A multi-agent research system that performs deep research on user topics through coordinated web searches, document analysis, and synthesis using LangGraph and LangChain
Deep Research has 4 tools with minimal schema documentation and weak descriptions. tavily_search and think_tool have single-line descriptions (20-50 chars, below the 50-200 char baseline for LLM-optimized descriptions). ConductResearch and ResearchComplete lack parameter type definitions in visible code. No output schemas documented. No error handling guidance. Tool names lack clear verb-noun patterns (think_tool, ResearchComplete are vague). No evidence of input validation, permission gates, or audit trails. This is a D-tier server: major gaps in schema completeness, description quality, and error handling.
Tool for delegating a research task to a specialized sub-agent
Tool for indicating that the research process is complete
For conducting web searches to gather information
For reflection and strategic planning during research
ResearchComplete has empty input schema (no parameters). Tool definition is inferred from file path, not explicitly visible in code.
Descriptions are too short (20-50 chars vs 50-200 baseline). think_tool ('For reflection...') and tavily_search ('For conducting...') lack context on WHEN to use, WHAT it returns, and dependencies. LLMs cannot reliably select these tools.
No output schemas documented. Agents cannot plan downstream calls or extract required fields. tavily_search should document result structure (title, url, content, etc.); ConductResearch should document what the sub-agent returns.
Tool names lack clear verb-noun patterns. 'think_tool' is generic and vague (does it think, plan, reflect?). 'ResearchComplete' is a noun phrase, not an action. Should be 'complete_research' or 'mark_research_complete'.

No error handling guidance. If tavily_search fails (rate limit, no results, API error), the agent has no recovery path. No categorization of retryable vs fatal errors.
