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 behavioral burden, and it discloses nothing: not what a 'hallucination' verdict means, whether the result is probabilistic or deterministic, whether an external model/knowledge source is involved, or any latency/cost/auth profile. The single tag '[trust]' conveys no 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?
It is short, but this is under-specification rather than conciseness — there is no front-loaded statement of purpose, inputs, or outcome for the reader to anchor on.
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 2-parameter tool with no annotations, no output schema, and 0% schema coverage, the description should at minimum state what it returns and how 'claim'/'context' are interpreted. None of that is present, leaving the agent unable to use it reliably.
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 would need to explain 'claim' and 'context'; it says nothing. The schema's inline examples ('Water boils at 100°C at sea level', 'physics') hint at intent, but there is no statement of whether context is a domain label, expected answer, or free-text framing.
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 is essentially a restatement of the tool name: 'oracle_hallucination' → 'Hallucination oracle.' The '[trust]' prefix is a category tag, not a clarifying verb or scope statement. It does not distinguish this from siblings such as detect_contradiction, agents_contradiction, defi_oracle_verify, or inference.
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 whatsoever on when to use this tool, when not to, or which sibling to prefer for fact/claim verification. An agent must guess from the name alone.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
