Single tool with adequate schema but weak descriptions and no error handling. Tool name 'get_news' follows verb_noun convention (+). Input schema is present with proper types and enums for format parameter (+). However, tool description is generic (28 chars, below 34 char p10 baseline), lacks context on when to use it, and provides no guidance on output structure. Parameters lack depth: 'topic' description is minimal (19 chars), 'limit' has no range constraints, and no documentation of what fields are returned. No error handling, no recovery guidance, no output schema documentation. Mock data implementation means tool is non-functional in production. Composition is minimal (single tool) so no chaining concerns, but the tool itself is underdeveloped for agent use.

• Expand tool description to 100-150 chars: 'Fetch current news articles on a given topic. Returns articles in carousel (multiple) or card (single) format with title, source, timestamp, description, and URL. Use this to find recent news, trends, or breaking updates on any topic.'
• Add min/max constraints to 'limit' parameter: 'Number of articles to return (1-50, default 5). Limit is capped at 50 to avoid excessive token usage.'
• Document output schema in tool definition: 'Returns a list of article objects, each with: title (string), source (string), time (string), description (string), url (string), image (string). Formatted as HTML carousel or single card based on format parameter.'
• Integrate with a real news API (NewsAPI, Guardian API, etc.) and add error handling: catch API failures, rate limits, and timeouts. Return actionable errors like 'News API rate limit exceeded. Try again in 60 seconds.' instead of silent failures.
• Add parameter validation: reject topics with special characters, validate limit is 1-50, and return clear error messages for invalid inputs.

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