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 must carry the full behavioral burden. 'Deterministic static' usefully signals no side effects and repeatable output, and 'public URL' plus 'non-sensitive' implies safety constraints. However, it does not state that this is a read-only operation, doesn't describe what a result looks like (no output schema exists), and doesn't say whether checks can fail-partial or time out.
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 well-formed sentence with no filler. However, it is so terse that it omits essential information; brevity is achieved partly through under-specification rather than economy.
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 no annotations, no output schema, three undocumented parameters (0% coverage), and a nested 'document' object, the description is too thin for the task. It omits what protocols are checked, what the result contains, and what constraints apply to the document input. The title carries information the description should contain.
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%, so the description must compensate but does not. It references 'URL' and 'JSON document' generically, but says nothing about the 'kind' parameter or its auto/a2a/mcp/openapi enum, which is the single most important invocation hint here. All three parameters are effectively undocumented beyond their type.
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 names an action ('Run deterministic static checks') and a target ('one public URL or supplied non-sensitive JSON document'), but it obscures the actual purpose. The title is far more informative, identifying it as an MCP/A2A/OpenAPI compatibility check. The description never states what is being checked for or that this evaluates protocol compatibility, which is the core resource. It separates itself from siblings only by implication (they are task/offer tools), not by explicit differentiation.
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?
No guidance on when to use this tool versus the sibling tools, nor when one should prefer URL input over document input. The 'non-sensitive' qualifier hints at a constraint but is not framed as usage guidance. An agent has to infer the entire use case from the title.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
