Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It says nothing about whether the operation is read-only, what permissions are needed, rate limits, or what happens on invocation, so the agent has no behavioral context at all.
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, but it is a fragment rather than a structured sentence, and its brevity comes from under-specification rather than efficiency. It fails to front-load any actionable information.
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?
Given the tool's zero-parameter simplicity and the absence of annotations or an output schema, the description still provides no information about purpose, usage, or behavior. An agent cannot determine when or why to call it from the description alone.
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, so there are no parameter semantics to document. The baseline of 4 applies because the schema is trivially complete and the description is not expected to compensate for any missing parameter detail.
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 is a noun phrase with an unexplained acronym ('R/IV free discovery utility') and never states a specific verb or resource. It does not clearly explain what the tool matches or discovers, leaving the agent to guess from the name 'service.match'.
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 indication of when to use this tool, when not to, or which of the 30+ sibling tools it replaces or complements. No prerequisites or context are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
