What to fix (2)

6 parameter(s) across 2 tool(s) have no description.

Add a "description" to each parameter with its format and an example ("ISO 8601 date, e.g. 2026-10-17"). This is the commonest cause of wrong arguments on the first call.

Tools: random_photo, search_photos

Handshake + tools/list takes ~1,520 ms.

Serve tools/list from memory, keep the process warm, and host close to your users. Every new agent session pays this before its first call.
