Delete the Azure Cognitive Search index
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
No parameters | |||
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are present, and the description lacks details about behavioral traits such as permanence, required permissions, or side effects. As a destructive operation, more transparency is needed.
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 a single, well-structured sentence with no extraneous words. It is concise and front-loaded with the key action.
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 simple delete operation with no parameters or output schema, the description is minimally complete. However, it lacks context about effects or prerequisites, which would improve completeness.
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?
With no parameters, the baseline is 4. The description adds minimal but adequate meaning by specifying the operation type and target, which suffices given the absence of parameters.
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 clearly states the verb 'Delete' and the resource 'Azure Cognitive Search index', making the action unambiguous. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like index-content and search-documents.
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 provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when deletion is appropriate or prerequisites). The description only states the action without context.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
index-contentB
Index or update documents in Azure Cognitive Search
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| documents | Yes | Array of documents to index |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It only states 'Index or update' without explaining side effects, permissions, or whether documents are overwritten or merged. This is insufficient for a mutation tool.
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 a single sentence, front-loaded with purpose, and is not verbose. However, it sacrifices necessary details for brevity, missing usage and behavioral context.
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 the simple schema (1 param, no output schema) and lack of annotations, the description is too minimal. It fails to explain document handling (e.g., partial updates, conflict resolution) or the indexing process.
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%, providing a baseline of 3. The description repeats the schema's 'Array of documents to index' without adding extra meaning, such as required fields or document structure.
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 clearly states the action ('Index or update') and the resource ('documents in Azure Cognitive Search'), with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools 'delete-index' and 'search-documents' by focusing on adding/updating.
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 provided on when to use this tool versus its siblings. There is no mention of prerequisites or alternative tools for deletion or searching, leaving the agent without context for selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
search-documentsB
Search documents in Azure Cognitive Search index
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| top | No | Number of results to return (default: 5) | |
| query | Yes | The search query to execute | |
| filter | No | OData filter expression | |
| select | No | Fields to include in the results |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits like pagination, relevance scoring, access requirements, or result format.
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 a single sentence, which is concise. However, it is somewhat underspecified for a search tool.
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 no output schema and no annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not explain search behavior, result structure, or how parameters interact, leaving significant gaps for an AI agent.
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%, so baseline is 3. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema.
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 clearly states the verb (Search) and resource (documents in Azure Cognitive Search index), and distinguishes from sibling tools (delete-index, index-content) which have different purposes.
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 vs alternatives. No mention of prerequisites, limitations, or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
Tool Schema Changelog

TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a distinct operation: deleting an index, indexing content, and searching documents. No overlap in purpose.
All tools follow a consistent verb-noun pattern with hyphens (delete-index, index-content, search-documents), making them predictable.
Three tools is on the low side but covers the core search lifecycle (index, search, delete). Slightly under but reasonable for a focused MCP server.
Missing critical operations like creating an index or listing indexes. The server assumes an existing index, limiting its standalone usability.
