Get Server Info

server_info
Read-onlyIdempotent

Report this MCP server's identity and health: name, version, build commit, config DB schema version, and drift warnings; a reachability smoke-check after connect or restart.

Instructions

Report this SERVER's own identity and health: name, version, build commit, the config DB's schema version, and drift warnings about the server binary. Needs no session - a reachability smoke-check.

Call it first after connecting and after an update or restart: the commit answers the question the version number cannot - 'is the binary I am talking to built from the code I just landed?'. It says nothing about a solution's configuration (solution_config_status: what is active; check_solution_config_drift: does it still fit the code), about which tools exist (list_skills) or about how they were used (usage_report).

Returns plain text, not JSON. Line 1 is the identity: 'aicb MCP server (AIContextBuilder) v (commit )'. Compare the commit against git rev-parse HEAD (the full sha is reported, so a short hash is a prefix of it): one version number can cover DIFFERENT builds. A build with no resolvable git revision omits the commit. 'Config DB schema: user_version=N ()' follows when a config DB is resolved.

Then, only when they apply: ANALYZER DRIFT - this build's commit against the HEAD of the repo holding the analyzed solution; it also reports in-sync and ahead, and is silent without an analyzed session and on a repo that does not know this commit (any foreign solution). SCHEMA DRIFT - the config DB's schema is newer than this binary: rebuild or reinstall. PENDING MIGRATION - the reverse: the DB is older; the line says how to migrate it. TOOL POOL DRIFT - the active profile lists tools this binary does not register: a newer build wrote it (rebuild or reinstall) or the tool was retired (re-save the profile). That check is tool-NAME level; a new parameter on an existing tool is not detected, the commit is the finer signal. CONFIG DRIFT - the active MCP profile changed since this server started: restart or reconnect to load the current tools and instructions.

Read-only: it reads the config DB's schema version and, for the analyzer line, queries git in the analyzed solution's repository.

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations cover the safety profile (readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world), and the description adds substantial behavioral context beyond that: it needs no session, is a reachability smoke-check, returns plain text not JSON, documents the exact line-1 format, and explains exactly when each drift line appears or stays silent. This is rich operational detail that annotations cannot express.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the purpose and usage in the first sentence, but the body is dense and grows into a long enumeration of drift lines and format rules. Each sentence carries content, yet the whole is closer to a reference block than a tightly edited summary, which hurts scanability.

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 zero-parameter, no-output-schema tool and an idempotent read-only annotation set, the description covers everything needed: why to call it, what it returns, every drift line's meaning and firing condition, and the exact text format to parse. Nothing material is missing for an agent to invoke and interpret it correctly.

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 takes zero parameters, so the baseline per rubric is 4. The description does not invent any parameter discussion, which is correct, and its complete output-format documentation compensates fully for the absent parameters.

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?

Opens with a specific verb+resource ("Report this SERVER's own identity and health") and enumerates exactly what is returned: name, version, build commit, config DB schema version, drift warnings. It explicitly distinguishes itself from siblings (solution_config_status, check_solution_config_drift, list_skills, usage_report) by naming what it does NOT cover.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Gives explicit when-to-use: "Call it first after connecting and after an update or restart," plus the specific question it answers that the version number cannot. Names sibling alternatives (solution_config_status, check_solution_config_drift, list_skills, usage_report) and the boundary of what each covers, so routing is unambiguous.

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