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=true, but the description adds behaviorally significant context: the pack has a generated_at timestamp, a 24h validity window, and a 'not financial advice' disclaimer. This tells the agent that the content is time-bound and advisory-constrained, which is more than the annotations alone convey.
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 short and front-loaded, which is good, but it relies on cryptic shorthand ('pack-100 + generated_at + 24h validity window') and does not earn its space with a plain statement of purpose. It is concise in length but not in clarity.
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?
Even though the tool is simple (one optional parameter) and annotations cover safety, the overall description is incomplete: an agent still cannot tell what the returned pack is used for, what the price reflects, or how the format parameter changes behavior. The provided bits—price, disclaimer, validity—do not make the tool callable with confidence.
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 does not mention the only parameter, format, at all. The schema provides just an enum (json/html) with no explanation, and the description does not compensate by saying how format changes the result or which one is expected. The agent gets no help on this parameter.
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 contains no verb and reads like a product spec rather than a tool action: 'Day retainer desk pack: pack-100 + generated_at + 24h validity window + disclaimer.' It names a resource but not what the tool does with it, leaving the agent to guess whether it fetches, constructs, or lists this pack.
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?
There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus its siblings desk_pack_100, desk_pack_50, or any other tool. The word 'Day' implies a time-based variant, but the description never contrasts it with alternatives or states a preferred use case.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
