MCP server for Espressif ESP-IDF development, providing tools for querying technical documentation via Kapa.ai and performing ESP-IDF operations (build, flash, monitor)
Both tools have minimal descriptions (under 100 chars) and critically, input schemas are loaded from external JSON files (docs-ai-schema.json, idf-ops-schema.json) that are NOT visible in the provided source code. Per hard scoring rules, when schemas cannot be verified in source, schema score must be 0. Tool names lack action verbs (esp_docs_ai, idf_operations are vague). No parameter descriptions visible. No output schema documentation. Error handling is basic (isError flag only, no recovery guidance). Security concern: idf_operations is a WRITE tool with no permission checks or dry-run capability.
Ask technical questions about Espressif chips, ESP-IDF, or related documentation.
Perform build, flash or monitor tasks on ESP-IDF projects
Input schemas loaded from external files not visible in source code. Cannot verify parameter types, descriptions, or constraints.
Tool names lack action verbs. 'esp_docs_ai' and 'idf_operations' are vague. Should be 'query_esp_docs' and 'execute_idf_build' or similar. LLMs cannot infer intent from current names.
idf_operations is a destructive WRITE tool (build, flash, monitor) with no permission checks, dry-run capability, or confirmation step. Agents could accidentally flash wrong firmware.
Error handling is minimal. Only returns isError boolean with generic message. No recovery guidance, no categorization (retryable vs fatal), no actionable next steps for LLM.

API_KEY exposed as environment variable read at class load time. If server logs or traces tool calls, key could leak. Should use server-side secret injection pattern.
