ERPNext MCP Server

run_method

Call any whitelisted ERPNext server method by providing the dotted method path and optional keyword arguments. Supports GET or POST requests to invoke automated workflows or document operations.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided; description only says 'Call a server-side method' without disclosing side effects, permissions, error behavior, or destructive potential. For a method invocation tool, this is a significant gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence of 8 words is concise and front-loaded. Could be more informative without sacrificing brevity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool can invoke arbitrary methods with no output schema or error handling description. Given complexity, description is insufficient for safe and correct usage.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Schema covers all three parameters with descriptions (100% coverage). Description adds 'whitelisted API' context but no additional parameter details. Schema already explains method format and defaults.

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?

Description states 'Call a server-side method (whitelisted API)', clearly indicating the action and resource. It distinguishes from sibling CRUD tools by focusing on arbitrary method invocation, though 'whitelisted API' is vague.

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 vs alternatives like run_report or document-specific tools. Agent must infer from context that this is for non-CRUD methods.

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