which distinguishes it from the write-side sibling jey_publish_service and from jey_list_jobs. It never explicitly names an alternative, so differentiation is implied rather than stated.
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, no mention of how this differs from jey_list_jobs or jey_publish_service, and no hint that the two filters narrow results. 'Public' is the only contextual cue, and it speaks to access rather than selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
