TeamSpeak MCP

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'Get' (implying a read operation) but doesn't specify what information is returned, whether it requires authentication, if there are rate limits, or how it behaves (e.g., real-time vs cached data). For a tool with zero annotation coverage, this leaves significant gaps in understanding its operational traits.

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, efficient sentence: 'Get TeamSpeak server information'. It is front-loaded with the core action and resource, with zero wasted words. Every part of the sentence earns its place by clearly conveying the tool's purpose without redundancy or unnecessary elaboration.

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 tool has no parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is incomplete. It doesn't explain what 'server information' includes (e.g., configuration, status, metrics), how the information is structured, or any prerequisites for use. For a read operation in a complex server management context, more detail is needed to fully understand its scope and output.

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?

The tool has 0 parameters, and schema description coverage is 100%, so there are no parameters to document. The description doesn't need to add parameter semantics, and it correctly avoids mentioning any. A baseline of 4 is appropriate as the description doesn't mislead or omit parameter details that don't exist.

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 'Get TeamSpeak server information' clearly states the action (Get) and resource (TeamSpeak server information), making the purpose immediately understandable. It doesn't explicitly differentiate from siblings like 'get_connection_info' or 'update_server_settings', but the verb 'Get' distinguishes it from mutation tools. The purpose is specific enough to avoid being vague or tautological.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'get_connection_info' (which might return connection-specific details) and 'update_server_settings' (a mutation tool), there's no indication of what 'server information' encompasses or when this tool is preferred. Usage is implied only by the name, lacking explicit context or exclusions.

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