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 of behavioral disclosure. It says nothing about whether the search is read-only, what inputs affect behavior, whether it hits an external API, or what the response looks like. The description offers no behavioral information beyond the tool's name.
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, but that brevity is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. It has no front-loaded useful content and provides no structured information that helps an agent act.
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 four undocumented parameters, no annotations, no output schema, and sibling tools that are not differentiated, the description is far too sparse to support correct invocation. An agent cannot determine valid values, required context, or expected results.
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 mentions none of the four parameters (guests, checkin, checkout, location). The agent receives no explanation of formats, constraints, or how these fields combine, so parameter semantics are entirely undocumented.
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 'V1 Airbnb Search' is essentially a restatement of the tool name 'airbnb_search'. It gives no indication of what the search returns, what scope it covers, or how it differs from siblings like airbnb_calendar and airbnb_details.
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 airbnb_calendar or airbnb_details. The description provides no context, exclusions, or alternative routing, leaving the agent to guess which tool fits the user's intent.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
