RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) MCP server for document processing and intelligent querying with vector embeddings
The RAG Document Server has 8 tools with consistent naming patterns (verb_noun structure: query_documents, upload_document, list_documents, delete_document, get_document_info, get_stats, generate_response, clear_all_data). All tools have descriptions (10-150 chars, within baseline range). However, there are critical gaps: (1) Parameter descriptions are present but often generic ('The question to search for' without context on expected format or length). (2) Output schemas are not formally documented, the code returns Dict[str, Any] with ad-hoc fields like 'success', 'results', 'error'. The actual response structure cannot be reliably inferred by an LLM planning downstream tool calls. (3) No enum constraints on the 'citation_style' parameter in generate_response (should be enum: 'inline', 'numbered', 'academic'). (4) Destructive operations (delete_document, clear_all_data) lack confirmation/dry-run patterns and do not guide recovery. (5) Error handling returns 'success: False' with an error message, but does not categorize errors as retryable, user-fixable, or fatal. (6) No pagination support on list_documents despite potential for large result sets. (7) Tool descriptions do not explain when to use query_documents vs generate_response (both answer questions but with different outputs, the distinction is unclear). (8) The upload_document 'force' parameter defaults to false, which is safe, but lacks explanation of what 'duplicate detection' means.
Clear all data from the knowledge base (both SQLite and vector store).
Delete a document from the knowledge base.
Generate a response to a question with source attribution and citations.
Get detailed information about a specific document.
Get knowledge base statistics.
List all documents in the knowledge base.
Query documents using vector similarity search.
Destructive tools (delete_document, clear_all_data) lack confirmation/dry-run patterns and recovery guidance. Agents can irreversibly delete data without safeguards.
Output schemas are not formally documented. All tools return Dict[str, Any] with ad-hoc fields ('success', 'results', 'error', etc.). LLMs cannot reliably plan downstream tool calls without knowing response structure.
No enum constraint on citation_style parameter in generate_response. Should declare ['inline', 'numbered', 'academic'] as enumerated options, not free-form strings.

Upload and process a document into the knowledge base.
list_documents has no pagination support (limit, offset, cursor). If knowledge base grows large, returning all documents at once will exhaust context windows.
Error handling does not categorize errors or guide recovery. A 'document not found' error should suggest calling list_documents or search_documents. Generic error responses leave agents stuck.
Ambiguous tool distinction: query_documents (search only) vs generate_response (search + LLM response). Neither description explains when to use one vs the other, forcing LLMs to guess.
Parameter descriptions lack format constraints and ranges. 'limit' parameter should specify min=1, max=100. 'file_path' should clarify relative vs absolute, accepted extensions.
