v0.1.19Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It accurately states the tool returns the version, implying a safe read operation with no side effects. No additional context like auth requirements or rate limits is given, but the simplicity of the tool makes this acceptable.
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 sentence, front-loaded with the key information. No superfluous words, every part earns its place.
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?
Given the tool has zero parameters and no output schema, the description fully covers what the tool does. It leaves no ambiguity for the agent about the purpose and result.
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 tool has zero parameters and schema description coverage is 100%. According to guidelines, 0 parameters baseline is 4. The description adds no parameter information, but none is needed.
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 clearly states the tool returns the currently running version of the Claudit MCP server, using a specific verb ('Returns') and resource ('currently running version'). It clearly distinguishes from siblings like 'get_filter_options' and 'search_findings' which deal with filtering/searching, not version info.
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 explicit when-to-use or when-not-to guidance is provided, but for a simple version retrieval tool the context is clear. The description implies it should be used when the agent needs to know the server version, and no alternatives are mentioned. Lacks explicit exclusions but is adequate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
