Single tool 'calculate' has a complete input schema with proper types and descriptions for all three parameters (operation, x, y). Tool description is present but minimal (23 chars). Schema is well-formed with required fields and type constraints. However, the description lacks context about when to use this tool, what it returns, or error handling guidance. No output schema is documented. Error handling for division by zero exists in code but is not reflected in the tool definition or description. Parameter 'operation' lacks an enum constraint despite accepting only four specific values (add, subtract, multiply, divide), forcing LLMs to guess valid options.
Performs basic arithmetic
Parameter 'operation' lacks enum constraint. Accepts only 'add', 'subtract', 'multiply', 'divide' but is defined as free-form string, inviting hallucinated values.
Tool description is 23 characters, below the 50-char minimum for LLM clarity. Does not explain WHEN to use this tool, WHAT it returns, or error conditions.
Output schema is not documented. LLMs cannot plan downstream operations or know what fields to expect from the result.
Division by zero error handling exists in code but is not mentioned in tool description or parameter constraints. LLMs cannot anticipate this failure mode.

Parameter descriptions are minimal. 'The arithmetic operation to perform' is generic; should specify valid values and consequences (e.g., 'divide by zero returns error').
