MCP Reasoner with multiple reasoning strategies including Beam Search and Monte Carlo Tree Search
Single tool 'mcp-reasoner' has a complete input schema with 7 parameters, all typed and constrained (enums, min/max bounds). However, the tool description is generic and lacks actionable guidance on when/why to use it. Parameter descriptions are present but minimal (10-30 chars each), below the 72-char baseline. No output schema is documented, LLMs cannot predict what the tool returns or chain results to downstream tools. The tool name 'mcp-reasoner' is a noun, not a verb; it should be 'reason' or 'run_reasoning' to signal the action. No error handling guidance visible. Overall: schema is solid, naming and descriptions are weak, output is undocumented.
Advanced reasoning tool with multiple strategies including Beam Search and Monte Carlo Tree Search
Tool name 'mcp-reasoner' is a noun, not a verb. Should be 'reason', 'run_reasoning', or 'execute_reasoning_strategy' to signal the action and help LLMs infer intent from the name alone.
Tool description 'Advanced reasoning tool with multiple strategies including Beam Search and Monte Carlo Tree Search' is generic (95 chars) and lacks WHEN/WHY guidance. Does not explain when to use beam_search vs mcts, what the output represents, or how to interpret results.
No output schema documented. LLMs cannot predict return type, structure, or fields needed for downstream chaining. Without documented output, agents cannot plan multi-step reasoning workflows.
Parameter descriptions are minimal (10-30 chars): 'Current reasoning step', 'Current step number', 'Total expected steps'. Baseline is 72 chars. Descriptions lack format hints, constraints, or examples. E.g., 'thought' should explain: 'A single reasoning step (1-500 chars). Be concise and logical.'

No error handling guidance. If strategyType is invalid, beamWidth exceeds max, or reasoning fails, LLMs have no recovery path. Should document: 'If reasoning diverges, reduce beamWidth or increase totalThoughts.'
