Async CRUD operations MCP server with daemon service and file watcher support
Server has 23 tools with complete input schemas and descriptions present for all. Naming follows verb_noun convention (async_read, async_write, async_delete). However, descriptions are generic and lack LLM-optimized guidance on WHEN to use each tool vs. alternatives. Parameter descriptions exist but are minimal (avg ~40 chars vs. baseline 72). No output schemas documented. Error handling is present but lacks recovery guidance. Batch tools (async_batch_read, async_batch_update, async_batch_write) are well-composed, but transaction tools (async_commit, async_amend, async_abort, async_txn_status) lack context on transaction lifecycle and prerequisites.
Abort a transaction and discard pending changes
Amend the last committed transaction
Append content to file with optional file creation and separator support
Read multiple files in a single batch operation
Update multiple files in a single batch operation
Write multiple files in a single batch operation
Commit a transaction with all pending changes
Delete a file or directory
Output schemas not documented. Tools return ToolResult with TextContent but LLMs cannot infer response structure (fields, types, pagination). This forces agents to parse unstructured output and risks hallucination.
Transaction tool descriptions lack lifecycle context. async_commit, async_amend, async_abort, async_txn_status do not explain when to call each, what state transitions are valid, or how to recover from errors. LLMs cannot reason about transaction flow.
Descriptions are generic and do not guide LLM selection. 'Read file contents with encoding support' does not explain when to use async_read vs async_batch_read, or what happens on missing files. Baseline is 50-200 chars with WHEN/WHY context.

No error recovery guidance. Tools return errors but do not tell LLMs what to do next (retry, ask user, try alternative tool). E.g., 'File not found' should suggest 'Try async_search() to locate the file.'
Batch tools lack per-item error reporting. async_batch_read, async_batch_update, async_batch_write do not specify whether they return per-item success/failure or fail entirely on one error. This prevents agents from handling partial failures.
