Decodo MCP Server

Install MCP Server

Connect LLMs and AI agents to live web data using MCP (Model Context Protocol). The Decodo MCP Server lets you scrape websites, search engines, eCommerce platforms, and social media directly from AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf, all without the need to build scraping infrastructure from scratch.

  • Structured outputs in JSON, Markdown, and screenshots

  • Server-side JavaScript rendering and anti-bot handling

  • 125M+ IPs across 195+ locations

What is Decodo MCP server?

The Decodo MCP Server is a web scraping layer for AI agents. It connects MCP-compatible clients to Decodo's Web Scraping API, enabling:

  • Web scraping for LLMs

  • Real-time data retrieval for RAG

  • AI agent browsing and research

  • Structured data extraction from dynamic websites

Instead of maintaining proxies, parsers, and retry logic, you get a single integration point for reliable web data access.

Why use MCP for web scraping?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the emerging standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and data sources. With MCP:

  • Agents can call tools dynamically

  • Integrations stay standardized

  • Workflows scale across environments

The Decodo MCP Server gives your agents reliable, production-ready web access through this standard.

Key features

Web scraping for AI agents, no infrastructure required. Scrape any website, including JavaScript-heavy pages, without handling proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, or anti-bot systems.

Structured outputs for LLM workflows. Markdown (LLM-ready), JSON (for structured pipelines), and screenshots (for visual context), built for RAG pipelines, AI research agents, and automation flows.

Built-in support for popular targets. Ready-made tools for Google and Bing (SERPs), Amazon, Walmart, and Target (eCommerce), Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube (social media), and ChatGPT and Perplexity (AI search).

Global proxy infrastructure. 125M+ residential IPs, 195+ geo-locations, and a 99.99% success rate on even the most protected targets.

Modular MCP toolsets. Enable only what you need: web, search, ecommerce, social_media, ai for cleaner tool selection and better agent performance.

Fast time to value. From API key to first scrape in minutes, no setup overhead.

Use cases

Use the Decodo MCP Server when you need web scraping for AI agents, structured data extraction at scale, reliable access to dynamic websites, real-time data for RAG, or an alternative to building scraping infrastructure from scratch. Common scenarios:

  • AI-powered web scraping – give LLMs the ability to collect fresh data instead of relying on static training data.

  • RAG with live data – pull real-time Google, Bing, and AI search results into retrieval pipelines.

  • eCommerce intelligence – track product prices, listings, and sellers across marketplaces without getting blocked.

  • Social media data collection – gather posts, channels, and engagement data from Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube.

  • Travel and price aggregation – build tools that collect live pricing and availability across websites.

Examples

Scraping geo-restricted content

Query your AI agent with the following prompt:

Scrape peacock.com from a German IP address and tell me the pricing.

This prompt will say that peacock.com is geo-restricted. To bypass the geo-restriction:

Scrape peacock.com from a US IP address and tell me the pricing.

Limiting number of response tokens

If your agent has a small context window, the content returned from scraping will be automatically truncated, in order to avoid context-overflow. You can increase the number of tokens returned within your prompt:

Scrape hacker news, return 50k tokens.

If your agent has a big context window, tell it to return full content:

Scrape hacker news, return full content.

Use with Decodo agent skills

This server gives your agent the scraping tools. Decodo/agent-skills teaches it when to reach for them, which surface to use, and how to call it — so the agent picks the right tool and parameters on its own instead of guessing.

The skills route across the decodo CLI, this hosted MCP server, and the raw HTTP API, and fall back to the MCP server automatically when no shell is available. Pairing the two gives your agent both the execution layer (this server) and the decision layer (the skills) in a single setup.

Quick start (Claude Code):

/plugin marketplace add Decodo/agent-skills
/plugin install decodo@decodo-skills

See the agent-skills README for manual install and other agents (Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf).

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, but the description adds minimal behavioral details beyond 'automatic parsing.' It does not explain parsing behavior, rate limits, or pagination mechanics, leaving significant gaps.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the core action, but it could include more detail without becoming lengthy. It is front-loaded but slightly too terse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a scraping tool with four parameters and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not describe return values, pagination behavior, or potential issues, making it hard for an agent to anticipate outcomes.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

All four parameters have descriptions in the schema (100% coverage). The description does not add any extra meaning or clarify parameter usage beyond what the schema already provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's action ('Scrape Amazon Bestsellers list') and resource, and it is distinct from sibling tools like amazon_search or amazon_product, which focus on different aspects.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as amazon_search or amazon_product. The description omits context about suitable scenarios or when to avoid using it.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, which cover the read-only and dynamic nature. The description adds no additional behavioral context such as rate limits, error handling, or parsing specifics.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single sentence that is efficient and contains no extraneous information, making it easy to read and understand.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has six parameters, no output schema, and numerous sibling tools, the description is too minimal. It does not explain the output format, pagination behavior (despite pageFrom parameter), or how automatic parsing works, leaving the agent to infer crucial details.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all six parameters thoroughly. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what is in the schema, resulting in a baseline score of 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool scrapes Amazon Product pricing information with automatic parsing, which distinguishes it from siblings like amazon_product (full product details) and amazon_search (general search). However, it does not explicitly contrast with these alternatives.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 other Amazon-related tools like amazon_product or amazon_search, nor are there any exclusions or prerequisites mentioned.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds 'automatic parsing' which hints at structured output, but doesn't disclose potential issues like invalid ASIN handling, rate limits, or that it fetches live data from Amazon.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence with no wasted words. It is front-loaded with the key action and resource. However, it could include one more detail about output without harming conciseness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the absence of an output schema, the description should compensate by explaining what the tool returns (e.g., parsed product data fields). It does not. Also, no mention of error handling or query format validation, making it incomplete for a scraping tool with 5 parameters.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description does not add new meaning beyond the schema; it only restates the overall purpose.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'scrape' and the resource 'Amazon Product page', with added context 'automatic parsing'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like amazon_search (lists) and amazon_pricing (prices).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives. The context of siblings suggests usage (single product vs. search), but no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations provide readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, but the description adds no additional behavioral details (e.g., error handling, data freshness, or limits). It merely restates the scraping intent.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, concise sentence with no wasted words. It front-loads the key action and resource, making it easy to parse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the complexity (5 parameters, no output schema), the description is too sparse. It lacks information about return format, error conditions, or usage nuances, leaving gaps despite helpful annotations.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds no extra meaning beyond what's in the schema, meeting the baseline for high coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Scrape Amazon Seller information with automatic parsing', using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like amazon_product or amazon_search, which target different data types.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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, nor any mention of prerequisites or exclusions. With many sibling tools, explicit usage context is missing.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

chatgptB

geoNoGeolocation of the desired request, expressed as a country name

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already provide readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, which indicate the tool is read-only and may return dynamic results. The description adds no additional behavioral context beyond 'interact', which could be misinterpreted as modifying state but does not contradict annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that is concise and to the point. However, it could be more front-loaded with the core function (querying ChatGPT) rather than 'search and interact'.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

There is no output schema, and the description does not detail what the tool returns (e.g., format, type of response). Given the openWorldHint, more context about possible outputs would be helpful.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema has 100% description coverage, so the schema already explains each parameter. The description does not add any extra meaning or usage tips for the prompt, search, or geo parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool is for interacting with ChatGPT to get AI-powered responses. However, it does not differentiate from siblings like 'perplexity' or other search tools, which also offer AI responses.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 google_search or perplexity. There are no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use instructions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate readOnly and openWorld. Description adds 'automatic parsing' but no further behavioral traits like rate limits or output structure. Adequate but not rich.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, front-loaded with key action, no redundant words. Extremely concise.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool is simple with 1 required param and annotations present. Description covers core purpose and parsing feature. Lacks output format info, but acceptable given no output schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so description adds no parameter-level meaning beyond schema. Baseline score of 3 applies.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so parameters are already documented. The tool description adds no additional meaning or context beyond what the schema provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (scrape), the target resource (Google Lens image search results), and adds a specific qualifier (automatic parsing). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like google_search and other image tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool over alternatives like google_search or other scraping tools. The description does not specify context, prerequisites, or exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

google_travel_hotelsB
Read-only

Scrape Google Travel Hotels search results

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryYesHotel search query (e.g., "trivago", "hotels in Paris")
jsRenderNoShould the request be opened in a headless browser, false by default
localeNoLocale of the desired request
deviceTypeNoDevice type to emulate for the request
pageFromNoStarting page number for pagination

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, covering safety and variability. The description adds no further behavioral context (e.g., pagination, headless browser usage, rate limits) but does not contradict the annotations. Given annotation coverage, a 3 is appropriate.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence with no wasted words, demonstrating high conciseness. However, it is so brief that it sacrifices informativeness; still, it is well-structured and front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has 5 parameters, no output schema, and multiple siblings, a single-sentence description is insufficient. It fails to explain return format, pagination, or the effect of optional parameters like jsRender, locale, and deviceType, leaving significant gaps for agent understanding.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

All 5 parameters have descriptions in the input schema, achieving 100% schema description coverage. The tool description adds no new meaning beyond the schema, so the baseline score of 3 is correct.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Scrape Google Travel Hotels search results' clearly identifies the tool's action (scrape) and resource (Google Travel Hotels search results). It distinguishes it from sibling tools like google_search (general web search) by specifying 'Travel Hotels', but could be more explicit about its unique scope.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as google_search or other travel-related tools. There is no mention of context, prerequisites, or when not to use it, leaving the agent without decision support.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

perplexityB
Read-only

Search and interact with Perplexity for AI-powered responses and conversations

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
promptYesPrompt to send to Perplexity
geoNoGeolocation of the desired request, expressed as a country name

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, indicating safe, nondeterministic behavior. The description adds 'AI-powered responses and conversations' but does not elaborate on other traits like rate limits or output format.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single concise sentence, but could be slightly improved by removing redundancy ('responses and conversations') and adding sibling differentiation without increasing length.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of annotations and full schema coverage, the description lacks contextual cues for an agent to distinguish it from similar AI tools, especially without output schema details.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for both parameters. The description does not add additional meaning beyond the schema, such as how to format the prompt or when geo is useful.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly identifies the resource (Perplexity) and action (search and interact), but it does not differentiate from sibling tools like chatgpt or google_ai_mode, which also provide AI-powered responses.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use Perplexity versus alternatives, such as when AI-powered search is preferred over traditional search (bing_search, google_search) or other AI chatbots (chatgpt).

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the safety profile and open-ended return are covered. The description adds no behavioral context beyond 'Scrape', which is acceptable but not additive given the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single concise sentence with no extraneous text. Every word is necessary.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a simple one-parameter tool with no output schema, the description is largely sufficient. It could optionally hint at the type of data returned (e.g., title, content) but openWorldHint implies variety, so 4 is reasonable.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 100% description coverage for the 'url' parameter, including an example. The description does not add further meaning or format details, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Scrape a specific Reddit post' uses a clear verb ('scrape') and specifies the exact resource ('specific Reddit post'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like 'reddit_subreddit' and 'reddit_user', which target different Reddit entities.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

reddit_subredditB
Read-only

Scrape Reddit subreddit results with automatic parsing

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesURL to subreddit

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint (true) and openWorldHint (true), covering safety and openness. The description adds 'with automatic parsing' but provides no additional behavioral details (e.g., rate limits, data freshness, or what parsing entails).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One short sentence that is efficient and front-loaded. However, it could be slightly more informative without losing conciseness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema exists, yet the description does not hint at what the tool returns (e.g., list of posts, post details). For a scraping tool, this omission is significant. Annotations help but do not fulfill the need for expected output.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% (parameter 'url' documented). The tool description adds 'subreddit results' context but does not enrich the parameter meaning beyond the schema's 'URL to subreddit'. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action 'Scrape Reddit subreddit results' with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings like 'reddit_post' (single post) and 'reddit_user', making its purpose unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 (e.g., reddit_post, reddit_search). The description does not provide context for selecting this tool among sibling tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true. The description adds context by specifying that it scrapes profile and posts/comments, providing valuable behavioral detail beyond annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, clear sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose without unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the simple one-parameter schema, no output schema, and annotations covering safety, the description sufficiently informs the agent. However, it could detail what data is returned (e.g., list of posts vs full content).

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has 100% coverage with a description for the single parameter 'url'. The description does not add additional parameter meaning beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description uses specific verb 'scrape' and resource 'Reddit user profile and their posts/comments', clearly distinguishing it from siblings like reddit_post and reddit_subreddit.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit when-to-use or alternatives guidance is given. The description implies scraping user data but lacks direction compared to sibling tools that target specific content.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
urlYesURL to scrape
geoNoGeolocation of the desired request, expressed as a country name
localeNoLocale of the desired request
jsRenderNoShould the request be opened in a headless browser, false by default
tokenLimitNoThe number of tokens to return in the response - anything above this limit will be truncated

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the description adds no behavioral info beyond the purpose. It does not mention truncation via tokenLimit, potential rate limits, or any side effects. The description is adequate but not enhanced.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that front-loads the main purpose. It is concise but arguably too brief; could include more detail without losing conciseness. Still, it's efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool has 5 parameters but no output schema. The description only mentions 'Markdown-formatted results' without details on structure, errors, or truncation behavior. For a web scraper used by an AI agent, more completeness would be beneficial. The annotations help but the description is lacking.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema has 100% description coverage for all 5 parameters, so the schema itself explains each parameter. The description does not add further meaning or usage context for the parameters. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (scrape) and resource (website contents) and output format (Markdown). It distinguishes from siblings like google_search or amazon_product by being a general-purpose web scraper. However, it could be more specific about the scope of content scraped (e.g., full page vs text).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like the specialized scrapers (e.g., amazon_bestsellers, target_product). An agent would not know if this tool is appropriate for a given site or context.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and openWorldHint=true, so the description's addition of 'automatic parsing' adds minimal behavioral context. No contradiction, but no elaboration on scraping behavior (e.g., rate limits, page structure).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence is concise and front-loaded. No unnecessary words; every phrase earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations indicate a read-only operation (readOnlyHint=true) and potential open-world effects (openWorldHint=true). The description adds 'automatic parsing' but omits other behavioral traits such as rate limits, authentication needs, or error handling. With annotations present, the description adds some value but leaves gaps.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is extremely concise—one sentence that front-loads the core action and resource. It contains no fluff or repetition, making it easy for an agent to parse quickly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

While the schema and annotations cover basic details, the lack of an output schema places burden on the description. 'Automatic parsing' is vague about the return format. For a scraping tool, more context about what data is extracted or error conditions would improve completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description does not add meaning beyond the schema; 'automatic parsing' hints at output format but not parameter-specific details. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Scrape'), the resource ('Walmart Product page'), and adds 'with automatic parsing' hinting at structured output. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like walmart_search.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for scraping a single product page but provides no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. No alternatives or exclusions are mentioned, leaving the agent to infer context from the tool name alone.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description adds no behavioral details beyond annotations (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint). It does not disclose rate limits, pagination, or output format.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence, no wasted words, but could provide more context without sacrificing brevity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a scraping tool with no output schema, the description is too minimal. Missing details on results, pagination, or parsing behavior.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema covers both parameters with descriptions; the description adds no extra meaning, meeting the baseline for high schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool scrapes YouTube channel videos with automatic parsing, distinguishing it from siblings like youtube_metadata, youtube_search, and youtube_subtitles.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 like youtube_search or youtube_metadata. Missing context for optimal usage.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

youtube_metadataB
Read-only

Scrape YouTube video metadata

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryYesYouTube video ID (e.g., "dFu9aKJoqGg")

TDQS

B3.1/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations readOnlyHint and openWorldHint indicate safe, read-only operation. The description adds minimal behavioral context beyond confirming read-only scraping. No mention of rate limits, authentication, error handling, or return types.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence is concise, but it is a phrase rather than a full sentence. Could be improved with a more structured description like 'Retrieves metadata for a YouTube video given its ID.' Still efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema is present, and the description does not specify what metadata fields are returned (e.g., title, views, likes). Given the tool's simplicity and lack of output schema, the description is incomplete for an agent to determine usefulness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema covers 100% of parameters and describes the single required 'query' parameter as a YouTube video ID with an example. The description adds no further meaning, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states the tool scrapes YouTube video metadata, which is a specific verb+resource. However, it doesn't detail what metadata fields are included, leaving some ambiguity. It is clearly distinct from siblings like youtube_search or youtube_subtitles.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No indication of when to use this tool versus alternatives such as youtube_search or youtube_channel. No explicit usage context, prerequisites, or exclusions are provided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

youtube_subtitlesB
Read-only

Scrape YouTube video subtitles

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
queryYesYouTube video ID (e.g., "L8zSWbQN-v8")
language_codeNoLanguage code for subtitles (e.g., "en", "es")

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations declare readOnlyHint and openWorldHint, but the description adds no further behavioral context (e.g., rate limits, required format for video ID).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence with no unnecessary words, effectively communicates the tool's purpose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity and schema coverage, the description is adequate but lacks mention of return format (no output schema) and usage context.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema covers 100% of parameters with descriptions, so 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.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description 'Scrape YouTube video subtitles' clearly states the verb and resource, distinguishing it from siblings like youtube_metadata and youtube_search.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

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 youtube_search or youtube_metadata, nor any conditions for use.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Tools are mostly distinct by platform and data type, but some overlap exists within Google (search, ads, AI mode, Lens) and between AI chat tools (chatgpt, perplexity). Descriptions help differentiate.

Naming Consistency4/5

Naming follows a consistent 'platform_what' pattern for most tools, but a few outliers like 'scrape_as_markdown', 'screenshot', 'chatgpt', and 'perplexity' break the pattern.

Tool Count3/5

30 tools is at the high end of reasonable. The server covers many scraping targets, but could be split into per-platform servers. Not excessive, but bordering on heavy.

Completeness3/5

Covers major platforms (Amazon, Google, Reddit, TikTok, Walmart, YouTube) but missing others (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and some common scraping operations (reviews, comments, posts). Decent but not exhaustive.
