Smart Shell MCP Server

by mr-wolf-gb

Translate a raw command for this OS

translateCommand

Translates generic shell commands to match the current operating system, enabling cross-platform script compatibility.

Instructions

Show how a generic command would be adapted for the current OS

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
rawCommandYes
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided. The description implies it 'shows' adaptation, suggesting no side effects, but does not explicitly state it is read-only or non-destructive.

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?

Single sentence with no filler words. Perfectly concise for the purpose.

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 simple schema and no output schema, the description is adequate but does not explain output format or error handling. Could be more complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Parameter rawCommand has no description in schema, and the tool description adds no extra meaning (e.g., format examples, constraints). Coverage is 0%.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool translates/adapts a generic command for the current OS. It distinguishes from siblings like executeCommand which actually run commands.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this vs sibling tools. The agent is left to infer that this is a preview without execution, but no explicit when/when-not.

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