Qlik MCP Server

handle_get_app_script

Retrieve and analyze the data loading script from a Qlik Sense application. Returns structured JSON with optional analysis including BINARY LOAD detection and variable extraction.

Instructions

MCP tool handler for retrieving and analyzing the script from a Qlik Sense application.

This tool connects to a Qlik Sense server, opens the specified application, retrieves the complete application script used for data loading and transformation, optionally performs detailed analysis including BINARY LOAD extraction, and returns it as structured JSON.

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It outlines the process (connect, open, retrieve, optionally analyze, return JSON) but lacks details on side effects, permissions, rate limits, or error handling.

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 paragraph that front-loads the purpose and is reasonably concise, though slightly verbose with redundant phrasing like 'retrieving and analyzing' appearing twice.

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 complexity and the presence of a output schema, the description covers basic functionality but omits important contextual details such as authentication requirements, error conditions, or the structure of the returned JSON.

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 coverage is 100%, with each parameter having a description. The tool description adds minimal additional meaning beyond these schema descriptions, so 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 it retrieves and optionally analyzes the Qlik Sense application script, distinguishing it from sibling tools that handle other aspects like data sources, dimensions, or sheets.

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 use for script retrieval and analysis, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor provides when-not-to-use guidance.

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