Veeam VBR v13 MCP Server

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden but only states 'Remove a KMS server' without behavioral details. It doesn't disclose whether this is destructive (likely yes, but not confirmed), requires specific permissions, has side effects, or provides confirmation/error responses. For a deletion tool with zero annotation coverage, this is inadequate.

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 a single, efficient sentence with no wasted words. It's appropriately front-loaded with the core action, making it easy to parse quickly.

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 deletion tool with no annotations, no output schema, and minimal parameter documentation, the description is incomplete. It doesn't address critical aspects like confirmation behavior, error conditions, or what happens to associated resources, leaving significant gaps for safe tool 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?

The input schema has 1 parameter with 0% description coverage, but the description doesn't add any parameter information. It doesn't explain what 'id' represents (e.g., server identifier, name) or format requirements. However, with only one parameter, the baseline is 4, but the lack of any parameter context in the description reduces it to 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?

The description 'Remove a KMS server' clearly states the action (remove) and resource (KMS server), providing specific purpose. However, it doesn't differentiate from sibling tools like DeleteManagedServer or DeleteRepository, which follow similar naming patterns for different resources.

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?

No guidance is provided about when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description doesn't mention prerequisites (e.g., whether the KMS server must be inactive), exclusions, or related tools like UpdateKMSServer or GetAllKMSServers that might be used first.

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