Hive defines 8 tools with basic verb-noun naming (get_, list_, send_, check_, read_, mark_) and short descriptions (15-60 chars). All tools have input schemas with type declarations, but parameter descriptions are minimal or absent. Output schemas are not documented. Error handling and recovery guidance are not evident. The server follows a reasonable naming convention but lacks the depth of documentation and schema completeness expected for production use. Most tools are READ_ONLY or WRITE operations on a messaging/agent system, but descriptions do not explain when to use each tool or what data structures are returned.

• Expand tool descriptions to 100-200 characters. Include WHAT the tool does, WHEN to use it (vs similar tools), and what data is returned. Example: 'Get the calling agent's configuration including ID, name, and permissions. Use this to verify the agent's identity before performing sensitive operations.'
• Document output schemas for all tools. Specify field names, types, and whether they are required. Example for list_agents: 'Returns {agents: [{id: string, name: string, status: 'online'|'offline', created_at: ISO8601}], total: number, next_cursor?: string}'.
• Add detailed descriptions to 'filter' and 'pagination' parameters. Specify what fields filter accepts (e.g., 'status, created_after, name_contains'), pagination structure (offset/limit or cursor), and constraints (e.g., 'limit: 1-100, default 20').
• Add error handling guidance to tool descriptions. Document common failures and recovery steps: 'If agent_id not found, call list_agents() to discover valid IDs. If permission denied, verify the calling agent has admin scope.'
• Implement confirmation or dry-run for destructive tools (send_message, reply_to). Add an optional 'dry_run: boolean' parameter or a separate 'preview_message' tool so agents can verify intent before committing.
