Proxychains MCP Server

by schwarztim

proxychains_config

Retrieve, update, or reset proxychains configuration including chain mode, DNS settings, and proxy list for routing network traffic through proxies.

Instructions

Get or set the current proxychains configuration including chain mode, DNS settings, and proxy list.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
actionYesAction to perform: get current config, set new config, or reset to defaults
configNoConfiguration object (required for 'set' action)
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so description must reveal behavioral traits. It only states get/set/reset but does not disclose side effects (overwriting, merging, persistence) or prerequisites. The action 'reset' is not explained beyond schema.

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 front-loaded action and resource, no unnecessary words. Efficiently conveys core functionality.

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?

Description covers basic purpose but does not explain output (get returns config), required parameters beyond action, or behavior of reset. With nested objects and no output schema, more detail would improve completeness.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds value by summarizing key config fields (chain mode, DNS, proxy list), helping agents understand the config object's purpose and contents.

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?

Description clearly states the tool's function with specific verb ('Get or set') and resource ('proxychains configuration'). It lists included aspects (chain mode, DNS, proxy list), distinguishing it from sibling tools like run or add.

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 tool versus alternatives (e.g., proxychains_mode, proxychains_dns). The description does not provide context for selection or exclusion.

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