# README Validation Issues
**Date:** 2025-12-16
**Validated by:** HivemindMinion
## Summary
Tested README example prompts against the current MCP server state.
**Test Results:** 9 OK, 0 WARN, 1 ERROR (test script bug, not tool bug)
---
## Issues Found
### 1. README Tool Count Outdated
**Location:** README.md line 3, line 158
**Current text:** "26 MCP tools" / "Available Tools (26 Registered)"
**Actual count:** 32 registered tools
**Missing from README:**
- `inspect_mod` - Get complete mod details by ID
- `list_all_mods` - List mods with filtering
- `search_mods_by_stat` - Search mods by keyword
- `get_mod_tiers` - Show all tiers in a mod family
- `validate_item_mods` - Validate mod combinations
- `get_available_mods` - List mods by generation type
**Fix:** Update README to document all 32 tools and add a new "Item Mod Data" section to the Available Tools table.
---
### 2. README Architecture Section Outdated
**Location:** README.md lines 271-301
**Issue:** Architecture diagram doesn't reflect current codebase structure
**Missing directories/files:**
- `src/data/` - Data providers (mod_data_provider.py, fresh_data_provider.py)
- `src/parsers/specifications/` - Datc64 specifications
- `src/knowledge/` - Game mechanics knowledge base
- `data/poe2_mods_extracted.json` - 14,269 extracted mods
- `data/complete_models/` - Complete skill/support/passive data
**Fix:** Update architecture diagram to reflect current structure.
---
### 3. README Database Stats Outdated
**Location:** README.md lines 260-268
**Current text:** "4,975+ passive tree nodes"
**Issue:** Should also mention mod database size
**Fix:** Add mod database statistics:
- 14,269 item modifiers
- 2,252 prefixes, 2,037 suffixes, 8,930 implicits, 120 corrupted
---
### 4. Key Files Section Outdated
**Location:** README.md lines 319-324
**Issue:** Missing key files that are now important
**Missing entries:**
- `src/data/mod_data_provider.py` - Mod data access layer
- `src/parsers/specifications/mods_spec.py` - Mod binary format spec
- `data/poe2_mods_extracted.json` - Extracted mod database
---
### 5. Example Prompts Could Be Expanded
**Location:** README.md lines 220-240
**Issue:** No example prompts for the new mod tools
**Suggested additions:**
- "What prefixes can roll on a level 83 item?" (uses `get_available_mods`)
- "Show me all tiers of the Strength mod" (uses `get_mod_tiers`)
- "Can these mods exist together: Strength1, Strength2?" (uses `validate_item_mods`)
- "Search for fire resistance mods" (uses `search_mods_by_stat`)

## Tools That Passed Testing
| Tool | Status | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| `analyze_character` | OK | Works with poe.ninja data |
| `validate_support_combination` | OK | Correctly detects conflicts |
| `list_all_supports` | OK | Tag filtering works |
| `list_all_keystones` | OK | Returns full list |
| `inspect_keystone` | OK | Works with `keystone_name` param |
| `explain_mechanic` | OK | Armor explanation works |
| `inspect_support_gem` | OK | Returns gem data |
| `inspect_spell_gem` | OK | Returns spell data |
| `list_all_base_items` | OK | Item class filtering works |
| `health_check` | OK | Server status reported |
---
## Tools Not Tested (require external dependencies)
| Tool | Reason |
|------|--------|
| `import_poe_ninja_url` | Requires valid poe.ninja URL |
| `compare_to_top_players` | Requires network access to poe.ninja |
| `search_trade_items` | Requires trade site authentication |
| `setup_trade_auth` | Interactive browser session required |
| `import_pob` | Requires valid PoB code |
| `export_pob` | Requires character data first |
---
## Recommended Priority for Fixes
1. **HIGH:** Update tool count (26 -> 32) in README
2. **MEDIUM:** Add Mod Data section to Available Tools table
3. **MEDIUM:** Update architecture diagram
4. **LOW:** Add example prompts for mod tools
5. **LOW:** Update database statistics
---
## Notes
- All core validation tools work correctly
- The `inspect_keystone` "error" in testing was due to test script using wrong parameter name (`name` instead of `keystone_name`)
- Server initialization is slow (~10 seconds) due to loading multiple data sources
- New mod tools (6 total) are fully functional but undocumented in README
