The Quip MCP server provides 8 well-named tools with consistent verb-starting naming conventions (read_*, search_*, append_*, prepend_*, replace_*, create_*, get_*). However, critical gaps in schema completeness, parameter descriptions, and output documentation significantly limit definition quality. While tool names are clear and descriptions exist for tools themselves, most parameter descriptions are minimal, and output schemas are completely undocumented. Error handling returns generic error strings rather than structured, actionable guidance. The server lands in the 'Fair' (C) range due to these documentation gaps, though naming discipline and basic structure prevent a lower score.

• Document the output schema for every tool. Specify return type (string, JSON object, array), field names, types, and examples. E.g., search_documents should return: {results: [{thread_id: string, title: string, ...}], total_count: number, error?: string}.
• Expand parameter descriptions to 50-100 characters. Include format hints, length constraints, and examples. E.g., thread_id: 'A Quip document ID (alphanumeric, 12-20 chars, e.g. thread_abc123def456)'. content: 'Markdown text to append (max 50,000 chars, supports bold, italic, links, lists)'.
• Replace generic error returns with actionable recovery guidance. Instead of 'Error: Not found', return 'Document thread_id=XYZ not found. Try search_documents(query=document_title) to locate it, or verify the ID is correct.'
• Add a confirmation step for destructive operations. Create a 'preview_edit' or 'simulate_edit' mode that shows the diff before committing. Or return structured {status: 'pending_confirmation', preview: ...} and require the LLM to call confirm_edit().
• Clarify the mutual differences in append_content, prepend_content, and replace_content descriptions. E.g., 'Use append_content to add to the end (preserves existing content), prepend_content to add to the beginning, or replace_content to overwrite all content.' Include warnings about data loss for replace_content.
• Document pagination and limits explicitly. State that search_documents returns up to 'count' results (max 100) and provide total_count and pagination tokens in the response. Explain when results are truncated.
