A troubleshooting knowledge base system that allows adding troubleshooting documents, searching for solutions, retrieving documents, and answering questions using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)
Server has 6 tools with basic schemas and descriptions, but significant gaps limit production readiness. All tools have descriptions (10-50 chars, mostly short), and input schemas are present with type definitions. However, descriptions lack depth, most are single-sentence and do not explain WHEN to use the tool, prerequisites, or what happens on error. Parameters lack descriptions in several tools (e.g., 'k' in search_documents has no guidance on valid range). Output schemas are not documented, LLMs cannot predict response structure. Error handling is absent; no recovery guidance or categorization. Tool composition is reasonable (single responsibility), but naming could be more specific (e.g., 'answer_with_rag' is vague about what 'RAG' means to an LLM unfamiliar with the acronym). No tool annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint) despite clear risk levels assigned. Security: no audit logging visible, no permission gates, no input validation shown.
Add a new troubleshooting document to the knowledge base.
Answer a question using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation).
Delete a document from the knowledge base.
Get the full content of a specific document.
List all documents in the knowledge base.
Search for relevant documents based on a query.
Output schemas not documented. LLMs cannot predict response structure or plan downstream tool calls. No documentation of what fields are returned by any tool.
Parameter descriptions missing or incomplete. 'k' in search_documents has no range guidance; 'tags' in add_document lacks explanation of format/limits; 'question' in answer_with_rag has no length or format constraints.
Tool descriptions too brief (10-50 chars). Do not explain WHEN to use each tool, prerequisites, or consequences. 'Answer a question using RAG' does not clarify what RAG is or when to prefer it over other tools.

No error handling or recovery guidance. Tools do not indicate what errors are retryable, user-fixable, or fatal. No actionable error messages shown in code.
No tool annotations despite clear risk levels. delete_document is DESTRUCTIVE but lacks destructiveHint. search_documents and list_documents are READ_ONLY but lack readOnlyHint. Annotations help LLMs reason about safety.
