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 must convey behavioral traits. It says only 'Sentiment analysis', omitting output format (score vs label), supported languages, performance, or any side effects. It provides no behavioral transparency.
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 plus a bracket) and under-specified rather than concise. It omits necessary information while the '[inference]' prefix does not 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?
Given a simple tool with one input and no output schema, the description is incomplete: it does not describe what the tool returns (e.g., sentiment label, score, or confidence), nor how to interpret results. With no annotations and no output schema, the description should do more.
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% and the single parameter 'text' has only an example in the schema. The description does not mention the parameter or add any meaning. The parameter is trivial and the example gives minimal semantics, but the description fails to compensate for the low coverage.
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 essentially a restatement of the tool name, 'text_sentiment' -> 'Sentiment analysis'. It does not specify the operation or distinguish from sibling tools like text_summarize or inference. The '[inference]' prefix adds no clarifying value.
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 tool versus alternatives such as text_summarize or generic inference, nor any prerequisites or exclusions. The description gives no context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
