MCP Conductor

Server Quality Checklist

Profile completionA complete profile improves this server's visibility in search results.

Latest release: v3.1.1
Disambiguation5/5
Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose. Even similar tools like execute_code and passthrough_call are explicitly differentiated in their descriptions for efficient vs debugging use. No two tools appear to perform the same function.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tool names use snake_case and follow a consistent verb_noun or get_noun pattern (e.g., add_server, get_metrics, list_servers). The naming convention is uniform and predictable across all 24 tools.
Tool Count3/5
With 24 tools, the set is on the high side (16-25 being 'heavy' per rubric). While each tool serves a clear role, the count feels slightly bloated, especially with tools like brave_web_search that seem peripheral to the core conductor functionality.
Completeness4/5
The tool surface covers most expected operations: CRUD for server configuration, diagnostics, execution, metrics, recording/playback, mode switching, and import/export. A minor gap is the lack of a disable/enable tool for individual servers, but overall it is comprehensive.
Average 4.1/5 across 24 of 24 tools scored. Lowest: 3.4/5.

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

Behavior3/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, so safety is clear. Description adds no extra behavior details but does not contradict.
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?
Single sentence, efficient and minimal; though some detail on parameters would improve without much verbosity.
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?
Simple tool with output schema; purpose is clear but misses explanation of the optional parameter and its effect on the output.
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 coverage is 100% with parameter description; description does not add any additional meaning or context for the include_tools parameter.
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?
Description clearly states the verb 'list' and resource 'all MCP servers connected through MCP Executor', distinguishing it from sibling tools like add_server, remove_server, etc.
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 vs alternatives like add_server or diagnose_server; no context provided.
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?
Annotations claim readOnlyHint and idempotentHint are true, suggesting no state modification. However, the parameter 'reset' explicitly resets metrics, which is a destructive action. The description does not disclose this behavior, creating a significant gap in transparency.
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, front-loaded sentence that immediately conveys the tool's purpose. It is concise but omits important details about parameters and side effects, which prevents a perfect score.
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?
While output schema exists and parameters are simple, the tool has a side-effect via the 'reset' parameter that is not described. This omission reduces completeness, especially given the annotations conflict.
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% with clear parameter descriptions (reset, include_details). The description adds some context about metric categories but does not significantly augment the schema's meaning. Baseline 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 the tool retrieves 'detailed aggregated metrics for the current session' and specifies the types of metrics included (token savings, performance, usage patterns). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_memory_stats or get_hot_paths, which focus on different scopes.
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?
The description implicitly indicates usage for current session aggregated metrics. It does not explicitly mention when not to use it or suggest alternatives, but the context is clear enough for an agent to infer appropriate use cases.
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 annotations already indicating write operation (readOnlyHint=false) and non-idempotency (idempotentHint=false), the description adds minimal behavioral context—it does not explain what happens if called multiple times or whether it stops a previous recording. The description text is acceptable but not enhanced beyond annotation signals.
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 a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the purpose. No unnecessary words; every part earns its place.
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?
Given the tool's low complexity (one optional parameter, no required arguments, output schema exists), the description is sufficient. The term 'replay journal' could be clarified but is likely defined elsewhere; overall, the description covers the essential behavior.
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 coverage is 100% with the parameter well-described in the schema. The description does not add further semantic detail about the parameter, so a 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 the action ('Start recording'), the resource ('all tool calls in the current session'), and the output ('to a replay journal'). It distinguishes from siblings like 'replay_session' and 'stop_recording' which have different purposes.
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?
The description does not provide any guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'replay_session' or 'stop_recording'. No context about prerequisites or appropriate scenarios is 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?
Annotations declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveness is not indicated. The description adds that the tool 'finalises the replay journal', implying a state change beyond just stopping. However, no details are given about side effects, permissions, or error conditions, which would be valuable given the mutation.
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 a single sentence that conveys the tool's purpose efficiently with no redundant words. Every part earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
For a simple tool with one required parameter and an existing output schema, the description fully covers the tool's purpose and outcome. It is complete enough for effective invocation, especially given that annotations already provide behavioral hints.
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 coverage is 100% with the parameter 'sessionId' described as 'Session ID returned by record_session.' The description does not add any additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides, so baseline 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 the verb 'stop' and the resource 'active recording session', and specifies the outcome 'finalise the replay journal'. It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like 'record_session' and 'replay_session' by focusing on termination of an active session.
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?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., when to stop vs. replay). It does not mention prerequisites, conditions, or exclusions, leaving the agent to infer context from the name alone.
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?
Adds value beyond annotations by noting token efficiency (90% fewer tokens) and configuration requirements. Annotations already provide readOnly and openWorld hints, so description complements 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.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Three sentences, each adding essential information: purpose with efficiency claim, internal routing, and configuration prerequisite. No unnecessary words.
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?
Given the presence of an output schema, the description is sufficiently complete, covering purpose, efficiency, routing, and setup. Could mention result format but not required.
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 coverage is 100%, and description does not add new parameter information beyond what schema already provides. Baseline score applies.
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?
Description clearly states 'Web search via Brave Search API' and distinguishes from 'native WebSearch', making the purpose specific and differentiating.
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 explicit when/when-not guidance or alternatives are given. Mentions token efficiency but does not direct the agent on when to choose this tool over siblings.
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?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, indicating safe, read-only behavior. Description adds context that search is across all connected servers, which is beyond schema. No contradictions.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Conciseness5/5
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Single sentence, no wasted words. Front-loaded with key purpose. Well-structured.
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?
Has output schema, so explaining return values is less critical. Description is adequate for a search tool with well-documented parameters. Could mention search behavior (fuzzy, exact) but not necessary given schema coverage.
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 coverage is 100% with clear parameter descriptions. The tool description does not add additional 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.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states 'Search for available tools across all connected MCP servers.' The verb 'Search' and resource 'tools across servers' are specific and differentiate from siblings like list_servers or get_capabilities.
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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like list_servers or get_capabilities. The description implies search usage but doesn't provide when-to-use or when-not-to-use context.
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?
Annotations already provide readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds concrete behavioral details: it returns top-K paths sorted by latency/p99/callCount within a rolling window. This goes beyond annotations without contradicting them.
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, well-structured sentence with no extraneous words. Information is front-loaded: verb, resource, key qualifiers.
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?
With output schema present, description need not detail return values. It covers the essential behavioral scope (time window, sorting). Could mention that sinceMs defines the rolling window, but not necessary for agent consumption.
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 has 100% description coverage for all 3 parameters. Description adds minimal context ('top-K', 'rolling time window') but does not meaningfully enhance understanding 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.
Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly states the verb 'Return', the resource 'top-K tool call paths', and the sorting criteria 'by total latency or p99'. It also specifies the time context 'within a rolling time window', distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_metrics or get_memory_stats.
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 explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It does not mention prerequisites, exclusions, or when not to use it, leaving the agent without context for tool selection among siblings.
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?
Annotations already declare idempotentHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. The description adds behavioral context about the heuristic patterns and the apply flag writing to config, but does not contradict annotations. It lacks details on destruction or side effects beyond the config write, but the idempotent nature mitigates concerns.
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 sentences, each carrying essential information: main action, pattern logic, and apply behavior. It is front-loaded and concise, with no filler or redundancy. Every sentence earns its place.
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?
Given the moderate complexity, 100% schema coverage, and presence of an output schema, the description adequately covers the tool's behavior: heuristic, default action, and persistence option. It could mention that omitting server_name applies to all servers, but this is in the schema. Overall, it is sufficiently complete for correct invocation.
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?
The input schema covers both parameters with descriptions, so schema_description_coverage is 100%. The description reinforces the optionality of server_name and the effect of apply=true, but does not add new semantic meaning beyond what the schema provides. Baseline 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 the tool applies the X1 routing heuristic to servers, classifying them as 'passthrough' or 'execute_code'. It uses a specific verb and resource ('Apply X1 routing heuristic to one or all configured servers') and distinguishes itself from sibling tools like execute_code and passthrough_call by focusing on routing recommendations.
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 usage for evaluating routing between passthrough and execute_code, and provides a conditional logic based on server names. However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it, leaving some ambiguity for the agent.

Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint, so the description doesn't need to restate those. The description adds that the tool returns 'detailed information,' which conveys a non-destructive, repeatable behavior. No further behavioral traits are necessary for this simple, parameterless tool.
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 a single, well-structured sentence that conveys the purpose without extraneous words. It is front-loaded and efficient.
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?
Given the tool has no parameters, strong annotations (readOnly, idempotent), and an output schema, the description is largely complete. It could briefly note that capabilities are returned, but the output schema likely covers that detail, making the description adequate.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Parameters4/5
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The tool has zero parameters, and schema coverage is 100% (trivially). Per guidelines, baseline is 4 for no parameters. The description adds no parameter details, which is appropriate since none exist.

Behavior4/5
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the description adds value by specifying that predictions are 'based on historical samples for similar call patterns'. This gives context beyond annotations, though it could disclose limitations like accuracy depending on data.
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 sentence with no redundancy, but it could be slightly more structured (e.g., separating purpose from method). Still, it's concise and front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the tool's complexity (one parameter, output schema present), the description is complete. It covers what the tool does and how it works, with no obvious gaps.
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?
The parameter 'code' is fully described in the schema (100% coverage), and the description adds only the context of historical samples, not additional semantics for the parameter. Baseline 3 is appropriate since the schema does the heavy lifting.
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 the verb 'predict' and the resource 'token cost and latency of executing code', distinguishing it from siblings like execute_code or get_metrics. It answers what the tool does precisely.
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 usage for cost estimation before execution but provides no explicit when-to-use, when-not-to-use, or alternatives. It lacks guidance on when this tool is preferred over siblings.
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?
Annotations already indicate readOnly and idempotent; description adds detail on what is diagnosed and that it returns actionable information, no contradictions.
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 verb and resource, no wasted words.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Output schema exists, description covers purpose and key diagnostic areas, sufficient for an agent to invoke correctly.
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?
Only one parameter with 100% schema coverage; description's mention of 'registered MCP server' aligns with schema's 'must be in conductor config', but adds little new meaning beyond schema.
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 the tool diagnoses a registered MCP server and lists specific aspects checked (health, connection, errors, etc.), distinguishing it from siblings like test_server.
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?
Implied usage for troubleshooting failing servers, but no explicit when-to-use or when-to-avoid compared to sibling tools like test_server or get_metrics.
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?
Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, so the agent knows it changes state and is safe to reapply. The description adds that modes are switched but does not elaborate on side effects like whether ongoing operations are affected or if mode changes persist.
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 very concise: a single introductory sentence followed by a bullet list of three modes. Every sentence adds value, and the structure is front-loaded.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Completeness5/5
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given a single parameter with full enum documentation and an existing output schema (not shown but present), the description covers all necessary context: what the tool does, the available modes, and their use cases. No further information is needed for correct invocation.
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?
The input schema already documents the mode parameter with enum values and a clear description. The tool description merely repeats the enum values without adding extra semantic detail, so it does not significantly enhance schema coverage.

Purpose5/5
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool switches between operation modes, listing three specific modes. It distinguishes itself from siblings like compare_modes and recommend_routing by focusing on changing the mode, not comparing or routing.
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?
The description provides context for when each mode is appropriate (e.g., 'maximum token savings' for execution, 'debugging/comparison' for passthrough, 'automatic selection' for hybrid). However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare it to alternatives.
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?
Adds behavioral context beyond annotations by stating that updates trigger a reload. Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true and idempotentHint=true, and description does not contradict. Implicitly notes merge behavior for env vars.
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?
Two concise sentences that front-load purpose and then provide usage context. No unnecessary words.
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?
Covers key aspects: what can be updated, that it triggers reload, and a common use case. With an output schema present, return values are handled. Could mention that server must exist, but that is implied.
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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds marginal value by mentioning merge behavior for env and the replace_env option, but most parameter meaning is already in schema descriptions.
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 the verb 'update' and the resource 'MCP server's configuration', listing specific fields (command, args, env vars). It distinguishes itself from siblings like add_server and remove_server.
