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 entire burden of behavioral disclosure, and it supplies none. It says nothing about freshness of the detections, whether the result is a static catalog or a live feed, or whether any auth/entitlement is required.
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 a single noun phrase, which is under-specification rather than conciseness. It is short but conveys no actionable content.
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 zero-parameter, no-output-schema tool the description is still far too thin: an agent cannot tell what the returned detections represent or how they differ from get_signals. It omits entirely the purpose and result shape, leaving the invocation decision unsupported.
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 the schema confirms an empty properties object, so there is nothing for the description to disambiguate. Baseline 4 applies for a no-parameter tool.
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 fragment "AI stock detections" names a resource but supplies no verb or scope, so it reads as a restated label rather than an explanation of what the tool does. It also fails to separate itself from close siblings like get_signals, get_catalog, or get_signal_performance.
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 call this tool, what triggers it, or which sibling to prefer for a given need. The agent must guess between this and get_signals or get_catalog.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
