MCP Server for Byzantine Fault Tolerant Quorum Voting Skill - Pure Python Standard Library implementation of Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) style consensus. Guarantees safety and liveness across an agent swarm tolerating up to f faulty or adversarial nodes (N >= 3f + 1).
Single tool 'validate_quorum' has a reasonable description (156 chars, within 10-1024 range) but critical schema deficiencies. Input schema present but lacks proper type constraints and descriptions for all parameters. Parameter 'nodes' and 'byzantine_faults' are integers but have no min/max bounds documented, inviting invalid values (e.g., negative numbers, nodes < 3*f+1). The 'payload' parameter accepts 'object' type with no schema constraints, allowing arbitrary input. Output schema is completely undocumented, LLM cannot predict response structure. No error handling guidance; bare exception returns {'error': str(e)} without recovery hints. Tool name 'validate_quorum' is acceptable (verb_noun form) but description could clarify when to use it vs. other consensus tools. No parameter descriptions visible in schema, violates pattern:tool-description baseline (100% of A+ tools have param descriptions).
Executes Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus using Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) algorithm. Validates quorum voting across a cluster of nodes with configurable Byzantine fault tolerance.
Input schema lacks parameter descriptions and type constraints. 'nodes' and 'byzantine_faults' have no min/max bounds; 'payload' accepts unconstrained object. Violates pattern:constrained-input and pattern:tool-description.
Output schema completely undocumented. LLM cannot predict response structure (view, sequence, digest, quorum_size, etc.). Violates pattern:tool baseline (100% of A+ tools document return types).
Error handling returns bare exception strings without recovery guidance. 'Invalid input' or stack traces do not tell LLM what to do next. Violates pattern:recovery-guide.
No validation of PBFT precondition N >= 3f+1. LLM can pass nodes=2, byzantine_faults=1 (violates invariant). Tool should validate and return actionable error, not AssertionError.

Parameter 'payload' accepts arbitrary object with no schema. LLM cannot reason about valid payload structure. Should document expected fields or provide enum/pattern constraints.
