Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, and the description is consistent with those. It adds some useful context about the response contents (version, health stats, changelog), but does not mention pagination, ordering, or any operational quirks. No contradiction with 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?
The description is a single efficient sentence with no filler. The action and key output details are front-loaded, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.
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, read-only, idempotent list tool with no output schema, the description gives enough to invoke it correctly: what is listed and what fields are returned. There are no serious gaps for this level of complexity.
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 input schema has zero parameters, so there are no parameter semantics to document. The description focuses on the output instead, which is appropriate for a parameterless list operation. This aligns with the baseline for 0-param tools.
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 uses a specific verb ('List'), names the exact resource ('your stored parser presets'), and states the included fields (version, health stats, changelog). This makes the tool's purpose immediately clear and distinguishes it from other parser-related siblings.
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?
The description implies this tool should be used for getting an inventory/overview of stored presets, but it does not explicitly state when it should be used over alternatives like parser_preset_stats or save_parser_preset. This is acceptable but leaves routing to inference.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Add one secure layer between your agents and this server.
Each tool targets a distinct resource or action: single scrape, batch scrape, crawl, search, dataset creation, parser lifecycle, proxy management, and SEO audit. Even the five status pollers are clearly differentiated by job type and their descriptions explicitly state which job they poll, so an agent can reliably select the right tool.
Most names follow a verb-first pattern (create_dataset, generate_parser, run_collector, save_parser_preset, whitelist_ip) and listing tools consistently use the 'list_' prefix. However, a few are noun-first (parser_preset_stats, proxy_locations, collector_run_status) and the status polling tool for collectors breaks the otherwise consistent '<job>_status' convention ('collector_run_status' instead of 'run_collector_status').
At 25 tools, the set is at the upper edge of the 'heavy' range. The tools all serve distinct functions, reflecting a broad platform covering scraping, crawling, search, datasets, parsers, proxies, and SEO, but the count borders on overwhelming for an agent, and some consolidation (e.g., a generic async job status endpoint) could reduce the surface.
The tool surface covers the core data-extraction lifecycle well: discovery (map, search), acquisition (scrape, batch, crawl), structured extraction (generate_parser, save_parser_preset, parser stats/heal), proxy management, and result aggregation (datasets, collectors). Notable gaps are the absence of any cancellation/abort mechanism for long-running async jobs and no way to delete a parser preset, but these are minor for most workflows.
