Tool Schema Changelog

Recent tool additions, removals, and schema changes observed during successful MCP inspections.

    TDQS

    B3.4/5.0

    Scored across 50 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct combination of resource and action. Descriptions clearly differentiate between similar operations like disabling execution vs. disabling schedule, or getting job details vs. job metadata vs. job forecast.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow the consistent pattern 'rundeck_<verb>_<noun>' in snake_case, with no mixing of styles or irregular names.

    Tool Count2/5

    50 tools is far above the typical 3-15 range for well-scoped servers. While Rundeck is a comprehensive platform, this many tools feels excessive for a single MCP server; many operations could be consolidated.

    Completeness3/5

    The tool surface covers most major Rundeck features but has notable gaps: no direct create_job or update_job (only import/export), no user creation/deletion, and no ad-hoc command execution. The set is functional but not fully complete.
