Giant Bomb MCP has critical gaps in parameter documentation and output schema specification. All 7 tools have names and basic descriptions, but parameter descriptions are entirely missing (0/7 tools have param docs). Input schemas are present but lack descriptions for most parameters. No output schemas are documented. Error handling is minimal. The server follows a basic verb_noun pattern (search, game, games, character, companies, releases, platforms) but lacks the depth needed for production use.

• Add descriptions to every parameter. Example: 'query' → 'Search term (required). E.g., "Halo" or "Mario Kart". Supports partial matches.' 'resources' → 'Comma-separated resource types to search. Valid: game, franchise, character, concept, object, location, person, company, video. Omit to search all.'
• Document output schemas for each tool. Specify what fields are returned (e.g., search returns {results: [{id, name, type, url}], total_count}). This enables LLMs to extract and chain data correctly.
• Remove _apiKey parameter fallback. Require API key via PLATFORM_GIANTBOMB_KEY environment variable only. If missing, return a clear error: 'Giant Bomb API key not configured. Set PLATFORM_GIANTBOMB_KEY environment variable (free at https://www.giantbomb.com/api/).'
• Enhance error messages with recovery guidance. Instead of 'Giant Bomb: 404', return 'Game not found. Try search() with a partial name, or verify the GUID/ID format (e.g., 3030-12345).'
• Add constraint documentation. Specify max limit values (e.g., 'limit: max 100'), required vs optional params, and enum values for filter/sort (e.g., 'sort: name, release_date, popularity').
