Server defines 5 tools with complete input schemas and descriptions. All tools are READ_ONLY or REQUEST_ONLY (no destructive side effects). Naming follows verb_noun convention (identity_lookup, signin_history, ip_reputation, siem_recent_events, recommend_account_containment). Descriptions are present (10-100 chars) but lack depth, they state WHAT but not WHEN or WHY to call each tool. Parameters are typed (string, boolean, enum) but lack descriptions explaining their purpose or constraints. Output schemas are not documented, LLMs cannot predict response structure. Error handling is minimal: most tools raise ValueError with generic messages ('synthetic user was not found') rather than actionable recovery guidance. The recommend_account_containment tool enforces server-side policy (authorization, approval_required checks) which is good, but the error message 'containment recommendation denied by server-side policy' does not guide the LLM on what to do next.
Return synthetic identity and managed-device context for one user.
Return a synthetic defensive reputation assessment for one address.
Create a request-only containment recommendation; never change an account.
Return synthetic recent security events for one user.
Return synthetic recent sign-in activity for one user.
Output schemas not documented. Tools return dict[str, Any] with no schema specification. LLMs cannot predict response structure, forcing them to guess field names and types for downstream reasoning.
Parameter descriptions missing. All 5 tools accept parameters (user_id, ip_address, alert_id, verdict, authorized, approval_required) with no descriptions explaining their purpose, format, or constraints. LLMs cannot infer parameter semantics from names alone.
Tool descriptions lack WHEN/WHY context. Descriptions state WHAT each tool does but not when to call it instead of similar tools or what prerequisites exist. E.g., 'Return synthetic identity and managed-device context for one user' does not explain when to call identity_lookup vs siem_recent_events.

Error messages not actionable. ValueError exceptions ('synthetic user was not found', 'containment recommendation denied by server-side policy') do not guide LLM recovery. Should suggest next steps: 'User not found. Valid user_id is: demo-user-001' or 'Containment denied: authorized=false. Set authorized=true if you have approval.'
No tool annotations. Tools lack readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, or idempotentHint metadata. While all tools are READ_ONLY or REQUEST_ONLY, explicit annotations would help clients optimize caching and retry logic.
