Parallels RAS MCP Server

by RMITBLOG

Enrollment Servers

ras_infra_get_enrollment_status
Read-onlyIdempotent

Check Parallels RAS enrollment server status to verify SCEP certificate enrollment health and troubleshoot certificate enrollment failures.

Instructions

Enrollment server status. Enrollment servers handle SCEP certificate enrollment for device management. Use this to check enrollment server health or troubleshoot certificate enrollment failures.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
limitNoMax rows after filtering. Default 50, max 200. Prefer narrowing with `filter` over raising the limit.
fieldsNoTop-level keys to keep on each row. Unknown keys are dropped. Use this to shrink large responses to only the columns you need.
filterNoEquality filter on top-level fields (AND across keys). String values match case-insensitively.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint. The description adds useful domain context about SCEP enrollment and troubleshooting but does not go beyond annotations to describe return format, pagination, or any nuanced behavioral traits.

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 three short sentences with no filler. It front-loads the core purpose, then explains the domain and usage in a natural progression. Every sentence contributes to understanding the tool.

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 read-only status tool with rich parameter documentation and safety annotations, the description covers purpose and usage adequately. It does not explain return values or pagination, but no output schema exists; a brief note on the shape of the status response would make it fully complete.

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 fully documents limit, fields, and filter. The description adds no parameter-specific meaning, which is acceptable given the schema's completeness, but it does not exceed the baseline.

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 resource and implied action: enrollment server status. It adds domain context about SCEP certificate enrollment, which distinguishes it from generic infrastructure status tools. However, it does not explicitly name or differentiate itself from relevant siblings such as ras_infra_get_certificates.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It gives a clear when-to-use: checking enrollment server health or troubleshooting certificate enrollment failures. There are no explicit exclusions or named alternatives, so it falls short of a 5, but the usage context is well defined.

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