What to fix (3)

2 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. How to fix →

Tools: ask_expert, tat_ask

Negotiates MCP 2024-11-05. Structured output, tool output schemas and elicitation arrived in 2025-06-18.

Upgrade the MCP SDK and negotiate 2025-06-18 or newer. How to fix →

2 tools share an identical description with another tool on this server.

Make each description say how the tool differs from its siblings, or the model will pick between them at random. How to fix →
