Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world behavior, so the safety profile is fully covered. The only added context is the word 'current', which implies the result depends on the authenticated caller's session rather than a supplied identifier — a useful but slight hint beyond the annotations.
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 short sentence with the verb and resource front-loaded and no wasted clauses. The only quibble is the filler word 'details', which conveys nothing specific.
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 trivial no-arg read this is the minimum viable text, and the annotations carry the safety profile. However, no output schema exists, so the description is the only place that could indicate what user fields come back, and it says only 'details' — an agent cannot predict the payload shape.
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?
The tool takes zero parameters and schema coverage is 100%, so there is nothing for the description to clarify. This is the baseline for a no-parameter tool; no parameter meaning is missing.
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?
Names a specific verb and resource ('Fetch the current user details'), and the 'current user' scoping makes it unambiguous even without sibling differentiation — no other sibling operates on users. It stops short of 5 only because it never contrasts itself with related lookups like organizations_get_details or system_get_context.
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 when-to-use guidance, no stated prerequisites, and no named alternative. The use case is simple enough to be inferred, but the description provides no routing signal at all.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
