MCP server for managing Business Central Docker containers — inspired by bc-docker-manager VS Code extension
45 tools with consistent naming (verb_noun pattern) and descriptions present. However, critical gaps: (1) Input schemas visible for ~30 tools but many lack complete parameter descriptions, e.g., create_container has 9 params but descriptions are minimal ('Container name', 'Docker image URI'); (2) Output schemas are NOT documented anywhere in source, no return type specs for any tool; (3) Error handling is absent, no recovery guidance, no categorization of retryable vs fatal errors; (4) No pagination support despite tools like list_containers, list_images, list_artifacts that could return large result sets; (5) Sensitive parameters (password, auth tokens) exposed as tool inputs rather than server-side injection. Tool names are clear and action-oriented, but parameter descriptions lack format constraints, ranges, and dependency documentation required by pattern:tool-description.

No output schemas documented for any of 45 tools. LLMs cannot plan downstream calls or extract required fields without knowing return structure.
Sensitive parameters (password, auth tokens) exposed as tool inputs. create_container accepts 'password' and 'auth' as parameters, these should be server-side injected via environment or vault, not passed by LLM.
No error handling guidance. Tools lack recovery hints, error categorization (retryable vs fatal), or actionable error messages. E.g., remove_container has no confirmation or dry-run option despite being destructive.

List tools (list_containers, list_images, list_artifacts, list_volumes, list_profiles) lack pagination parameters (limit, offset, cursor). Large result sets will blow context window.
Parameter descriptions lack format constraints and ranges. E.g., 'memory' in create_container is described as 'Memory allocation (e.g., '8G')' but no validation rules, min/max, or allowed units documented.
