This server has basic tool definitions with clear naming and mostly adequate schemas, but lacks depth in parameter descriptions, output schema documentation, and error handling guidance. All four tools follow verb_noun naming conventions (search_, get_, filter_). Schemas are present and properly structured with JSON Schema types. However, parameter descriptions are minimal (most under 50 chars), output schemas are not documented, and error responses do not guide the LLM on recovery actions. The brewery.py implementation wraps exceptions into generic error objects without actionable error messages. Descriptions are serviceable but lack the context that would help LLMs distinguish these tools from similar discovery tools or understand when to use them.

• Document output schemas for all tools. Add a 'returns' section to each tool definition describing the field structure. Example: 'Returns a list of brewery objects with fields: id (string), name (string), type (string), city (string), state (string), website_url (string or null). If the query fails, returns an error object with an error_message field and a suggestion field listing alternative searches.'
• Replace raw error objects with actionable error messages. In brewery.py, catch RequestException and return {"error": {"code": "external_service_error", "message": "OpenBreweryDB is unreachable", "next_step": "Retry this search, or use filter_breweries_by_type to browse by type instead.", "retryable": true}}. This guides the LLM on whether to retry, ask the user, or try a different tool.
• Expand tool descriptions with clear use-case guidance. For search_breweries, change description to: 'Search for breweries by name or keyword. Use this when you have a brewery name or style keyword (e.g., "dog brewery" or "IPA"). For location-based discovery, use get_breweries_by_city or filter_breweries_by_type instead.' This helps LLMs pick the right tool.
• Document pagination and result limits. Update get_breweries_by_city description to: 'Find up to 10 breweries in a specific city. Returns the first 10 results. To retrieve more, use search_breweries with a city-specific keyword.'
• Clarify optional parameter behavior. For filter_breweries_by_type.city, state: 'Optional. If provided, filters results to the specified city. If omitted, returns breweries of the specified type across all locations. Limit: 100 results.'
