Sovereign creator MCP: BYOK image/video/audio generation, taste scoring, provenance ledger and human-gated publishing on your own machine. The substrate brand packs build on.
Starlight Creator MCP has 16 tools with basic naming conventions (verb_noun pattern mostly followed), but critical gaps in schema visibility and parameter documentation. Tool descriptions are present but generic (avg ~60 chars, well below the 194-char baseline). No visible input schemas in provided source code, cannot verify parameter types, constraints, or output structures. Error handling and recovery guidance absent. Security considerations for irreversible operations (creator_publish) not evident. Composition is reasonable (tools are single-purpose), but lack of schema documentation and parameter descriptions severely limits LLM usability.

Ingest publication metrics from various sources
No input schemas visible in source code. Cannot verify parameter types, constraints, enums, or descriptions. All 16 tools score 0 on schema dimension.
Tool descriptions are generic and under 60 characters on average (baseline 194 chars). Descriptions lack WHAT/WHEN/WHY context needed for LLM tool selection. E.g., 'Generate images using configured providers' does not explain when to use this vs other generation tools, what parameters control quality/style, or what the output contains.

Irreversible operation 'creator_publish' (RISK: IRREVERSIBLE) lacks confirmation/dry-run pattern. No evidence of approval workflow, rollback capability, or error recovery guidance. Agents could publish without safeguards.
No error handling or recovery guidance visible. Tools do not document what errors are retryable, user-fixable, or fatal. LLMs cannot determine next steps on failure.
Output schemas not documented. LLMs cannot plan downstream tool calls or extract required fields (e.g., job_id from generation tools, asset_id from asset queries). Breaks tool chaining.
