Critical gaps across all dimensions. Tool descriptions are present but generic (10-30 chars, well below 50-200 char baseline for LLM optimization). Input schemas exist but lack rigor: many parameters missing type definitions (e.g., 'path' and 'name' in get_object_info have no 'type' field visible in schema), no enums for constrained inputs, no parameter descriptions in schemas. Output schemas completely undocumented. execute_code exposes arbitrary code execution without validation or confirmation. Error handling absent, no recovery guidance, no categorization. Naming is verb-forward but ambiguous (modify_object lacks specificity about what modifies). No evidence of idempotency, pagination, or composition patterns. STDIO transport caps protocol readiness at 50.

• Expand all tool descriptions to 50-200 characters. Include WHAT the tool does, WHEN to use it (vs similar tools), and WHAT it returns. Example: 'Get detailed information about a Houdini object by path (e.g., /obj/sphere1). Returns object type, position, rotation, scale, and material. Use this before modify_object to inspect current state.'
• Add explicit type and description to every parameter in input schemas. Example: {'path': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Full path to object (e.g., /obj/sphere1). Must start with /obj/ or /out/.'}, 'name': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Display name of object (optional, for reference only).'}}
• Document output schemas for all tools. Example for create_object: {'type': 'object', 'properties': {'object_id': {'type': 'string'}, 'object_name': {'type': 'string'}, 'object_type': {'type': 'string'}, 'path': {'type': 'string'}}}
• Add confirmation step to execute_code. Implement a dry-run mode or require explicit confirmation before executing arbitrary Python. Return the code to be executed and ask the user to approve. Violates pattern:confirmation-request.
• Rename modify_object to a more specific verb (e.g., update_object_properties, set_object_transform). Add parameter descriptions specifying which properties can be modified (position, rotation, scale, etc.) and their expected formats.
