# StockSpark MCP Tool Naming Review ## Summary Total tools analyzed: 35 tools across 8 files ## Tool Names by Category ### Vehicle Tools (5 tools) 1. `add_vehicle` ✅ 2. `get_vehicle` ✅ 3. `list_vehicles` ✅ 4. `update_vehicle_price` ✅ 5. `update_vehicle` ✅ ### Image Tools (4 tools) 1. `upload_vehicle_images` ✅ 2. `get_vehicle_images` ✅ 3. `delete_vehicle_image` ✅ 4. `set_main_image` ✅ ### Reference Tools (8 tools) 1. `search_vehicle_specs` ✅ 2. `compare_vehicle_options` ✅ 3. `get_vehicle_template` ✅ 4. `get_vehicle_makes` ✅ 5. `get_vehicle_models` ✅ 6. `get_vehicle_trims` ✅ 7. `get_transmission_types` ✅ 8. `get_vehicle_bodies` ✅ 9. `get_vehicle_fuels` ✅ 10. `get_vehicle_colors` ✅ ### Organization Tools (5 tools) 1. `get_user_context` ✅ 2. `list_user_companies` ✅ 3. `select_company` ✅ 4. `list_company_dealers` ✅ 5. `select_dealer` ✅ ### Analytics Tools (4 tools) 1. `get_underperforming_vehicles` ✅ 2. `apply_bulk_discount` ✅ 3. `analyze_inventory_health` ✅ 4. `get_pricing_recommendations` ✅ ### Leads Tools (2 tools) 1. `get_vehicle_leads` ✅ 2. `analyze_lead_trends` ✅ ### Publish Tools (4 tools) 1. `publish_vehicle` ✅ 2. `unpublish_vehicle` ✅ 3. `get_publication_status` ✅ 4. `list_available_portals` ✅ ### Performance Tools (1 tool) 1. `get_mcp_performance` ✅ ## Naming Consistency Analysis ### ✅ Consistent Patterns Found: 1. **Category_action format**: All tools follow the underscore convention 2. **Action verbs**: Consistently use `get`, `list`, `add`, `update`, `delete`, `set`, `analyze`, `apply` 3. **Noun consistency**: Generally good with some minor issues ### 🔍 Minor Inconsistencies: 1. **Singular vs Plural Usage**: - `list_vehicles` (plural) vs `add_vehicle` (singular) - This is actually correct! List operations return multiple items, single operations use singular - `get_vehicle_leads` (plural) - Correct, returns multiple leads - `list_available_portals` (plural) - Correct, returns multiple portals 2. **Verb Consistency**: - `search_vehicle_specs` uses "search" instead of "get" or "list" - This is intentional as it's a progressive/smart search - `compare_vehicle_options` uses "compare" - Appropriate for the comparison functionality 3. **Prefix Consistency**: - Most vehicle-related tools use `vehicle_` prefix consistently - `get_transmission_types` doesn't have `vehicle_` prefix (minor inconsistency) - `set_main_image` doesn't have `vehicle_` prefix (should be `set_vehicle_main_image` for consistency) 4. **User/Company Context**: - `get_user_context` and `list_user_companies` use "user" prefix - `list_company_dealers` switches to "company" prefix - This is semantically correct but could be more consistent ## Recommendations for Improvement ### High Priority (Breaking Changes): None - The naming is generally very good and follows MCP conventions well. ### Low Priority (Non-Breaking Improvements): 1. Consider renaming `set_main_image` to `set_vehicle_main_image` for consistency 2. Consider adding `vehicle_` prefix to `get_transmission_types` → `get_vehicle_transmission_types` ### Best Practices Followed ✅: 1. **Clear action-oriented names**: Every tool clearly indicates what it does 2. **Consistent underscore convention**: All tools use snake_case 3. **No ambiguous names**: Each tool has a distinct, unambiguous purpose 4. **Category grouping**: Tools are well-organized by domain 5. **Verb-first pattern**: Most tools follow the verb_noun pattern appropriately ## MCP Best Practices Compliance ### ✅ Compliant: - Clear, descriptive names - Consistent naming convention (snake_case) - Action-oriented (verb_noun pattern) - No special characters or spaces - Names match their functionality ### ✅ Additional Strengths: - Excellent use of prefixes for grouping related functionality - Good balance between brevity and clarity - Consistent parameter naming in schemas - Well-documented tool descriptions ## Conclusion The StockSpark MCP server demonstrates **excellent naming consistency** with only minor areas for potential improvement. The tool names are: - Clear and intuitive - Follow established patterns - Comply with MCP best practices - Easy to discover and understand The naming convention makes it easy for users to: 1. Discover related tools (via consistent prefixes) 2. Understand tool purpose from the name alone 3. Remember and use tools effectively **Overall Grade: A** - Exemplary naming consistency with only minor refinements possible.
