ANEL exhibits significant definition quality gaps across all dimensions. Tool descriptions are present but generic (10-50 chars, well below the 50-200 char LLM-optimized baseline). Input schemas are partially visible but lack consistency: search/vsearch/query have proper JSON Schema with typed properties and descriptions, but anel_analyze, anel_fix, anel_analyze_dir, anel_verify, and anel_explain show only partial schema visibility in source. The 'status' tool has NO visible input schema. Parameter descriptions are sparse or missing entirely (e.g., anel_fix's 'rules' param lacks detail on what rules are available). No output schemas are documented. Error handling is not evident in the provided code. Tool naming follows verb_noun convention (search, get, analyze, fix) but lacks clarity on distinctions, three search variants (search, vsearch, query) risk LLM confusion without clear differentiation in descriptions. The anel_* tools appear to be code analysis/compliance helpers, but their relationship to the core search functionality is undocumented. Composition is weak: no evidence that tool outputs chain properly (e.g., does search return IDs that get accepts?). Security: anel_fix accepts a 'dryRun' parameter and can write files, but no permission gates or audit logging are visible in the snippet.

• Expand search/vsearch/query descriptions to 80-150 chars each, explicitly stating when to use each (e.g., 'Use for keyword-based search when you know exact terms; vsearch for semantic/intent-based search when terms are vague; query for best-of-both when unsure').
• Document status tool: add input schema (even if empty), expand description to explain what metrics/fields are returned, and provide sample output structure.
• For anel_fix, add explicit confirmation guidance: 'This tool modifies files. Always use dryRun=true first to preview changes. Requires explicit user approval before writing.' Add error recovery examples.
• Document output schemas for all tools. At minimum, specify: search/vsearch/query return [{id, title, score, snippet}]; get returns {content, lineCount}; anel_* tools return {status, details, errors}.
• Add parameter constraints: anel_fix 'rules' should list available rules (e.g., 'protocol-compliance, error-handling, naming-conventions') or accept 'all'; anel_analyze_dir 'extensions' should default to ['.go', '.rs', '.py', '.ts', '.js'] and document what each extension enables.

• Relies on Logging (deprecated) - log to stderr or use OpenTelemetry
