Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
v0.1.0Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations, the description must cover behavioral traits. It states 'Disconnect' but omits details on side effects (e.g., whether it stops execution, closes connection, or requires target to be connected). This leaves ambiguity for an AI agent.
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 concise sentence with no unnecessary words. However, it lacks structure such as breaking down purpose and usage into separate statements.
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's simplicity, the description is barely adequate. It does not cover prerequisites, return value, or impact on the system. With no output schema and no parameter descriptions, the tool is underdocumented for effective use by an AI agent.
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 0% description coverage, and the tool description adds no information about the 'target' parameter (its meaning, allowed values, or the effect of the default 'ee'). The agent must guess what 'ee' refers to.
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?
Description provides a verb ('Disconnect') and resource ('GDB target'), clearly indicating the tool's action. It distinguishes from sibling 'connect' by implying the opposite operation. However, the phrase 'one GDB target' is slightly ambiguous due to the single parameter.
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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like 'connect' or other state-changing tools. The description does not mention prerequisites (e.g., must be connected) or scenarios where disconnecting is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
