Redfish MCP Server

by carlosedp

redfish_get_sensors

Query sensor readings for any system to monitor hardware health, including temperature, fans, and power, by specifying the system ID and optional sensor type.

Instructions

Get sensor readings for a specific system

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
system_idYes
sensor_typeNoAll
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description only states a read operation (Get), but doesn't disclose return format, error behavior, or auth needs.

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?

Single sentence, no redundancy, front-loaded with the main action.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Minimal description misses essential context like output structure, sensor_type options, and behavior for missing systems; no output schema or annotations.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%; the description hints at system_id via 'specific system' but doesn't explain sensor_type or its default 'All'.

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 uses the verb 'Get' with resource 'sensor readings' and scope 'specific system', clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like health status or power consumption.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool instead of alternatives; no mention of sensor_type filtering or prerequisites.

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