An MCP server for the Pounding The Rock blog for everything San Antonio Spurs
Server has 5 tools with basic verb-noun naming (get_*, search_*). All tools have descriptions (10-60 chars, below ideal 50-200 baseline). Input schemas are present with type definitions and parameter descriptions. However, output schemas are completely undocumented, no return type specifications visible in code. Error handling is minimal; no recovery guidance or actionable error messages. Tool descriptions are generic and lack WHEN/WHY context. No tool annotations (readOnlyHint, etc.). Caching logic is present but not exposed to LLM. Overall: functional but below production baseline.

No output schemas documented. LLM cannot infer return structure (fields, types, nesting). Forces guessing on downstream tool chaining.
Descriptions are 30-40 chars, below 50-200 baseline. Generic text ('Fetch', 'Get', 'Search') lacks WHEN/WHY context. LLM cannot distinguish between similar tools or know when to call them.
No error handling or recovery guidance. If RSS fetch fails, RSS timeout occurs, or player not found, LLM receives raw exception. No actionable next steps.

No pagination support. get_latest_articles and get_game_results accept 'limit' but no offset/cursor. Large result sets will blow context window.
No tool annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint). All tools are read-only but LLM has no machine-readable signal.
