Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, and the description offers no behavioral context such as authentication requirements, rate limits, pagination, or response format. The single word 'Posts' adds zero transparency beyond what the name already implies.
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?
One word is technically concise, but it is under-specification rather than thoughtful brevity. A useful description would need at least a verb and object phrase, so the minimalism fails to earn its place.
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 only the single word 'Posts', no output schema, and no annotations, the description is wholly inadequate. An agent has no way to know what this tool returns, how it behaves, or how to choose it over the numerous sibling tools.
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 100%, with both 'handle' and 'trim' having explicit descriptions. The tool description itself adds no parameter semantics, but the schema carries the full burden, so a baseline score of 3 is appropriate per the rubric.
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?
Description is simply 'Posts', which repeats the tool name and provides no verb or resource context. It does not state what action is performed, what data is returned, or how it differs from the many sibling scrapecreators_* post-related tools.
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 is given on when to use this tool vs alternatives like scrapecreators_posts_get, scrapecreators_profile_posts, or scrapecreators_user_posts. There is no mention of prerequisites, filters, or intended use cases.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
