Memory forensics framework MCP server that provides tools to analyze memory dumps using Volatility 3
All three tools have minimal descriptions (10-15 chars), no parameter descriptions, and no documented output schemas. Tool names are verb-based but descriptions lack context for LLM selection. Input schemas exist but are bare (only type and description for image_path). No error handling guidance, no output structure documentation, and no indication of what data is returned. This server falls well below production baseline (194 chars avg description, 72 chars avg param annotation).
Get the command line arguments of the processes in the memory image.
Get the connections running in the memory image.
Get the processes running in the memory image.
All tool descriptions are under 20 characters and provide no context for LLM selection. 'Get the processes running in the memory image' (10 chars) does not explain when to use this vs alternatives, what format is returned, or prerequisites.
No parameter descriptions. The 'image_path' parameter has only type 'string' and a bare description 'Path to the memory image file'. No guidance on format (absolute vs relative), required file extensions, or expected size constraints.
No documented output schemas. Tools return subprocess stdout as raw strings (List[str] type hint is misleading, actual return is a single string). LLMs cannot plan downstream calls or extract structured data without knowing the response format.

No error handling or recovery guidance. If the volatility 'vol' command fails (missing binary, invalid image, permission denied), subprocess.run returns a non-zero exit code but the tool does not validate or provide actionable error messages to the LLM.
Return type annotation (List[str]) does not match actual behavior (returns single string from stdout). This mismatch will confuse LLMs and type checkers. Actual output is unstructured text, not a list.
