Server has 8 tools with explicit schemas and descriptions, but quality is inconsistent. Tool names follow verb_noun convention (search, remember, forget, stats, propose, write). Descriptions are present but brief (avg ~80 chars, below 194-char baseline). Schemas include types and descriptions for most parameters. However, critical gaps: no output schemas documented, no error handling guidance, no pagination support for search results, no parameter constraints (enums), and destructive operations (forget, write_skill) lack confirmation patterns. STDIO transport caps protocol readiness at 50.

• Document output schemas for all tools. E.g., hermes_codex_search should return {results: [{id, content, kind, scope, tags}], total_count, next_cursor}. This enables LLMs to chain results to downstream tools.
• Add pagination support: replace 'limit' with 'limit' (1-100, default 20) + 'offset' or 'cursor'. Return total_count and next_cursor so agents can iterate large result sets without context explosion.
• Implement confirmation pattern for destructive ops: hermes_codex_forget should return {status: 'confirm_required', id, preview} and require a separate confirm_forget(id, confirmation_token) call.
• Add enum constraints to 'kind' (e.g., 'memory'|'task'|'rule'|'decision') and 'scope' (e.g., 'global'|'project'|'session') parameters. Replace free-form strings with validated choices.
• Enhance error messages with recovery guidance. E.g., 'Memory entry not found (id=123). Try hermes_codex_search() to find entries by content.' instead of raw exceptions.
