MCP server for managing media requests through Overseerr, enabling search, request creation, status tracking, and discovery of movies and TV shows
Server has 10 tools with basic schemas and descriptions, but significant gaps limit production readiness. All tools have descriptions (10-50 chars, below ideal 50-200 baseline), and input schemas are present but minimal. Parameter descriptions are sparse or missing entirely. No output schemas documented. Error handling is absent, no recovery guidance, categorization, or actionable error messages. Tool naming follows verb_noun convention (search, request, list, get, update, delete, trending, available, status) which is good, but descriptions lack context on WHEN to use each tool vs alternatives. No tool annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint) despite clear risk levels. Composition is reasonable, tools are single-purpose, but chaining support is weak (e.g., search returns results but unclear if IDs match request tool's mediaId parameter). Security: API key is injected server-side (good), but no audit logging, permission gates, or rate limiting visible.

No output schemas documented. LLMs cannot plan downstream tool calls or extract required fields (e.g., mediaId from search results to pass to request tool). Baseline: 100% of A+ tools document return types.
Descriptions are too short (10-35 chars vs. baseline 50-200). They lack context on WHEN to use each tool, what it returns, and how it differs from similar tools. E.g., 'Get requests by status' does not explain why this exists vs. overseerr:requests:list with filter parameter.

Get trending media with recommendations
Parameter descriptions are missing or minimal. 'query' in search has description, but 'page' lacks guidance on range/limits. 'seasons' in request lacks format (array of integers? 1-indexed?). 'filter' and 'sort' in requests:list have no descriptions. LLMs cannot infer valid values.
No tool annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint) despite clear risk levels. overseerr:requests:delete is DESTRUCTIVE but unmarked. overseerr:search is READ_ONLY but unmarked. Agents cannot reason about safety or retry semantics.
No error handling guidance. If search returns no results, if request fails due to invalid mediaId, or if delete fails due to permission, the agent receives no recovery path. No categorization (retryable vs. user-fixable vs. fatal).
