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 disclosure burden. It doesn't say what happens if the label doesn't exist, whether the returned state is a safe read, or what the response contains, all of which matter for an unannotated retrieval tool.
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?
It's a single front-loaded fragment with no waste, but it is under-specified rather than genuinely concise. There is room to add a clause about usage or return value without bloat.
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, and an undocumented parameter, the description is insufficient for an agent to call this confidently. It should at minimum clarify what a storageState is and how labels relate to the put/list siblings.
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 single required parameter "label" has 0% schema description coverage and the description adds no meaning beyond implying it identifies a saved session. With the schema documentation gap at 0%, the description should have clarified the label's format or source (e.g., matching browser_session_put), but does not.
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?
States a specific verb and resource ("Get a saved storageState"), which tells an agent this is a retrieval of stored browser state by label. However, it never explains what a storageState is (cookies/localStorage snapshot) and doesn't distinguish it from siblings like browser_session_list, which an agent could easily confuse with retrieval.
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 versus browser_session_list, browser_session_put, or browser_session_delete. There is no mention of prerequisites (e.g., that the label must already exist) and no exclusions, leaving the agent to infer usage entirely from the name.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
