Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations are completely absent, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It reveals nothing about whether the tool performs a lookup, validates a record, or is read-only. There is no contradiction, but there is also zero behavioral information.
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 description is extremely short and front-loaded, but that brevity is under-specification rather than purposeful conciseness. It does not form a complete functional sentence and omits all 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?
For a single-parameter tool with no annotations and no parameter documentation, this description is grossly incomplete. It provides the agent with no basis for invoking the tool correctly, even though an output schema exists.
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%, and the description never mentions the 'q' parameter or what kind of input it expects. The agent has no way to know whether to provide a domain, a raw record, or something else.
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 description expands the acronym 'BIMI' but does not state a verb or explicit action; it reads as a label ('Brand-indicator (logo) DNS record') rather than a tool function. It does not help differentiate this tool from DNS siblings like dnsquery, dnsmx, or dnssec, each of which is equally under-defined here.
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 guidance is given on when to choose this tool over the many DNS-related siblings, nor are any exclusions or preconditions stated. The only implied usage is the niche domain name, but that is not made actionable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
