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 disclosing behavioral traits, but it reveals nothing about side effects, return format, required permissions, or edge cases. The phrase 'Get Ad' alone is insufficient for an agent to understand the tool's behavior.
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 (two words), but this is under-specification rather than effective conciseness. It lacks essential details such as what the tool returns, the expected format, or any usage context, making it unhelpful despite being brief.
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?
The tool has no output schema, no annotations, and a description that provides almost no contextual information. Given the tool's complexity (one parameter) and the presence of many sibling tools, the description is completely inadequate for an agent to select and invoke this tool correctly.
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 100% coverage with a single parameter 'id' described as 'Ad id'. While the description itself adds no semantic meaning, the schema already documents the parameter adequately. Following the baseline rule for high schema coverage, a score of 3 is appropriate.
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 'Get Ad' is a tautology that restates the tool's name without specifying what 'ad' refers to, what platform or data source is involved, or what the tool actually does. It fails to distinguish itself from sibling tools like scrapecreators_ad_details or scrapecreators_company_ads.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description offers no context, prerequisites, or examples, leaving the agent to guess from the name and parameter.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
