Journal-mcp has basic tool definitions with schemas and descriptions, but falls short of production quality. All 5 tools have names, descriptions, and input schemas present. However, descriptions are minimal (10-50 chars, well below the 194-char baseline), parameter descriptions are almost entirely absent (only 'date' and 'text' have any description), and output schemas are completely undocumented. No error handling guidance, no parameter validation hints, and no indication of which operations are destructive. The tool composition is reasonable (each does one thing), but the LLM-facing documentation is sparse.

• Add 50-150 character descriptions to every parameter. E.g., 'date: ISO 8601 date string (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today if omitted.' for get_or_create_day_file.
• Expand tool descriptions to 100-200 chars. Explain WHAT the tool does, WHEN to use it, and what it returns. E.g., 'Append a timestamped thought to the Thoughts section of a journal file. Use this to record ideas, observations, or reflections. Returns confirmation message.'
• Document output schemas in tool descriptions or as a separate schema field. E.g., 'Returns JSON: {date: string, content: string}' for read_files.
• Add error handling guidance. E.g., 'If date is invalid, returns error with hint: "Invalid date format. Use ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD)."'
• Mark destructive tools (append_thought, update_section) with a note in the description: 'This operation modifies the journal file. Ensure the content is correct before calling.' Consider adding an optional dry_run parameter.
