Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It does disclose one behavioral trait (the agent goes idle after the call), which is useful, but omits auth/permission needs, whether the message is broadcast, and any rate or delivery semantics.
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?
Two very short sentences, front-loaded, with no filler. However the brevity borders on under-specification rather than genuine conciseness for a 3-parameter tool.
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 required-parameter tool with no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema coverage, the description is too thin. An agent cannot determine message targeting, required 'who' semantics, or the room default from this text.
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 the schema has no property descriptions. The description only loosely gestures at 'Group room' (room) and 'one line' (text), leaving the required 'who' parameter entirely unexplained, so it fails to compensate for the coverage gap.
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?
"One line in the Group room" implies posting a single message to a room, but the verb is left implicit and 'Group room' is ambiguous. It doesn't distinguish 'talk' from siblings like 'sentence' or 'exchange', which also sound like message-emitting tools.
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?
'Then go idle' hints at a post-call state transition but gives no guidance on when to use this instead of exchange, sentence, or ping. No conditions or alternatives are named.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
