Implementation Reference

  • server.js:82-86 (handler)
    Generic stub handler for all tools including complete_omnifocus_task. Returns a placeholder message indicating this is an inspection stub and directs users to install the actual Pilot MCP on macOS.
    for (const [name, desc] of TOOLS) {
      server.tool(name, desc, {}, async () => ({
        content: [{ type: "text", text: "This is an inspection stub. Install Pilot MCP on macOS: npx -y local-mcp@latest setup" }],
      }));
    }
  • server.js:42-42 (registration)
    Tool name and description registration for complete_omnifocus_task in the TOOLS array.

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It correctly implies a mutation (state change to completed), but lacks details on reversibility, side effects (e.g., notifications), or what happens to the task after completion (archived, hidden, deleted, etc.).

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, efficient sentence with no wasted words. It is appropriately front-loaded with the action and resource, making it immediately scannable.

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?

Given the zero-parameter, simple-action design, the description meets minimum viability by stating the core function. However, it lacks explanation of how the specific task is targeted without input parameters (e.g., current selection, context) and omits return value information, though no output schema exists to supplement this.

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 input schema contains zero parameters. According to the scoring rules, 0 parameters establishes a baseline score of 4. The description does not need to compensate for missing schema documentation.

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 a specific verb phrase 'Mark...complete' and identifies the specific resource 'OmniFocus task'. It clearly distinguishes from siblings like 'complete_reminder' (different app) and 'create_omnifocus_task' (opposite action).

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 through the clear action verb, but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives like delete, or prerequisites such as needing to identify the task first. It relies on the agent inferring context from the tool name.

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