StarRocks MCP Server
OfficialServer Quality Checklist
Latest release: v1.0.0
- Disambiguation4/5
Each tool targets a distinct function: query execution, analysis, chart generation, schema summary, etc. There is slight overlap between read_query and query_and_plotly_chart, but their outputs differ (raw data vs chart), and descriptions clarify the distinction. No major confusion.
Naming Consistency2/5Tool names follow no consistent pattern: some are verb_noun (e.g., read_query), some are noun_verb (e.g., db_summary), some include conjunctions (query_and_plotly_chart), and verbs vary (analyze, collect, set, write). This inconsistency may confuse an agent trying to infer tool purposes from naming.
Tool Count5/5With 8 tools, the server is well-scoped for a database MCP server covering querying, analysis, schema browsing, and charting. Each tool serves a clear purpose without being excessive or minimal.
Completeness4/5The tool set covers core database interactions: query (read and write), analysis, schema overview, and charting. A minor gap is the absence of a tool to list all databases, but db_summary and set_session_db partially address this. Overall, the surface is reasonably complete for the stated purpose.
Average 3.7/5 across 8 of 8 tools scored.

How is the quality score calculated?
The overall quality score combines two components: Tool Definition Quality (70%) and Server Coherence (30%).
Tool Definition Quality measures how well each tool describes itself to AI agents. Every tool is scored 1–5 across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity (25%), Usage Guidelines (20%), Behavioral Transparency (20%), Parameter Semantics (15%), Conciseness & Structure (10%), and Contextual Completeness (10%). The server-level definition quality score is calculated as 60% mean TDQS + 40% minimum TDQS, so a single poorly described tool pulls the score down.
Server Coherence evaluates how well the tools work together as a set, scoring four dimensions equally: Disambiguation (can agents tell tools apart?), Naming Consistency, Tool Count Appropriateness, and Completeness (are there gaps in the tool surface?).
Tiers are derived from the overall score: A (≥3.5), B (≥3.0), C (≥2.0), D (≥1.0), F (<1.0). B and above is considered passing.
Tool Scores
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions 'using query profile' but does not disclose whether the tool is read-only, requires authentication, has side effects, or what state (e.g., query must be previously executed) is needed. The behavioral traits are minimal.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the purpose, and includes a concise usage hint. Every sentence adds value without unnecessary words or repetition.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the presence of an output schema and the moderate complexity (3 parameters), the description covers the basic purpose and provides a hint about the database parameter. However, it does not clarify the difference between analyzing by SQL vs. UUID, or that the query may need to have been executed first. It is adequate but leaves gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, providing baseline parameter descriptions. The description adds value by explaining that 'set_session_db' can set a per-session default database, indirectly clarifying that the 'db' parameter may be omitted if a default is set. This goes beyond the schema's simple 'database' label.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states the action ('analyze a query') and the resource ('query'), and mentions using 'query profile', which indicates the tool's specific function. However, the phrasing 'get analyze result' is slightly redundant, and it doesn't clearly distinguish from sibling tools like 'db_summary' or 'read_query'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description includes a hint to use 'set_session_db' for setting a default database, but provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., 'read_query' or 'query_and_plotly_chart'). There is no mention of prerequisites, exclusions, or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must disclose behavioral traits. It explains the two-step process (query then chart) but does not mention side effects, errors, rate limits, or output format details. The description is simple but lacks depth.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise with two sentences, the first clearly stating the main function. The second sentence provides a related tip but is somewhat tangential. 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.
Completeness3/5Given 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 fairly complete for a combined query-chart tool. It explains the process and mentions a prerequisite. However, it lacks details on output format or error handling, leaving some gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions, so baseline is 3. The description adds context about the overall workflow but does not elaborate on individual parameters beyond the schema. The mention of set_session_db is peripheral.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it uses SQL query to extract data and then generates a chart with plotly_expr. It distinguishes from siblings like read_query (which only returns data) by explicitly mentioning chart generation. However, it could be more precise by contrasting with other query tools.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description mentions using set_session_db to set a default database, which is helpful but does not provide guidance on when to use this tool over its siblings (e.g., read_query for data only, analyze_query for analysis). No explicit exclusions or alternatives are given.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the output is very large and needs special tools, which is useful. However, it does not mention other behavioral traits like destructiveness, permissions, or side effects, leaving some gaps.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single sentence, front-loaded with the action. It is concise and to the point, though a bit more structure could improve readability.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool has 2 parameters, no output schema, and no nested objects, the description provides adequate context but does not explain what 'query dump' and 'profile' entail or the return format. It is minimally complete for a simple tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100% (both parameters have descriptions: 'database' and 'query to execute'). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description states 'Run a query to get it's query dump and profile', which clearly identifies the verb (run) and resource (query dump and profile). It also mentions the output is very large, adding context. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'query_and_plotly_chart' or 'read_query'.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description implies usage context by stating 'need special tools to do further processing', suggesting this tool is for large outputs requiring post-processing. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor provide conditions to avoid.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavioral traits. It explains the output_file feature and notes that files are written on the server's filesystem, which is important for remote deployments. However, it does not explicitly state that the tool is read-only or discuss error handling or authentication.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness4/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is concise, with the purpose stated first. It includes two sentences plus a minor note, and every part adds value. The only flaw is an extra period after 'inline'.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness2/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
The description lacks details about the return structure when output_file is not used. It mentions returning 'inline' but does not specify the format or content (e.g., rows, columns). Given there is no output schema, this information is crucial for correct usage.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds significant value beyond the schema for output_file and output_format, explaining path resolution, environment variables, and format inference. For db, it adds no extra meaning.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description explicitly states 'Execute a SELECT query or commands that return a ResultSet', which provides a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes this tool from siblings like write_query and analyze_query by focusing on read-only queries that produce a result set.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines2/5Does 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 (e.g., write_query for modifications, analyze_query for explaining). The only instruction is to use set_session_db for default database, which is a side note, not a usage guideline for tool selection.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior2/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided; the description does not disclose if the tool is read-only, cached, or has side effects. It mentions the refresh parameter but does not explain caching behavior in text, leaving agents without key safety cues.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is a single concise sentence with an additional useful hint. It is front-loaded and contains no filler, efficiently conveying purpose and context.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given three parameters and no annotations, the description covers the main use case but falls short on behavioral transparency. The presence of an output schema reduces the need to describe return values. Overall adequate but with gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The input schema has 100% description coverage for all parameters. The description adds some value by linking the 'db' parameter to set_session_db, but does not significantly expand on parameter meaning beyond the schema.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool retrieves a database summary including table schema and size, with a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from siblings by mentioning set_session_db for default database context.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description indicates when to use (quickly get summary) and references set_session_db for setting a default database. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use or compare to siblings like read_query or table_overview.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses caching behavior and refresh option, which is important for understanding tool behavior. No destructive actions are implied.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, no fluff. First sentence clearly states the tool's action and output, second provides important context about caching and database setup. Every word earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness4/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity (2 params, output schema exists), the description covers key aspects: output components, caching, default database. Minor omission like error behavior or limit on sample rows is compensated by output schema.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters3/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, and the description does not add semantic meaning beyond the schema descriptions. The parameter details are fully covered by the schema, so description adds no extra value.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose4/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states it provides an overview of a table including columns, sample rows, and row count. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like read_query or analyze_query, which are for querying rather than generating a summary.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description gives context on caching and default database setup via set_session_db, but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., read_query for raw data).
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided; description covers non-ResultSet nature but lacks details on side effects, permissions, or error behavior.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, front-loaded with core purpose, no unnecessary words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness3/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Missing output schema; description doesn't specify return format or error handling, but purpose and parameters are adequately covered.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema covers both parameters; description adds value by suggesting set_session_db for default database, enhancing understanding of db parameter.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states it executes DDL/DML commands without ResultSet, distinguishing it from sibling tools like read_query which returns results.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines3/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Mentions using set_session_db for default database but does not explicitly state when to use vs alternatives or when not to use.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
- Behavior5/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description fully carries the burden. It discloses that setting affects subsequent calls without explicit db argument, clarifies clearing behavior, and states the return value. No behavioral contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, no redundant words. Every sentence adds critical information.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the single parameter and no annotations, the description is fully complete. It explains purpose, usage, parameter semantics, and return value. No gaps.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters5/5Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds value by explaining that empty string or null clears the override, which is not explicitly in the schema. It clarifies the parameter's effect beyond the bare description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Purpose5/5Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool sets or clears the default database for the MCP session, using specific verbs ('set', 'clear', 'fall back'). It distinguishes from sibling query tools by focusing on session state management.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Usage Guidelines4/5Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explains when to use (set default) and how to clear (empty/null). While it doesn't explicitly state when not to use or list alternatives, the context of sibling tools makes the usage clear. The guidance is sufficient.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
