A Go-based MCP server that provides tools for network diagnostics (ping), prompts for querying information, and file resources
Single tool 'online' has a basic schema and description but lacks depth. Description is 89 chars (below baseline 194), parameter descriptions are minimal, and no output schema is documented. The tool performs a simple network ping with minimal complexity. No error recovery guidance provided. Tool naming is acceptable but generic. Overall, this is a minimal implementation suitable for basic use but falls short of production-grade quality standards.
Pings the network address once to determine if the system is online.
Tool description is too short (89 chars vs baseline 194). Lacks context on WHEN to use, WHAT it returns, and any prerequisites. LLMs cannot determine selection criteria.
No output schema documented. LLMs cannot plan downstream operations or extract structured data from the ping result. Response format is undocumented.
Parameter 'address' description is minimal ('The IP address or hostname to ping'). No format constraints, examples, or validation rules documented. LLMs lack guidance on valid input formats.
Error handling returns raw error messages without recovery guidance. 'Error pinging X: Y' gives LLM no actionable next step. Should suggest alternatives or retry strategies.

Tool name 'online' is generic and does not follow verb_noun convention. 'ping_host' or 'check_connectivity' would be clearer and more discoverable.
