Loading ToolBench
MCP control plane: local server, tool and skill discovery, capability bundles, dashboard, policy audits, MCP profile resolution and config generation, plus a policy-gated, audited gateway that lists and invokes tools on backend MCP servers the host has not loaded
36 tools with mostly complete schemas and descriptions, but significant quality gaps. All tools have descriptions (10-200 chars, baseline 194), and input schemas are present with type definitions. However, descriptions are often generic or lack actionable context for LLM selection. Many tools accept path/root parameters that should be optional with sensible defaults. No tool annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint) despite 34 READ_ONLY and 2 WRITE tools. Error handling is absent, no recovery guidance, no actionable error messages. Output schemas are not documented. Parameter descriptions exist but lack format constraints, ranges, or dependency hints. Composition is weak: many tools operate on the same resources (profiles, servers, bundles) without clear differentiation or chaining support.

Get detailed information about a specific resource from the inventory
Get detailed information about a specific stack
No tool annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint) despite clear risk classification. 34 READ_ONLY and 2 WRITE tools lack machine-readable safety hints.
Output schemas not documented. Tools like list_resources, describe_resource, scan_local_server_tools return structured data but LLMs cannot see the response schema to plan downstream calls.
Many tools accept optional path/root parameters (mcpRoot, profileRoot, stacksRoot, etc.) without defaults. LLMs must pass these explicitly every call, wasting tokens and inviting omission errors.

Summarize policy audit findings
No error handling or recovery guidance. Tools lack actionable error messages. E.g., if a profile is not found, no suggestion of available profiles. If a tool scan times out, no guidance on retry or timeout adjustment.
Descriptions are generic and lack LLM-optimized context. E.g., 'List all available MCP profiles' does not explain WHEN to call this vs resolve_mcp_profile, or what structure is returned. Baseline is 194 chars; most here are 50-60 chars.
