VK MCP Server
Features
19 tools across users, walls, communities, photos, likes and statistics
Read and write: search and read freely; posting, editing and deleting are marked as write operations so your client can ask first
Structured output: every tool declares an output schema, so the model gets typed data instead of a JSON blob it has to parse out of text
Pagination that explains itself: list results say how many matches exist and which offset continues from here, so the model can page through a wall instead of stopping at the first twenty posts
Things you can look at: on hosts that support MCP Apps — Claude, Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Goose — walls, communities and profiles render as cards: posts with their photos and clip previews, communities with their banner and size, profiles with avatar and following. Everywhere else it behaves exactly as before
Prompts: ready-made workflows — community digest, engagement report, audience snapshot, community search
Resilient: request timeouts, automatic backoff when VK rate-limits, and clear messages for captchas and HTTP failures
Honest about tokens: VK has three kinds and they differ enormously in reach.
--checknames which one you hold and probes what it can actually do,--loginwalks the VK ID flow for the reading kind, and every VK error carries the fix rather than the code aloneTested: 84 tests driving the real server over the MCP protocol

Quick Start
Claude Desktop — one click
Download the latest .mcpb bundle from the
releases page and
open it. It installs the server, asks for your VK token in a form field, and
stores it securely — no Node.js, no config files, no terminal.
VS Code — one click
VS Code prompts for your VK token and keeps it out of the config file. From a terminal instead:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"vk","command":"npx","args":["-y","vk-mcp-server"],"env":{"VK_ACCESS_TOKEN":"your_token"}}'npm
npx vk-mcp-serverOr install globally with npm install -g vk-mcp-server.
MCP Registry
Also available in the official MCP Registry:
io.github.bulatko/vkGetting VK Access Token
For anything beyond reading public pages, you need a community token. Open
a community you manage → Manage → API usage → Access tokens →
Create token, ticking wall and photos. Three clicks, no app, never
expires, tied to no browser or IP — and it is the only kind VK still lets post,
edit or upload.
For public reads alone, either of these does:
npx vk-mcp-server --login <YOUR_APP_ID> # sign in as yourself…or the service key from any app page.
Worth knowing before you spend an evening on it: --login returns a VK ID
token (vk2.a…), which VK issues for signing in rather than for the API. It
reads public profiles, walls and community info; posting, photos, friends,
feeds and statistics all answer error 1051, whatever scopes you request. The
older flow that granted full user tokens now refuses newly created apps
outright. npx vk-mcp-server --check names which kind you hold and what it
reaches.
Use your own app rather than an App ID from somewhere else: a token dies with the app that issued it, and the error gives no hint that this is what happened.

Configuration
Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"vk": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "vk-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"VK_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token_here"
}
}
}
}Claude Code
Add to your project's .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"vk": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "vk-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"VK_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_access_token_here"
}
}
}
}Environment variables
Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
| for tool calls | — | VK API access token. The server starts and lists its tools without one; calling a tool then returns an error saying so |
| no |
| Abort a VK request that hangs longer than this |
| no |
| Point the server at an API mirror or proxy |
VK rate-limits user tokens to a few calls per second. When it answers with error 6 (too many requests), the server backs off and retries up to three times before giving up, so short bursts of tool calls do not fail outright.
Command line
Command | What it does |
| Runs the MCP server (this is what your client calls) |
| Gets a token through VK ID in your browser |
| Reports what your token is and which tools it can use |
| Lists the commands and environment variables |
Troubleshooting
Start with:
VK_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token npx vk-mcp-server --checkIt identifies which of the three token types you have — user, community or service — and probes what that token can actually reach, so you find out up front instead of discovering it tool by tool. It never calls a write method.
Common cases:
What you see | What it means |
| The VK app that issued the token is blocked. Every token from it fails this way, however valid the token looks. Create your own app and issue a fresh token. |
| The token expired or was revoked — run |
| A service token cannot call user methods. Use a user or community token. |
| The data is restricted — a private profile, or a community that hides its members. |
| VK bound the token to the IP that authorised it, and the server is on a different one. Common when the server runs on a VPS but you signed in from your laptop. Get the token on the machine that runs the server, or use a community token. |
| The old implicit OAuth flow. Use |
| The server is running but your client never passed |
The server turns these into messages that say what to do, so the model can usually explain the fix without you reading this table.
Available Tools
Tools marked ✏️ change something on VK — they post, edit, delete or join on
behalf of whoever owns the access token. Each tool also carries MCP annotations
(readOnlyHint, destructiveHint), so a client can auto-approve lookups while
still asking before a post is edited or deleted.

Prompts
Prompts appear in your client as ready-made workflows — pick one, fill in the community, and the model knows which tools to use.
Prompt | What it does |
| Reads recent posts and summarises themes, standouts and cadence |
| Ranks posts by likes and by comments, then explains what the winners share |
| Samples members and describes the audience by sex, city and activity |
| Drafts a post in the community's own tone, shows it for approval, publishes it |
| Searches communities on a topic and compares the candidates |
Usage Examples
Once configured, you can ask Claude:
"Get information about Pavel Durov's VK profile"
"Show me the latest 5 posts from the VK official community"
"Post 'Hello World!' on my wall"
"Get the list of communities I'm a member of"
"Show my newsfeed"
Example Conversation
A real exchange — the numbers below came back from VK while this was written.
You: How big is the VK Mini Apps community, and how are its recent posts doing?
Claude: [vk_groups_get_by_id group_ids="apiclub", fields="members_count,activity"]
[vk_wall_get domain="apiclub", count=3]
VK Mini Apps (@vkappsdev, id 166562603) — 245,457 members, filed under
Programming, with 898 posts on the wall. The three most recent:
21 Jan 22,653 views 46 likes 15 reposts "Готовы сделать этот год прорывным?..."
20 Jul 529 views 18 likes 0 reposts (photo post, no text)
13 Jul 3,782 views 11 likes 3 reposts "Суперсила игр и приложений в соцсети..."
The January post reached forty times the audience of the July ones —
worth a look at what it did differently.The model gets each of those numbers as typed fields rather than text it has to parse, because every tool declares an output schema.

Available Tools
19 toolsvk_friends_getList friendsARead-onlyIdempotent
List a user's friends. Returns bare IDs unless you ask for fields. Needs a user token, and only works for profiles that expose their friend list.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| count | No | Number of friends | |
| order | No | ||
| fields | No | Profile fields | |
| user_id | No | User ID. Defaults to the token owner. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | No | Total number of matches on VK, which is usually larger than the returned page |
| items | Yes | Friend IDs, or profiles when fields are requested |
| pagination | No | Where this page sits in the whole result. Call the tool again with offset set to next_offset to continue; when next_offset is null there is nothing left to fetch. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, and non-destructive behavior. The description adds value by noting that bare IDs are returned unless fields are requested, and it highlights auth and profile visibility constraints.
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 two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action. Every sentence serves a purpose with no redundancy.
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 annotations and the presence of an output schema, the description covers auth requirements, privacy limitations, and basic output behavior. It is complete for a read-only list tool.
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?
Schema coverage is 75%, so baseline is 3. The description adds meaning for the 'fields' parameter by explaining the default return behavior. However, it does not elaborate on 'count' or 'order' beyond schema descriptions.
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 clearly states the tool lists a user's friends, using a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes itself from siblings like vk_users_get by focusing on friends and mentioning output behavior.
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 specifies that a user token is required and that it only works for profiles exposing their friend list. This provides context but does not explicitly compare with alternatives among siblings.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_groups_getList your communitiesARead-onlyIdempotent
List the communities the token owner belongs to. Needs a user token — a community or service token cannot answer this.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| count | No | Number of communities | |
| fields | No | Community fields | |
| filter | No | Filter by type | |
| user_id | No | User ID. Defaults to the token owner. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | No | Total number of matches on VK, which is usually larger than the returned page |
| items | Yes | Communities the user belongs to |
| pagination | No | Where this page sits in the whole result. Call the tool again with offset set to next_offset to continue; when next_offset is null there is nothing left to fetch. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, destructiveHint. Description adds token type limitation, which is useful behavioral context 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, each providing essential information without redundancy. First sentence states purpose, second sentence specifies token requirement—efficient and clear.
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?
Tool has output schema (implied), parameters documented, token requirement added. For a simple list tool, this is sufficient. No mention of pagination or sorting, but not necessary given the tool's simplicity.
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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. Description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema, hence baseline score of 3.
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?
Description clearly states verb (List), resource (communities), and scope (token owner belongs to). Distinguishes from siblings like vk_groups_search and vk_groups_get_by_id.
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?
Clearly states token requirement, specifying that user token is needed and community/service tokens won't work. Does not explicitly list alternatives but context is clear.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_groups_get_by_idGet community infoARead-onlyIdempotent
Look up communities by numeric ID or short name (e.g. apiclub). Use it to resolve a name to an ID, or to read the description, member count and type before deciding what to do with it.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| fields | No | Community fields | |
| group_ids | No | Comma-separated community IDs or short names (e.g. apiclub,vk). Positive and without the minus sign. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| groups | No | Community profiles |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds that it can resolve short names to IDs and return specific fields, which provides useful behavioral context beyond 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with the primary action, no wasted words. Every sentence adds value.
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 high schema coverage (100%) and presence of output schema, the description fully covers what the tool does, what inputs are needed, and the purpose. No gaps.
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?
Both parameters have schema descriptions, but the tool description adds extra clarity: 'Comma-separated community IDs or short names (e.g. apiclub,vk). Positive and without the minus sign.' This goes beyond the schema's basic description.
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?
Clearly states the tool looks up communities by ID or short name, resolves names to IDs, and reads fields like description, member count, and type. Distinguishes from siblings like vk_groups_search or vk_groups_get.
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?
Explicitly says to use it for resolving names to IDs or reading group info before deciding next steps. Implies when to use, but does not explicitly list alternatives or exclusion conditions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_groups_get_membersList community membersARead-onlyIdempotent
List the members of a community. Returns bare user IDs unless you ask for fields, in which case it returns profiles. Many communities hide their member list, which comes back as an access error rather than an empty list.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| sort | No | Sort order: id_asc, id_desc, time_asc, time_desc | |
| count | No | Number of members to return (max 1000) | |
| fields | No | Additional profile fields to return (e.g. photo_200,online,sex,city) | |
| filter | No | Filter: managers, editors, mods, advertisers, friends, unsure | |
| offset | No | Offset for pagination | |
| group_id | Yes | Community ID or its short name (e.g. apiclub). Positive and without the minus sign — the minus belongs to owner_id on a wall, not here. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | No | Total number of matches on VK, which is usually larger than the returned page |
| items | Yes | Member IDs, or profiles when fields are requested |
| pagination | No | Where this page sits in the whole result. Call the tool again with offset set to next_offset to continue; when next_offset is null there is nothing left to fetch. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint) already indicate safe, idempotent behavior. The description adds value by revealing that hidden member lists return an access error instead of an empty list, and that output format depends on fields parameter.
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 extremely concise: two sentences, no wasted words. The first sentence states the action, the second adds essential nuance. Perfectly front-loaded.
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 presence of an output schema (so return values are documented) and comprehensive annotations, the description covers all needed context: default output, parameter effects, and error behavior. It is complete for an agent to use correctly.
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?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds meaning beyond the schema: it clarifies the default output (bare user IDs) and the role of the 'fields' parameter. It also provides a crucial note about group_id format ('Positive and without the minus sign').
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 title 'List community members' and description clearly state the tool's purpose: listing members of a community. It specifies the output (bare user IDs or profiles) and distinguishes from tools like vk_groups_get by focusing on members.
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 does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, but it provides a key behavioral note about hidden member lists causing errors. This implies caution but lacks direct usage guidance or exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_groups_joinJoin a communityAIdempotent
Join a community as the token owner, or send a join request if it is closed. group_id is positive here, without the minus sign.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| group_id | Yes | Community ID or its short name (e.g. apiclub). Positive and without the minus sign — the minus belongs to owner_id on a wall, not here. | |
| not_sure | No | For events only: 1 — "maybe attending", 0 — confirmed |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| success | Yes | Whether VK accepted the change |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate mutable, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. Description adds that the action may result in a join request if the community is closed. No contradictions with annotations. Could further detail side effects like notifications or permission requirements.
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?
Two concise sentences that front-load the main action and provide essential parameter guidance. No redundant information.
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's simplicity and presence of output schema and annotations, the description covers key aspects: purpose, parameter format, and behavioral modes. Lacks mention of authentication requirements or what happens if the user is already a member.
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?
Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds valuable context for group_id (positive, without minus sign) beyond the schema's description. The not_sure parameter is not enhanced, but the main parameter gains clarity.
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?
Description clearly states the verb 'join' and the resource 'community', and distinguishes between direct join and sending a join request for closed communities. This differentiates from sibling tools like vk_groups_search or vk_groups_get_members.
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 context on when to use the tool (joining a community) and clarifies the group_id format (positive, without minus sign). It does not explicitly state when not to use or list alternatives, but the sibling tools are diverse and the purpose is clear enough.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_groups_searchSearch communitiesARead-onlyIdempotent
Find communities by keyword, optionally narrowed by type, country, city or sort order. Returns matches with a total count.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | Yes | Search query | |
| sort | No | Sort order: 0 — default, 1 — by speed, 6 — by likes | |
| type | No | Community type: group, page or event | |
| count | No | Number of results (max 1000) | |
| fields | No | Additional community fields to return | |
| future | No | Filter future events: 1 — only future events | |
| offset | No | Offset for pagination | |
| city_id | No | City ID to filter by | |
| country_id | No | Country ID to filter by |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | No | Total number of matches on VK, which is usually larger than the returned page |
| items | Yes | Matching communities |
| pagination | No | Where this page sits in the whole result. Call the tool again with offset set to next_offset to continue; when next_offset is null there is nothing left to fetch. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and non-destructive. Description adds that it returns matches with a total count, but does not disclose pagination behavior or rate limits. Given annotations, this is adequate but not exceptional.
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 two sentences, zero wasted words, front-loaded with the main action. Every sentence adds value.
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?
With output schema present, return values are covered. The description mentions optional narrowing and total count, covering most parameter intentions. However, it could briefly note that offset and count control pagination.
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?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description lists several parameters (keyword, type, country, city, sort) but adds no additional meaning beyond the schema's own descriptions.
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?
Description clearly states the verb 'Find' and resource 'communities', and specifies filtering by keyword, type, country, city, or sort order. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like vk_groups_get which retrieve groups by ID rather than search.
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 implies usage for searching with optional filters but does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives among siblings (e.g., vk_groups_get for direct lookup). No exclusions or context for when to choose this over other group tools are provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_likes_getSee who reactedARead-onlyIdempotent
List the users who liked or reacted to an object — a post, comment, photo or video — with counts per reaction. owner_id is negative for a community; item_id is the post or object ID.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | Yes | Object type | |
| count | No | Number of users to return (max 1000) | |
| offset | No | Offset for pagination | |
| item_id | Yes | Object ID | |
| owner_id | No | Owner ID of the object (negative for community) | |
| reaction_id | No | Filter by reaction: 0 — like ❤️, 1 — laugh 😂, 2 — wow 😮, 3 — admiration 🔥, 4 — angry 😡, 5 — sad 😢 |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | No | Total number of matches on VK, which is usually larger than the returned page |
| items | Yes | Users who reacted to the object |
| pagination | No | Where this page sits in the whole result. Call the tool again with offset set to next_offset to continue; when next_offset is null there is nothing left to fetch. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds behavioral context about returning counts per reaction and parameter specifics (e.g., owner_id negative for community), going beyond the schema without contradicting annotations.
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?
Two sentences efficiently convey the tool's purpose and a key parameter detail. No waste, front-loaded with the core action.
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's complexity (6 params, 2 required, output schema, comprehensive annotations), the description covers the main purpose and essential parameter nuances. It does not discuss pagination but schema handles that. Adequate for a well-specified tool.
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?
Schema descriptions cover 100% of parameters. The tool description adds minimal additional meaning (e.g., clarifying owner_id and item_id), but this information is already present in the schema, providing no significant extra value.
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 clearly states the tool lists users who liked/reacted to an object with counts per reaction, using specific verbs and distinguishing from sibling tools that handle other operations like posts or users.
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 implies usage for retrieving reaction data but lacks explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it. No comparison to sibling tools is provided.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_newsfeed_getRead your newsfeedARead-onlyIdempotent
Read the token owner's own newsfeed. Needs a user token — this is the feed of the account the token belongs to, not a public one.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| count | No | Number of items | |
| filters | No | Filter by type: post, photo, video | |
| start_from | No | Pagination cursor |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | No | Total number of matches on VK, which is usually larger than the returned page |
| items | Yes | Newsfeed entries |
| pagination | No | Where this page sits in the whole result. Call the tool again with offset set to next_offset to continue; when next_offset is null there is nothing left to fetch. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint, and non-destructive. The description adds value by explicitly stating the token requirement and that it's the owner's feed, which are critical behavioral details 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.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences, front-loaded with the primary purpose, and every sentence adds essential information (what the tool does and token requirement). No unnecessary words.
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?
The tool has an output schema, so return values are covered. The description, combined with rich annotations and schema, provides sufficient context for a simple read operation. Minor gap: no explicit mention of pagination usage, but start_from parameter is described in schema as 'Pagination cursor'.
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 input schema has 100% description coverage for all three parameters (count, filters, start_from). The description does not add any additional meaning or usage guidance for these parameters beyond what the schema already provides, 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.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states 'Read the token owner's own newsfeed', using a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('newsfeed'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like vk_wall_get, which is for wall posts, by specifying it's the personal feed of the token owner.
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 context by stating it requires a user token and is not public, which helps an agent understand when to use this tool (e.g., for personalized content) versus alternatives. However, it does not explicitly exclude other tools or provide direct comparisons.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_photos_getGet photosARead-onlyIdempotent
List photos from an album. album_id accepts wall, profile or saved as well as a numeric album ID. owner_id is negative for a community.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| count | No | Number of photos | |
| album_id | No | Album ID or: wall, profile, saved | |
| owner_id | No | Album owner: negative for a community, positive for a person. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | No | Total number of matches on VK, which is usually larger than the returned page |
| items | Yes | Photos in the album |
| pagination | No | Where this page sits in the whole result. Call the tool again with offset set to next_offset to continue; when next_offset is null there is nothing left to fetch. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint, so the description does not need to restate safety. It adds value by explaining special parameter values but does not disclose behaviors like pagination or authentication requirements beyond what annotations cover.
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?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded with the main action. Every sentence adds essential information without fluff.
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 presence of output schema and full parameter documentation, the description provides enough context to use the tool. Minor gaps: no mention of default behavior when count is omitted, or pagination hints. Still, it is nearly complete for a simple list tool.
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?
Schema has 100% documentation for all 3 parameters, so the description adds minimal new meaning beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., repeating album_id options and owner_id sign). Baseline 3 applies.
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?
Description uses specific verb 'List' and resource 'photos from an album', clearly distinguishing from sibling tools like vk_wall_get (wall posts) or vk_photos_upload_wall (upload). It also specifies special album_id values.
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?
Provides context on album_id and owner_id formats, clarifying common usage scenarios. However, it does not explicitly compare with alternatives or state when not to use this tool, lacking exclusions.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_photos_upload_wallUpload a photo for a postA
Upload a photo so it can be attached to a post. Takes a URL or a local file path, runs VK's three-step upload, and returns an attachment string like photo-1_2 to pass to vk_wall_post or vk_wall_edit. group_id is positive here, without the minus sign.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| image | Yes | Image URL (http/https) or absolute local file path | |
| caption | No | Photo caption | |
| group_id | No | Community ID or its short name (e.g. apiclub). Positive and without the minus sign — the minus belongs to owner_id on a wall, not here. |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| id | No | Photo ID |
| owner_id | No | Owner of the uploaded photo |
| attachment | Yes | Attachment string such as photo-1_2, ready to pass to vk_wall_post |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Description reveals the three-step upload process and the output format, adding value beyond annotations. Annotations already indicate non-read-only and non-idempotent, and the description complements them without contradiction.
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?
Three short sentences, each serving a distinct purpose: purpose, input/output, and parameter clarification. No redundant information.
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?
Tool has moderate complexity due to multi-step upload and output schema. Description covers input types, return format, and intended usage context. It does not detail error handling or step specifics, but this is acceptable given the output schema exists.
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?
Schema covers 100% of parameters. Description adds crucial nuance for group_id (positive, without minus sign) that prevents misuse, and confirms image supports both URL and local path. This goes beyond the schema's basic descriptions.
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?
Description clearly states the tool uploads a photo for attaching to a post, using specific verbs and resources. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like vk_photos_get by specifying the upload purpose and output format.
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?
Description gives explicit context: the returned attachment string should be passed to vk_wall_post or vk_wall_edit. It also clarifies the group_id format. However, it does not mention when not to use this tool or suggest alternatives.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_stats_getCommunity statisticsARead-onlyIdempotent
Read a community's statistics by period: reach, visitors and activity. The token owner must be an administrator of that community, otherwise VK denies access.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| group_id | Yes | Community ID or its short name (e.g. apiclub). Positive and without the minus sign — the minus belongs to owner_id on a wall, not here. | |
| interval | No | ||
| intervals_count | No | Number of intervals |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | No | Total number of matches on VK, which is usually larger than the returned page |
| items | Yes | One entry per statistics period |
| pagination | No | Where this page sits in the whole result. Call the tool again with offset set to next_offset to continue; when next_offset is null there is nothing left to fetch. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false. The description adds the crucial behavioral detail that admin privileges are required, which is not captured in annotations. There is no contradiction with annotations.
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?
Two sentences are used: the first states the core purpose, the second adds a critical usage condition. No filler words; highly efficient and front-loaded.
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?
For a read-oriented tool with an output schema, the description adequately covers what the tool does (reads statistics by period), the types of data (reach, visitors, activity), and the prerequisite (admin status). No additional behavioral details are needed given the annotations.
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?
Schema coverage is 67% with descriptions for group_id and intervals_count. The description mentions 'by period: reach, visitors and activity' but does not elaborate on parameter syntax, formats, or constraints beyond what the schema provides. It adds marginal value.
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 clearly states the tool reads community statistics (reach, visitors, activity) by period. It uses a specific verb ('Read') and resource ('community statistics'), and is distinct from sibling tools like vk_wall_get or vk_users_get.
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 necessary context: the token owner must be an administrator of the community. It does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or suggest alternatives among siblings, but the given condition is clear and actionable.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_users_getGet user profilesARead-onlyIdempotent
Look up VK users by numeric ID or short name (e.g. durov). Use this to resolve a name to an ID before calling other tools, or to check whether a profile is closed.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

| fields | No | Profile fields to return | |
| user_ids | No | Comma-separated user IDs or screen names |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | No | Total number of matches on VK, which is usually larger than the returned page |
| items | Yes | User profiles |
| pagination | No | Where this page sits in the whole result. Call the tool again with offset set to next_offset to continue; when next_offset is null there is nothing left to fetch. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already cover read-only and idempotent hints; description adds behavioral context about checking profile closed status but doesn't elaborate further.
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?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded with action, no unnecessary words.
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 low complexity, existing annotations, and output schema, the description fully covers purpose, usage, and parameter context without gaps.
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?
Schema coverage is 100% and description adds meaning: user_ids can be numeric IDs or screen names with example 'durov', clarifying usage beyond schema.
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 clearly states the verb (look up), resource (VK users by numeric ID or short name), and distinguishes from siblings like vk_users_search.
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?
Explicitly says when to use: to resolve a name to an ID before calling other tools or check if a profile is closed. Implicitly differentiates from search tools.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

| comment_id | Yes | ID of the created comment |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate non-read-only, non-idempotent, and non-destructive. The description adds relevant context: owner_id must be negative for communities and positive for users, and it returns the new comment_id. These details go beyond the annotations and help the agent understand expected behavior.
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 extremely concise: two sentences that cover the core action, the key parameter nuance, and the return value. Every sentence is essential, and the structure is front-loaded with the primary purpose.
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's simplicity, the description covers all necessary aspects: action, required parameters, owner_id convention, and return value. With an output schema present, the description does not need to detail return structure. It is sufficiently complete for a comment creation tool.
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 input schema provides descriptions for all 3 parameters (100% coverage). The tool description adds extra context for owner_id, explaining the sign convention (negative for community). This enhances understanding beyond the schema alone.
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 clearly states the action ('Add a comment to a post'), identifies the resource (a post), and differentiates from sibling tools like vk_wall_post (create a post) or vk_wall_delete. The mention of owner_id convention and return value provides additional clarity.
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 implicitly indicates when to use it (to add a comment) but does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare with alternatives. For example, it doesn't contrast with vk_wall_edit or vk_wall_post for creating comments on posts.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given that all parameters are optional, schema coverage is full, an output schema exists, and annotations cover safety, the description completes the picture by explaining ordering, target selection, and output contents. No gaps remain.
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?
Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful context beyond schema by explaining the dual usage of domain and owner_id, and emphasizing the engagement metrics each post includes. This clarifies parameter interplay.
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 clearly states it reads posts from a wall, specifies the resource (user or community), and contrasts with sibling tools like vk_wall_post or vk_wall_delete. It explicitly says 'Read posts from a user or community wall, newest first.'
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 explains when to use the tool: to read posts. It provides guidance on how to specify the target using domain or owner_id, with a clear rule for positive/negative values. It does not explicitly exclude non-use cases, but the context from sibling names implies it is for reading, not writing.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_wall_get_by_idGet specific postsARead-onlyIdempotent
Fetch particular posts by their full IDs in {owner_id}_{post_id} form, e.g. -1_340393. Use it to re-read a post you already know about, such as one you just published.

Schema descriptions cover both parameters fully (100% coverage). The description reiterates the ID format and comma separation, which adds no new meaning beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.
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?
Description clearly states 'Fetch particular posts by their full IDs', providing a specific verb and resource. The example ID format and mention of re-reading posts distinguishes it from siblings like vk_wall_get (which likely lists posts) and vk_wall_post (create).
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?
Description explicitly advises using it to 're-read a post you already know about', giving clear context. It does not explicitly list exclusions, but the sibling set implies alternatives for listing or deleting.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
vk_wall_postPublish a postA
Publish a post on a wall. To post in a community, set owner_id to the community ID with a minus sign (-123) and from_group true, otherwise it appears as your personal post on the community wall. Attach media with the attachment string that vk_photos_upload_wall returns. Returns the new post_id.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| guid | No | Unique identifier to prevent duplicate posts | |
| message | Yes | Post text content | |
| owner_id | No | Wall owner: a community as a negative number (-123), a person as a positive one. Defaults to the token owner. | |
| from_group | No | Post on behalf of community | |
| attachments | No | Comma-separated attachments (e.g. photo123_456,link) | |
| publish_date | No | Unix timestamp for scheduled post (must be within 2 weeks) |
Output Schema
| Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| post_id | Yes | ID of the published post |

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false (mutation), destructiveHint=false, idempotentHint=false. The description adds value by explaining idempotency prevention via 'guid' parameter, the behavior of posting on behalf of community vs personal, and the return value (new post_id). No contradictions with annotations.
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 three sentences, front-loaded with the main action. Each sentence provides essential guidance without redundancy. No wasted words.
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 complexity (6 parameters, 1 required) and presence of an output schema, the description covers key scenarios: community vs personal posting, attachment handling, scheduling. Returns important info (post_id). Rate limits or permissions are not discussed, but annotations and context signals (destructiveHint=false) partially address safety. Overall complete for selection and invocation.
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?
Schema coverage is 100% with descriptions for all 6 parameters. The description adds critical semantic context: the meaning of negative owner_id with from_group, the source of attachment strings (vk_photos_upload_wall), and the scheduling constraint (publish_date within 2 weeks via schema). This goes beyond raw schema definitions.
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 clearly states the action ('Publish a post on a wall') and specifies the resource ('a wall'). It distinguishes from siblings like vk_wall_get, vk_wall_delete, vk_wall_edit, vk_wall_create_comment by focusing on posting. Additional details on community vs personal posting further clarify scope.
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 explicit guidance for posting in a community (owner_id with minus sign and from_group true) and for attaching media via vk_photos_upload_wall. It does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternatives, but the context is sufficient for typical use cases. Lacks explicit 'when-not-to-use' but still strong.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Scored across 19 tools
Each tool targets a unique resource-action combination with no overlap. For example, vk_wall_delete, vk_wall_post, and vk_wall_edit are clearly distinct wall operations.
All tools follow the consistent pattern vk_<resource>_<action> in snake_case, making them predictable and easy to navigate.
19 tools cover a broad range of VK functionalities without being excessive. The scope is well-scoped for a social media server.
The server covers major VK features like wall, users, groups, photos, and feeds. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no comment deletion, no messaging), but core workflows are well-supported.
